While a Roomba won't do the dishes for you (although it can DJ your next dinner party) and a Bissel won't take out the trash, they certainly will keep your floors looking squeaky clean at the click of a button. It's time to retire your favorite mop & broom to the closet, tell your hi-tech vacuum you'll see them next winter, and let your self-operating vac kiss the ground you walk on while you’re out enjoying the summer sun — or kicking it on the couch. Ahead, find the best of the best robot vacuums that reviewers swear by as worthy of buying.

IonVac SmartClean 2000 Robovac
Best Robot Vacuum For: Carpet
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 1268 ratings on Walmart
Clean Floor Friends Say: "Oh my gosh. What don't I love about this little helper! I am a busy mom of two messy little girls. I can go about my day and have clean floors. And the best part it also collects all the dust bunnies I had under my bed that I couldn't reach with my broom. Suction is amazing. It goes over my exercise mat for my machine. And my area rugs. It does have a hard time finding its charging station when I tell it to go back to charge. I love that I can control the vacuum from work. And have the floors cleaned by the time I get home. A busy mom's dream!"

iRobot Roomba 670 Robot Vacuum
Best Robot Vacuum For: Hardwood Floors
The Hype: 4.2 out of 5 stars and 1,410 ratings on Walmart
Clean Floor Friends Say: "This is a game-changer for those with pet hair problems. I have three animals and all hardwood floors so even sweeping every day wasn’t enough to keep the hair under control. I was able to set this little robot up and get it charging within ten minutes of opening the box. I used the app to set a cleaning schedule and the very next morning it got to it. It was fun to listen to the little guy zooming around bumping into things while he learned the layout and I could see a difference in the amount of stuff on the floor after the first day. It has been a week now, and it’s like I’ve always had pristine floors. I have also noticed a decrease in the amount of dust that settles on the furniture so there are direct AND indirect benefits from this purchase. 5 stars, no regrets, 100% would buy again."

OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800
Best Affordable Robot Vacuum
The Hype: 4.5 out 5 stars and 1,889 ratings on Amazon
Clean Floor Friends Say: "Unit comes in excellent packaging, remote, easy to follow instructions and an extra HEPA filter. The unit will transition from hardwood to carpet with ease. I have tested this on a landing of my stairs to test that it wouldn't fall off the steps. Works as it should. Every time it runs it finds dirt and it is shocking. I will be providing feedback about the App that controls the unit. Nothing is preventing it from working but future enhancements to make the product better. Overall great product with potential!"

Goovi 2000Pa Robotic Vacuum Cleaner (Slim) Max Suction
Best Robot Vacuum For: Quiet
The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 5,079 ratings on Amazon
Clean Floor Friends Say: "Just amazing! I don’t know how lived before without this little guy. I was skeptical because this one does not have WiFi control, but that control is not needed at all! GOOVI comes with a remote and you have all settings there, plus you can schedule cleaning for any time during the day (while you are at work for example). What I love the most about this little vacuum cleaner is how quiet it is, compared to other much more expensive robot vacuum cleaners, and my pets are not scared at all. My cat would just sit calmly while GOOVI is vacuuming around."

Ecovacs DEEBOT 711 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with App
Best Robot Vacuum For: Pet Hair
The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 34 ratings on Walmart
Clean Floor Friends Say: "I bought my Deebot a couple of months ago and it has been a complete lifesaver for my house. We have four pets so sweeping and vacuuming daily was getting overwhelming. Our favorite plumber was over and recommended the Deebot so I thought I'd try it out. Now I only vacuum the carpet once a week. It has literally saved hours to relax. Great purchase."

iRobot Braava Jet 240 Robot Mop
Best Robot Vacuum For: Mopping
The Hype: 4. out of 5 stars and 794 rating on Target
Clean Floor Friends Say: "Use this to clean my one-bedroom apartment after it's vacuumed. Would recommend upgrading to the higher model if you mop often or with bigger areas, but works great for my lifestyle for the price."

Bissell SpinWave Hard Floor Expert Wet and Dry Robot Vacuum
Best Robot Vacuum For: Dry And Wet Cleaning
The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars and 1,581 ratings on Amazon
Clean Floor Friends Say: "This is my first time using a robot type vacuum. I loved how easy this was to set up and it’s also so easy to switch from dry cleaning to wet cleaning! I was impressed by how much “debris” the SpinWave picked up while in wet mode."

Ecovacs DEEBOT N79W Multi-Surface Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Best Robot Vacuum For: Multi-Surfaces
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 1,377 ratings on Target
Clean Floor Friends Say: "Well I haven’t vacuumed since I bought the thing, I’ve got a dog who sheds like crazy and it does a great job at cleaning! It doesn’t map the house so it does just randomly go around, but the edge setting seems to do a really good job at making sure it’s not just hitting the middle of the floors! It charges itself when the battery gets low, although, sometimes he has a bit of trouble finding it but he does eventually get there and I’ve yet to have to 'force' him home."

ILIFE V5s Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop 2-in-1 Cleaner
Best Robot Vacuum For: Style And Pet-friendly Features
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 187 ratings on Walmart
Clean Floor Friends Say: "I got this for the wet mop feature and to do a quick vacuum beforehand. I am almost thrilled. It is quieter than a Roomba, slightly smaller, and not so scary looking for the dog. Very pleasant little thing."

Yeedi k700 Robot Vacuum
Best Robot Vacuum For: Easy Set-up
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 2,334 ratings on Amazon
Clean Floor Friends Say: "This Yeedi was very easy to set up. I ran it a few times over the weekend to give it a good test. It didn't have any problems finding the base station location and I love when it tells you that it is charging when it gets to the dock station. The instructions and suggestions are easy to follow."

Tesvor Robotic Vacuum and Mop Cleaner
Best Robot Vacuum For: Dust
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 735 ratings on Amazon
Clean Floor Friends Say: "Excellent machine, keeps my floor clean and dust-free. It gives me more time to do other stuff while the robot vacuums the floor or cleans it in mop mode. Of course, the mop mode won't clean as well as a good old real mop, but it helps to reduce the number of times you have to pass the mop yourself. It's a must-buy and I can't imagine myself without it!"
