Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners - Uma visão geral

All the models on our list also work with your Google Home or Alexa and are app-controlled, so you can set your vacuum to work even when you’re not at home.

This isn’t Dyson’s first robot vacuum cleaner but, because the brand is a relative newcomer to the scene, it lags behind the competition with a higher price tag, fewer features and less adept navigation skills.

Sizeable docking station must go on hard flooring, and sometimes the vacuum took a while to position itself correctly when re-docking

The standout feature on the J20 is an innovative mop pad, set on a roller like the wheels of a tank, which works extremely well. It's very much a premium option, but the performance is excellent.

Though we rated it highly across all of our testing categories, we did note that pet hair clung to the brush attachment. Its dust cup is small, but it empties from the bottom with the click of one button.
