Best robot vacuums with a HEPA filter

In its favour

• Slim 3.14 inch (8 cm) profile, and 3D detection helps it clean under tight furniture and hanging cabinets.
• AdaptiLift chassis climbs thresholds and U-shaped furniture legs up to 4 cm high.
• 22,000 Pa HyperForce suction, with a FlexiArm riser mop and side brush that reach corners under furniture.

Good to know

• The listing gives no runtime, so coverage per charge is unknown.
• Spec details are thin compared with rivals, with little on the dock beyond emptying and drying.

In its favour

• The bagless base holds up to 60 days of debris and needs no disposal bags.
• True HEPA in the base is stated to trap 99.97% of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns.
• Recharge and Resume sends it back to charge and then on to where it left off.

Good to know

• Sonic mopping uses a pad on the robot; the base does not wash it.
• The listing gives no Pa figure for suction power.

In its favour

• The 29 cm roller is refreshed in real time from a dual reservoir, so it is not dragging dirty water across the boards.
• 1 kg of downward pressure at 170 RPM targets dried-on marks without you scrubbing by hand.
• Station washes and dries the mop, collects dirty water and doses detergent automatically.

Good to know

• The listing does not state water-flow levels, which wood owners will want to fine-tune.
• Eufy advises against mopping up large spills, and gives no suction figure in Pa.

In its favour

• Auto-Retract Mopping System lifts the pad to the top of the robot, so carpets stay dry, according to iRobot.
• Dual Rubber Brushes avoid pet hair tangles while strong suction pulls embedded dirt from carpet.
• AutoWash Dock empties debris, refills the tank, and washes and dries the pad.

Good to know

• The listing gives no suction figure in Pa, so raw power is hard to compare.
• Runtime is not stated in the listing, so coverage per charge is unclear.

In its favour

• Rated at 52 dB, with five suction levels to choose a quieter setting per room.
• Empties into a 3 L sealed bag that lasts up to 2 months.
• Daily or weekly schedules in the Tapo app let it run while you are out.

Good to know

• 5,300 Pa suction is low compared with the flagship models here.
• The noise of the emptying dock is not stated.

In its favour

• The spec table lists laminate, vinyl, engineered wood, wood, marble and tile as suitable floors.
• The roller cleans itself as it works, so it is not pushing dirty water across the planks.
• A cover closes over the roller on carpet, and the dock dries the roller with heat.

Good to know

• Water flow settings are not described, only automatic solution dispensing.
• No Pa suction figure is given, only a comparison with older Roomba models.

In its favour

• The app offers four suction speeds, starting with Silent, then Standard, Strong and Turbo.
• The dock washes and hot-air dries the mops and empties dust every 75 days.
• Runs up to 160 minutes in Standard mode on its 5,200 mAh battery.

Good to know

• How loud the dock is while emptying is not stated.
