1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most advanced robot to date is the Roomba J7+. The most significant innovation is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It uses AI to recognize objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's also the first robot to automatically send you a picture of the object it comes across so that you can tell it to avoid it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we've ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills easily leaving no trace it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean areas you do not want it to. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop by speaking to it.

The design is also more appealing than the competition. It features an elegant, top piece that looks like an toy, not a loud and obnoxious robot. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System automatically empty, which is great for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot rather than sending it scattering across the floor. It even was able to take small gravel and sand which other robots couldn't do. It did all this without getting tangled up in our pet's hair shed.

The j7+, though not as intelligent as the Roomba S9 for $1,217and Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who want both mopping and vacuum. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that utilize robotic vacuum cleaner commercial cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and it can be difficult to determine if they are working until you actually see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking to purchase an automated cleaning vacuum cleaner (Full Post) that can do more than just clean floors, the best automatic vacuum option is probably hybrid. These machines are equipped with a water tank so they can vacuum and mop at the same time. They also come with a variety of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. The downside is that they can be expensive at retail, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday they are often reduced in price.

Roborock makes several of our top robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't perform to the standards. This is the least expensive model of their auto-empty line. While it may not have some of the more luxurious features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories), it's still an excellent option for those who are willing to make a few compromises to save a few bucks.

The Q5+ is notably gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it a great choice for homes with lots of furniture. It is also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is an area that many robot vacuums that are less expensive aren't able to meet. The Q5+'s navigation system is also excellent, with few misses along walls or in corners.

Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled with a few buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. With the app you can start and stop cleanings or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones and adjust your home map or re-label rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock specifically designed to make the robot simple to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once it's installed, the process of emptying the bin is simple. It also has an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't required for most people but it can help you effectively keep the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra cheap robot vacuum vacuum and mop is a smart well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design and functionality are some of the best on the market however it's expensive.

Its base station looks good and hides it when not in use, and its dimensions are quite small. The main reason to buy the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions, and chores that other robots would leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tried that does very well at picking up debris on unfinished floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms of navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means that it can get stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms in the house. It's also unable to climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a docking station to create a cleaning area for carpets with plush padding.

While it doesn't offer as many in terms of cleaning-related options in its app, or as many in-app shortcuts as some other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comprehensive robot vacuum and mop that's worth the price cost.

If you're looking to save some cash, or just don't care about the limitations of this robot there are many alternatives on the market with a wide range of eufy models that cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive however it comes with more features, including the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, which provides the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on bare floors carpets, low-pile carpets and even high-pile ones.

4. Eufy RoboVac g30

eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums with the right combination of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning on hard floors and carpets and mopping function too at an affordable price point. It's easy to set it up, just attach one of the side brush and then turn it on. Then plug in your charging dock. The app takes you through the steps needed to connect it to Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. The dock will need to be placed close to an outlet that has plenty of space to move.

The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, which means it will be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces furniture. Its design is more subtle compared to some rival models. It features a sleek black finish with three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral pattern for two minutes) Recharge and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The most important aspect that sets the G30 apart from most competitors is the method it cleans. It uses an integrated map to create an image of the unmovable items that are in its path. It keeps track of the items it has cleaned and where it cannot access. If it requires a recharge, it automatically returns to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it started.

The sleek G30 isn't without faults however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more constructed, has lower recurring costs, is charged faster and offers similar battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It has a larger dust bin, which doesn't require as much emptying. It also comes with boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister does not require emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky materials such as cereal.
