top rated robot vacuum Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

If you've ever thought of get a robot vacuum, now's your chance. CNET's top-rated models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with savings of up to 57%..

The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping, with apps-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is impressive. It also self-empties itself and automatically refills its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most advanced robot to date is the Roomba J7+. Its biggest advancement is an obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes and the pet waste that many other robots are unable to avoid (and often plough right through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you a picture of an object it encounters so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo j7+ is also the best robot to mop we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt with ease and leaving no trace that it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. It can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean in areas that you don't would like. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop by speaking to it.

Its design is a step above the competition with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal System also self-empties, which will cut down your cleaning time.

In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ quickly took away dirt, dust, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it across the floor. It even could capture sand and small gravel which other robots aren't able to do. It did all of this without getting caught in our pet's hair shedding.

The j7+, while not as intelligent as the Roomba S9 for $1,217+ self vacuum-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and can't clean the stairs, is an option for those who require both a vacuum and a mop. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.

While the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that utilize robotic cleaners. It can take a long time to download updates, and sometimes it's hard to determine whether the update is functioning until you've seen it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking to purchase a vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the best option is probably a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a tank of water so they can vacuum and mop simultaneously. They also come with a variety of extra features such as smart mapping and small object avoidance and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. The downside is that they tend to be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they are often reduced in price.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't perform to the standards. It's the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not include some of the premium features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories), it's still an excellent option for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is remarkably soft when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it an ideal choice for homes that have a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is a problem which many robot vacuum price vacuums can really fail. The Q5+'s navigation system is also excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.

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

If you select the Q5+ it includes a new auto emptying dock that is designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once in place the process of emptying the bin is simple. It also comes with an impressive LCD display that is great to have when you're setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't necessary for most people however it can help you easily keep the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a smart, well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design and functionality are some of the top available however, it's also expensive.

It's a tiny base station that looks beautiful and can be hidden when not in use. The main reason to buy the station is that it can automate many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot fully charged and clean.

And its vacuuming is impressive, too. It's the only robot vacuum I've tried that does well at picking up the dust from floors with no. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially when it comes navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robotvacs. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the house. It also can't climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a docking station to create a cleaning area for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for a vacuum robot that can do it all.

If you're looking to cut costs or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are other options available. Many eufy models cost considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is less expensive and has more features, such as the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, which provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on plain floors, low-pile carpets as well as high-pile ones.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of creating robot vacuums that strike the right balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for hard and carpeted flooring, and a mopping function at an affordable price. It's easy to set it up, just connect one of the side brush, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app walks you through a few steps to connect it to Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. It is recommended to keep the dock close to an electrical outlet and ample space to allow it to move around, however.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be exact and will fit under many couches and other furniture with a low clearance. Its design is less ostentatious in comparison to other models. It features a sleek black finish with three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs a spot in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to perform cleaning that is not scheduled using voice commands.

The most important characteristic that makes the G30 apart from most competitors is the method it cleans. It uses an integrated map to make a picture of the immovable objects in its path. It remembers the things it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. It then returns to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning where it left off.

The sleek G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better constructed, has lower recurring expenses, charges faster and offers similar battery life while offering better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with low pile. It comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't require as much emptying. It also comes with boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't need emptying as often and it struggles less with heavy materials such as cereal.
