In our tests, the j7+ was quick to remove dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place instead of scattering it across the floor. It even was able to catch small gravel and sand, which most other robots can't. It did all of this without getting caught in our pet's shedding hair.
The j7+, though not as intelligent as the $1,217 Roomba S9and Self Vacuum-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and it isn't able to clean the stairs, is still an option for those who want both a vacuum and a mop. It's not expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly.

The Q5+ is remarkably gentle when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it a great choice for homes that have lots of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning dust bunnies. This is a place where most robot vacuums of lower quality do not excel in.

It can store clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Most other robovacs will require you to do this.
Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's the only robovacs that I've tested that do an excellent job of picking up debris on plain floors, and is not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.
But the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, which means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the home. It can't navigate stairs as well as some competitors, either, and it doesn't have a dock that lets the user to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for plush carpets.

It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of the immovable objects it encounters, remembering what it's already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. When it's time to recharge, it returns to its base and resumes cleaning from where it left off.
The elegant G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower recurring costs. It charges faster, offers a similar battery life, and performs better on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It comes with a larger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying. It also comes with boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller size means that it doesn't need to be emptied as often, and it has less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
