If you've always wanted to get a robot vacuum, now is the time to get one. CNET's top-rated models will be available during Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts of up to 57%.
The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that is equipped with smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its run time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties itself and automatically refills its water tank.
1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.
The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most intelligent robot vacuum to date. Its biggest advancement is an obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes, and the pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often plough right through). It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, meaning you can instruct that it is safe to avoid it.
The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, removing dirt and spills with ease while leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. You can schedule cleanings and even create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't clean in areas you don’t would like. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it using voice.
The design is also more appealing than the competition. It features an elegant, top piece that looks like a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. Clean Base automatic cleaning Robot (zhzmsp.com) Dirt disposal System also self-empties, which will reduce your cleaning time.
In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ swiftly removed dust, dirt, and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in its place instead of scattering it on the floor. It was able to capture small gravel, sand and even a little grit. Most robots can't do this. It did this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.
The j7+, while not as intelligent as the Roomba S9 for $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, is still an option for those who need both mopping and vacuum. It's not expensive and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic vacuum cleaner comparison cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates and it's sometimes difficult to determine if they are working until you see them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you're looking to purchase a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, the best option is probably a hybrid. This type of cheap robot vacuum cleaner typically comes with a built-in tank for water, meaning they can both mop and vacuum your home at the same time. They also have a range of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance and even the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. They're costly at retail, but they often are reduced on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Roborock makes some of our top robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. It's their cheapest auto-empty model. While it lacks some of the premium features you'll find on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still an excellent choice if you're willing to compromise a bit in order to save some hundred dollars.
The Q5+ is notably soft around obstacles like table legs and walls, which makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The Q5+'s navigation is excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.
The Q5+, as with other Roborock products can be controlled via just a few buttons on the device, or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones, 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 designed specifically to make this machine easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver for install, but once it's in place, emptying the bin is simple. It also has a large LCD display which is great to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't necessary for everyone, however it can help you to 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 incredibly intelligent in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is one of the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.
Its base station looks good and is hidden when it's not in use, and the size is relatively compact. But the station's main selling feature is the way it automatizes numerous tasks and functions that other robots leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Many other robots require you to do this.
Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovac I've tried that does an excellent job of removing the dust from floors with no. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.
However, the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly in terms of navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of the house cleaning robot. 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 an excellent option for those looking for a robot vacuum that does everything.
If you're looking to save some cash or don't want to think about the limitations of this robot there are many other options on the market which include a variety of eufy models for considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and provides the same experience in the app, but with additional features such as stairs, a fully-function dock, and a better overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high and low-pile carpets.
4. Eufy RoboVac G30
Eufy, a Anker company has a proven track record of producing robot vacuums that strike a good balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of hard and carpeted floors, as well as a mopping function at a reasonable price. It's easy to setup simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch it on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock must be placed near an outlet with enough space to move.
The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, which means it can be placed under most couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design is a little less ostentatious than some rival models, and features a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs a space in a spiral pattern for two minutes). You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.
The way in which the G30 cleans is what separates it from its rivals. It uses an integrated map to make an image of the unmovable items that are in its path. It can remember the things it has cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. When it's time to recharge, it automatically returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it left off.
The elegant G30 has its flaws, though. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower cost of operation. It charges faster, offers similar battery life and performs better on unfinished carpet or floors with low pile. It has a larger dust bin that does not require as much emptying. It also has border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky material like cereal.
