1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. Its greatest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste many other robots are unable to avoid (and often plough right through). It's also the first to automatically send you a picture of any object it encounters so that you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

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

Its design is also an improvement over the rest, with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to remove dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place rather than scattering it around the floor. It even could capture sand and small gravel, which most other robots couldn't do. It did all this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.

The j7+, while not as intelligent as the Roomba S9 for $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, is still a good option for those who need both mopping and vacuum. 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 than other robotic cleaner applications. It can take a long time to download updates, and sometimes it's hard to determine if the update is actually functioning until you've seen it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, your most effective option is likely to be one that is a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a tank of water so they can mop and remote vacuum cleaner simultaneously.

They're expensive at full retail but often come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock has some of our top robot vacuum robot vacuums and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's their most affordable auto-empty model, and although it lacks some of the premium features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great option if you're willing sacrifice a little to save hundreds of dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles such as wall legs and table legs and walls, which makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning dust bunnies. This is a place where many cheaper robot vacuums aren't able to meet. The Q5+'s navigation system is superb, with only a few mishaps along walls and in corners.

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

If you select the Q5+ 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 without difficulty. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't required for everyone, however it can help you to 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 incredibly clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design and features are some of the best robot floor cleaner on the market however it's expensive.

The base station looks nice and is easily hidden when not in use, and the size is relatively compact. The main reason to buy the station is that it can automate many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots would leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Most other robovacs will require this.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tried that does a good job picking up debris from bare floors. And it's not as loud as the expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable as other robot vacuum deals black friday vacuums. This means it could get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the house. It can't navigate stairs as well as some competitors, either and doesn't come with a dock that allows you to create an exclusive cleaning zone for plush carpets.

Although it doesn't have the same amount of cleaning options available in its app or as many shortcuts in the app like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for anyone seeking a great all-round robot vacuum and mop that's worth the premium price price.

If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost significantly less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance, is cheaper and offers the same experience in the app, but with more features like stairs, a fully-function dock, and superior overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high and low-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums with the right combination of features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpeted floors, as well as mopping capabilities for a low cost. It's easy to set it up, simply attach one of the side brush, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock must be located near an outlet and have plenty of room to move.

The G30 is a tiny device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, so it is able to be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious in comparison to other models. It features a sleek black finish with three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs a spot 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 main characteristic that distinguishes the G30 apart from most competitors is the method it cleans. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of the immovable objects it encounters, remembering what it's already cleaned and what it isn't able to access. It then returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning the area it left.

The eufy G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges faster and has a similar battery life while offering superior performance on floors that are unfinished and low-pile carpet. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn't require to be emptied as often and comes with an array of boundaries to ensure it isn't in certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't have to be emptied as often and has less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
