[@thorlo1278]

After listening to you about robot vacuums and which was best for the price I could afford, I settled on the Roborock S4Max. It is the best one for me. My wife and I are both disabled and cannot vacuum and mop. With this vacuum, we get the floor vacuumed 3 times a week whole house and our bedroom/bathroom everyday. I mop as often as I can, which isn't as much as I would like, but being disabled and fighting cancer I do what I can.

Good luck my friend!

[@DamorahTalset]

For your next comparison, and tests in general, I'd very much appreciate if you include their ability to traverse over ledges, thresholds, what they get stuck on, etc. This has actually been the main determining factor for me buying robot vacuums because every single door in my home has a threshold, and they vary in size too. I've seen a few of these tests in your videos but it's not a regular thing. Thanks!

[@Foojaleeckalikeelamaka]

Long time lurker, first time commentor. I just wanted to thank you for all the time, effort, money & expertise you put into these videos. Thanks to you when our very old third hand vacuum finally died we now have our very first robot vacuum (Roomba i7+) and very first stick vacuum (Dyson V15) & most importantly I have a very VERY happy wife. As I speak we're making the three hour trip to her in-laws place so she can show them her "magical vacuum!". Thank you for making my job of "just getting something that actually works" so much easier than it had any right to be and making our house so much cleaner than I thought was possible. Stay safe :)

[@WirIez]

You are the reason I bought a vacuum robot, and also the reason why I upgraded it to the best one. It's been such a blessing to have these incredible robots, it saves times, it makes your house clean and frankly, it's kinda fun to look at and gives a strange sense of company. I have been showing it off to everyone and never stopped telling people to just GET ONE. I even adjusted all my furnitures to be robot friendly. Emptying a bin, installing a mop and clicking a button to get shiny newly mopped floors before having guests over is such a luxury. Cleaning robots are the best!!

[@mwniels]

I really appreciate the work you put into testing each of these vacuums. This is impressive. One category you could consider for future testing is repairability. I've really liked the fact that my roborock is easy to fix and find parts for.

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks! I agree that is a high point. Its kinda a moving target in the long term though. I'm hoping the newer ones bring that perk up with them.

[@mwniels]

@@VacuumWars true, part availability would be constantly changing. What I was thinking of was a simpler version of ifixit's repairability score. For example, the fact that all of the screws on the roborock s5 are Philips (PH2) is easy to quantify without full disassembly. Also, it's easy to see that all of the pieces are modular and replaceable. Honestly, it's just an idea and perhaps I'm too nerdy :)

[@joebrodie]

You should check to see if these vacuums will run without internet/cloud access. Today (12/7) AWS East outage is causing my Roomba i8+ to not run/open the mobile app to clean a room. My Roborock S5 is still going like a champ because the app is local and not cloud based. I think that is a significant deduction to think about.

[@VacuumWars]

@@VacuumWars I’m considering the S9+ with Braava Jet bundle for $1,099. However, I just heard that roborock is coming out with a new 2 in 1 combo- S7 MaxV. I’m trying to get the best vacuum for pet fur (long-haired cats) and conflicted on whether or not to wait. Based on your experience, what is the best to handle pet hair for a townhouse with medium pile carpet, laminate and hardwood floors??

It's been 4 years since I bought a robovac or watched many comparison videos and they all look so much better than they did 4 years ago. The budget looks like the top of the line pick when I was shopping around.

[@jeroenvermunt3372]

Agree, they really got a lot better

[@andrewgoldberger4880]

I have an Ilife V4, it's great for a 2 bedroom condo with carpet. Yet it is what is referred to as a Random Robot. It does have obstacle avoidance yet just kinda bobs around until the battery is done and then docks itself. However, it does have a pattern, it does sense walls and does have various settings to ensure the whole place is cleaned.

[@mitjabraunwarth4292]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thanks so much.

