Australia’s best robot vacuums (2025): Reviewed and ranked

Roborock has taken much of the same technology we see in comparably priced robot vacuums, but made improved upon them with the Qrevo Curv. Its Zero-Tangle DuoDivide roller actually stops hair tangles, the edge cleaning is effective not only on flat walls but nudges up against any object in the space, and the object avoidance is near perfect. The Qrevo Curv is the best overall user experience we've seen in a robot vacuum.

Apart from its smarts, the Qrevo Curv has an excellent clearance rate of 99% for small and medium debris on hardwood and carpet. Its only downfall is picking up dander against walls on carpet where it slips down to a 93%, but for the most part it does a great job. 

This robot vacuum is also one of the quietest we've tested, even back at the all-in-one base station. The only feature we aren't sold on is the 4cm threshold clearance. From a tech perspective it is awesome that it can climb stairs (kind of), but practically we didn't find much use for it.

Ecovacs is among the largest robot vacuum cleaner brands in the country, so it make sense that their devices feature on best-of lists across the net. The latest flagship, the X5 Pro Omni is the creme-de-la-creme of robot vacuums, kitted out with self emptying, self cleaning mops, excellent obstacle avoidance, and edge mopping.

We found that the X5 picked up 95% of debris during testing, across all kinds of floor types. Its mopping is a huge step up from most robot vacuums, in part thanks to its reliable mop cleaning throughout the process. Rather than wait until the very end, the X5 will return to the dock and clean its mop pads after every room to make sure you don't spread dirty mop water around.

Object detection and avoidance are crucial for automous robot vacuums, and the Pro Omni does a stellar job. Whether its consistent obstacles like chairs, or last minute ones like a curious puppy, our testing showed the device was able to pivot reliably and effectively.

Ecovacs' X5 Pro Omni will handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

Ecovacs and Aldi have a long standing partnership offering up cheap robot vacuum cleaners at very limited quantities. On March 5th the budget retailer is selling the Deebot Neo 2.0 for just $349 which is quite frankly one of the best robot vacuum cleaner deals in the country.

We reviewed the Neo 2.0 Plus which is the Neo 2.0 but with an auto empty station. While the auto empty station isn't included in the price, the vacuum itself is quite reliable for the price point. You won't get many bells and whistles for this deal, but you will get something you can confidently let roam free and do some basic day-to-day cleaning.

Stock is incredibly limited however, so if you can't snag this deal there are some other cheap robot vacuum picks below that could be worth considering instead.
