CONTRA
The X11 shows weaknesses on high-pile carpets as well as in corners and around edges. Overall, it is a well-equipped household helper for users with a focus on smooth floors and sustainability, although the RRP of around 1,300 euros is rather high. With the Narwal Flow, the manufacturer shows that there are still real innovations in the vacuum-mop segment. The mop roller instead of classic mop pads is particularly impressive in everyday use for stubborn dirt and edge cleaning. The strong suction power, automatic carpet detection and excellent obstacle detection via twin camera also underline the premium claim.
PRO
CONTRA
Click here for the detailed test report! There is some criticism regarding corner cleaning when vacuuming and mopping as well as long-pile carpets that can be moistened by the mopping roller. Apart from that, the Narwal Flow has hardly any weaknesses. If you are prepared to invest more, you get an almost fully automatic, modern cleaning system that can easily keep up with the established top models. The SwitchBot S20 wants to attack the upper mid-range, but shows clear weaknesses. With a suction power of 10,000 pascals, it lags behind the competition: good on hard floors, rather weak on carpets – especially long pile. Corner cleaning also suffers as the side brush cannot be extended. The RevoRoll mopping system cleans evenly, but reaches its limits in peripheral areas.
PRO
CONTRA
The LiDAR and dToF navigation works reliably, while the AI-supported obstacle detection is disappointing. The stable, feature-rich app, Matter support and the MultiClean station with powerful suction and hot air drying are positive features – hot water is missing, however, as are larger water tanks. Overall, the SwitchBot S20 is a solid robot vacuum, but it does have some clear weaknesses. The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete is a powerful all-in-one robot vacuum cleaner with very good suction power and an effective mopping roller. It tackles stubborn stains, hair and even carpets at flagship level. Navigation and obstacle detection work precisely and are continuously improving, while the app offers extensive setting options.
PRO
CONTRA A big plus is the fully automatic all-in-one station, which takes care of cleaning, drying and supply and greatly reduces maintenance work. The Z60 shows minor weaknesses when cleaning edges and due to its comparatively high design. Overall, it impresses with a strong overall package and a good price-performance ratio. Most robot hoovers nowadays come with a practical cleaning station. However, models that appeal to a different target group also appear on the market from time to time. These will be covered in this section. The Eufy E20 is a sophisticated 3-in-1 appliance that combines a robot vacuum cleaner, handheld vacuum cleaner and cordless stick vacuum cleaner. Its high flexibility, high-quality workmanship and compact suction station make it versatile and space-saving. The cleaning performance is good on hard floors, while carpets are somewhat weaker in robot mode. In manual and stick vacuum cleaner mode, however, the E20 impresses with up to 30,000 pascals of suction power.
PRO
CONTRA
The app is clearly laid out, but offers no additional functions such as battery status indicators in hand and stick mode. The robot’s obstacle detection is also only solid and there is no mopping function. Overall, the Eufy E20 is an innovative all-rounder for households with different cleaning requirements that delivers a strong and flexible overall package despite its minor weaknesses. The SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo combines a compact mini robot hoover with a cordless vacuum cleaner and is primarily aimed at smaller households with angled floor plans. Thanks to its small size, the robot also cleans hard-to-reach corners effectively. The navigation is solid and the app offers many options including Matter support. The suction station, which charges and empties both the robot and the cordless vacuum cleaner, is particularly practical.
