Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

This is your chance to own a robot vacuum. CNET's top models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and can save you up to 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that is equipped with smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its 180-minute running time is impressive. It also self-empties and automatically refills its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most advanced robot cleaning machine to date is the Roomba J7+. Its greatest advancement is an obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes and the pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often slough through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you photos of the object it comes across so that you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt with ease while leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to remote control vacuum cleaner. You can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't vacuum in areas you don't want. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off using your voice.

The design is also superior to the other models. It features a sleek, top piece that looks like a toy rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. The Clean Base automatic hoover robot Dirt Disposal System self-empties and is ideal for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, we found that the j7+ swiftly took away dirt, dust, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot instead of scattering it all over the floor. It was able to capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a little grit. Most robots could not do this. It did all without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

Although it's not as sophisticated as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the j7+ is still an excellent choice for those who need both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly to use.

While the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that work with robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates and it can be difficult to determine if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum cleaner that can do more than simply clean your floors A hybrid is the best robot vacuum for large house choice. These machines are equipped with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also come with a variety of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. They're costly at retail, but they often come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock makes some of our top robot vacuums and the Q5+ isn't an exception. This is their least expensive auto-empty model. While it doesn't have some of the premium features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great option if you're willing sacrifice a little to save hundreds of dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs and walls, which makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is a place where many cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The Q5+'s navigation system is excellent, with few misses along walls and in corners.

The Q5+, just like other Roborock products can be controlled with only a few buttons on your device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones or adjust your home map, or change the room's label.

If you decide to go with the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock that's specifically designed to make the robot easy to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver but once it's installed emptying the bin can be accomplished easily. It also has a large LCD display that is great to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't required for the majority of people, but it can help you easily keep track of the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's astonishingly smart in both its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is one of the top in the market however it's quite expensive.

Its base station looks good and is hidden when it's not in use, and the size is quite compact. But the station's main selling point is how it automates many tasks and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require this.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's one of the few robot Cleaner Commercial vacuums I've tried that does a really good job of collecting debris from bare floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means that it is prone to getting stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms in the home. It also can't climb stairs like other models and isn't equipped with a dock to create a house cleaning robot zone for carpets that are soft.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who need an automated vacuum that can do it all.

If you're looking to cut costs or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are many other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost significantly less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and provides a similar in-app experience with more features, including the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and better overall vacuuming performance on bare floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of producing robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpet flooring, and mopping capabilities for a low cost. It's easy to setup by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps required to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock must be placed near an outlet and have plenty of room to move.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise It can be placed under sofas and other furniture with low clearance. The design is less flashy than some of the rival models, sporting a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which cleans the area in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.

The way the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from its rivals. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of the immovable objects in its path and then keeps track of what it has already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its starting point and begins cleaning where it began.

The elegant G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower recurring costs. It is faster to charge, has similar battery life and performs better on unfinished floors or low-pile carpet. It comes with a larger dust bin, which does not require more emptying. It also comes with boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is, on the other hand is more affordable and a lot easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't require as frequent emptying and it struggles less with heavy materials like cereal.
