2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with an impressive amount of features for the price. It has a long-running time and does a great job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It's a great app and is well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls found in the more expensive competitors.

Another thing that a lot of people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. The vacuum can be turned off and on by a simple voice command.

Also, the two hand vac attachments do not fit into the base and are easily lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum This Samsung model can also be used as a home surveillance camera.

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is one of its best features. It utilizes a combination sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and identify objects. Then it either navigates around them or marks them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't present on many other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe option for your home.

On the contrary this model doesn't perform very well on spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice grains on low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result, given that other models did better in the tests.

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