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 an excellent job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum is outfitted with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller to get into the corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It comes with bumper sensors that help it avoid collisions, and an lower cliff detector to stop the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms on a regular basis.

The Shark ION is extremely effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it has a difficult time to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It is also prone to getting caught in furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is among its greatest features. You can use the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. The app will then tell you how much battery is left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session has been completed or not.

Many customers also liked the fact that this vacuum can be controlled by Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using an easy voice command, heavy duty robot vacuum and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only issue we have found with this model is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models we've reviewed, and the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit into the base and can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model also functions as a home surveillance camera. It comes with a lens you can access through your smartphone and is designed to watch the surrounding area of your home. You can set a schedule to have it patrol your home while you're away. This is great if you have pets shed or you need to watch for any intrusions.

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

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most impressive features. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and locate objects. It either navigates around the object or declares it a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't present on other robots, which makes the Samsung the most secure option for your home.

This model isn't particularly good in spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered over it. The machine did a fairly poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not pick up any of them. This is a disappointing result given that other models have done better in this test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that provides the same features at half the cost.
