2nd place — Xiaomi Roborock S6

Perfectly copes with cleaning of carpets and wet cleaning of any smooth surfaces. Moreover, it is able to recognize carpets, increasing the suction power when driving on them. Maximum power — 2000 Pa. The battery capacity allows you to clean up to 2.5 hours or 250 m2. Equipped with lidar — fast and accurate building a map of the room with the possibility of further editing, specifying prohibited areas for cleaning, or assigning zone cleaning within the room. A feature of the model is an upgraded motor and a noise reduction system. In practice, the noise is not much less than that of competitors. Xiaomi decided to stand out in terms of packaging, putting 10 disposable wipes for wet cleaning. In addition to them, there are 2 more reusable microfiber cloths. It is controlled by a smartphone or voice, Global versions are sold in the Russian Federation, so there are no problems with the Russian language. Can be integrated into smart home. The price is 39,000 rubles.

pros

• suction power.
• Autonomy.
• Excellent navigation.
• Convenient control from your smartphone.
• Voice control.
• Integration into Smart Home.
• Disposable wipes for wet cleaning.

Minuses

• Lack of service.

One of the best robotic vacuum cleaners with building a room map. Most buyers recommend the model for purchase. In terms of autonomy, of all the participants in the rating, only Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950 can compete with it, and in terms of suction power, Okami U100.

3rd place — Okami U100

Robot vacuum cleaner with high quality dry and wet cleaning. We thank the Japanese engine for suction power — 2500 Pa, a record figure. Wet cleaning is done with Y-shaped movements (imitation of a mop), which is how it differs from Xiaomi. High power does not greatly cut the autonomy of the model. Batteries with a capacity of 3200 mAh last for 2 hours of cleaning. At the same time, the dust collector with a volume of 0.6 liters. can not be cleaned after each cleaning. Like a competitor from Xiaomi, Okami U100 builds a room map, you can install a virtual wall, set a cleaning schedule, select a specific room for cleaning. The robot is completely Russified and speaks Russian. Another interesting feature is the installation of a UV lamp to disinfect the surface to be cleaned. It is not included in the package, it costs about 3,000 rubles.
In terms of navigation, everything is fine, the mobile lidar copes in the best way, there are no complaints about the accuracy of navigation.

The price is 40,000 rubles, which is comparable to Xiaomi S6.

3 reasons to choose U100

• suction power.
• Cleaning quality.
• Proprietary wet cleaning technology.
• Autonomy.
• The volume of the dust collector.
• Possibility to install a UV lamp.
• Warranty service in the Russian Federation.

Minuses

• No voice control.
• Cannot be integrated into a «smart home».
• Minor software bugs.

The model is highly appreciated by consumers. 82% of Yandex market users recommend it. There are only complaints about the software, which will be solved with the release of updates, on which the IT team of the manufacturer is constantly working. I consider the main competitive advantage to be warranty service on the territory of the Russian Federation, which Chinese analogues do not have.

4th place — 360 S7

Demanded model from the popular online trading platform «AliExpress». First of all, it attracts attention to itself at a price of 32,000 rubles. At the same time, in fact, it turns out that it not only looks similar to the Roborock S50 from Xiaomi, but can also compete with the flagship from a technical point of view. The suction power is 2000 Pa. The built-in battery lasts for 2 hours in standard mode. The model is equipped with all modern sensors, can build and save maps, recognize the surface to be cleaned. Management is carried out from a smartphone and comes down to adjusting the main parameters — suction power, intensity of water supply. Also available is a flexible setting of the cleaning map, scheduling work. Implemented voice control via Alexa, but control does not work in Russian.

In the bottom line, we have a full set of all the necessary functions, lidar, wet cleaning, advanced cartography, and all this for 32,000 rubles.

pros

• Price.
• Functional.
• Autonomy.
• suction power.
• The volume of the dust collector.

Minuses

• There are no spare consumables included.
• Problems with the Russification of the application and voice control.
• Cannot be integrated into a «smart home».

A great solution for those who want to save money on buying a robotic vacuum cleaner. At a relatively low cost, it is equipped with everything that is customary to see in the flagships of other manufacturers. But you need to understand that you will have to sacrifice warranty service, localization and wait for delivery from Allexpress, which is not always convenient.

5th place — iRobot Roomba 981

The model of the mid-price segment from iRobot, the flagships of 100 thousand were deliberately not included in the rating, since those who are ready to pay such an amount will find the i7 and i9 models anyway, but to be honest, there are only a few such buyers. What do we get for 45,000 rubles when buying 981 models? Branded chips like the «anti-tangle» system, it gets tangled in wires less often, but it still gets tangled, it has been tested in practice. A proprietary brush system — a paddle brush sweeps debris from hard-to-reach places, and two main brushes, rotating in opposite directions, provide combing and scraping dirt and debris, with further sending to the dust container. Automatic suction boost on carpets. Huge 1000 ml dust container. And what you don’t expect for 45,000 rubles, only dry cleaning, the robot does not perform wet cleaning.

