Black Friday Robot Vacuum Deals

BOSTON -- Whether you are buying one for your loved ones or yourself, there are many Black Friday robot vacuums to choose from. From self-emptying vacuums that are smart to ones that mop, a range of brands are offering discounts.

Some highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock at Walmart and an Amazon best-seller that can detect pet poop, stay clear of the ledges and stairs and even schedule cleanings from your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo j5+ is the most recent 2-in-1 model from iRobot's top-of-the-line line and comes with both vacuuming and mopping functionality. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it get smarter over time and creates the Smart Map of your flooring. It allows you to name your rooms, create cleaning schedules and designate no-mop areas for your carpets. It can detect obstacles and objects with iRobot’s new obstacle avoidance tech. It can also detect all carpet types, from low-pile to thick and then adjust its cleaning mode to suit.

Like the Irobot Vacuum Combo j7+, this model comes with Power-Lifting Suction and is specifically designed for vacuuming and mopping. It has separate bins for dirt, and a combo mop/vacuuming bin that you fill with water or a liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches from vacuuming to mopping mode based on its bin contents.

Utilizing the iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful suction to keep your floors clean. This mode also makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to clean the robot's dirty bin, allowing you to enjoy a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also has a separate power button that lets you immediately switch between mopping and vacuuming.

The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and set up your robot. You can create a personalized home cleaning schedule with just a few taps. You can also view the status of your robot and monitor it remotely.

You can make use of your smartphone to begin a cleaning session or even make it a command using your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, making it more easy to connect with your existing smart home devices. It comes with pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner official promise) which helps keep away from pet messes. This is a great option for pet owners who would like the convenience of robotic vacuums and mops.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with an impressive amount of features for the money. It has a long-running time and does a fantastic job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It's a great app and works well when combined with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls that are found in higher-priced competitors.

This robotic vacuum has an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is spotless. It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions and an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms at regular intervals.

The Shark ION is extremely effective in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it is unable to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.

One of the best things about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. You can either use the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. After you've completed that, the app will tell you the current battery level and the status of the vacuum and also if it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.

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

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not only a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera to monitor your home. It comes with a lens that accessible via your smartphone and is built to monitor your home's surroundings. You can also set up a schedule for when you would like it to monitor your home while you are away. This is great for pet owners who shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a range of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-emptying dirt bin, and five layers of filtration. It's an excellent option for those who want an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors, but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.

One of the most impressive features of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and identify objects. It either navigates around the object or mark it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't found on many other robots and makes the Samsung an extremely safe choice for your home.

On the other hand this model isn't able to do very well at spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice grains across low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The machine did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not remove any of them. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that provides similar features for half the price.

As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled through the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy using the app's instructions. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules and suction power settings and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows you the current status of the robot and when the dustbin needs to be empty.

4. Manvins Robot vacuum mop robot cleaner & Mop Combo

If you're not ready to invest in a dedicated robot vacuum and separate mop, this one-stop model could be just what you're looking for. It's currently available for half price and features four different cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty, and the mopping tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (7 ounces).

Last year, we tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely efficient on low-pile as well as hard floors. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which uses a grid-like pattern to cleanse every corner of your home, is able to also recognize stairs. It also comes with a remote control, which allows you to easily alter the settings.

It also works with voice commands. You can begin and stop a cleaning process through an app for your tablet or irobot Vacuum phone. The app allows you to define a cleaning routine and choose a cleaning mode. The battery lasts for 100 minutes and the robot then returns to its base to recharge after every cleaning session or when the power is depleted.

This robot vac mop is a great option for busy families. It's on sale for more than half of the original price. It has a 4.5-star customer rating and uses an intelligent cleaning system that uses a 3-step cleaning process to ensure that your home is clean. It is able to detect pet hair and dander which makes it an ideal choice for households with pets.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops work with smartphone applications. These apps allow you to save maps of your home and create custom cleaning programs, and manage your machine. Some models also have smart mopping pads that can dry in between uses, which can help keep bacteria and mildew from forming on your floor.

The compact design of the vacuum-mop combination allows it to fit into corners and under furniture, while its complete range of sensors effortlessly avoids obstacles and stairs. The mopping pad is fitted with triple HEPA filter technology, as well as an application that integrates it. This will prevent dust particles from entering the air in your home.
