The 5 best iRobot vacuums of 2023

Features: Suitable for pet hair | 10.7 in. cleaning path width | Wi-Fi connection | 40x suction power

The iRobot Roomba s9+ is our pick for the best overall iRobot vacuum. With Imprint Link Technology, this model does not just vacuum; it also features a built-in Braava jet m6 robot mop. It uses the signature 3-Stage Cleaning System to offer 40x the suction power of other models, targeting pet hair lodged in your carpets. The built-in Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal is able to empty itself for up to 60 days, giving you more time to focus on what's most important. You have the ability to control the unit through voice control or the companion app, whichever is more convenient for you.

Features: Built-in Wi-Fi | Alexa connectivity | Self-charging | 90-minute run time 

The iRobot Roomba 694 is one smart cookie. It offers Wi-Fi connectivity and compatibility with Alexa, but that is far from all. This is also an incredibly smart vacuum that uses its iRobot OS to offer custom suggestions based on your home, learning your routines and the ins and outs of your home. The 3-stage Cleaning system is included with a self-charging feature, so you do not have to worry about fussing with the dock; it can find its way home to charge.

Features: 60-day self-empty | Smart mapping | Floor type customization | 4-Stage cleaning system | Obstacle avoidance 

iRobot Roomba Combo J7+ uses iRobot's advanced 4-stage Cleaning System, incorporating mopping into its vacuum features. It is best for hard floors, given its mopping feature, but thanks to its lifting design, it can seamlessly switch over to vacuum mode for carpets. With smart mapping, you can choose which rooms are vacuumed and which ones are mopped, creating a signature schedule precisely for your home. Even better, there's iRobot's Pet Owner Official Promise (P.O.O.P.) to avoid pet waste in your home, or you will receive a free replacement.
