1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most intelligent vacuum cleaner robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. The most significant innovation is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It makes use of AI to recognize objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, meaning you can instruct that it is safe to avoid it.

The Combo J7+ is the best robot mop that we have ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills easily and leaves no trace of it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. You can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean in areas you don’t would like. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it by voice.

Its design is also a step above the competition with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying, which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ quickly took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it all over the floor. It was able to capture small gravel, sand and even a little grit. Most robots can't do this. It did all this without getting caught in our pet's hair shed.

Although it's not as sophisticated as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the J7+ is a solid option for those who require both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not costly and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.

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

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking to purchase an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the best robot vacuum black friday option is probably a hybrid. These machines are equipped with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance and even the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. They're costly at full retail but often lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock produces some of our favorite robotic vacuum cleaner sale vacuums, and the Q5+ doesn't perform to the standards. This is the cheapest model in their auto-empty line. Although it doesn't come with some of the premium features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories), it's still an excellent choice for those who are willing to make a few compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable soft around obstacles like tables and walls which makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies, which is an area which many robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is excellent too, with very little missed corners and along walls.

The Q5+, just like other Roborock products can be controlled via a few buttons on the device or through the Roborock App. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go areas and adjust your home map, or re-label the rooms.

If you decide to go with the Q5+, it ships with a new auto-empty dock, which was designed specifically to make this robot simple to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, however, once it's in place it is done without difficulty. It has a large LCD screen which is helpful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't essential for the majority of people, however 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 astonishingly smart in both its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the top in the market, but it's expensive.

It's a small base station that looks stunning and can be hidden when not in use. The station's main selling point is that it automates many tasks, functions and chores that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot fully charged and clean.

Its vacuuming capabilities are impressive as well. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tested that does very well at collecting debris from bare floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly when it comes to navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, which means it is sometimes stuck or automated vacuum cleaner confused in certain areas of the house. It also can't climb stairs like other models and isn't equipped with a dock to create a clean zone for carpets with plush padding.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent option for those looking for a robot vacuum that does it all.

If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost significantly less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example, is cheaper 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 and even high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of producing robot vacuums that strike a good balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning on hard floors and mopping, carpets and other surfaces at an affordable price point. It's simple to set up by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch it on, and plug it into the charging dock. The app takes you through a few steps to connect to your Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. It is recommended to keep the dock close to a power outlet and ample space for it to move around however.

The G30 is a small device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, which means it can fit under most couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious when compared to rival models. It has a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes) Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or automated vacuum cleaner Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.

The way in which the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from its rivals. It uses an integrated map to create an image of the unmovable items in its path. It can remember what it has already cleaned and what it is unable to access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.

The eufy G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring expenses, charges faster and offers similar battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It has a larger dust bin that does not require as much emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky material like cereal.
