Our Verdict
HoLife HM036E
iRobot H1
The HoLife HM036E is better than the iRobot H1. The HoLife is less demanding in terms of maintenance, incurs fewer recurring costs, takes less time to recharge, and delivers significantly better performance on bare floors. You can also use it to clean liquid messes thanks to its included nozzle attachment, but we don't currently test for that. Meanwhile, the iRobot has a larger dirt compartment, delivers better performance on low and high-pile carpet, and comes with a turbo brush.
