Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

This is your chance to own a robotic vacuum. CNET's top-rated models will be on sale 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 180-minute running time is impressive. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's smartest robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. Its most notable innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It makes use of AI to detect objects like charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to provide you with pictures of the objects that it encounters, so you can instruct the robot to stay clear of it.

The Combo j7+ is also the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't sweep areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it by voice.

Its design is 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 automatic floor cleaning machine Dirt Disposal System self-empties and is ideal to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to clean up dust, dirt and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in its place instead of scattering it on the floor robot. It was able capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a little grit. Most robots can't achieve this feat. It did all this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

The j7+, while not as sophisticated as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot and can't clean the stairs, is still an option for those who want both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a long time to download updates, and often it's hard to determine whether the update actually working until you've seen it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the best robot vacuum black friday option is probably hybrid. This kind of robot usually comes with a built-in tank for water that allows them to vacuum and mop your home at the same time. These bots also have a variety of extra features such as smart mapping and small object avoidance and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ does not fail to impress. It's their cheapest auto-empty model, and although it doesn't have some of the premium features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great choice if you're willing to sacrifice a little to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is notably gentle around obstacles such as tables and walls and walls, which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in getting rid of dust bunnies which is a place which many robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few missing in corners and along walls.

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 cleanings, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, and adjust your home map, or change the labels of rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-emptying dock, designed to make this robot vacuum cleaner black friday easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, however, once it's in place it can be done with relative ease. It features a large LCD screen that is very useful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't necessary for everyone, but it can help you to keep track of the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a sophisticated, well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of mopping and vacuuming. Its design is among the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.

It is a relatively small base station that looks stunning and can be hidden when not in use. The station's most appealing factor is its ability to automate various tasks and functions that most other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot clean and charged.

And its vacuuming is impressive, too. It's the only robovacs that I've tested that does a really good job of picking up debris on plain floors, and is not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, meaning it can get stuck or confused in certain areas of your home. It's not able to climb stairs as well as competitors, for instance and it doesn't have a dock that allows the user to set up an exclusive cleaning zone for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who want an automated vacuum that can do everything.

If you're looking to cut costs or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance, is cheaper, but offers more features, such as the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, that provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on bare floors carpets with low pile, and even high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, a Anker company, has a track record of making robot cleaning machine vacuums that strike the right balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of hard and carpeted floors, as well as mopping functions for a low cost. It's simple to set up, simply attach one of the side brush and then turn it on. Then plug in your charging dock. The app walks you through several steps to connect it to Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. The dock must be placed close to an outlet that has enough space to move.

The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, so it will be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces 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 fashion over two minutes), Recharge and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The primary characteristic that sets the G30 apart from its competitors is the method it cleans. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of the non-movable objects that are in its path while retaining what it's cleaned and what it isn't able to access. When it's time to recharge, it automatically returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning from where it started.

The elegant G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges faster and offers similar battery life. It also offers better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't require to be empty as often and comes with the boundary strips to keep it away from certain areas. The G30 on the other hand is less expensive and a lot easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky materials like cereal.
