Which robot vacuum is the quietest?
One published cleaning-noise figure per robot, mode by mode.
Only six of the eleven robots on our site come with a published cleaning-noise figure. The lowest figure is 45 dB, for the SwitchBot K11+ in quiet mode, and also for the SwitchBot K10+ Pro, though its maker doesn’t say which mode. Among standard vacuum-and-mop figures, the ECOVACS DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone is lowest at 62.9 dB.

ECOVACS also gives vacuum-only figures in standard mode: 61.8 dBA for the X11 OmniCyclone and 64.5 dBA for the X9 PRO OMNI. Makers measure noise in different ways and in different modes, so a quiet-mode figure and a standard-mode figure can’t be compared directly. Five robots here have no published cleaning-noise figure: Roborock Saros 20, eufy Omni S2, Dreame D30 Ultra, Roborock QV 35A, SwitchBot S20.
Quieter in practice
- Set runs for when nobody is home, if your robot’s app has a schedule.
- Use quiet mode for everyday runs and a stronger mode now and then.
- The figures above are for cleaning. A self-emptying dock also makes noise while it empties the robot, and we don’t count figures for that. See dust bag days.
