The most important aspect of a robot vacuum, though, is its cleaning ability, and in our tests the Romo P more than holds its own against established leaders like Roborock and Dreame read our in-depth DJI Romo P review for more. Its a hugely impressive package all-round, and my choice for Home
Device of the Year in TechRadar's Product of the Year Awards 2026 . DJIs drones have offered autonomous navigation since 2016, and it's that expertise that gives the Romo P the edge when it comes to pathfinding. It combines dual fisheye cameras with LiDAR to detect objects as small as 2mm thick (that's less than an eighth of an inch), so theres no need to worry about cables or shoelaces getting wrapped around the brushroll.

The Romo P packs serious cleaning power inside its space-age chassis too, tackling dirt, dust and pet hair across all floor types. With 25,000Pa
suction and extendable cleaning brushes, its particularly well suited to
wood, tiles and other hard surfaces, and its no slouch on carpet either, easily keeping up with rival robovacs. (Image credit: Future) Wet cleaning is especially impressive; the Romo Ps dual mop heads are noticeably more plush and absorbent than those of other robovacs weve tested, and the right-hand head articulates out slightly to clean all the way to the edge of furniture and baseboards without leaving dust lines (a common issue with round robovacs). When it needs to move onto carpet, the mop heads raise automatically to keep the floor dry.

Once the Romo P has finished cleaning, its automated charging and self-cleaning dock takes over. This surprisingly compact unit sucks dirt from the romovacs bin into a sealed dust bag to keep dirt and allergens safely contained, then washes the mop pads and dries them to prevent mold and odors. The process is so effective that you might only need to intervene a few times a year.

The Romo P is controlled via DJIs Home app, which lets you customize its automated functions to suit your floors and lifestyle. For example, you can set up custom cleaning schedules, and adjust the Romo Ps suction and mopping-water levels on a room-by-room basis. Like any good robovac app, DJI Home also allows you to set no-go zones, and monitor cleaning progress in
real time. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

The Romo P is even a cut above other robot vacuums when it comes to aesthetics, with its transparent top panel and matching see-through dock letting you see exactly whats happening while the duo keep your home spotless with little-and-often cleaning. Theyre a far cry from the usual black or
white pucks and chunky docks of most robovacs.
