Our MOVA P70 Pro Ultra review finds the strongest P-Series robot we’ve tested, with top-tier obstacle avoidance and excellent hard-floor performance—but important limitations for pet owners and larger homes.
The Eureka E20 Evo Plus is an entry-level robot vacuum and mop combo with several features that set it apart from others in this segment. We bought one ourselves and put it through our full series of evaluations to see how well those features come together.
The ILIFE V2 is the cheapest robot vacuum we’ve ever evaluated. It has a list price of just under $100 and occasionally goes on sale below that, which raises a simple question: How much cleaning can an ultra-budget robot vacuum really do? So we bought one with our money and put it through evaluations over several weeks.
The Shark PowerDetect Transformer is an excellent premium upright with a genuinely unusual three-in-one design. But its stick and handheld modes introduce compromises, and two more accessible Shark alternatives are easier to recommend.

We bought the robot vacuum ourselves and put it through several evaluations over the last few weeks to see how it holds up. In our Dreame D30 Ultra review, you’ll discover the pros and cons of this value-oriented model, including its vacuuming, mopping, navigation, battery life, obstacle avoidance, dock automation, and pet hair performance.
The Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean & Empty is a newer cordless vacuum similar to the flagship Clean & Empty, but with a few key differences, all of which we cover in this full review. As usual, we bought this cordless vacuum with our own money and put it through a series of evaluations to see how well it held up against the flagship PowerDetect. We found that there were some clear advantages to the lighter design, along with a few trade-offs.
