1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its greatest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste many other robots are unable to avoid (and often plough right through). It's the first robot to provide you with a picture of an object that it encounters, meaning you can tell the robot to avoid it.

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

Its design is also an improvement over the rest with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal System also self cleaning vacuum cleaner-empties, which will cut down your cleaning time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place, rather than scattering it around the floor. It was able to capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a bit of grit. Most robots could not achieve this feat. It did this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.

The j7+, although not as sophisticated as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ self cleaning vacuum cleaner-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot, and cannot clean the stairs, is an option for those who need both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use however, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that use robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates and it's sometimes difficult to tell whether they're working until you actually see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum cleaner that can do more than simply clean your floors then a hybrid is the best smart vacuum option. These machines are equipped with a water tank, so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. They also come with various additional features like smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. They are expensive at full retail but often come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock has some of our most loved robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. It's their cheapest auto-empty model, and although it lacks some of the premium features found on higher-end 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 a few hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like table legs and walls and walls, which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is an area where many cheaper robot vacuums can really fall short. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is fantastic too, with very little missed corners and along walls.

The Q5+, as with other Roborock products can be controlled via just a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock App. The app allows you to start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, modify your home map or re-label the rooms.

If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto-emptying dock that's designed to make this robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver however, once it's in place it can be done easily. It has a large LCD screen, which is useful when setting up schedules and altering settings. This feature isn't essential for most people but it can help effectively keep the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot vacuum and mop that's impressively clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design and function are some of the top available however, it's also expensive.

It's a small base station that looks stunning and is easily hidden when not in use. The primary selling point of the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions, and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water, and then electrolyze and heat the water. Many other robots require you to do this.

And its vacuuming is impressive as well. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tried that does a really good job of picking up debris on plain floors, and is not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially when it comes navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means that it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the house. It's not able to climb stairs as well as competitors, either, and it doesn't have a dock that lets you to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for a robot vacuum that does everything.

If you're looking for a way to save money or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are many other options on the market. A lot of eufy models are substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive and has many more features, like stairs and a fully-function Dock, with the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on plain floors, low-pile carpets, and even high-pile ones.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company with an established track record of making robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors as well as mopping, carpets and other surfaces at an affordable price point. It's easy to set up simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. You'll need to leave the dock near a power outlet and enough space for it to move around, however.

The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, so it can fit under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is a little more modest than other models, with sleek black finish and three physical buttons: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs an area in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to do unscheduled cleaning with voice commands.

The most important feature that distinguishes the G30 apart from most competitors is the way it cleans. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of immovable objects in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. It will return to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning where it left off.

The sleek G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, has the same battery life and performs better on bare flooring or carpet with a low pile. It comes with a larger dust bin that does not require as much emptying. It also comes with boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and it has less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
