WIRED reviewer Adrienne So has been testing gear for over a decade, and the Matic robot vacuum is the only 10/10 review she's ever given. She calls it a game-changer robot vacuum for a reason.
There are several reasons for this, actually. First off, its six RGB infrared cameras create a seamless, detailed 3D model of your home, allowing the vacuum to see above itself and in the dark. Its map isn't relative, so it doesn't get confused when you move the vacuum or a single piece of furniture like a chair. The waste bag will contain wet and dry debris, so no more emptying the dirty brown water after every cleaning session. It can actually clean the toe kicks under your kitchen counters, and is quiet enough that you can run it while still being able to watch TV. You can teach the vacuum to go around certain obstacles, plus share the app and control of the vacuum with your family members. For all those features, it's also a compact vacuum that also doesn't need a massive docking station. Plus, it's cute, too, with a more unique design than the sea of round robot discs.
It does have lower suction power than other vacuums we recommend, but this vacuum is thorough enough that So hasn't noticed a difference. She has, however, noticed that she can fill a waste bag in three days (Matic says one bag lasts one to four weeks, though). They're expensive to stock up on, and you can only get them on Matic's website. Still, it's worth noting that the waste bags are fantastic, with absorbent crystals, charcoal, and a HEPA filter in the bag itself.
