The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping using app-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is awe-inspiring. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most intelligent robot vacuum cleaner best vacuum to date. Its biggest advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. This uses AI to recognize objects like charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, so you can tell the robot to avoid it.

The Combo j7+ is also the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. It can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't sweep in areas you don't wish to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it using voice.

Its design is also a step above the competition and features a sleek, top robot vacuum piece that looks more like a toy than a loud, obnoxious one. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System automatically empty which is great for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ swiftly took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in its place rather than scattering it around the floor. It was able capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a tiny bit of grit. Most robots can't do this. And it did all this without getting tangled up in our pet's hair shedding.

Although it's not as smart as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum and can't clean stairs, the J7+ is a solid option for those who require both mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly.

While the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other applications that work with robotic cleaners. It can take a long time to download updates, and at times it's difficult to know whether the update actually functioning until you've seen it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you are looking for a robot automatic vacuum cleaner that does more than just clean your floors, a hybrid is the Best Automatic Floor Cleaner option. These robots come with a water tank, so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. They also come with a variety of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.

Roborock produces some of our favorite robotic floor scrubber vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. perform to the standards. This is the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not have some of the more expensive features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories), it's still a great choice if you are willing to compromise to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like table legs and walls, which makes it a good choice for homes with lots of furniture. It is also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is an area that many robot vacuums that are less expensive aren't able to meet. The Q5+'s navigation system is excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.

The Q5+, just like other Roborock products, can be controlled by just a few buttons on the device or through 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 adjust your home map, or change the labels of rooms.

If you choose to purchase the Q5+ model, it ships with a new auto-empty dock, which was specifically designed to make this robot easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once it's in place, emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also features an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when you're setting up schedules or altering settings. This isn't a necessary feature for everyone however it will aid in keeping track of the maintenance intervals for your robot easily.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly clever in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is one of the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.

It's a small base station that looks stunning and is easily hidden when not in use. The primary selling point of the station is that it automates many tasks, chores and functions that other robots have to leave to you. It can store 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 ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive, too. It's the only robovacs that I've tried that does an excellent 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.

The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially in the area of navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs. This means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the house. It's not able climb stairs as well as some competitors, either and it doesn't have a dock that allows you to create an exclusive cleaning zone for carpets that are soft.

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 money or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are other options on the market. Many eufy models cost substantially less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example is a bit more expensive and has more features, including the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, with a better overall vacuuming experience on floors that are unfinished, low-pile carpets and even high-pile ones.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company that has a history of producing robot vacuums with the right balance of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors as well as carpets and mopping function too at an affordable price point. It's easy to set it up, just connect one of the side brushes, turn it on and connect your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock will need to be located near an outlet with plenty of space to move.

The G30 is a tiny device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, so it will be placed under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is less ostentatious in comparison to other models. It features a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral pattern for two minutes) Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.

The way in which the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from its competitors. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it left off.

The elegant G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower cost of operation. It is faster to charge, has the same battery life and performs better on bare carpet or floors with low pile. It has a larger dust bin that does not require more emptying. It also has boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't require as frequent emptying and it struggles less with heavy materials such as cereal.