[@hifriend783]

After finishing the video, wow. It's crazy how Neato went from being a company whose robots you liked so much, and from a company with some incredible robot vacuum innovations, to not even being in the top 10. I hope that they can get their mojo back! I really liked some of their much older products.

[@JoshuaYeungM]

I came here for this - I'm curious where and why they have fallen off so significantly?

[@overkill1340]

@@JoshuaYeungM They aren't doing anything to make their vacs better. Vacuum Wars wants self-empty bins and obstacle avoidance and Neato hasn't added either. Frankly the newest lineup of Neatos seem to be the old line up with different body parts. Personally I want a robot that can navigate my house and furniture, but nothing has changed with Neato, including the plethora of navigation issues.

[@sma1968]

One of my worst tech buying mistakes was getting a Neato D7 Vacuum. Besides being buggy, getting stuck often, etc. the build is such that wheels get clogged and are not easily cleanable without actually taking the thing apart. It leaves scuff marks beyond belief on hardwood floors. For being 'smart' it misses rooms every other cleaning cycle... Nope. No more Neato vacs for me.

Got the S5 max based on videos from this channel. After all the praises being sung, i thought you were overly optimistic about it- i was wrong, it manages to clean even carpets pretty efficiently which completely blew me away and navigates even problematic places without getting stuck. It doesn't replace properly cleaning your house, but returning to a dust free floor every day is a joy. Thanks for convincing me to get one!

[@marct5211]

Great reviews, if possible you should also add a issues rating which covers the software, the app is the primary way to interact with the vacuums and I've heard the Ecovacs ones have major issues and keep losing/corrupting maps, this puts me off their vacuums which is a shame.

Putting the top 10 in the description was so wise. So many YTers will make you watch entire video. In your case you saved us the hassle and if anyone is interested to get an idea of your method they can watch and see if they agree.

After using a roborock s4 for 2 years we bought a Lydsto robot from Amazon. It was only $300. It comes with an auto empty bin and a mop. Probably doesn't do well with carpet but with our hardwood floors I like this vaccum better than the s4

[@navjeetbains19]

[@kurtbischoff8661]

Thank you so much for this review. I ended up going with the Ecovacs N8 Pro+ and holy crap, this thing is soo freakin cool. We had one of those cheap knockoffs from amazon (eufy), that CONSTANTLY got stuck, and made it essentially worthless. This thing, with its auto empty, mapping no go zones, AND mopping, this thing does what a robot vac is supposed to do. It cleans every square inch of our 1200 sqft main level, and it requires virtually zero human interaction after initial mapping, which was also very cool btw. I watched the thing map out our house on my phone for a good 1.5 hours on the first run. Pretty much the only interaction is to fill the water tank when you want it to mop and empty the dock bin once a month or so. I chose the N8 because it was about the same price as the J7+ and it had the mopping function. The S7+ was far more expensive (Around $900) when you had to buy the dock separate, otherwise I probably would have gone with the S7+, but quite frankly, the N8 is so damn good, I dont think the difference in price would have been worth it. No way I would have made the right choice w/out this review....thank you so much!

[@eruilluvitar]

I got the j7+ immediately after watching your review and it is finally the vacuum I've always wanted. I've had a number of other robovacs in the past and none of them have provided the experience I wanted until I got the j7+. Its obstacle avoidance is fantastic and I've actually found that it finishes jobs in about half the time of the s9 it replaced. It also doesn't get stuck on my flimsy rug corners and it doesn't get stuck going under my just-barely-not-tall-enough furniture like the s9 constantly did. I no longer have to baby my vacuum in order for it to finish a job. Thanks for the recommendation!

The only issue I've found with it are some skid marks from the tires right next to the base. I have the base on a tile floor so it wiped right off after I hit it with WD-40 but I've seen some comments in the forums about problems people have getting those marks out of carpet or hardwood floors (solution: put a small mat under the base).

