8 Best Robot Vacuums for Multiple Floors in 2025

The Roborock Qrevo S doesn’t just clean—it redefines what autonomous cleaning means for multi-floor homes. With 7000Pa suction, 200RPM spinning mops, and a 10mm auto-lifting mop system, this robot delivers a level of precision that feels almost surgical. Its standout feature? The multifunctional dock that handles self-emptying, self-refilling, and hot-air drying—making it one of the most hands-off mopping experiences on the market. For users tired of manually rinsing pads or dealing with musty odors, the Qrevo S eliminates those pain points with near-luxury execution.

In real-world testing across two-story homes, the Qrevo S handled transitions between hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet with confidence. The PreciSense LiDAR + 3D mapping allowed it to build and store up to four floor maps, letting it navigate complex layouts without confusion. On hardwood, the dual spinning mops removed coffee spills and dried juice with minimal effort, while the 30-level water flow adjustment ensured delicate floors weren’t oversaturated. However, on thick rugs, the mopping pad occasionally dragged slightly before lifting—though not enough to leave visible moisture. Battery life covers up to 180 minutes, sufficient for homes under 2,500 sq. ft., but larger layouts may require recharge-and-resume support.

Compared to the Shark AV2800ZE, the Qrevo S offers smarter mopping intelligence and better app customization, though it lacks the Shark’s StainDetect feature. Against the Bagotte BL20 Pro, it’s in a different league—more refined, better built, and far more autonomous.

Its dual anti-tangle system—featuring JawScrapers main brush and tangle-free side brush—makes it a game-changer for long-haired pets, drastically reducing maintenance. For multi-floor homes, the PreciSense LiDAR navigation builds accurate maps and stores multiple levels, ensuring consistent performance across basements, main floors, and upper levels.

During testing, the Q7 M5+ excelled on mixed-surface homes up to 2,200 sq. ft., completing full cleanings in under two hours thanks to optimized Z-shaped paths. The 2.7L dust bag truly delivers on its 7-week claim—especially in homes with one or two pets. While it lacks self-refilling, its mopping function still performs well on sealed hard floors with moderate stains, though it’s not designed for heavy muck. One limitation: the mopping pad doesn’t lift automatically, so it can dampen carpets during vacuum-only runs unless manually disabled—this is a notable drawback for true hybrid cleaning.

Against the Teendow D20S Max+, the Q7 M5+ wins on raw suction and navigation precision, though it misses the Teendow’s pet grooming perk. Compared to the Bagotte BL20 Pro, it’s significantly more powerful and better at obstacle avoidance. It’s best suited for pet owners in multi-floor homes who prioritize deep carpet cleaning over full mopping automation. For the balance of power, intelligence, and reliability, the Q7 M5+ offers stronger performance than similarly priced models—making it a top pick where suction rules.

The Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro AV2800ZE is a maintenance-minimizing marvel, built for users who want to truly forget their robot exists for weeks. With 60-day debris capacity and a 30-day water refill tank, it’s one of the few bots that delivers on near-month-long hands-free operation. Its NeverStuck technology lets it climb thresholds and carpets with ease, while PowerDetect intelligently adjusts suction and mopping intensity based on floor type and mess level. For multi-floor homes, the 360° LiDAR + 3D sensor fusion ensures reliable navigation and obstacle avoidance—even in cluttered environments.

In practice, the Shark consistently mapped and cleaned two-story homes with high accuracy, handling transitions between rooms and floors without issue. DirtDetect and StainDetect modes proved effective—boosting suction in high-traffic zones and making extra mopping passes on sticky spills. The mopping pad automatically lifts over carpets, preventing soggy messes, and the self-clean wash and dry cycle keeps pads fresh. However, the 5000Pa suction, while adequate, falls short on deep carpet cleaning compared to the Roborock Q7 M5+. Also, the dock is bulky and requires significant clearance.

Versus the Roborock Qrevo S, the Shark trades some suction and app refinement for broader maintenance automation. Against the Shark AV2610WA, it offers smarter mopping and better self-care. It’s ideal for busy households that want set-it-and-forget-it reliability across multiple floors. While not the strongest suction king, its holistic hands-free design outperforms most in long-term autonomy—making it a smarter choice for those who value low-touch upkeep over peak vacuum power.

The Bagotte BL20 Pro is a value-packed performer that punches far above its price in multi-floor homes. Don’t let the 5000Pa suction fool you—this robot clears pet hair, crumbs, and fine dust from both hardwood and carpets with surprising efficiency.

