Best Robot Vacuum Cleaners in India (September 2022) – Geekman

The first robot vacuum cleaner on our list is from iRobot, an American brand well known for its consumer robots. This robot cleaner is one of the most refined robotic vacuum cleaners on the market, which can go on for weeks without needing to be taken care of. This robot comes in two variants, with the significant difference being the self-emptying feature which you can only get with the i7+ variant that includes the dock called the “Clean Base.” You can choose the i7 variant if you are okay with cleaning it yourself, or you can go with the i7+ variant, which will self-empty itself into small bags.

Apart from that, the i7 and i7+ also have a few design changes to facilitate the self-cleaning feature. The cleaning dock with the i7+ also acts as a stand for your cleaning robot, allowing it to charge itself when it is not being used. This robot vacuum cleaner can clean your whole house without any human involvement, which is quite impressive. It has an intelligent mapping feature that maps your entire home, and then you can select which rooms are to be cleaned and which are to be omitted, which is a pretty awesome feature. You get options to choose boundaries inside rooms, so the robot doesn’t sneak into parts it is not supposed to be in. Another good part is that it picks almost all sizes of debris without any issues. You also get the option to connect it with Alexa, which means you can get your house cleaned with a single voice command.

Of course, every coin has two faces, and just like that, the i7 also has some disadvantages, which obviously start with its expensive pricing. The iRobot Roomba i7+ is currently available at a little less than Rs. 60,000; meanwhile, the i7 costs close to Rs. 45,000, which is quite a hefty price. Also, the maintenance costs a lot as the parts wear out after regular usage and need replacement after a few months.

Moving on to our next build on our list, we have the Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P, a robotic vacuum cleaner and a robotic mop that can intelligently mop your floor and costs almost half the price of the iRobot Roomba. This robotic vacuum cleaner comes with a 3200 mAh battery pack, which can power it up for about 130 minutes and is enough to cover a medium-sized house easily. The app is compatible with the Mi Home app, which allows it to be fully controlled by the app. You can set up scheduled cleaning, restricted zones, and selective cleaning. 

One of the most exciting features of this robot is automatic recharging and resuming to clean from where it is left over. How this works is that you can set up a charging dock for the robot, and as soon as the robot runs out of juice, it will automatically reach out to the charging dock and connect itself, which is quite impressive. It will also resume its work from where it left if it gets low in the middle of its cleaning. You can save up to 10 maps in the memory, which is more than enough for most houses. The robot houses 12 high-precision sensors and has a powerful suction capability which allows it easily take care of most of the cleaning without any human intervention. 

The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P usually costs around Rs. 25,000, but you can get it for a little less during sales. It is one of the best robotic vacuum cleaners in its price range. Of course, it is not as good as the iRobot Roomba i7+, but it is way more affordable and value for money.

The Roomba i3+ is our next choice on the list of best Robot Vacuum Cleaners, which is quite similar to the Roomba i7+, and one might be easily confused among them. But when you hear the pricing, it indeed gets more interesting. The i3+ costs around Rs. 50,000, which is Rs. 10,000 less than the i7+. Yes, you also get the same plus variant, enabling the same self-emptying and charging features just like the i7+. But what’s the difference, you may ask, so let’s start with the major one. The first significant difference would be that the i7 uses a camera to map your whole house, whereas the i3 relies on a sensor mounted at the robot’s bottom. Having a camera mounted on the top allows the i7 to have a more detailed look around your house and better mapping than the i3.

The i3 can also be controlled via the smartphone app and is compatible with Alexa but what it lacks is that you cannot give commands to clean out a specific room, nor can you block out parts of your room which were quite some handy features of the i7+. Of course, you can still ask the Roomba i3 to clean your house, and it would clean just like the i7 would, but you would need to take care of the parts you don’t want the robot to go, which could be a bit inconvenient for some. I would personally suggest going with the i7+ if your budget allows it. The Roomba i3+ would be a good option for those who don’t have pets or a complex house with no places where the bot could get stuck and damage itself.

The next robot cleaner on our list would be from the Ecovacs and has two variants, N8+ and N8 Pro+. Like the iRobot Roomba, the Plus on the N8 and N8 Pro stand for the additional cleaning dock, which facilitates self-cleaning. Both the robots are pretty similar in features and do both the jobs of cleaning and mopping your floors. They have a few different sensors that will make a difference in their way of working. You get a LiDAR sensor mounted on both robots to map your house. The difference lies in the front bumper, which on the N8 has an infrared anti-collision sensor; meanwhile, the N8 Pro features 3D sensors, which gives it an upper hand in detecting and dodging obstacles. 

