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 or bare floors. It also comes with a useful app that works well with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls that are found in higher-priced competitors.

It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions and an lower cliff sensor that prevents the quietest robot vacuum from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms on a regular basis.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is among its greatest features. You can use the round button on the top of the unit to start cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and clean issue the command.

Many customers also liked the fact that this robotic can be controlled by Alexa. This 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 bit longer to charge than some of the other models we've looked at, and the two included hand clean vac attachments don't fit into the base and could be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum, this Samsung model can also be used as a camera for home monitoring.

This br151 robot vacuum's advanced obstacle avoidance is one of its best features. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and detect objects. Then, it either navigates around them or marks them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature isn't present on other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure choice for your home.

On the other hand this model isn't able to do very well on spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered on it. The robot was unable move or pick up the rice grains. This is a sour result, given that other models performed better in the test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality and performance at a lower cost. For instance, you can purchase a top-rated robot vacuum with similar features for half the price of the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
