1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most intelligent robot vacuum near me to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest innovation is its camera-based obstacle detection system. It makes use of AI to recognize objects such as charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to send you images of objects that it encounters, so you can instruct the robot to avoid it.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop that we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills effortlessly and leaves no trace of it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. It can schedule cleanings and even create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean in areas you don't would like. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop using your voice.

The design is also more appealing than the other models. It features a sleek, high-end piece that appears like an toy, not the loud and annoying robot. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System automatically empty, which is great for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ quickly took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in its place rather than scattering it around the floor. It even was able to catch small gravel and sand which other robots can't. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

The j7+, although not as intelligent as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who need both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive, and the iRobot application makes it user-friendly to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other apps that work with robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates and it's sometimes difficult to tell if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that does more than simply clean your floors, a hybrid is the ideal choice. This type of robot typically comes with a built-in tank for water, meaning they can both vacuum and mop your house simultaneously. They also come with a variety of extra features like smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The negative is that they can be expensive when purchased at full retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. This is their least expensive auto-empty model, and while it doesn't have certain features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still an excellent choice if you're willing to sacrifice a little to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is a place where many robot vacuums that are less expensive do not excel in. The Q5+'s navigation system is top-quality, with a few misses on walls and corners.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled by the buttons on the device or through the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones, modify your home map or re-label rooms.

If you choose the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto emptying dock that is designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver for install, but once it's installed, the process of emptying the bin is simple. It has a large LCD screen that is very useful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This isn't a necessity for everyone, but it's one that can aid in keeping track of the maintenance intervals for your robot with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a smart, well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design is among the best robot cleaner in the industry, but it's expensive.

It's a tiny base station that looks beautiful and is able to be concealed when not in use. The station's most appealing feature is the way it automatizes various tasks and functions that most other robots will leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tested that does an excellent job of collecting debris from unfinished floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly in the area of navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the home. It's not able climb stairs as well as some competitors, for instance and it doesn't have an dock that allows you to set up an exclusive cleaning zone for plush carpets.

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

If you're looking for a way to save money or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options on the market. Many eufy models cost substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is less expensive however it comes with more features, Robot Vacuum Deals such as stair climbing and a full-function Dock, which provides a better overall vacuuming experience on floors that are unfinished carpets, low-pile carpets and even high-pile ones.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of making robot vacuums that strike the right balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for carpets and hard flooring, and a mopping function at an affordable price. It's easy to setup, just snap one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps required to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock will need to be placed near an outlet with enough space to move.

The G30 is a tiny device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, meaning it is able to be placed under most couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious compared to some rival models. It features a sleek black finish with three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral pattern over two minutes) Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. 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 sets it apart from its rivals. It makes use of an integrated map to create a picture of the immovable objects in its path. It remembers the things it has cleaned and where it cannot access. If it requires a recharge, it automatically returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it began.

The eufy G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better constructed, has lower recurring costs, is charged more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers better performance on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't need to be empty as often and comes with the boundary strips to ensure it isn't in certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't require as frequent emptying and it has less trouble with bulky material like cereal.
