iRobot Roomba 694"

The Roomba 694 by iRobot is an entry-level robot vacuum that works well on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It is able to suction well however it has trouble with larger debris like grains of rice or sand. It also does a good job at cleaning pet hair however it isn't impervious to tangling as premium Roomba models, such as the j7 or I6.

The Roomba is easy to operate. It has three buttons on its top cover: 'Clean' launches an entire cleaning cycle and 'Dock' allows it to be put back in its charging station and 'Spot Clean' initiates an targeted clean. It can be controlled with an app on your smartphone that lets you schedule or stop/start cycles, as well as adjust settings. You can also connect it with smart home devices like Alexa or Google Assistant for voice-controlled operation.

This vacuum is a little slower than other models, but it is still able to get into the most crevices and corners. It comes with a large bin that makes it easy to empty. It's compatible with digital barriers and virtual barriers that let you make it impossible to clean certain areas or stop cleaning altogether when you want to stop it from getting stuck on something.

Although it's not the top model for its price however, it's superior to many other options. The Roborock E4 has a better cleaning performance than the Roomba 694 and it can clean both carpets with a low pile and bare. It also follows an efficient cleaning route and has a longer battery life. It also feels better-made and has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, costs less to maintain over its life and charges more quickly than the 694.

It's also worth looking at other, more premium models in the iRobot line, such as the 981 or the v7. The 981 and v7 are both more expensive but offer significant improvements in cleaning performance, both on low and bare pile floors. They also have a bigger dirt compartment and charge faster, move more easily, and are easier to pair up with smart home devices.

Shark RV1001AE IQ

This self-emptying robotic vacuum cleaner does a good job on low-pile carpet and hard flooring. Its combo brush reaches into edges and corners, and it automatically increases suction when it detects carpet. It also does a great job of cleaning embedded dirt off carpet in the middle. The IQ has a small footprint and a self-emptying function. If you want to change the floor's levels or define no-go areas, you'll need to manually reset the map.

The IQ's app has some advanced mapping and automation features however, it's not able to access no-go zones which are included on iRobot models. The smart-pathing system of the app allows for superior maneuverability, and the high-pile mode of its carpet cleaning mode is efficient however it can be stuck on the tassels of the rug.

During our tests, the IQ was adept at handling pet hair with ease, removing huge amounts of debris from floors that were not bare and fair amounts on medium-pile carpet. It was a little less efficient on shag carpets, where it struggled to reach dirt and dust that was embedded in the fibers. It did a decent job of maneuvering around chair legs and tight spaces, as well as the wooden base of an IKEA step stool. It was slower on flooring that was not fully covered but it was able to recover speed and performed better than other robots we have test.

The IQ is a better option for most users than the iRobot Roomba. It has a larger dustbin and a longer battery life and is better in navigating around obstacles. It also has a mopping attachment that can tackle sticky mess. The iRobot, on the other hand feels better built and has less components that require maintenance or replacement and has lower ongoing costs, and can even create virtual no go zones using its companion app. It can even resume a cleaning session from where it left off in case it runs out of battery before finishing the job. The iRobot is also controlled by voice, which can be an advantage for many users.

Eufy 11S

The RoboVac 11S by eufy isn't exactly the most feature-rich robot vacuum on the market, but it does offer powerful cleaning capabilities at the price of. It's a budget-friendly option for buyers who don't need a complicated mapping system or an app to control the device. This robot will last for up to an hour. It includes the remote control, cleaning tool, and AC power adapter.

The 11S is slim, sleek, and features a tempered-glass upper deck that appears like the brushed appearance of aluminum. It's a nice departure from Roomba, Samsung, and Neato designs that are more industrial and utilitarian.

In our tests, the eufy 11S was excellent at picking up large particles and fine dust on hard floors. However, it was unable to give high and medium pile carpets a thorough clean. The device is capable to hit furniture and people in its path. However, it can detect these obstacles using sensors. When it encounters them, it stops and lets out a loud beep so you can manually guide it around the obstacle and then get it back to work.

Another excellent feature of the eufy11S is its BoostIQ mode, which allows you to set the robot to automatically adjust the strength of its suction to match the floor type and the level of the mess. The remote control makes it easy to direct the 11S to your desired location.

If you don't have many furniture in the space where you want to vacuum, Single Room Mode is an excellent alternative. The eufy will spend 30 minutes intensely cleaning the area it's assigned to.

Edge Cleaning is another option that can limit the time spent on each area to a maximum of 20 minutes. This will extend the battery's life. This feature allows the eufy to move in a spiraling pattern by cleaning edges and corners.
