2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with plenty of features for the money. It has a long running time and is able to clean both bare floors and carpeted rooms. It is a great app that works well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. However, it lacks the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller to reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as a lower cliff sensor that prevents the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms on a regular basis.

The Shark ION is extremely effective in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it is unable to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It is also prone to getting caught under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles and it has a runtime of up to 90 minutes.

The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is one of its best robot vacuum and mop features. You can use the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to initiate cleaning, or Top Rated simply launch the Shark ION App on your phone and give the command. Once you've done that, the app will tell you the battery level and status of the vacuum as well as whether it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another feature that many customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using a simple voice command, and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only issue we found with this robot is that it takes a little longer to charge than the other models that we've examined, and that the two included hand vac attachments don't fit inside the base and can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model also functions as a home surveillance camera. It has a lens you can access via your phone and is built to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can create a timer to watch your home when you're away. This is great if you have pets shed or you wish to be watching for any criminals.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a variety of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin and five layers of filtering. It's a great choice for people who want a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors, but does not mind a little dust on carpets.

One of the greatest attributes of this robot is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surrounding area and identify items. It then 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 the most secure option for your home.

On the other hand this model doesn't perform well with spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered across it. The robot did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not remove any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have done better in this test.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that provides the same features at half the cost.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot, like other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple with the help of in-app instructions. The app lets you view the map, set the cleaning schedules and suction power settings and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings.