PRO
CONTRA
The cordless vacuum cleaner is versatile and easy to use, but its suction performance on carpets is rather average. The mopping function is only rudimentary. Overall, the K10+ Pro Combo is a space-saving and flexible solution, while performance-oriented users are better off with other models. The SwitchBot K11+ is a compact and powerful robot vacuum cleaner that is particularly impressive in small apartments. Thanks to its space-saving dock, maneuverable design and suction station, it requires little maintenance. Its strengths lie in its compact form factor, good suction power on hard floors, reliable navigation and app and smart home integration. PRO CONTRA The K11+ shows weaknesses in the barely relevant mop function, the weaker carpet cleaning and the unreliable obstacle detection. Overall, it is nevertheless a good choice for users of small apartments who are looking for an unobtrusive, easy-to-use robot vacuum with solid suction power. A high suction power is essential for a robot vacuum. This is especially the case if you frequently have to vacuum carpets. Only with sufficient Pascal can dust and dirt be removed from deep-lying fibers. Particularly powerful models are: A mopping function has now also arrived in the inexpensive mid-range of robotic vacuum cleaners. However, not all mopping is the same. In fact, manufacturers rely on different technologies. If you want really powerful mopping performance, it is best to opt for a model with a mopping roller in 2026. Particularly recommended models in the area of mopping performance are Vacuum robots should clean the home independently and fully automatically. Ideally when you’re not at home. However, to prevent the smart household helper from eating socks, Lego bricks or cables, reliable obstacle detection is essential. Current top models rely on a combination of a 3D camera system and subsequent AI evaluation. The best models from our test lab are: An all-in-one cleaning station is now commonplace in the upper mid-range and flagship robot vacuum cleaner segment. However, there can be significant differences between the individual models in this respect. Especially when it comes to the range of functions, high-priced top models are usually far ahead. If you are looking for a powerful cleaning station, you should take a look at the following models: The rule of thumb when buying robotic vacuum cleaners is: the more expensive the smart household helper, the more extensive the features. However, when it comes to basic functions, mid-range models are increasingly on a par with the flagships. However, there are major differences within the functions. Demanding users should pay particular attention to the features when it comes to navigation, mopping function and suction power. Various mopping techniques have been developed in the history of robotic vacuum cleaners: Mop pad, mop mops and mop roller. The first robotic vacuum cleaners with a mopping function relied on a rigid mopping pad that was mounted on the underside and wiped the floor with a damp cloth. Unfortunately, this system does not work evenly and spreads the dirt rather than picking it up. However, the Roborock Saros 10 (Review | € 799.00 *) makes it clear that this technology can still work well today. However, the manufacturer has also developed the wiping surface extensively. It vibrates, exerts pressure on the floor and is cleaned in the cleaning station in between. This technology can be found in most robotic vacuum cleaners with a mopping function today. Here, two circular damp sponges rotate. However, there are significant differences between the models. For example, high-quality models can extend a mop to ensure better edge cleaning. In addition, many appliances can lift the mop pads to keep carpets dry. Top models now also work with strong pressure on the floor and mop with warm water, which is particularly important for stubborn stains. Current flagship models increasingly rely on a mopping roller, which we know from vacuum cleaners. This roller rotates and exerts pressure on the floor. On top of this, it is constantly moistened with fresh water through several nozzles during the cleaning process. The big advantage over the other two methods is the wiping of the mopping roller. This means that the collected dirt is picked up directly by the internal dirty water tank and not spread around the room. These models can also pick up even small puddles. However, they usually have poorer edge cleaning compared to models with mop pads. That depends on the model. Robots with high suction power and rotating brushes can often also clean high-pile carpets, but they are less efficient than on hard floors. Robot vacuum cleaners without a suction station are much more complex to maintain. Here you have to empty the robot’s internal dust container up to twice a week during daily cleaning trips. With a suction station, the robot hoover takes care of this itself. Here, you only have to insert a new dust bag every 90 to 120 days (depending on the model). Some robotic vacuum cleaners such as the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone (Review | € 936.14 *) now also rely on suction stations without dust bags, which prevents follow-up costs. In the past, robotic vacuum cleaners were only started and stopped on the appliance itself. As most models nowadays have an active internet connection, they also rely on an app connection. Accordingly, they also offer practical app operation. This not only ensures uncomplicated setup, but also makes it easier to maintain the robot. Thanks to app control, you can also conveniently control the robot hoover remotely while on the move. There are sometimes big differences between the main brushes of robotic vacuum cleaners. The shape and design of the main brush are particularly important if you have pets at home that like to shed hair. In cheap models with an inferior main brush, hair can get tangled up, which limits further suction power. To counteract this problem, use models with anti-tangling technology. Manufacturers use special designs, specific materials or small combs to prevent hair from getting tangled in the first place. Reliable navigation is the be-all and end-all when it comes to letting the robot vacuum drive through the home with a good gut feeling. Nowadays, most models rely on LiDAR technology. Here, the robot measures the distances between the laser beams emitted and walls, furniture and other obstacles in order to find its way around. The system also creates a detailed map, which can then be viewed in the app. Robot vacuum cleaners with a mopping function work noticeably more effectively if detergent is used when mopping. While you have to add the cleaning solution to the fresh water yourself with older models, robotic vacuum cleaners with an all-in-one station including automatic detergent dosing take care of this themselves. Above all, this ensures a high level of user convenience. If you want to save money, you should make sure that you can fill the corresponding cartridge yourself. After all, the manufacturers’ cleaners are usually quite expensive. A multi-station, cleaning station or all-in-one station not only vacuums the dust container of the robot vacuum. Such models also offer other practical functions. In addition to mop cleaning including subsequent drying, higher-priced robot hoovers also offer features such as UV disinfection or the automatic addition of cleaning agents. Roborock used to be the undisputed leader in the field of robot vacuum cleaners. In the meantime, however, Dreame has not only been able to close the gap, but is now on a par with the former robot vacuum king. Some even believe that Dreame has now taken the throne. We believe that both manufacturers regularly bring innovative and convenient models onto the market. In the end, it all comes down to personal taste.
