# Best quiet robot vacuums Source: https://dockandmop.co.uk/best/best-quiet-robot-vacuum Publisher: Dock and Mop. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://dockandmop.co.uk/how-we-pick In a flat, a robot vacuum is rarely more than a room away, so noise matters more than in a house. There are two sources to think about. The robot itself, which most makers rate in decibels and many soften with a silent or quiet suction mode, and the dock, which can be very loud for a few seconds when it sucks the bin empty. A low decibel figure only helps if it is the mode you will actually use, so check what the quiet mode costs in suction. Scheduling is the other tool: running the robot while you are out avoids the problem entirely. This guide compares seven robots on the noise figure the listing gives, any quiet mode or quiet dock, suction, the dock and runtime. No listing here states a dock noise level, so that is marked where relevant. ## Products ### 1.