You will get a dedicated app to control both robots, which work similarly. This app lets you connect the robots to your WiFi network and enables Google Assistant or Alexa support. The cleaning station allows the robots to empty themselves and recharge for the next cleaning. A good feature is that the robots will automatically return to charge themselves when they have done the job or if they have no power to continue further cleaning. The nice part is that they will charge themselves enough to complete the left cleaning instead of charging themselves fully, which saves a lot of time. 

The N8+ and N8 Pro+ are pretty good choices and have impressive features like prioritizing rooms per the requirement and setting no-go zones. The N8 Pro has a slight advantage over N8 as it smartly dodges obstacles in its path, but If you are okay with your robot bumping into some of your things, you can save a few thousand and go with the N8+ variant.

The following robot vacuum cleaner is the ILife V5s Pro, one of the budget-friendly cleaners we have on our list. It is a 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner with cleaning and mopping capabilities. This robot cleaner usually costs around Rs. 15,000 in the Indian Market, but you will also see it with some discounts in sales. One of the best things is that it has one of the highest suction power in its price segment, which makes it a clear winner in terms of vacuuming power. It also has a suction-only port, which means no extra brushes where the animal or human hairs can get tangled. 

The motor is quite strong, but it still manages to be quite unlike some other budget vacuum cleaners that are super noisy. It can work for about 110 minutes non-stop and automatically returns to the charging dock if it gets low. As mentioned above, the V5s Pro is also a mop, and it does quite an impressive job of mopping the floor. It randomly navigates in your room by bouncing off the corners and still manages to cover your whole room. The V5s Pro does a good job cleaning up the floor, but when it comes to cleaning the carpets, it could be a disappointment. Well, you cannot expect all at this price point, so if your house is not filled with lots of carpets that need regular cleaning, the V5s Pro could be an option worth considering. 

The Eureka Forbes Robo Vac N Mop is our next choice on the list of best robot vacuum cleaners, which is a 3-in-in vacuum cleaner with cleaning, mopping, and UV Sanitization capabilities. UV Cleaning is quite an exciting feature that could be handy, especially in times like these. This vacuum cleaner can easily clean most surfaces, including carpets which is a good thing. You can get this cleaner for about Rs. 20,000 in the Indian market. The cleaner comes packed with a remote control that would be used to give commands to the cleaner.

The good thing about the cleaner is that it has multiple modes you can choose from per the type of cleaning required. You can even set scheduled times for cleaning, which means the cleaner will automatically start cleaning your house at the desired hour. The battery on the cleaner can last for about 90 minutes before it automatically docks itself at the charging station. It has a powerful suction capability and does an excellent job cleaning and mopping the floors. The Robo Vac N Mop is a good robotic cleaner that you choose to go with.

We now have another pocket-friendly ECOVAC vacuum cleaner on our list, the ECOVACS DEEBOT 500. This robotic vacuum cleaner costs somewhere around Rs. 10,000 making it one of the most affordable cleaners on our list. Well, it’s not a two-in-one mopping and cleaning solution just like the V5s Pro, but it does offer the same tangle-free cleaning feature, which could be a good point for considering it. It features decent suction power, which allows it to do good enough cleaning of your house.

It can continuously clean for about 120 minutes and self-dock itself to the charger when it gets low. You can just turn it on, and it can self-clean your house by randomly navigating itself. This vacuum cleaner is ideal for cleaning hard surfaces like tiles and floors. Just like the V5s Pro, the cleaning on the carpets is quite a disappointment, but it is justifiable for its price point.

Finally, we have the last vacuum cleaner on our list, which is the Robovac G10 Hybrid vacuum cleaner with Mopping and vacuum cleaning capabilities. This vacuum cleaner is quite affordable and costs around Rs. 12,000 in the Indian Market. The best part about this cleaner is that it comes with Google Assistant and Alexa support, making it easily controllable by your voice commands. You can even control it with your smartphone, which I personally prefer over remote controls. 

The cleaner’s suction is quite good, as per its pricing, and the cleaning it does is pretty impressive. It is a two-in-one cleaner that can clean and mop your floors. It has something called Drop sensing technology, which basically prevents it from accidentally falling off the stairs or higher surfaces. You can easily set scheduled cleaning times from the app, allowing it to clean your house while you take care of your other chores.