But the theme of the rating is building a map of the premises. And here she is. The branded application is convenient, it allows you to create a cleaning schedule, designate areas to be cleaned, regulate and control the operation of the vacuum cleaner from any point, in general, everything is exactly the same as that of Xiaomi. But there is a fat minus — this is the camera. iRobot uses a camera that loses to lidar in navigation, there are many tests on YouTube where iRobot loses to its competitors based on lidar. iRobot is 5,000 rubles more expensive than the leaders of the rating, performs only dry cleaning and loses in navigation — these are the main reasons for getting into 5th place.

pros

• Large dustbin.
• Cleaning quality.
• Recognition of particularly soiled areas and carpets with automatic suction boost.
• Not afraid of wires.
• Autonomy.
• Convenient control from your smartphone.
• Certified service centers in the Russian Federation, one year warranty.

Minuses

• Price;
• Dry cleaning only.
• Poor kit.
• The charging station looks cheap compared to the vacuum cleaner.
• The weight of the docking station is small — the vacuum cleaner shifts it during parking.
• Does not drive on dark carpets, recognizes them as a height.

6th place — iClebo O5

The flagship model of the Korean company YUJIN Robot. It stands out for its original form factor, vaguely reminiscent of Hobot 688. Unlike the latter, its body is rounded on all sides. The second external difference from competitors is the presence of a display. On it you can see the time and current information about the status of the vacuum cleaner, the mode of operation when controlled from the remote control. When using a smartphone, all this can be found in the application. The vacuum cleaner is declared by the manufacturer for dry and wet cleaning, but it cannot be called washing. He does not have a water container. A microfiber cloth can be pre-moistened with water. According to the manufacturer, its special structure and increased size allow wet cleaning over a large area without additional moisture and without dirty stains later.

In practice, any of the washing vacuum cleaners presented above cope with wet cleaning better. What iClebo O5 is good at is dry cleaning — high suction power with an increase on carpets and in especially dirty places, 2 side brushes, a large dust box, autonomy up to 2 hours. The operating mode is selected depending on the level of contamination of the room — automatic, maximum or Spot mode — for zone cleaning. Navigation based on SLAM + NST, the main information comes from the camera, which is inferior to lidar.

You can control the vacuum cleaner from the remote control, smartphone or using voice assistants Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Yandex Alice. It is possible to integrate into the «smart home». The price is 40,000 rubles.

pros

• Large dustbin.
• suction power.
• Cleaning quality.
• Recognition of particularly soiled areas and carpets with automatic suction boost.
• Hair and wool are not wound on the brush.
• Autonomy.

Minuses

• Price.
• Wet cleaning is not fully implemented.
• Hitting obstacles.
• There is an error in the construction of the map.

92% of Yandex market users recommend this model for purchase. I join them with two reservations.

1. This vacuum cleaner is overpriced.
2. Not the best option for wet cleaning. Xiaomi Roborock S6 and Okami U100 can handle it much better, while they are cheaper. Well, the best solution for wet cleaning in an apartment without carpets would be Hobot 688.

7th place — Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950

The senior model in the manufacturer’s line, designed for simultaneous dry and wet cleaning on several floors, is the only model in the rating that allows you to build and save a map of rooms at different levels. Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950 is also the undisputed leader of the rating in terms of autonomy — it works without recharging for up to 200 minutes. It is controlled from a smartphone, has flexible settings, a system for limiting cleaning on an already built map, cleaning planning, the ability to clean on demand in a local area. The manufacturer solved the problem of tangling hair, wool on the main brush with the possibility of direct suction. To do this, just remove the brush and start cleaning. At the same time, the brush is better suited for cleaning carpets. The vacuum cleaner recognizes them automatically by going around when wet cleaning and increasing suction power when riding on them. Users have no complaints about the quality of cleaning, as well as the accuracy of building a map. The price is 50,000 rubles.

pros

• Design;
• suction power;
• autonomy;
• Simultaneous dry and wet cleaning;
• Building maps for several floors.
• Recognition of particularly dirty places and carpets with automatic suction power boost;
• Can be used without a turbo brush.

Minuses

• Price;
• The volume of the dust collector.
• The volume of the water container.
• No voice control.
• Cannot be integrated into a «smart home».

In view of the above, it is worth explaining why such a successful model occupies the last seventh position in the ranking:

1. High price. There are worthy competitors more affordable by 15-20% (Xiaomi Roborock, Okami U100)
2. The small volume of the dust container and the water container, given the high suction power and impressive autonomy.
3. The lack of voice control and the ability to integrate into a “smart home”, which is unacceptable for a flagship in 2022, although not critical for most users.

If you are ready to turn a blind eye to these 3 problems, you can buy Ecovacs Deebot ozmo 950, but I recommend paying attention to more affordable models.
By the way, follow the sales, I came across discounts for this model, the price dropped to 42,000 — 43,000 rubles. And for such a price, I can safely recommend this robot vacuum cleaner for purchase.
