The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most advanced robot to date is the Roomba j7+. The most significant innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It makes use of AI to identify objects such as charging cords and vacuum deals shoes. It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, meaning you can instruct the robot to stay clear of it.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop that we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills effortlessly, leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app, which lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't sweep areas you don't want it to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off using your voice.

The design is also more appealing than the other models. It has a sleek, top piece that resembles toys rather than the loud and annoying robot. The Clean Base automatic vacuum cleaner Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests the j7+ performed quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it around the floor. It was able capture sand, small gravel and even a little grit. Most robots could not do this. And all of this without getting caught in our pet's hair shed.

The j7+, while not as sophisticated as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ self cleaning vacuum cleaner-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot and can't clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who need both mopping and vacuum. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.

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

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean your floors, a hybrid is the best inexpensive robot vacuum choice. This type of robot typically has a built-in water tank which means they can vacuum and mop your home at the same time.

Roborock makes some of our most loved robotic vacuums and the Q5+ does not fail to impress. This is their least expensive auto-empty model, and while it's not equipped with some of the premium features you'll find on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still a great option if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs and walls, which makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It is also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a area where many cheaper robot vacuums do not excel in. The Q5+'s navigation system is excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled by a handful of buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones, and alter your home map or re-label rooms.

If you decide to go with the Q5+, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock specifically designed to make this robot simple to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once installed, the process of emptying the bin is relatively simple. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful in setting up schedules and adjusting settings.

It's a tiny base station that looks stunning and is easily hidden when not in use. But the station's biggest selling feature is the way it automatizes numerous tasks and functions that most other robots will leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tested that does well at picking up the dust from floors with no. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not without flaws, especially when it comes navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means that it could get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the home. It's not able to climb stairs as well as competitors,, and it doesn't have a dock that lets the user to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for carpets with plush padding.

Although it doesn't provide as many in terms of cleaning configuration options in its app or as many shortcuts in the app as other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those seeking a great all-round mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the price tag.

If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are many other options available. Many eufy models cost significantly less.

Eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of making robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors as well as carpets and mopping function too at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up, just connect one of the side brush and turn it on, then connect the charging dock.

Its design is a little more modest than other models, sporting sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge and Spot Clean (which scrubs a space in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). You can also connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.

The way the G30 cleans is what separates it from other models. It makes use of an integrated map to draw an image of the immovable items in its path. It keeps track of what it has already cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. It then returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.

The eufy G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers superior performance on floors that are unfinished and low-pile carpet. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't need to be empty as often and comes with an array of boundary strips to keep it away from certain areas. The G30, however is less expensive and much simpler to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't need to be empty as often, and it has less difficulty handling bulky products such as cereal.
