Black Friday Robot Vacuum Deals

Boston- Whether you're grabbing one for yourself or someone on your list, there are a lot of early Black Friday robot vacuum deals to avail. There are discounts on a range of items that include self-emptying vacuums as well as ones that mop.

A few highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock available at Walmart and an Amazon bestseller that can spot pet poop, avoid steps and ledges, and even schedule cleanings from your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo J5+, the most recent 2-in-1 model in iRobot’s high-end range, has vacuuming and mopping features. It's powered by iRobot OS which makes it smarter over time and creates an outline of your floors. This allows you to label rooms and create cleaning schedules as well in defining no-mop zones for your carpets. It utilizes vSLAM navigation, and can detect obstacles and objects thanks to iRobot's new obstacle avoidance technology. It is also able to detect all types of carpets, from low-pile to thick, and adjust its cleaning mode to suit.

Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model has Power-Lifting suction and is specifically designed for mopping and vacuuming. It comes with a separate dirt bin and another mop/vacuuming combination bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or lidar robot vacuum water. The robot will automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode depending on the contents of the bin.

Utilizing 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 clear the robot's dirt bin, giving you a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also has an individual power button that lets you immediately switch between mopping and vacuuming.

The iRobot Home App makes it easy to set up and use up your robot. You can create a customized home cleaning plan by just a few clicks. You can also track your robot from afar and see its current status.

You can make use of your smartphone to begin a cleaning session or even command it with your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This makes it easier to pair your smart home devices. It is equipped with the pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner's official promise), which helps it avoid pet messes. This is a great option for pet owners looking to enjoy the convenience of a robot vacuum and mop.

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 run time and does a great job of cleaning carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls found in higher-priced competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to make sure your home is truly clean. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions and an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms at regular intervals.

The Shark ION is very good at cleaning bare floors. However, it has a difficult time to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets caught under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions, and has a runtime of 90 minutes.

One of the great things about this robot is its easy-to-use interface. You can either use the round button on the top of the unit to begin a cleaning, or launch the Shark ION App on your phone and give the command. After you've completed that, the app will display the level of battery and status of the vacuum as well as if it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Many customers also liked the fact that this robot works with Alexa. The vacuum can be turned off and on with a simple voice command. You can also schedule cleaning times using the app. The only negative that we found with this robot is that it takes 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 be lost quite easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not just a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera for monitoring your home. It comes with a lens that which you can access through your phone, and is designed to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can create a timer to watch your home even when you are gone. This is great for pets that shed or if you wish to keep an eye out for anyone who is sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features, including object recognition home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtering. It's a great choice for those who want a premium model that is able to clean hard floors, but who don't mind some dust on carpets.

One of the greatest attributes of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and locate objects. It then either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on many other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe option for your home.

On the other hand, this model doesn't do very well on spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice particles on low-pile carpet and sending the robot to clean. The machine did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and failed to take any of them. This is a sour result considering that other models did better in the tests.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for less. For instance, you could find a top-rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for half the cost with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

The SmartThings application is used to control the robot vacuum for stairs, as well as other Samsung smart products. The setup process is simple with the app prompts that guide you through it. The app allows you to view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, select no-go areas and also manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot and when the dustbin should be emptied.

4. Manvins Lidar robot vacuum Vacuum and Mop Combo

This all-in-one vacuum is the perfect solution for people who aren't quite willing to invest in a robot vacuum and separate mop. This model is available for less than half the price and features four cleaning modes. The vacuum dust bin is easy to empty and the mopping tank holds up to 200 milliliters (or 7 pounds).

We tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and discovered that it was able to perform well on hard floors and carpets with low pile. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which utilizes a grid-like design to clean every corner of your home, is able to also recognize stairs. It also comes with the option of a remote control, which allows you to easily adjust the settings.

It can also be controlled by voice. You can initiate and stop a cleaning cycle through an app for your tablet or phone. The app also lets you set a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The battery lasts for 100 minutes and the robot then returns to its base to charge after each cleaning session, or if the power is not sufficient.

This robotic vac mop is a great choice for busy families. It's currently on sale at more than half off its original price. It has a 4.5-star customer rating and uses an intelligent cleaning system that utilizes a 3-step cleaning process to ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned. It is able to detect pet hair and dander. Therefore, it is a great choice for families with pets.

Most modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with smartphones, which let you save maps of your home and schedule your own cleaning schedule and control the functions of your machine. Some models also come with smart mopping pads that can dry in between uses, which can help to stop mildew and fungi from forming on your flooring.

The slim design of the vacuum-mop combination allows it to fit into corners and under furniture. Its entire suite of sensors can gracefully dodge obstacles and steps. The mopping pad is fitted with triple HEPA filter technology and an app that integrates it. This will prevent dust particles from entering the air in your home.