Anyone looking into an Ecovac T8+… it took me about 5 auto runs for it to fully map my house. After I got over that initial frustration, I thought this was a great vacuum. Until it started constantly losing the map with the inability to restore. Which wouldn’t be so bad if it would map my house successfully in one run. Also, If you have pets, don’t bother with the auto empty because it’s not powerful enough to get any of it out, you’ll end up manually emptying the bin anyway.

[@helendoyle8014]

I'm having the same problem with my Ecovac T8 AIVI, it keeps loosing my map! My other problem I am having is that the auto empty dust bin does not empty completely and I still have to go in and physically empty it myself. I wish there was a robot that would know when it's bin was full during a cleaning and go back to the dock and empty itself and then resume cleaning! This vac is only two months old and if I can't fix these issues, I may just return it to Costco.

[@arevee9429]

Thanks, VW. It's funny what the results are when doing 'data-driven' ranking. The trick is - how to weigh each category? I tried this on decision-making for projects at work and was surprised at the resulting rankings. The Roborock or Ecovacs do look tempting with the integrated mops that vibrate. Even the dedicated "high-end" iRobot mop just drags a pad across the floor. I was not impressed with that one.

You should review EVERYTHING. Great job and to the point

[@VacuumWars]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@Phillomath]

Please include ease of servicing and parts availability in your reviews! Based on one of your reviews I got the Ecovacs Ozmo T8 AIVI and while it cleaned well for over a year, one of the wheels has jammed due to debris buildup. This was not surprising as these are complex machines operating in dirty environments, what did surprise me though was the how difficult it is to repair this robot. Based on the scant information I could find, this will be a fairly difficult process with a significant chance of doing lasting damage to the robot. The manufacturer offers no parts or guidance on how to address this inevitable issue which makes this an e-waste time-bomb. I will be attempting to disassemble this based on a community guide from ifixit and if successful, I will be selling it to purchase a roomba instead. Before this robot I had a roomba which gave many years of service and had multiple parts easily replaced before I decided to upgrade to a fancier robot with more features. I now regret that decision.

[@Zilvaras2]

I think it would be GREAT to have this sheet with all the specs, to hide irrelevant features and grade by features which are really necessary (for example if I don't have carpet, mop might be the most important feature). Is there a way to get access to this or similar sheet?

[@Mr.Meme01]

Yes exactly this is what I was asking for. Why collect all this data on all these vacuums only to not provide it? Kind of defeats the purpose of collecting it in the first place.

[@Cnutthegreat15]

@@Mr.Meme01 because it's his data. Just because he showed you his inner workings, it's not owed to you.

[@PrinceNeeta]

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks a lot

[@VacuumWars]

You're very welcome! Glad you like it!

[@danielatripodi4732]

Last year you divided in categories by price and I think it was very useful

[@DirtDude117]

One thing that I think also deserves a mention, is how to dispose of the sucked up debris. Shark is nice and doesn't make you buy their expensive bags like iRobot.

[@test-ml9wr]

Bagless are a lot messier than bagged and are worse for capturing 100% of dust and debris. That leak a lot both during operations and mostly suring emptying. Considering the whole point of the a vacuum is to get rid of this stuff, bagless are not recommended. Not all bags are expensive.

[@MustachioFurioso9134]

@@test-ml9wr the shark really doesn't leak much. It is, however, not a HEPA rated one. But the actual dirt and debris itself, isn't messy to clean at all.

[@jogyj]

Is it possible for you to publish the table? Then we can look at the whole thing again ourselves, because we may find other things more important than you do. I love your videos like this, I think they're really good. How about a bagless station can you make a comparison of those?

[@MrQuadraaa]

+1

[@-Tac0caT-]

Yeah, this really needs the rankings listed. The final score is largely irrelevant, particularly since we cannot see how it was balanced. For example, I am looking for a robot to pick up cat hair. Which is the best at that feature?

[@spacemoon56]

Got the Deebot T8+ from Best Buy. Came with the mop and auto empty base for only $450

[@dodiklaco]

Great job 👏🏼 thanks for your reviews 👍🏼

[@VacuumWars]

You’re welcome and thank you for watching!

