If you've ever wanted to buy a robot vacuum now is the time to get one. 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 is a powerful robot that is equipped with smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its running time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties and automatically refills its water tank.
1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. Its most significant breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes and the pet waste that most other robots can't avoid (and often plough right through). It's the first robot to send you a picture of an object that it encounters, so you can tell the robot to stay clear of it.
The Combo J7+ is the best robot hoover robot mop that we have ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills effortlessly and leaves no trace of it was there. It's easy to remote control vacuum Cleaner using the iRobot Home app, which allows you to schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean areas you don't want it to. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop by speaking to it.
The design is also more appealing than the other models. It features a sleek, top piece that looks like a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System self-empties which is great for reducing your cleanup time.
In our tests, we observed that the j7+ swiftly removed dust, dirt, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot instead of scattering it all over the floor washing robot. It even was able to take small gravel and sand, which most other robots couldn't do. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.
Although it's not as smart as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum and can't clean stairs The j7+ is still an excellent choice for those who need both mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not too expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy 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 long time to download updates, and at times it's hard to determine if the update is actually working until you've seen it in the action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean your floors, a hybrid is the ideal choice. These robots come with a water tank so they can vacuum and mop simultaneously. These bots also have a variety of extra features, including smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. They're expensive at retail, but usually lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Roborock makes some of our top robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. This is the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not include some of the luxurious features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories), it's still an excellent option when you're willing to make some compromises to save a few bucks.
The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles such as tables and walls and walls, which makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning dust bunnies, which is a problem where cheaper robot vacuums can really fail. The Q5+'s navigation system is also superb, with only a few mishaps along walls or in corners.
Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled by the buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings and schedules, as well as create virtual barriers and no-go zones and adjust your home map, or re-label rooms.
If you choose the Q5+ model, it includes a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make this robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver but once it's installed, emptying the bin is done with relative ease. It has a large LCD screen, which is useful in setting up schedules and altering settings. This feature isn't required for most people but it can help you easily keep the robot's maintenance schedules.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly smart in both its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is one of the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.
The base station looks nice and hides it when not in use, and its size is relatively compact. The main reason to buy the station is that it can automate many tasks, functions and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot cleaner commercial clean and charged.
Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tried that does an excellent job of removing the dust from floors with no. It's also not as loud as the expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.
But the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially when it comes to navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means that it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of the house. It's also unable to climb stairs as well as other models and isn't equipped with a dock to create a cleaning area for carpets that are soft.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who want a robot vacuum that does everything.
If you're looking to cut costs or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are many alternatives available. Many of the eufy models cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and offers the same experience in the app, but with more features like the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and better overall vacuuming performance on bare floors and low and high-pile carpets.
4. eufy RoboVac G30
eufy is an Anker company with a history of producing robot vacuums that offer the perfect combination of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on carpets and hard flooring, and a mopping function at a reasonable price. It's easy to set it up, just snap on one of the side brushes and then turn it on. Then plug in your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. You'll need to leave the dock near an outlet for power and plenty of room to allow 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 isn't as ostentatious compared to some rival models. It features a sleek black finish with three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area 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 to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.
The primary feature that makes the G30 apart from its competitors is the method it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to draw an image of the unmovable items in its path. It keeps track of the things it has cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. It will return to the base to recharge and continues cleaning the area it left.
The sleek G30 isn't without faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers superior performance on floors that are unfinished and carpets with a low pile. It comes with a larger dust bin, which does not require the same amount of emptying. It also has boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and it has less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
