When it comes to household essentials, ask any parent or pet owner, and they'll agree a good vacuum cleaner nears the top of the must-have list. However, just because vacuuming is necessary doesn't make it enjoyable.

For shoppers looking to take the hassle out of cleaning, investing in a robot vacuum might be worth your while, especially if you can grab one on sale.

As luck would have it, the ILIFE V5s Pro 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop is currently 37 per cent off on Amazon Canada. To learn why this best-selling robot vacuum has been described as the "best bang for your buck" by reviewers, scroll below.

If you're in the market for a do-it-all floor cleaner, the ILIFE V5s Pro 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop is a great one to check out, especially at its current sale price.

Not only can the robot vacuum easily and efficiently pick up debris, dust, hair and dirt, but the unit also comes equipped with a mopping mode to give your home a more comprehensive clean.

While on mopping mode, the vacuum's smart sensors automatically control water consumption and remove dirt and stains on hard floors. When it's time to return to vacuuming, the unit's MAX mode delivers powerful suction to easily collect large chunks of dirt and debris.

The ILIFE V5 can detect and avoid obstacles like furniture, manoeuvre around stairs and potential falls and self-navigate back to its charging station when running low on battery.

With more than 18,400 reviews, it's safe to say the ILIFE V5s Pro 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop has become a favourite among Amazon shoppers.

According to one reviewer, the ILIFE V5 is "not just a robot" but an "all-in-one package" that "cannot be [beaten]." In terms of robot vacuums, they say it's the "best bang for your buck" that you can get.

The vacuum goes over the doormats and area rug "without a problem," writes a second reviewer. In a home with two large dogs, cats and teenagers, the "floors have never been cleaner," they rave.

Every time it's run, the dust bin will be full of "dust and cat hair," says another shopper.

"If you have hard floors" and "pets that shed," this is "the [vacuum] for you," echos a fourth shopper.

Despite a four-star rating or higher for suction power, battery life, and value, some reviewers say the unit has a "somewhat small tank," which fills up quickly if dealing with a lot of pet hair or dust.

According to another reviewer, the vacuum "misses a lot of places" that it should "easily get."

It misses "big parts of the rooms," they say, leaving behind "crumbs out in the open" that it "should have gotten."

If an afternoon spent vacuuming doesn't sound like your idea of a good time, a robot vacuum might be the solution you're looking for. With over 18,000 reviews, the ILIFE V5s Pro 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop is a great option for anyone who wants a versatile cleaning solution. However, some critics say the robot vacuum "misses a lot of places" while on the job, something to keep in mind when placing your order.
