1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's smartest robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its greatest innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste that most other robots can't avoid (and often go through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you a picture of the object it comes across so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop that we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills effortlessly and leaves no trace of it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. It can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't clean in areas that you don't wish to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it using voice.

The design is also better than the competition. It has an elegant, top piece that looks like an toy, not an obnoxious and loud robot. Clean Base's best automatic vacuum Dirt Disposal System is also self-emptying which can cut down on cleaning time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place instead of scattering it on the floor. It was able to capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a tiny bit of grit. Most robots could not do this. It did all without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

The j7+, while not as intelligent as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, is an excellent choice for those who need both mopping and vacuum. It's not costly and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly, we've found it to be less reliable than other applications that work with robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and often it's hard to determine if the update is actually working until you see it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking to purchase a robot vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be one that is a hybrid. This type of robot vacuum cleaner quiet typically comes with a built-in tank for water which means they can vacuum and mop your house simultaneously. These bots also come with many additional features, including smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be expensive when purchased at full retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.

Roborock is one of our most loved robot vacuums, and the Q5+ isn't an exception. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. Although it doesn't have some of the more premium features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent choice when you're willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is extremely soft when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it a great choice for homes that have lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in cleaning dust bunnies, which is a problem where cheaper robot vacuums often fail. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is superb as well, with only a few misses in corners and on walls.

Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled using a few buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. Through the app, you can start and stop cleaning, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, and modify your home map or change the labeling of rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+ it comes with a brand new auto-emptying dock that's designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's in place, emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also has an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when you're setting up schedules or adjusting settings. This feature isn't necessary for most people however it can help you easily keep track of the robot vacuum price's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a sophisticated well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of both vacuuming and mopping. Its design is one of the top in the market, but it's expensive.

It's a small base station that looks great and is able to be concealed when not in use. The station's main selling point is that it automates many tasks, chores and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's one of the only robovacs that I've tried that does a really good job of picking up debris on unfinished floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially when it comes to navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of your home. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a docking station to create a cleaning area for carpets with plush padding.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum cleaner industrial vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who want a vacuum robot that can do it all.

If you're looking to cut costs or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are many other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and offers a similar in-app experience with more features like stairs, a fully-function dock, and superior overall performance when vacuuming floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, a Anker company, has a track record of making robot vacuums robot that strike a good balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of hard and carpeted floors, as well as mopping capabilities at an affordable price. It's easy to setup by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch it on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock should be placed close to an outlet that has plenty of space to move.

The G30 is a compact device that measures 2.85 inches in height, meaning it will fit under most couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design is less ostentatious compared to some rival models. It has a sleek black finish and three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The way the G30 cleans is what separates it from other models. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of immovable objects it encounters and then keeps track of what it has already cleaned and what it isn't able to access. If it requires a recharge, it will automatically return to its base and resumes cleaning from where it left off.

The sleek G30 isn't without its faults however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges faster and offers similar battery life. It also offers better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn't need to be emptied as often and comes with the boundaries to keep it away from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't have to be emptied as frequently and has less difficulty handling bulky products like cereal.
