1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.
The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. Its biggest advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It makes use of AI to detect objects like charging cords and shoes. It's also the first robot to automatically send you photos of the object it comes across to let you know to stay clear of it in the future.
The Combo j7+ is also the best robot to mop we've ever tested, removing dirt and spills with ease without leaving any trace that was there. It's easy to control through the iRobot Home app which lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't sweep areas you don't 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 more appealing than the competition. It has a sleek, top piece that resembles toys rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System automatically empty, which is great for reducing your cleanup time.
In our tests the j7+ performed quick to pick up and remove dust, dirt and pet hair. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it around the floor. It even could capture sand and small gravel, which most other robots aren't able to do. And all this without getting caught in our pet's shedding hair.
While it's not quite as efficient as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs The j7+ is still an excellent option for those who need mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not too expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates, and it's sometimes difficult to know whether they're working until you actually see them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean your floors then a hybrid is the best choice. These robots come with a water tank, so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. They also have a number of additional features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. The downside is that they tend to be pricey at full retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they are often reduced in price.
Roborock has some of our most loved robot vacuums and the Q5+ is no exception. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. Although it might not have some of the more expensive features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories), it's still an excellent choice for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few bucks.
The Q5+ is noticeably soft around obstacles like table legs and walls, which makes it an excellent option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning dust bunnies, which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The Q5+'s navigation system is superb, with only a few mishaps along walls and in corners.
The Q5+, as with other Roborock products can be controlled with a few buttons on the device or through the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barrier and no-go areas, adjust your home map, or re-label the rooms.
If you opt for the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock, which was specifically designed to make this robot easy to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver however, once it's in place it can be done with relative ease. It comes with a huge LCD screen which is helpful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't required for most people however it can help you effectively keep track of 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 clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among 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 that it automates many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots leave to you. It can store dirty and clean water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Many other robots require you to perform this.
And its vacuuming is impressive and efficient, too. It's one of the only robovacs that I've tried that does a really good job of picking up debris on unfinished 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 faults, especially in terms of navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robot vacuums. This means that it can get stuck or get confused in certain corners or rooms of the house. It's not able climb stairs as well as some competitors, for instance and doesn't come with a dock that lets you to create an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for carpets with plush padding.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who need an automated vacuum that can do it all.
If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of alternatives available. A lot of eufy models are considerably less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and provides the same experience in the app, but with more features like stair climbing, a full-function dock, and a better overall vacuuming performance on bare floors as well as high and low-pile carpets.
4. Eufy RoboVac g30
Eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of making robot vacuums that strike a good balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors and mopping functions as well as carpets at a reasonable price. It's easy to set up, simply attach one of the side brushes, turn it on and connect your charging dock. The app takes you through several steps to connect it to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. The dock should be placed near an outlet and have plenty of room to move.
The G30 is a tiny device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, meaning it is able to be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design is more subtle compared to some rival models. It is sleek with a black finish and three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral pattern over two minutes), Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.
The way that the G30 cleans is what separates it from other models. It uses a built-in map to create an image of the immovable objects it encounters while retaining what it's cleaned and where it can't access. When it needs to recharge, it automatically returns to its base and resumes cleaning from where it left off.
The sleek G30 has a few issues. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring expenses, charges faster and offers similar battery life. It also offers better performance on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't require to be emptied as often and comes with a set of boundaries that restrict it from certain areas. The G30 is, however is less expensive and much more manageable to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't require as frequent emptying and it has less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
