The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with lots of features. It has a long running time and is able to clean carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It is a great app that works well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors.

It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions and an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms at regular intervals.

While the Shark ION performs admirably on floors that are clean, it does struggle to remove pet hair and fine debris on carpeted areas. It also gets stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions, and runs for 90 minutes.

The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is among its greatest features. There's a circular cleaning button at the top of the device that you can push to begin a cleaning session or utilize your phone to open the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. After you've completed that, the app will inform you of the battery level and status of the vacuum, and also if it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.

Many customers also loved the fact that this vacuum can be controlled by Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum on and off using the simple voice command and you can use the app to schedule cleaning times. The only negative that we found with this robot is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models we've reviewed, and the two included hand vac attachments can't fit into the base and can get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum robot mop This Samsung model also functions as a home monitoring camera.

It's a great option for those looking for a premium model that can clean hard floors, but who don't mind the occasional dust that gets on carpets.

One of the best features of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and detect objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, which makes the Samsung a very safe choice for your home.

This model isn't very adept at spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered across it. The robot was unable to take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have done better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality and performance at a lower cost. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a highly rated robotic vacuum that offers the same features at half the price.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot, as well as other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple thanks to the app's instructions. The app lets you look at the map, make cleaning schedules, modify suction, choose no-go zones and also manage other settings.
