The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping, with app-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is awe-inspiring. It also self cleaning vacuum-empties and refills its water tank.
1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes, and the pet waste that many other robots are unable to avoid (and often slough through). It's the first robot to provide you with images of objects that it encounters, meaning you can tell that it is safe to avoid it.
The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we've ever tested. It removes dirt and spills quickly leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. You can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't clean in areas you don't would like. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start 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 robot than a loud, obnoxious one. And the Clean Base automatic vacuum Dirt Disposal System automatically empty and is ideal to reduce the time spent cleaning.
In our tests, we found that the j7+ swiftly eliminated dirt, dust and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in its place rather than scattering it around the floor. It was able to collect sand, small gravel and even a bit of grit. Most robots could not achieve this feat. It did all this without getting caught in our pet's hair shed.
Although it's not as sophisticated as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the J7+ is an excellent choice for those who need both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not too expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates, and often 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 an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be hybrid. This kind of robot usually has a built-in water tank which means they can vacuum and mop your house simultaneously. They also come with a variety of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance and even the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be expensive at retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.
Roborock has some of our favorite robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. It's their cheapest auto-empty model, and while it's not equipped with some of the premium features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great choice if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save a few hundred dollars.
The Q5+ is remarkably gentle when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it an excellent choice for homes that have a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough when it comes to cleaning up dust bunnies, which is a place where many cheaper robot vacuums often be a bit sloppy. The Q5+'s navigation system is excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.
The Q5+, as with other Roborock products can be controlled via only a few buttons on your device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleaning, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones and modify 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's designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once it's installed, the process of emptying the bin is relatively simple. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful in setting up schedules and adjusting settings. This feature isn't required for the majority of people, but it can help you to 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 mopping and vacuuming. Its design is among the most innovative in the market, but it's expensive.
The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and the dimensions are quite small. The station's most appealing factor is its ability to automate many tasks and functions that other robots leave up to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot charged and clean.
Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's one of the only robovacs that I've tested that do an excellent job of picking up debris on 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 faults, especially in terms of navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means that it is prone to getting stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms in the home. It's also not able to climb stairs like other competitors and doesn't come with a dock that can create a cleaning zone for carpets that are soft.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for an automated vacuum that can do it all.
But if you want to save some cash or don't want to think about the limitations of this robotic hoovers There are many other great choices on the market which include a variety of eufy models priced significantly less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance is less expensive and offers an identical experience on the app with more features like stairs, a fully-function dock, and a 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 with the right combination of features, performance, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of hard and carpeted flooring, and a mopping function for a low cost. It's easy to set up, simply attach one of the side brush, turn it on and plug in your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. It is recommended to keep the dock close to an outlet for power and plenty of room to allow it to move around however.
The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, meaning it is able to be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces furniture. Its design is less ostentatious when compared to rival models. It has a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral pattern over two minutes), Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to perform cleaning that is not scheduled using voice commands.
The most important aspect that makes the G30 apart from its competitors is the way it cleans. It uses an integrated map to make an image of the immovable items in its path. It can remember what it has already cleaned and where it cannot access. It then returns to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning where it left off.
The elegant G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, has a similar battery life, and is more effective on bare carpet or floors with low pile. It has a larger dust bin that doesn't require as much emptying. It also has boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't have to be empty as often, and it has less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