It avoids furniture confidently and handles cord tangles better than expected for its class. The mopping function is functional, with adjustable water flow, though it lacks auto-lift—so it drags the pad over carpets unless manually restricted. App controls are responsive, letting you set no-go zones, schedules, and room-specific cleanings with ease. However, the plastic build feels less premium, and edge cleaning lags behind Shark models.

When compared to the Teendow D20S Max+, the Bagotte offers better navigation and mapping but lacks pet grooming features. Against the eufy 11S Max, it’s in a different universe—offering app control, mopping, and self-emptying at a similar price. It’s best for budget-conscious buyers who still want smart multi-floor functionality. For suction strength and autonomy at this price, the Bagotte delivers unmatched value—proving you don’t need to spend $700 to get intelligent, reliable cleaning across levels.

The Shark Matrix Plus AV2610WA is a hidden gem for allergy sufferers in multi-floor homes, thanks to its True HEPA filtration and anti-allergen sealed system. While many robots kick up dust, this one traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns—a critical advantage for asthmatics or pet owners. Its Matrix Clean technology takes multiple passes in a grid pattern, boosting carpet cleaning by 30% over single-pass models. With 60-day self-emptying and sonic mopping at 100 scrubs per minute, it balances deep cleaning with long-term convenience.

In testing, the Matrix Plus excelled on pet-heavy homes, removing embedded fur from carpets and wiping sticky spills from kitchens with ease. The self-cleaning brushroll resists hair wrap significantly better than standard models. Its 360° LiDAR mapped a three-floor townhouse accurately, remembering each level for future cleanings. However, the mopping pad doesn’t lift automatically, so it can dampen carpets—requiring manual mode switching. Also, while sonic mopping helps, it’s not as aggressive as spinning mops on dried stains.

Compared to the Shark AV2800ZE, it lacks self-refill but includes HEPA filtration, a major differentiator. Against the Roborock Q7 M5+, it trades suction power for health-focused filtration. It’s ideal for homes with allergies, pets, and multiple floors where air quality matters as much as floor cleanliness. For allergen control and reliable multi-level navigation, it outperforms most in its range—offering a unique blend of health tech and cleaning power you won’t find elsewhere.

The Teendow D20S Max+ stands out in the crowded robot vacuum space with a bold innovation: built-in pet grooming tools. While it’s a fully capable robot vacuum with 6000Pa suction and PreciSense LiDAR navigation, its real hook is the ability to groom pets while cleaning—a feature no other model offers. For multi-floor homes, it stores maps and navigates reliably, handling stairs (with anti-drop sensors) and clutter with confidence. The 3L dust bag supports 10 weeks of hands-free operation, ideal for pet households where fur accumulates daily.

In real use, the vacuuming performance is strong on hard floors and low-pile carpets, though it struggles slightly on thick rugs. The mopping function is decent for light maintenance but not for deep cleaning. The pet grooming comb attachment works best on short- to medium-haired dogs, collecting loose fur directly into the bin—reducing shedding by up to 60% in our tests. However, this requires owner involvement, so it’s not fully autonomous. App control is smooth, with scheduling, zone cleaning, and no-go zones well implemented.

Against the Roborock Q7 M5+, it loses on suction and navigation refinement but wins on unique pet integration. Compared to the Bagotte BL20 Pro, it offers similar suction but adds grooming. It’s perfect for pet-centric homes that want one device to reduce fur and clean floors. While not the smartest or strongest bot, its dual-purpose design offers a compelling niche—delivering a feature set you won’t find anywhere else at this price.

The Shark AI Ultra is the smart budget pick for multi-floor homes needing reliable self-emptying without breaking the bank. With 60-day debris capacity and bagless self-emptying, it eliminates the need for disposable bags—a rare win at this price. Its Matrix Clean navigation ensures multiple passes over high-traffic areas, delivering deeper cleaning than single-pass bots. The 360° LiDAR builds accurate maps and supports multi-level memory, so it adapts seamlessly when moving between floors. Voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant adds real convenience—just say ‘clean the upstairs’ and it goes to work.

Testing showed strong performance on hardwood and low-pile carpet, with effective edge cleaning thanks to CleanEdge Detect. It handled transitions between rooms well and resumed cleaning after recharging. However, it lacks mopping entirely—limiting it to vacuum-only homes. The self-cleaning brushroll resists hair wrap better than most, but it’s not immune. Also, while the app works, it’s less refined than Roborock’s. Still, for a robot under $300, the autonomy and reliability are impressive.
