However, it does not have the ability to map and other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum features powerful motors and multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to ensure your home is truly clean.

The only negative that we have found with this model is that it takes a bit longer to charge than some of the other models we've looked at, and the two included hand vac attachments don't fit in the base, and they can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not only a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner It also functions as a camera for monitoring your home.

It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surroundings and find objects. It then either navigates around them or marks them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature isn't present on other robots, which makes the Samsung an extremely safe option for your home.

On the other hand this model doesn't perform well with spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice particles on carpet with a low pile and deebot robot vacuum then sending the robot in to clean. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result, given that other models performed better in the test.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features at half the cost.
