Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals
Now is your chance to own a robotic vacuum. CNET's top-rated models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and can save you 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 automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.
1. iRobot Roomba j7+
The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its most notable innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. It makes use of AI to recognize objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's the first robot to provide you with a picture of an object that it encounters, so you can instruct the robot to avoid it.
The Combo j7+ is also the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, removing dirt and spills with ease and leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control through the iRobot Home app which allows you to schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't clean areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it with a voice.
Its design is a step above the competition with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System automatically empty, which is great to speed up cleaning.
In our tests the j7+ was quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one place rather than sending it scattering all over the Automatic floor cleaner. It was able capture sand, small gravel and even a little grit. The majority of robots cannot do this. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.
Although it's not as efficient as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs The J7+ is an excellent option for those who need both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not costly and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.
While the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other applications that use robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates, and at times it's difficult to know if the update is actually working until you see it in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you're looking for a vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the best robot vacuum black friday choice is probably a hybrid. These machines are equipped with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also come with various additional features such as smart mapping and small object avoidance and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they tend to be expensive when purchased at full retail, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.
Roborock makes some of our favorite robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. It's their cheapest auto-empty model, and although it doesn't have some of the features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great choice if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save hundreds of dollars.
The Q5+ is extremely gentle when it comes down to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it an excellent option for homes with many furniture pieces. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is an area that many robot vacuums that are less expensive do not excel in. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few misses in corners and on walls.
Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled with the buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. Through the app, you can begin and stop cleanings or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones, and modify your home map, or re-label rooms.
If you decide to go with the Q5+ model, it ships with a new auto-empty dock, which was specifically designed to make the machine easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once installed, the process of emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also comes with a large LCD display, which is nice to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This isn't a necessity for most people however it 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 astonishingly clever in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is one of the best in the industry, but it's expensive.
The base station looks nice and hides it when not in use, and its dimensions are quite small. The station's most appealing feature is the way it automatizes numerous tasks and functions that most other robots leave up to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and keeps your robot fully charged and clean.
Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's the few robovacs I've tested that do a really good job of cleaning up debris from unfinished floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.
However, the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, meaning it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of the house. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other models and doesn't come with a docking station to create a clean zone for carpets with plush padding.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who need an automated vacuum that can do it all.
But if you want to save some money or simply don't care about the limitations of this robotic floor scrubber there are many alternatives on the market with a wide range of eufy models for considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example is a bit more expensive and has more features, such as the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, that provides the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on floors that are unfinished carpets with low pile as well as high-pile carpets.
4. eufy RoboVac G30
Eufy is an Anker company that has a history of producing robot vacuum cleaner ebay vacuums with the right combination of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpeted floors, as well as mopping capabilities for a low cost. It's simple to set up, simply attach one of the side brushes and then turn it on. Then connect your charging dock. The app walks you through a few steps to connect it to your Wi-Fi. After that, the G30 is ready to go. It is recommended to keep the dock near an outlet for power and plenty of room for it to move around however.
The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise, which means it can be placed under couches and other low-clearance furniture. Its design is less ostentatious compared to some rival models. It is sleek with a black finish with three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs a spot in a spiral pattern 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 way the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from its rivals. It uses an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable items in its path. It remembers the items it has cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. It then returns to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning the area it left.
The eufy G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, has similar battery life and performs better on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It has 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 less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container does not require emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky materials like cereal.
