2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with lots of features. It offers a long-lasting run time and it is able to clean carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It has a good app that works well used with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls found in more expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum features powerful motors and multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to ensure your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, as well as a lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can even be programmed to operate a single room or set of rooms in scheduled intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning that were stopped midway through.

The shark ai robot vacuum ION is very good in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it has a difficult time to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It can also get caught under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and has a runtime of 90 minutes.

This heavy duty robot vacuum's easy-to-use user interface is among its most appealing features. You can either press the round button on the top of the unit to start a cleaning, or launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. Once you've done that, the app will tell you the battery level and status of the vacuum as well as if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that a lot of users liked about this model is its ability to work with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using a simple voice command, and you can also use the app to schedule cleaning times. The only issue we have found with this model is that it takes a little longer to charge than some of the other models that we've reviewed, and the two hand vac attachments can't fit in the base, and they can get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum in the market, this Samsung model also functions as a camera for home monitoring. It has a camera that which you can access through your smartphone, and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can create a schedule to have it patrol your home while you're away. This is a great option for pet owners who shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a range of features, including object recognition, home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin and five layers of filtration. It's a good option for those looking for a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors, but doesn't mind a bit of dust on carpets.

One of the best features of this robot is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and identify items. It either navigates around the object or mark it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't present on other robots, which makes the Samsung an extremely safe choice for your home.

On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice grains on carpets with low pile and sending the robot to clean. The robot was unable move or pick up the rice grains. This is a sour result in light of the fact that other models did better in the test.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a highly rated robotic vacuum that provides the same features at half the cost.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot as well as other Samsung smart products. The process of setting up is simple with the app prompts that guide you through the process. The app allows you to view the map, create cleaning schedules, modify suction, select no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin needs to be empty.
