1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. Its most significant breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste most other robots can't avoid (and often plough right through). It's the first robot to provide you with images of objects that it encounters, so you can instruct the robot to stay clear of it.
The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills easily and leaves no trace of it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning and set up Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't vacuum areas you do not want it to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off with your voice.
The design is also better than the competition. It has a sleek, top piece that appears like a toy rather than the loud and annoying robot. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt removal System also self-empties, which will cut down your cleaning time.
In our tests, the j7+ was quick to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place rather than scattering it around the floor. It was able to collect small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a tiny bit of grit. The majority of robots cannot achieve this feat. It did this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.
The j7+, while not as smart as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot, and isn't able to clean the stairs, is still an option for those who want both a vacuum and a mop. It's not too expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use, but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates, and at times it's difficult to know whether the update is working until you've seen it in the action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that does more than just clean smart robot your floors then a hybrid is the ideal choice. This kind of robot usually has a built-in water tank which means they can mop and vacuum your home simultaneously. They also have a range of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and even the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. They are expensive at retail, but they often come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Roborock has some of our top robot vacuums, and the Q5+ isn't an exception. This is the cheapest model in their auto-empty line. While it may not include some of the luxurious features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent option for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few bucks.
The Q5+ is exceptionally soft when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it an excellent option for homes with many furniture pieces. It's also very thorough in getting rid of dust bunnies which is a problem where cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The Q5+'s navigation is superb, with only a few mishaps on walls and corners.
The Q5+, like other Roborock products, can be controlled by just a few buttons on the device, or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set up schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones or modify your home map or change the room's label.
If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto emptying dock that is designed to make this best robot vacuum for the money easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, but once in place emptying the bin can be done with relative ease. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't essential for most people however it can help you to keep track of the robot's maintenance schedules.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a clever, well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of both vacuuming and mopping. Its design is one of the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.
It's a tiny base station that looks great and can be hidden when not in use. The primary selling point of the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions, and chores that other robots would leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require this.
Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovacs that I've tested that do a really good job of cleaning up debris from plain floors, and is not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.
However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means it could get stuck or get confused in certain corners or rooms in the house. It's also unable to climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a dock to create a cleaning area for carpets with plush padding.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who need an automated vacuum cleaner vacuum that can do everything.
But if you want to save money, or just don't care about the limitations of this machine there are many alternatives on the market with a wide range of eufy models priced significantly less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance, is cheaper, but offers many more features, like stairs and a fully-function Dock, which provides the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on bare floors carpets, low-pile carpets as well as high-pile carpets.
4. eufy RoboVac G30
Eufy, a Anker company, has a track record of creating best robot vacuum for Large house vacuums that strike the right balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different, offering a capable cleaning of hard floors and carpets and mopping function too at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up, simply snap on one of the side brush, turn it on and connect the 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 a power outlet and enough space to allow it to move around however.
The G30 is a small device that measures 2.85 inches in height, which means it is able to be tucked away under couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is less ostentatious compared to some rival models. It is sleek with a black finish and three buttons that are physical 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 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.
The way the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from other models. It makes use of an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable items that are in its path. It remembers the things it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.
The sleek G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower cost of operation. It is faster to charge, has the same battery life and performs better on bare flooring or carpet with a low pile. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't have to be emptied as often and comes with a set of boundaries to keep it away from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't need to be emptied as often and has less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
