2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model with a lot of features. It offers a long-lasting run time and is able to clean carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It also comes with a helpful app and works well with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls found in more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll to penetrate into cracks and corners to ensure your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor prevents the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms at regular intervals.

While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean but it is unable to remove pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting caught in furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and has a runtime of 90 minutes.

The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is among its most appealing features. You can either press the round button on the top of the unit to start a cleaning, or launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. Once you've done that, the app will display the battery level and status of the vacuum and also if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that many customers liked about this robot vacuum black friday is its ability to work with Alexa. This vacuum can be turned off and on by a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times using the app. The only issue we found with this robot is that it takes a bit longer to charge than some of the other models we've examined, and that the two hand vac attachments don't fit into the base and could get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model can also be used as a home surveillance camera. It has a lens you can access via your phone, and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can even set up a timer for when you want it to patrol the home when you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you want to be watching for any criminals.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features, including object recognition, home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtering. It's an excellent option for those looking for an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors, but doesn't mind a bit of dust on carpets.

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most effective features. It makes use of a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and identify objects. It can either navigate around the object or declares it an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature isn't present on other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure choice for your home.

On the other hand this model doesn't perform very well at spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice grains across low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The machine was unable to take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result in light of the fact that other models did better in the tests.

It's also worth noting, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance for a lower cost. For example, you can get a top-rated robot vacuum with similar features for half the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot, as with other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple thanks to in-app prompts. The app lets you look at the map, set cleaning schedules, adjust suction power and select no-go zones and manage other settings.
