✅ You just want to do whole-home cleans: It can struggle with more specific instructions, but it has no problem with regular whole-home cleans.
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.
We’ve been waiting for Shark to enter the robot vacuum chat for a while, and we weren’t disappointed.
✔️ Cleaning modes: Consider a vacuum with various cleaning modes if you like the option to fully customize your cleaning experience or you're looking for one product that can clean multiple floor types.
If you just want something that's shallow in profile for getting beneath furniture, look for a robovac without a raised central puck. This puck is generally used for robot vacuum navigation, but there are options that use different approaches – including all Roomba models, and some of Roborock's newest bots like the Qrevo Slim and Roborock Saros 10R (both of which we rate very highly).
As you’re getting a three-in-one system with this robot vacuum, we also tested the stick and handheld vacuums. The stick vacuum excelled at lifting pet hair and dust on hard floors while the handheld worked best at collecting lingering crumbs.
✅ 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.
We consider pet hair, too. Using the real thing, our expert grinds it into the carpet to create a worst-case scenario before putting each vacuum to work.
It lifted most pet hair, and cleaned room edges well, in part thanks to its effective spin brush and three driving modes that let you select when you want it to tackle them. Despite not having a spot clean function, it mopped our flooring in one sweep (although our testers found a second sweep was required to leave it fully refreshed).

Why we love it: We've tested many Dreame stick vacuums, robots and vacuum mops in the GH Cleaning Lab and can confidently say that it's one of our favorite brands because it performs well for the price in multiple categories, including robot vacuums, vacuum-mop combos and mops for hardwood floors.
❌ You want something that mops well: The mopping here is just dragging a wet wipe across the floor, and not worth bothering with.
With some 2-in-1 robovacs, the mopping is a bit of an afterthought, but the Eufy X10 Pro Omni has rotating pads that press down for a more thorough clean on hard floors. On test, it had no trouble at all cleaning a dried-on sugary drink and sticky sauce, automatically choosing the right amount of water for the job.
That said, the functionality worked well in our lab tests with the robot recognising barriers and using its retractable legs to move over them.
