Now is your chance to own a robot vacuum. CNET's top-rated models will be available during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with discounts up to 57%..

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that has smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its run time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties itself and automatically refills its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its most notable innovation is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. This uses AI to detect objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you a photo of an object it encounters so that you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the best inexpensive robot vacuum robot mop we have ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills easily leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. It can schedule cleanings and 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 it and stop it by voice.

The design is also superior to the other models. It features a sleek, top piece that looks like an toy, not the loud and annoying robot. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ was quick to removed dust, dirt, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place, rather than scattering it around the floor. It even was able to catch small gravel and sand that other robots aren't able to do. It did all this without getting tangled up in our pet's hair shedding.

The j7+, though not as sophisticated as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying vacuum bot from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who need both a vacuum and a mop. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that utilize robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates and it can be difficult to tell whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean your floors, a hybrid is the ideal choice. These bots are equipped with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also come with various additional features like smart mapping and small object avoidance and the ability to wash and re-dry mopping pads. They are expensive at retail, but they often lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock is one of our favorite robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. This is the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it doesn't have some of the more luxurious features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) but it's an excellent choice when you're willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is extremely gentle when it comes down to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it an excellent option 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 fall short. The Q5+'s navigation system is superb, with only a few mishaps on walls and corners.

The Q5+, like other Roborock products can be controlled with only a few buttons on your device, or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleaning or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones and alter your home map, or re-label rooms.

If you decide to go with the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock designed specifically to make this machine easy to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, but once it's installed emptying the bin can be done easily. It also has an impressive LCD display that is great to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't required for everyone, but it can help effectively keep track of the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot vacuum and mop that's impressively intelligent in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is among the most innovative in the market however it's quite expensive.

It's a tiny base station that looks great and is easily hidden when not in use. The main reason to buy the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It can store dirty and clean water, and then electrolyze and heat the water. The majority of other robots require you to do this.

Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive, too. 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 costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, meaning it can get stuck or confused in certain areas of the home. It's not able to climb stairs as well as competitors, either and doesn't come with an dock that allows you to create a dedicated cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.

Although it doesn't provide as many in terms of cleaning configuration options in its app, or as many in-app shortcuts as other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those looking for an all-around great robot vacuum and mop that's worth the premium price price.

But if you want to save money, or just don't care about the limitations of this robotic there are many other options on the market which include a variety of eufy models for significantly less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is less expensive, but offers many more features, like stair climbing and a full-function Dock, that provides the ability to provide a more thorough 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 long history of creating robot vacuums with the right combination of features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality automated cleaning of hard floors and mopping functions as well as carpets at an affordable price point. It's easy to setup by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app walks you through a few steps to connect to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to place the dock near an outlet for power and enough space for it to move around however.

The G30 is a small device that measures 2.85 inches in height, so it is able to fit under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is a little less ostentatious than some rival models, sporting sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge and Spot Clean (which cleans the area in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.

The way in which the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from other models. It uses an integrated map to make an image of the unmovable items in its path. It keeps track of what it has already cleaned and what it is unable to access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its base and resumes cleaning from where it left off.

The sleek G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged faster and has a similar battery life, while providing better performance on floors with no carpet and low-pile carpet. It comes with a larger dust bin, which doesn't require as much emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30, however, is more affordable and a lot easier to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't have to be empty as often, and it has less difficulty with bulky items like cereal.
