20 Fun Facts About Robot Vacuum Deals

Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

This is your time to own a robot vacuum. CNET's best cheap robot vacuum-rated models will be available for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts as high as 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot with smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its 180-minute running time is impressive. It also automatically refills and self-empties its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes, and the pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often plough right through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you photos 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 we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills easily, leaving no trace that it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app, which lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't clean areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it by voice.

Its design is also superior to the rest with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy than a loud, obnoxious one. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying and is ideal for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to remove dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in its place rather than scattering it around the floor. It even could take small gravel and sand, which most other robots can't. And all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's hair shed.

While it's not quite as efficient as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the j7+ is still a solid option for those who require both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner applications. It can take a long time to download updates, and sometimes it's difficult to know whether the update is functioning until you've seen it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you're looking for a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, the best inexpensive robot vacuum choice is probably hybrid. These bots are equipped with a tank of water so they can vacuum and mop simultaneously. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and even the capability to dry and wash mopping pads. The downside is that they tend to be expensive when purchased at full retail, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday they are often reduced in price.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ doesn't disappoint. This is their least expensive auto vacuum cleaner-empty model, and while it lacks some of the premium features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still a great option if you're willing compromise a bit in order to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is exceptionally soft when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it a great option for homes with lots of furniture. It is also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is a area where many robot vacuums that are less expensive fall short. The Q5+'s navigation system is excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled by a handful of buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. With the app you can start and stop cleaning, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones and alter your home map, or re-label rooms.

If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto vacuum cleaner-emptying dock that's designed to make the robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's in place the process of emptying the bin is easy. It features a large LCD screen that is very useful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This isn't a necessity for everyone but it will aid in keeping track of your Robot vacuum cleaner amazon (douerdun.com)'s maintenance intervals with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a sophisticated well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of both vacuuming and mopping. Its design and function are some of the most advanced available however, it's also expensive.

Its base station looks good and is hidden when it's not in use, and its size is relatively compact. The main reason to buy the station is that it automates many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots would leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot fully charged and clean.

And its vacuuming is impressive as well. It's the only robovac that I've tried that does a good job picking up debris from bare floors. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain areas of your home. It's also unable to climb stairs like other models and doesn't come with a dock to create a cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.

While it doesn't offer the same amount of cleaning-related options in its app, or as many shortcuts within the app like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for anyone seeking a great all-round mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the higher price price.

If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are other options available. Many of the eufy models cost substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for example is less expensive and provides a similar in-app experience with more features, including stair climbing, a full-function dock, and a better overall performance when vacuuming floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company with an established track record of making robot vacuum cleaner industrial vacuums that have the right balance of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning of hard floors and carpets and mopping function too at an affordable price point. It's easy to set it up, simply snap on one of the side brushes, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps required to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock will need to be located near an outlet and have plenty of space to move.

The G30 is a small device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, so it can be tucked away under couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is less ostentatious than some rival models, with a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which cleans the area in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). 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 differentiates it from its competitors. It makes use of an integrated map to make a picture of the immovable items in its path. It keeps track of the items it has cleaned and where it cannot access. When it needs to recharge, it returns to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it left off.

The eufy G30 isn't without its faults however. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, offers the same battery life and performs better on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It has a larger dust bin, which doesn't require more emptying. It also comes with boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't need to be emptied as often and has less difficulty handling bulky products such as cereal.
