The best robot vacuum cleaners

Description

With the ability to connect to your smart devices, the Neato can be controlled via your phone, smartwatch, Amazon Echo, Google Home and Neato Chatbot for Facebook. The shape allows for deep corner cleaning, and it's packed with all the mod-cons you need, from laser navigation to multi-floor cleaning and automated charging.

Description

Cat and dog owners take heed. Neato has designed a brush combination specifically for the task of collecting up animal hair, in addition to the regular cleaning vacuum duties. This deep cleaning power can be controlled over Wi-Fi with a smart device or via an Amazon Alexa device. You can place virtual no-go lines to make sure that certain areas of your house, like around dog bowls, are not ventured into. The charge is significant too, boasting 120 minutes of cleaning time (and yes, it'll self-charge too).
