When you shop for a robot vacuum, you wonder how it'll truly perform in the real world. As a robot vacuum reviewer, I've closely watched multiple of these robots navigate my home, getting rid of pet hair, mopping my hard floors, and, on many occasions, getting stuck on the obstacles I set out for them. ZDNET also has a lab where we test these robots. We then compare our test results with the robot's in-home performance to narrow down the best picks for you. Essentially, we do the meticulous work so you don't have to. This means you can trust when we share our top performers, as we don't upsell specific brands or preferences -- it's all based on actual testing and performance.Get more in-depth ZDNET tech coverage: Add us as a preferred Google source on Chrome and Chromium browsers.
