The robot automatically switches between vacuuming and mopping modes according to the contents of its bins.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with lots of features. It has a long running time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It also comes with a helpful app and works well with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum has an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can penetrate into cracks and corners to ensure your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to help it avoid collisions, and an lower cliff detector to stop the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms at regular intervals.

While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean, it does struggle to pick up pet hair and fine debris on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles and it has a runtime of up to 90 minutes.

One of the most appealing aspects about this robot is its user-friendly interface. There's a circular cleaning button at the top of the device that you can press to begin cleaning, or you can use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. The app will tell you how much battery left and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you if the cleaning session has been completed or not.

Many customers also loved the fact that this vacuum works with Alexa. You can turn this vacuum on and off using a simple voice command, and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only downside we could find with this vacuum is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models that we've reviewed, and the two included hand vac attachments can't fit inside the base and could get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model isn't just an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It has a lens that is accessible via your phone and is designed to watch the surroundings around your home. You can even set up a schedule for when you want it to patrol your home while you are away. This is great if you have pets that shed or if you wish to keep an eye out for anyone sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a premium model that comes with a host of features, including object recognition, home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin, and five layers of filtering. It's an excellent option for those who want an excellent vacuum that performs well on hard floors, but does not mind a little dust on carpets.

One of the greatest characteristics of this cheap robot vacuum cleaner is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and identify items. It can either navigate around the object or marks it as an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature isn't present on other robots, which makes the Samsung a very safe choice for your home.

On the other hand this model isn't able to do well with spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice particles on low-pile carpet and sending the robot to clean. The machine was unable to move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing result given that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be quite expensive when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for less. For instance, you could find a top-rated robotic vacuum that has the same features for half the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

As with other Samsung smart devices, industrial robot vacuum this robot is controlled via the SmartThings app. The setup process is simple with the app prompts that guide you through it. The app lets you view the map, set cleaning schedules, adjust suction power, select no-go zones, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin needs to be emptied.