[@AdamsReviews]

Good Comparison. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU for not giving Shark the overall win.

[@Idk-tj1cx]

Why are you pleased that shark didn’t get the overall win?

[@AdamsReviews]

@@Idk-tj1cx because last year he gave it the win and it was clearly not the best robot vacuum.

[@ozztheforester]

Adam, what's your take on the Shark AI with XL base you recently reviewed? I am surprised its not even on this list. I am open for suggestions for a vacuum which I don't have to mess with hair tangles and has the ability to avoid cords and small objects on it's way

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks!

[@darkhenrahl]

I really think some of the alternatives from the xiaomi "family" like Dreame (Z10pro) or Trouver (Finder) could fit nicely into the list, due to their good price/(supposedly good) performance

[@jon27d]

I think the Wyze hardware is from Xiaomi for what that's worth

[@zebsheen6128]

I came here to see if the dreame max d9 was here

[@VacuumWars]

Come back around tomorrow at 4 PM EST for my full review of the Dreame Z10 Pro!

Thank you for the very detailed review of these vacuums before I make a purchase of one. This review was very helpful!

[@VacuumWars]

That is great to hear! Thanks!

[@sethflorentz4809]

I'd go with the j7. One thing that I don't like about non roombas is no replacement parts (things like wheels, clean heads, bins, etc)

[@kingdomsandclansfilms3141]

[@amymacleod3494]

Thank you these reviews give me confidence to make an informed choice. Do you have any knowledge on which models cope with 2 floors?

[@nicolassama2740]

Would you consider reviewing more mopping robots? There are a lot of them and the reviews in that field are nonexistent or sketchy, some examples are: Shinebot W455, narwal t10, DEEBOT OZMO N9, Veniibot, etc :)

[@jennypenny812]

Also the yeedi vac + station please

[@nicolassama2740]

@@jennypenny812 I ended up buying that model! It arrives in 2 weeks. I really wanted the veniibot h10 with the dry feature to prevent bacteria and smell from growing in the pads but the lack of rotation was a deal breaker for me. We will see how the yeedi mop station works out, kind of a blind buy considering that almost all reviews are sponsored or poorly done.

[@jennypenny812]

@@nicolassama2740 oh nice, I am looking to buy it, not much because of reviews but function and pricing... if you can and remember let me know how it goes. Thanks

[@nicolassama2740]

@@jennypenny812 It arrived today, so far so good. I will let you know after some cleans how it performs. Regarding the deebot N9+, don't bother, its the exact same model... in fact, in the app there are some leftovers where they forgot to replace deebot with jeedi bot station.

[@nicolassama2740]

@@jennypenny812 This is my first impression: - Cleaning wise, it's great, it's doing better than what I initially expected. Definitely worth the price in this aspect. - The pathing is good as well, even after I moved some furniture around the robot didn't go too crazy. - The mapping, however, has failed and missed a lot of rooms. I'm hoping that it picks them up on the second go. - It's slow. It took about 45 mins to mop two rooms (20m^2). It might have been due to it being the first pass. - The vacuuming is clearly a secondary option, only buy this robot if you are in for the mopping feature. - Surprisingly, it has an auto dry feature that I think is not advertised anywhere. It pumps air from where it normally drains the water, that's cool but quite ineffective, will take approximately 8 hours to dry the zone. - It's very quiet, I had for reference my roborock which is very loud and this thing doesn't make any noise. - The carpet detection seems to be good, it detected all of the carpets in my house. It did surpass the limits at some point but it was only to get the pathing right, nothing too bad. - This is important, the water tank that the robot carries is what's used to wet the pads. It doesn't auto-refill, if your house is big enough and you use the highest setting you are expected to refill it at least once. This last point might be a clear deal-breaker, I'm definitely not a fan of it but overall it's awesome.

