The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping with app-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is impressive. It also self-empties and refills its water tank.
1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its biggest advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. This uses AI to detect objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you photos of any object it encounters so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.
The Combo j7+ is also the best self cleaning vacuum robot to mop we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't vacuum areas you do not want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it with a voice.
The design is also more appealing than the competition. It features an elegant, top piece that resembles toys rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. Clean Base's automatic floor vacuum Floor cleaning machine (http://www.hansonfamilysingers.com) Dirt Disposal System also self-empties, which will cut down your cleaning time.
In our tests the j7+ was quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one location rather than sending it scattering around the floor. It was able capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a bit of grit. Most robots can't do this. And all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.
While it's not quite as sophisticated as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the j7+ is still an excellent option for those who require both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly to use.
Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that use robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and often it's difficult to know whether the update is working until you've seen it in the action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you're looking to purchase a vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be hybrid. These bots are equipped with a tank of water so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. These bots also come with many additional features, including smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. They are expensive at retail, but usually come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuum cleaner commercial vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. It's their most affordable auto-empty model, and although it's not equipped with some of the features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great choice if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save some hundred dollars.
The Q5+ is notably soft around obstacles like table legs and walls, which makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a place where many robot vacuums that are less expensive aren't able to meet. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few missing in corners and on walls.
Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled using a handful of buttons on the device or through the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set up schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones or alter your home map, or re-label rooms.
If you decide to go with the Q5+ model, it ships with a new auto-empty dock that's designed specifically to make this robot easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver for install, but once in place the process of emptying the bin is relatively simple. It also has a large LCD display which is great to have when you're creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't essential for everyone, however it can help you easily keep the robot's maintenance schedules.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot vacuum and mop that's impressively clever in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is among the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.
Its base station looks good and is hidden when it's not in use, and its size is relatively compact. But the station's biggest selling point is how it automates numerous tasks and functions that other robots leave up to you. It can store clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require you to do this.
Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's one of the only robovacs that I've tried that does very well at collecting debris from unfinished 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 sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable as other robovacs. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms in the house. It can't navigate stairs as well as competitors, either, and it doesn't have an dock that allows the user to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who want a robot vacuum that does everything.
However, if you're looking to save some money, or just don't care about the limitations of this robot, there are plenty of other options available which include a variety of eufy models priced considerably less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance, is cheaper and offers a similar in-app experience with additional features such as stair climbing, a full-function dock, and better overall vacuuming performance on bare floors as well as high and low-pile carpets.
4. Eufy RoboVac G30
eufy is an Anker company with a long history of creating robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of carpets and hard floors, as well as mopping capabilities for a low cost. It's simple to set up, just snap one of the side brushes on, switch it on, and plug it into the charging dock. The app walks you through a few steps to connect to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to leave the dock near a power outlet and enough space to allow it to move but.
The G30 is a tiny device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, meaning it will fit under most couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design is less ostentatious in comparison to other models. It is sleek with a black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge and Spot bot cleaner. 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 the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from its rivals. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of immovable objects in its path and then keeps track of what it has already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. When it's time to recharge, it automatically returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it left off.
The elegant G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, has the same battery life and is more effective on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It has a larger dust bin that does not require more emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30, on the other hand is more affordable and is much easier to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't need to be emptied as frequently, and it has less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
