It will also leave clean. Its low cost and top-of-the-line features (such as dirt detection) are a plus. Examine your robot's brush frequently for tangled debris and hair. Wash them if needed. Some models also self-empty their onboard dust bin into a larger bin in the base, which decreases the amount of fine dust that is released into the air. 1. Roomba Q5 Pro The Q5 Pro and its sibling, the more expensive Q7 Max Series, are among the most powerful robot vacuums we've tested. They are equipped with top-of-the-line motors which can pull up to 5,500 Pascals of suction force. Like other iRobots with premium features (including the top model), they use smart mapping to create detailed floorplans that avoid obstacles like cords and furniture legs. They also have carpet boost that boosts the robot's performance when it spots the presence of dirt on the carpet to get it cleaned up quickly. Both the Q5 as well as the Q7 Max Series get very good scores in our floor tests that test for bare floors, and they're particularly adept in cleaning pet hair. There are some issues, however, that prevent them from being our first option. One of the Q5's shortcomings is that its navigation system doesn't feature AI-powered obstacles avoidance. It's thus susceptible to get stuck on shoes and socks and couldn't navigate rooms with lots of people efficiently during our tests. It also doesn't have a camera that would let it see the corners of an area. It's still a great option for those who want to save money on a Roomba from iRobot and have a mostly bare-floor home or office. It's also very quiet and operates while you're at work or in school. It lacks the edge-to-edge bare floor vacuuming feature that's available in the more expensive iRobot Roomba X
