The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that is equipped with smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its running time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties and refills its water tank.
1. iRobot Roomba j7+
The Roomba J7+, IRobot's smartest robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. The most significant innovation is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. It uses AI to detect objects like charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to send you a picture of an object that it encounters, so that you can tell that it is safe to avoid it.
The Combo j7+ is also the best robot to mop we've ever tested, picking up dirt and spills with ease and leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app which allows you to schedule cleaning and set up Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't sweep areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it using voice.
Its design is also an improvement over the rest, with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy robotic rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal It also self-empties which will cut down your cleaning time.
In our tests, we found that the j7+ was quick to eliminated dirt, dust and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one location rather than sending it scattering around the floor. It even could capture sand and small gravel that other robots aren't able to do. And it did all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's hair shedding.
The j7+, though not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba S9and Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and it isn't able to clean the stairs, is an excellent choice for those who want both a vacuum and a mop. It's not costly and the iRobot App makes it simple 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 use robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates, and it can be difficult to know whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the best option is probably hybrid. These robots come with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. The negative is that they tend to be expensive at retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.
Roborock makes some of our top 5 robot vacuum robot vacuums and the Q5+ is no exception. This is the cheapest model in their auto-empty line. Although it doesn't come with some of the premium features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent choice for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.
The Q5+ is remarkably soft when it comes to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it an excellent option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough when it comes to cleaning up dust bunnies, which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums can really fail. The Q5+'s navigation is superb, with only a few mishaps on walls and corners.
The Q5+, like other Roborock products can be controlled via a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barrier and no-go areas, modify your home map or re-label the rooms.
If you choose the Q5+ it comes with a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver for install, but once it's in place the process of emptying the bin is simple. It also features a large LCD display which is great to have when you're creating schedules or changing settings. This isn't an essential feature for most people however it can help you keep the track of the maintenance intervals for your robot effortlessly.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a smart well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of vacuuming and mopping. Its design is one of the best in the industry however it's quite expensive.
The base station looks nice and is hidden when it's not in use, and the dimensions are quite small. The primary selling point of the station is that it automates many tasks, functions and chores that other robots leave to you. It can store dirty and clean water and also electrolyze and warm the water. The majority of other robots require you to perform this.
Its vacuuming capabilities are impressive and efficient, too. It's the only robovacs that I've tested that do a really good job of picking up debris on plain floors, and is not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.
The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially when it comes to navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain areas of the home. It's not able navigate stairs as well as some competitors, either and it doesn't have an dock that allows you to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for an automated vacuum that can do it all.
If you're looking to save money or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost significantly less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is a bit more expensive, but offers many more features, like the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, which provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on floors that are unfinished carpets with low pile, and even high-pile carpets.
4. Eufy RoboVac g30
eufy is an Anker company with an established track record of making robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors as well as mopping, carpets and other surfaces at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up, just connect one of the side brushes and turn it on, then connect the charging dock. The app walks you through several steps to connect to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to place the dock close to a power outlet and ample space to allow it to move around however.
The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be exact It can be placed under couches and other furniture with a low clearance. Its design is more subtle in comparison to other models. It features a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral pattern for two minutes) Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.
The way that the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from its competitors. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of the immovable objects it encounters while retaining what it's cleaned and where it can't access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning the area it left.
The eufy G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better built, incurs lower recurring expenses, charges faster and has a similar battery life. It also offers better performance on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It has a bigger dust bin that does not require as much emptying. It also comes with boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is, however is more affordable and a lot more manageable to maintain. Its smaller dust canister does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with heavy materials like cereal.
