This model of the E4 doesn’t mop, but it does suck those floors until they’re sparkling. Its suction power of 2,000 Pa matches that of a few high-end Roombas. It does an excellent job of picking up pet hair and larger debris, automatically boosting its suction on carpet to snag the stuff that’s been walked all over.

Though it does not offer digital mapping of each room in your house, the E4’s navigation is pretty pristine. It uses a dual gyroscope system and opticEye motion sensor to monitor its surroundings and make a game plan — unlike the bots that bump around until they find something to clean.

Through the app, you can schedule a cleaning, start (or stop) a cleaning, change the cleaning mode, and more.
