The Florio also excelled in our vacuuming performance tests. It navigated and cleaned our two-room obstacle course faster than almost any other model we’ve tested. On bare floors, it impressed us by lifting an average of 96% of debris.
The only thing it had trouble on was kitty litter on carpet, but even its worst score of 83% is solid in the grand scheme of robot vacuums we've tested. Outside of a little more prowess on carpet, the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 is nearly perfect.
Besides, Vactidy Nimble T6 can climb up to 15° which allow it to work from the hardwood to carpet non-stop clean.
✅ You have carpet in your home: We were very impressed with this model's suction powers, which is great news if you need something that can pull dust from carpet.

It has advanced mapping which our top pick overall lacks, so it can record and remember a blueprint of multiple floors of your house after just a few trips; you can then label individual rooms, and tell the s9+ to clean specific rooms on specific days.
Their built-in, app-enabled smarts allow them to find their way out of tight spots and around some obstacles, though that brings up some privacy concerns.
Human hair is embedded into the same section of the test carpet. Technicians time how long it takes for the vacuum to pick up the hair and weigh the amount that’s in the dustbin and the brush roll.
This isn't a cheap bot, and while I think the featureset and performance justify the price, it'll be out of budget for some. We have more affordable options in our roundup of the best robot vacuums for pet hair – although be aware that if you really want something up to the task, you will likely need to spend a bit more.
There's not much this hybrid vacuum misses with an overall 93 cleaning score. It excels in picking up cheerios and cat litter but like our Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners top pick struggled to remove pet hair from the carpet.
❌ You're dealing with high levels of dirt: This robovac doesn't self-empty dust, and while the onboard bin will compress dust so it can hold a surprisingly large amount, you'll still have to empty it more than you would a traditional self-empty model.
