1. iRobot Roomba j7+
The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its most notable innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. It makes use of AI to detect objects such as charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to provide you with a picture of an object that it encounters, so you can tell the robot to stay clear of it.
The Combo J7+ is the best robot floor cleaner robot mop we've ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills effortlessly and leaves no trace of it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. It can schedule cleanings and even create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean in areas that you don't want. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off with your voice.
The design is also superior to the other models. It has a sleek, top piece that resembles a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. Clean Base's automatic hoover robot Dirt Disposal System is also self-emptying which will cut down your cleaning time.
In our tests, we found that the j7+ was quick to eliminated dirt, dust and hair from pets. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place instead of scattering it across the floor. It was able to capture small gravel, sand and even a bit of grit. Most robots could not achieve this feat. It did all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.
The j7+, while not as smart as the Roomba S9 for $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, is a good option for those who want both mopping and vacuum. It's not costly and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.
While the iRobot Home app is very easy to use however, we've found it to be less reliable than other applications that utilize robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and at times it's difficult to know if the update is actually working until you see it in the action.
2. Roborock Q5+
When you're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the best choice is probably one that is a hybrid. These robots come with a water tank so they can vacuum and mop simultaneously. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance and even the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. They are expensive at retail, but usually come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Roborock has some of our top robot vacuums, and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's their cheapest auto-empty model, and while it lacks certain features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great option if you're willing sacrifice a little to save hundreds of dollars.
The Q5+ is noticeable soft around obstacles like tables and walls which makes it an excellent option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning up dust bunnies, which is an area which many robot vacuums can really be a bit sloppy. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is excellent and has very few missing in corners and on walls.
The Q5+, just like other Roborock products, can be controlled by a few buttons on the device or through the Roborock App. Through the app, you can start and stop cleaning or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones, and adjust your home map or change the labels of rooms.
If you opt for the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto emptying dock that is designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's in place the process of emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also comes with a large LCD display, which is nice to have when setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't necessary for everyone, however it can help you effectively keep track of the robot's maintenance schedules.
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 features are some of the top 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 station's main selling point is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions, and chores that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, it 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 capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robot vacuum I've used that has done an excellent job of removing the dust from floors with no. And it's not as loud as the expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.
The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes to navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs, which means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of your home. It's also unable to climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a dock that can create a cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent option for those looking for a robot vacuum that does it all.
However, if you're looking to save some money, or just don't care about the limitations of this robot There are many alternatives available which include a variety of eufy models for considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and provides a similar in-app experience with additional features such as the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and a better overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high- and low-pile carpets.
4. eufy RoboVac g30
eufy is an Anker company that has a long history of creating robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of hard and carpet flooring, and mopping capabilities at a reasonable price. It's easy to set it up, just connect one of the side brush, turn it on and plug in your 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 enough space to move.
The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise and can be placed under couches and other furniture with a low clearance. The design is more modest than other models, and features sleek black finishes and three buttons that are physical: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Cleaning (which cleans the area in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.
The way that the G30 cleans is what separates it from its rivals. It uses an integrated map to draw an image of the immovable items that are in its path. It can remember the things it has cleaned and where it cannot access. It then returns to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning where it left off.
The eufy G30 has a few issues. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges faster and offers similar battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn't have to be empty as often and comes with an array of boundaries that restrict it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller size means that it doesn't have to be empty as often, and it has less difficulty with bulky items like cereal.
