1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. Its biggest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to recognize 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, so that you can tell the robot to avoid it.

The design is also superior to the competition. It has a sleek, top piece that appears like a toy rather than an obnoxious and loud Bagless Robot Vacuum. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System automatically empty which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ was quick to took away dirt, dust, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot instead of scattering it across the floor. It was able to collect small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a little grit. Most robots can't achieve this feat. It did without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

Although it's not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum and can't clean stairs, the J7+ is an excellent option for those who require both mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner applications. It can take a while to download updates and it's sometimes difficult to determine if they are working until you actually see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

The Q5+ is remarkably gentle when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it an excellent option for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is a place where most robot sweeper vacuums of lower quality do not excel in. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is superb too, with very little misses in corners and along walls.

It can store clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. The majority of other robots require you to perform this.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the few robot cleaner amazon vacuums I've tested that does very well at collecting debris from bare floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms of navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs, which means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the house. It can't climb stairs as well as some competitors, either, and it doesn't have a dock that lets the user to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.

Although it doesn't have as much in the way of cleaning options available in its app, or as many shortcuts in the app like 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 price.

It keeps track of the items it has cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. It then returns to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning the area it left.

The sleek G30 has a few issues. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, offers similar battery life and is more effective on bare carpet or floors with low pile. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't need to be emptied as frequently and comes with an array of boundary strips to keep it away from certain areas.
