If you hate household chores, robot vacuums can be a lifesaver. They eliminate the need to lug heavy vacuums around, reach dust and debris under couches and other furniture, and keep track of which areas have already been cleaned.

The only thing better than a robot vacuum is a multi-room mapping robot vacuum. These devices create a single map featuring all of your rooms, so the robot always knows where it is and how much of the job is remaining.

Here are the best multi-room robot vacuums available today.

The Roborock S6 MaxV Robot Vacuum is an excellent option for multi-level homes that can vacuum and mop. The intense suction capabilities (2,500Pa of suction power) help it clean deep inside the carpet fibers and remove dirt from cracks in the floor. When it cleans a vast room, the robot vacuum will calculate how much power is needed to finish the job and then recharge that amount.

Using dual-cameras, reactive AI, and infrared imaging to see in the dark, the Roborock S6 MaxV avoids obstacles and allows you to create no-go and no-mop zones. In fact, for each floor, you can make 10 no-go zones, 10 no-mop zones, and 10 invisible barriers. The adaptive routing algorithm learns the shape of each mapped room and uses the most efficient cleaning route.

You can schedule when the robot vacuum operates and schedule individual rooms to be cleaned at different times. The robot vacuum can be used with the Roborock app and also Alexa or Google Assistant. When you're away from home, the Roborock app lets you see what the robot vacuum sees so that you can check on your pets.

The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 is a dual-function robot vacuum and mop. The multi-room device can quickly switch between the two flooring types as well. The carpet detection technology ensures that it avoids carpet when in mopping mode.

However, when it switches to vacuuming mode, the robotic household device doubles the suction. Using TrueMapping, the Ecovac app generates accurate maps of the floors to ensure cleaning is precise. The TrueDetect 3D feature helps the robot vacuum detect objects on the floor, like shoes and cables, and then avoid them.

When the battery is low, the robot vacuum will automatically return to the charging dock. Once charged, it'll pick up where it left off. You can also schedule a time to clean your home. The robot vacuum can also be controlled via voice commands to Alexa or Google Assistant.

The Roborock S6 Pure Robot Vacuum is less expensive than the Roborock S6 MaxV Robot Vacuum, but it still offers multi-floor mapping and the dual-function vacuum and mopping. Likewise, it comes with the same 2,500Pa of suction and can clean for up to three hours on a single charge.

The robot vacuum can be used with the Roborock app and also Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use selective room cleaning, create custom room sequencing, and create multiple no-go zones, no map zones, and invisible walls. It will also calculate how much power is needed to finish the job and then recharge only that amount.

That said, the S6 Pure differs from the more expensive S6 MaxV in a few crucial ways. For instance, the water tank is also much smaller at just 180ml instead of 480ml. This model does not use dual cameras, which means, among other things, you can’t use the app to see what your pets are doing when you’re away from home.

FAQ

Q: Why Would I Need a Multi-Room Mapping Feature?

Robot vacuums with a multi-room mapping feature clean more accurately, and this means that they also clean quicker and more efficiently.

A standard robot vacuum rambles around your home, retracing the same paths and missing certain parts. However, mapping technology creates a map of your home, so it knows exactly where to go.

As a result, the robot vacuum can finish cleaning faster. A multi-room mapping vacuum can remember the map for several rooms, so you don’t have to keep creating them.

Q: How Do Multi-Room Vacuums Use Scheduling?

Another feature of multi-room mapping vacuums is that you can schedule the rooms to be cleaned at different times. For example, if no one uses your guest room, you may choose to clean it less often.

On the other hand, you may wish to clean up the kitchen each day. Multi-room mapping vacuums can store the map for each room and operate to your specified schedule.

Q: What Are the Different Suction Power Levels?

Most multi-level robot vacuums have several suction power levels. As a general rule, 600Pa is considered quiet, and 1,000Pa is standard. A power suction of 1,500Pa is reasonably powerful. Then, between 2,200Pa and 2,500Pa is deemed to be high-end.

These section power levels are important because they determine how well the robot vacuums suck up dirt and debris. It’s also essential to note that when companies talk about how long the battery will last, they’re usually basing it on one of the lowest settings. At the maximum power level, the battery will often drain much faster.
