1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its most significant advancement is an obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often slough through). It's also the first to automatically send you photos of an object it encounters to let you know to avoid it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we have ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills quickly and leaves no trace of it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. It can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't vacuum in areas you don’t wish to. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start and stop it by speaking to it.

Its design is also superior to the rest with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy robotic than a loud, obnoxious one. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System automatically empty and is ideal for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place, rather than scattering it around the automatic floor vacuum. It was able to collect sand, small gravel and even a little grit. The majority of robots cannot accomplish this feat. It did all this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.

Although it's not as smart as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs, the j7+ is still an excellent option for those who need mopping and a vac in their home. It's not too expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates, and sometimes it's difficult to know whether the update actually working until you see it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the best robot hoover option is probably a hybrid. This kind of robot usually includes a built-in water tank that allows them to vacuum and mop your home simultaneously. These bots also come with a variety of extra features like smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The downside is that they tend to be expensive at retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.

Roborock makes some of our top robot vacuums and the Q5+ isn't an exception. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. While it may not include some of the premium features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories), it's still an excellent choice for those who are willing to compromise to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies, which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is fantastic and has very few misses in corners and along walls.

The Q5+, just like other Roborock products, can be controlled by only a few buttons on your device, or via the Roborock App. With 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 labels of rooms.

If you decide to go with the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock specifically designed to make the machine easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once in place the process of emptying the bin is relatively easy. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This isn't an essential feature for the majority of people, but it's one that will assist you in keeping track of your robot's maintenance intervals effortlessly.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly intelligent in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design and functionality are among the top available - but it's also pricey.

The base station is attractive and is easily hidden when not in use, and its dimensions are quite small. The station's main selling point is that it can automate many tasks, chores and functions that other robots leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water, and then electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require you to do this.

Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's one of the few robovacs I've tested that does an excellent job of collecting debris from bare floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly in terms of navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs, which means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the home. It also can't climb stairs as well as other models and isn't equipped with a docking station to create a cleaning area for carpets that are soft.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for a robot vacuum that does everything.

However, if you're looking to save money or simply don't care about the limitations of this machine, there are plenty of alternatives available, including a lot of eufy models priced considerably less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for example, is cheaper and offers the same experience in the app, but with more features, including stairs, a fully-function dock, and better overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high- and low-pile carpets.

4. Eufy best robovac g30

Eufy, an Anker company is a long-standing leader of making robot vacuums that strike the right balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for hard and carpeted flooring, and a mopping function at a reasonable price. It's easy to set up, just snap on one of the side brush, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. It is recommended to keep the dock near an electrical outlet and enough space for it to move but.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be exact It can be tucked away under couches and other low-clearance furniture. Its design is less ostentatious compared to some rival models. It is sleek with a black finish with three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the 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 routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.

The most important feature that sets the G30 apart from most competitors is the method it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable items in its path. It keeps track of what it has already cleaned and where it cannot access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its starting point and begins cleaning where it left off.

The sleek G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges faster and has a similar battery life, while providing better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't need to be emptied as frequently and comes with an array of boundaries that keep it away from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller size means that it doesn't need to be empty as often and it's less difficulty with bulky items like cereal.
