1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most advanced robot cleaner commercial to date is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often slough through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you a photo of an object it encounters to let you know to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly and leaving no trace that it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. It can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones so 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 other models. It has an elegant, top piece that looks like a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great to speed up cleaning.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot rather than sending it scattering across the floor. It even managed to catch small gravel and sand that other robots can't. It did without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

Although it's not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the J7+ is an excellent option for those who need both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not expensive, and the iRobot application makes it user-friendly.

While the iRobot Home app is very easy to use however, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that work with robotic vacuums cleaners. It can take a while to download updates, and often it's hard to determine whether the update actually working until you see it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you're looking for a vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the best robot Vacuum For large house option is probably hybrid. These bots are equipped with a water tank so they can vacuum and mop at the same time. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and even the capability to dry and wash mopping pads. They're costly at retail, but usually are reduced on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock makes some of our top robot vacuums, and the Q5+ isn't an exception. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. While it may not have some of the more luxurious features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories) but it's a great choice if you are willing to make a few compromises to save a few bucks.

The Q5+ is noticeably soft around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it a great choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in getting rid of dust bunnies which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums can really fail. The Q5+'s navigation system is also superb, with only a few mishaps on walls and corners.

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

If you opt for the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock that's specifically designed to make the machine easy to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver however, once it's in place it is done with relative ease. It has a large LCD screen that is very useful in setting up schedules and adjusting settings. This isn't an essential feature for everyone, but it's one that will help you keep track of the maintenance intervals for your robot with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the best in the industry however it's quite expensive.

The base station is attractive and is hidden when it's not in use, and the dimensions are quite small. The primary selling point of the station is that it can automate many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots would leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and keeps your robot charged and clean.

Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive, too. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tested that do a really good job of picking up debris on bare floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robotvacs. This means it could get stuck or get confused in certain corners or rooms in the home. It also can't climb stairs like other competitors and doesn't come with a dock to create a cleaning zone for carpets that are soft.

Although it doesn't provide as much in the way of cleaning-related options in its app or as many shortcuts in the app as some other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for those looking for a comprehensive mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the premium price cost.

If you're looking to save money or don't want to think about the limitations of this robot There are many other options available which include a variety of eufy models priced considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example is a bit more expensive however it comes with many more features, like the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, with a better overall vacuuming experience on floors that are unfinished carpets, low-pile carpets as well as high-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums robot with the right balance of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpeted flooring, and mopping capabilities at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn it on and plug in the charging dock. The app walks you through several steps to connect it to Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to place the dock close to an electrical outlet and ample space for it to move however.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise and can be placed under sofas and other furniture with low clearance. Its design isn't as ostentatious in comparison to other models. It has a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs a spot in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The main aspect that distinguishes the G30 apart from its competitors is the way it cleans. It uses a built-in map to create an image of immovable objects in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and what it isn't able to access. When it's time to recharge, it automatically returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it left off.

The sleek G30 isn't without its faults however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn't require to be emptied as often and comes with a set of boundaries to ensure it isn't in certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't have to be emptied as often and it's less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
