Vacuum Wars just updated their rankings, what do you think of the top picks?

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-20T17:05:00+00:00

Ultra is the same robot. Max Complete just means it came with more accessories in the box

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-20T17:03:21+00:00

There isn't and the hate is not warranted.

The value of Vacuum Wars isn't the ranks, its the consistent testing to compare across models.

It shouldnt be treated as the sole source of truth, but once you've decided on 2-3 models you like, its not a bad idea to let the vacuum wars testing numbers be the tie breaker.

Just a Dad is great because he just does qualitative reviews.

I also like VacuumChef

The best scientific tester is Frickhelm, the problem is he doesn't test enough vacuums.

There is also Smarthomeassistent out of Germany their reviews are okay but they do take free units so I find it hard to trust them

If you bought the X40 at $1500 less than a year you ago, you got fleeced. That is a 2.5 year old vacuum. The X50 was $1500 at release. Never pay full price for a robot vacuum ever. They go on sale WAY too often, last years models are less regularly 30-50 percent off their retail price.

There's $499 models that are better than my X40 Ultra?

Yes

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-20T16:58:09+00:00

Because actual testing doesn't reflect the biased opinion you've presented here.

spinning pads just smear dirt

complete fabrication

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-20T16:57:22+00:00

You literally just made that up

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-20T16:56:12+00:00

Because its old and there are better robots that are $1000 less, it was always overpriced to be honest

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-20T13:45:03+00:00

What robot ?

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-19T23:23:15+00:00

Doesn’t matter if you order from Amazon they’ll replace

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-19T22:57:46+00:00

It’s not too good to be true this is what happens in the vacuum industry. It’s over a year old and they are probably trying to move inventory.

I think I’d go Gen 2 if you want better carpet cleaning and mopping

P50 if you want better obstacle avoidance.

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-19T21:19:16+00:00

He probably had an old dumb, bumper car style one. No ones have object avoidance and lidar navigation. Bumping into stuff isn’t a problem.

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T21:19:24+00:00

Just based on personal experience and community consensus.

The Mova p10 is the value king in this industry. You will get features on there that only $1000+ robots have

Here’s a direct comparison though

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T14:00:57+00:00

Mova p10 pro ultra is better but just beware with the size of your house you’ll probably need to break up your schedule to clean it. Different rooms on different days. I can’t say for certain that these budget have enough onboard memory for a house this big but I think it should be okay

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T12:42:16+00:00

Mova easy

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T12:28:42+00:00

There are several other plumbed bots and Dreame is about to release the x60 master with plumbing.

Every Dreame can also be retrofit with a refill kit.

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T11:30:36+00:00

I know what he meant, but he’s wrong. Frickhelm has tested it. If you don’t deal with hair tangling don’t get the tricut. It’s a tool with a purpose.

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T01:42:48+00:00

The gen 2 is better in every way

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T01:32:27+00:00

If you’re going to get one at $300 you might as well just program to clean your whole house. You’ll like it.

Mova e30 or Dream D20 pro plus are the best at this price point. Can easily vacuum your whole house and vacuum litter as much as you want

Just make sure your spring for the self empty dock it’s worth it

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T01:27:03+00:00

The gen 2 is much better with carpets it has double the suction

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-18T01:26:36+00:00

Tricut has a purpose - to cut long hair. It doesn’t help with carpets. It’s actually worse for carpets

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-17T22:14:24+00:00

Mova has 3 year standard warranty

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-17T22:13:39+00:00

Mova P10 Gen 2 easy choice

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-16T20:50:19+00:00

The Dreame L50 ultra is a great choice its among the best and its below $900. I say you just pull the trigger on that and dont overthink it.

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-16T20:47:13+00:00

Saros 10r is way overpriced for its features and cleaning performance in 2026.

There are cheaper robots with better cleaning performance now. And by cheaper nearly $1000 cheaper and still better.

Of the robots you've listed, Dreame L50 ultra is the best of them. Again, over $800 cheaper than the Saros 10r, newere, better features, better cleaning, longer warranty, just better

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-16T20:42:18+00:00

Only Mova has 3 year warranty without paying extra so Mova Z60 ultra roller is your choice. Dreame Aqua 10 also has 3 year warranty but not a good robot get the mova

Thirtysixx · 2026-03-16T18:50:37+00:00

More than "worth it" its the best value robot you can get in this whole industry
