Detalhes, Ficção e Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners
Why we love it: Its extra-large dust cup is super easy to remove and the HEPA filter minimizes allergens emitted while vacuuming.
Who it's best for: This stick vacuum is ideal for those who want an easy-to-use model that can do it all. With multiple settings and attachment options for different surfaces to clean, this vacuum has a one-hour run time, which is quite high for a cordless model.
Who it's best for: If you're tired of cleaning the dust bin of a bagless vacuum and you're willing to spend big bucks on a vacuum, you'll love this self-emptying model with high-tech features.
This will dramatically reduce how often you’ll need to clear it – the iRobots, for example, claim the container can house up to 60 days' worth of dust before it needs disposing of.
Premium, but decent value given the features and performance. Worth the investment for pet owners who want something for regular use.
Unsurprisingly given its price, there were a few things to flag; testers noticed that the mop plates would collect dust and crumbs when vacuuming, so would recommend removing them for that task.
✅ You want a hands-off dock: The dock will empty dust (into a larger than usual dock dustbin), refill water, dispense detergent and even wash and dry the mop pads, so there's minimal effort required from you.
❌ You don't need a mop: There's pelo vacuum-only version of this particular model, so if you don't need the mopping capabilities, look elsewhere in the list.
We've been impressed with all of Roborock's recent launches, and most pack similarly advanced features and reliable performance. If you have low-sitting furniture, the Roborock Saros 10R or Roborock Qrevo Slim would be a better choice as both use an innovative new navigation system that doesn't require a raised puck.
Most robovacs fling large debris about the room rather than vacuuming it up, so this is very impressive. Another area where many robovacs fail is on cleaning around the edges and into the corners of rooms. Again, the Freo X Ultra shines here: the side brushes get right up to the edges of rooms.
Finally, there's the Freo X Plus, which is significantly cheaper and more basic than the others in the range. It has mopping capabilities but the dock is just a simple charge dock.

Tackling an entire room from start to finish took 14 minutes, and the robot collected an average of 95 per cent of debris – just a few biscuit crumbs were left behind. However, it struggled on our dust-specific test, only removing the very top layer on carpet.
They aren’t the cheapest, but they can take the hard work out of your cleaning routine, and our Good Housekeeping Institute experts were impressed with their capabilities. They save time and effort compared to regular vacuum cleaners and are ideal for a mid-week clean.