[@whidzee]

For the auto empty bins, have you thought about comparing the cost of replacement bags in your scores?

[@Nesformers]

I think that would be a great idea. I think both cost of ownership over time and plain cost are way under weighted in his scoring method, though this is still very valuable and interesting information.

[@ddvffcescfe2368]

Overall I think this is just a shame that manufacturers made them with bags again.. Like, there is no point in stepping back like that. I get it, that there has to be higher suction force to empty the whole trash of robot but there are better and most importantly greener solutions for no-bag vacuum cleaners and so the emptying bin in the station should be made that way. What's the point in having green no-bag vacuum cleaner when you still have to buy the bags for it's station anyway

[@whidzee]

@@ddvffcescfe2368 reoccurring revenue for the manufacturers. It's a way of locking you into a subscription of sorts. if it's a bagless machine then they get only 1 purchase from you, but if it requires their uinique bag then every few months you're coming back to spend more money with them.

[@MustachioFurioso9134]

The Shark is the only bagless one so far

[@SirZzz]

@Dyanosis but your argument has even less merit, because there is a massive difference in emptying a bag every run vs emptying it every 60 days. Maybe someone else buys you free bags, but for most of us, we have to pay for them, so of course we prefer the non-subscription model. As for "either way, you are in need of a bag", again, check the costs of the specialty bag vs your standard "500 for 14.99" garbage bags. Finally, one of these manufacturers has a a bagless HEPA solution so it is clearly possible to do.

[@michaelB_64]

Can we see the “Top 10 - Overall” without review ratings added to the scoring system? Sometimes you can’t trust reviews due to bots and paid users especially being in Canada Amazon reviews can't always be trusted because most of the time, products that are “really good” have little to no reviews. Yet still, some products that don't steep to the “really good” products have impressive review ratings. Also, I love to see raw data showing performance, not some people “knowing” if the product is good or not.

[@curtisbme]

You also have products that get cult-like reviews like wyze along with all those questionable reviews. Customer reviews should be an addendum to the score but shouldn't have an impact on the objective data he has gathered.

[@Cash0991]

Agreed. I was just going to make my own top level comment about this. I watch videos like these BECAUSE I don't trust product reviews. People tend to either leave 5 star or 1 star reviews. You get people that want to leave a good review but click 1 star as well. Or people that are like, "This vacuum doesn't go upstairs by itself. 1 star."

[@jimmymahone5420]

I don't get it ... In the graphic at 5:34, the top 3 are Ecovacs N8 Pro+, Ecovacs T8 AIVI, and Roborock S5 Max. In the text below the video, the top 3 are iRobot Roomba j7+ (No. 10 in the video), Roborock S7+ (No. 8 in the video), and Ecovacs Deebot N8 Pro+ (No. 1 in the video). What's this about?

[@swisscheese911]

bro... I was not expecting all this data. THANK You!

[@VacuumWars]

Awesome! thank you for watching!

[@riyadh1121]

Fantastic comparison. Quick question what’s the best of all time for mapping?

[@RubenKelevra]

How a robot vaccum can be integrated in home automation systems like Home Assistant is pretty important. I like my robot to notice that nobody is home and also count the amount of door opening or uses of the kitchen to determine if it's necessary to vacuum the hallway or mop the kitchen. That's what makes a vacuum robot great, and if it's not available it is a huge bummer.

[@nibsvids7770]

Can't imagine buying anything that doesn't integrate (or can be hacked) to be in home assistant these days tbh. Companies are stupid if they think we will have a separate app for each brand...also we don't need their cloud, consumers are getting smarter. Local ZigBee control thanks 👍

[@RubenKelevra]

Thank you great video. I just ordered the J7+ to replace our Neato D7. I would agree with your J7+ video that it's the best model right now. I am a smartthings user however I am disappointed with the design of the new Samsung bots and they're not released here in the UK yet. Another cool thing is the J7+ will take a bigger battery which are available on amazon.
