1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s smartest robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. Its greatest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often slough through). It's the first robot to provide you with a picture of an object that it encounters, so you can instruct that it is safe to avoid it.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ swiftly removed dust, dirt, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes held the debris in place rather than scattering it around the floor. It even could catch small gravel and sand that other robots couldn't do. And all this without getting tangled up in our pet's hair shed.

While it's not quite as smart as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the j7+ is still a solid option for those who need mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not too expensive, and Vacuum Deals 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 some time to download updates, and often it's difficult to tell whether the update is functioning until you've seen it in the action.

It can store dirty and clean water and also electrolyze and warm the water. The majority of other robots require you to do this.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's the only robovac I've tested that does an excellent job of removing debris from bare floors. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

But the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially when it comes to navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs.
