The best robot vacuums of CES 2025 – and 4 others that impressed us
2025 has just begun and is already shaping up to be a great year for robot vacuums. We are seeing unprecedented innovation in this category now Computer electronics exhibition (CES), with futuristic tech hitting store shelves near you this year, including robotic arms and robots that can climb stairs.

As I walked the halls of CES this year, it became clear to me that robot vacuums aren’t what they were five or six years ago. With self-washing and self-dumping robots becoming the norm, the competitive edge has shifted to looking elsewhere for innovation, developing more of the robotic aspects of devices. We tested all of the most innovative robot vacuums at CES this year, and here are our picks for the best.
1. Roborock Saros Z70
The best robot vacuum cleaners at CES 2025
The Roborock Saros Z70 is our pick for the best robot vacuum at CES 2025. This new vacuum and mop robot with a mechanical arm will be available in the first half of this year. The five-axis arm is attached to the robot body and automatically deployed.
During the first sweep, the robot vacuum will clean your floors and record any temporary objects it detects and recognizes on the floor. The Saros Z70 then takes a second step through your floors to deploy a robotic arm to pick up objects and store them in a predetermined location, then clean the spot occupied by that object.

As mentioned above, Roborock Saros Z70 will launch later this year but the price has not been announced yet.
2. Dreame X50 Ultra
The best robot vacuums for high thresholds at CES 2025
The Dreame X50 Ultra is a brand new robot vacuum and mop, a redesign of the previous model, the X40 Ultra. The robot is so unique that it can climb short steps of up to 6cm in total, with new robotic legs helping to lift the robot as it approaches a step it can clear.
The robot vacuum has a new dual roller brush system that directs dirt and debris to one side of the robot’s body, where the nozzle is located. This approach expertly prevents hair from tangling as it slides off the brush and rolls toward one end, rather than staying in the middle of the brush as it tries to enter the nozzle.

The best part? the Dreame X50 UltraIts MSRP is lower than its predecessor, the $1,900 X40 Ultra. The new Dreame X50 Ultra has an MSRP of $1,700, but the early pre-order offer only costs $1,310.
3. Mova V50 Ultra
The best suction power of robot vacuum cleaners at CES 2025
The strongest suction robot vacuum cleaner on the market is from a brand you may have never heard of. After many years of operation in Europe and Asia, Mova is entering the US market with the Mova V50 Ultra vacuum and mop robot with 24,000Pa suction power. This is the strongest suction we’ve seen to date, with the next tier featuring the Roborock Saros Z70 and Eureka J15 Max Ultra, both with 22,000Pa suction power.
The Mova V50 Ultra has a mopping feature with dual rotating mop pads, side brushes and extendable mop pads, and it also has a retractable LiDAR sensor that attaches itself to the robot when it detects the need for cleaning. under furniture.
4. Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni
The best robot vacuum cleaner at CES 2025
Ecovacs’ new X8 Pro Omni is the company’s latest robot vacuum and mop, released with an extendable OZMO roller mop instead of a rotating mop pad. Mopping technology developed by partner Tineco ensures the robot always cleans your floors with clean water instead of dragging dirty pads. The mop is continuously cleaned inside the robot body, with 2 separate compartments containing clean and dirty water.

The X8 Pro Omni, launching this spring, features 18,000Pa suction on the vacuum side, professional navigation capabilities that create real-time 3D maps of the surrounding environment, and AI enhancements to navigate environments complex field.
5. Narwal flow
The best robot vacuums for carpets at CES 2025
The latest Narwal Flow is the company’s new flagship robot vacuum, with a redesigned logo and new technology built into the robot. This robot vacuum and mop also features mop rollers instead of dual rotating mop pads, but its biggest strength lies in its vacuuming ability.
Deep Carpet Boost technology automatically increases suction power when carpet is detected and lowers the roller brush to reach deep into carpet fibers, reaching dirt that other machines may miss.
Honorable mention
- Yeedi S14 Pro: The new Yeedi S14 features the same OZMO roller technology from the Deebot X8 Omni, with TrueEdge 2.0 adaptive cleaning and ZeroTangle 2.0 technology. This vacuuming and mopping robot will be available on the market in March.
- Eureka J15 Max Ultra: This Eureka robot vacuum cleaner is smart enough to detect clear liquid in front of it, turn off the suction, and return to mop up the liquid with a mop pad. It will hit the market in June at a price of $1,299.
- SwitchBot K20+ Pro: This is the best multitasking robot vacuum cleaner at CES 2025. This is a self-vacuuming robot vacuum with an overlay platform that connects to the robot for navigation. The platform works for transporting items around the house, but it also has various ports for connecting cameras and asking robots to monitor your home, for example.
