1. iRobot Roomba j7+
The Roomba J7+, iRobot's smartest robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest innovation is its camera-based obstacle detection system. It makes use of AI to identify objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's also the first robot to automatically send you a picture of the object it comes across so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.
The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we've ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills easily, leaving no trace that it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. You can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't sweep in areas that you don't want. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it by voice.
The design is also superior to the competition. It features an elegant, top piece that appears like a toy rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.
In our tests, the j7+ was quick to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one location rather than sending it scattering across the floor. It even was able to take small gravel and sand that other robots couldn't do. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.
The j7+, although not as intelligent as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ self cleaning vacuum cleaner-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot, and it isn't able to clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who need both mopping and vacuum. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use, but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates, and it can be difficult to tell if they are working until you actually see them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
When you're looking for a robot vacuum that does more than just clean floors, your best automatic vacuum option is probably one that is a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a water tank so they can vacuum and mop at the same time. They also come with a variety of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and even the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be pricey at full retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.
Roborock is the manufacturer of some of our favorite robotic vacuum cleaner commercial vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't disappoint. It's the cheapest model in their auto-empty line. While it may not include some of the expensive features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) but it's an excellent choice when you're willing to compromise to save a few dollars.
The Q5+ is extremely gentle when it comes down to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it an excellent choice for homes that have a lot of furniture. It is also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a area where many cheaper robot vacuums aren't able to meet. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is superb too, with very little missed corners and along walls.
The Q5+, just like other Roborock products can be controlled with just a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock App. With the app you can start and stop cleanings and schedules, as well as create virtual barriers and no-go zones, and modify your home map or change the labels of rooms.
If you decide to go with the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock specifically designed to make this machine easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once in place, emptying the bin is simple. It comes with a huge LCD screen that is very useful in setting up schedules and adjusting settings. This isn't a necessary feature for everyone but it can aid in keeping track of your Bagless cheap robot vacuum cleaner Vacuum (telegra.ph)'s maintenance intervals effortlessly.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a sophisticated well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of vacuuming and mopping. Its design and functionality are among the most advanced available however, it's also expensive.
The base station is attractive and is hidden when it's not in use, and the size is relatively compact. But the station's biggest selling feature is the way it automatizes numerous tasks and functions that other robots will leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot fully charged and clean.
Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive as well. It's the few robovacs I've tested that do an excellent job of cleaning up debris from bare floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 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 robot vacuums. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the home. It's not able to climb stairs as well as some competitors, and doesn't come with a dock that lets you to create a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who want an automated vacuum that can do everything.
If you're looking to save money or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options available. Many eufy models cost considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive and has more features, such as stair climbing and a full-function Dock, that provides a better overall vacuuming experience on plain floors carpets with low pile as well as high-pile carpets.
4. eufy RoboVac g30
Eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of creating robot vacuums that strike the right balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpet floors, as well as mopping capabilities at an affordable price. It's simple to set up simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app walks you through a few steps to connect it to Wi-Fi. After that, the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to leave the dock close to an electrical outlet and enough space to allow it to move however.
The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be exact, which means it will fit under many couches and other low-clearance furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious when compared to rival 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 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.
The main aspect that sets the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of the immovable objects it encounters while retaining what it's cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning where it left off.
The elegant G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more constructed, has lower recurring costs, is charged faster and offers similar battery life, while providing better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't require more emptying. It also has boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't have to be emptied as often, and it has less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
