1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's smartest robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. Its most notable innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It uses AI to recognize objects like charging cords and shoes. It's also the first robot to automatically send you photos of any object it encounters to let you know to avoid it in the future.

The Combo j7+ is also the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, picking up dirt and spills with ease and leaving no trace that it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning and set up Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't clean areas you don't want it to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop by speaking to it.

Its design is also an improvement over the rest and features a sleek, top piece that looks more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal System also self-empties, which can cut down on cleaning time.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one place rather than sending it scattering all over the floor. It even could catch small gravel and sand which other robots aren't able to do. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

While it's not quite as efficient as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs, the J7+ is an excellent choice for those who require both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly.

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 it can be difficult to tell if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a vacuum bot that does more than just clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be one that is a hybrid. These machines are equipped with a water tank, so they can mop and automated vacuum cleaner at the same time. They also come with a variety of extra features like smart mapping and small object avoidance and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. They're expensive at retail, but usually are reduced on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock is the manufacturer of some of our favorite robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ does not disappoint. This is the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not come with some of the premium features (like no-go zones and multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent option if you are willing to make a few compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles such as wall legs and table legs which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is a problem where many cheaper robot cleaning machine vacuums can really fail. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is fantastic too, with very little missing in corners and along walls.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled with the buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones and adjust your home map, or re-label the rooms.

If you choose the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto emptying dock that is designed to make this robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver but once in place emptying the bin is done easily. It also has a large LCD display that is great to have when you're creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't required for most people however it can help you effectively keep the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's astonishingly clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the best in the industry however it's quite expensive.

It's a small base station that looks beautiful and can be hidden when not in use. The station's most appealing factor is its ability to automate various tasks and Vacuum Deals functions that most other robots leave up to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive, too. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tested that does an excellent job of 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 shortcomings, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, which means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of your home. It also can't climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a dock to create a cleaning zone for plush carpets.

Although it doesn't provide as many in terms of cleaning-related options in its app or as many in-app shortcuts like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those seeking a great all-round mop and robot vacuum cleaner cheap vacuum that's worth the price price.

But if you want to save some money, or just don't care about the limitations of this robot there are many alternatives available with a wide range of eufy models priced considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for example is less expensive and offers a similar in-app experience with additional features such as stairs, a fully-function dock, and better overall performance when vacuuming floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy is an Anker company with a long history of creating robot vacuums that offer the perfect combination of features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning of hard floors as well as mopping functions as well as carpets at a price that is affordable. It's easy to setup by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock should be located near an outlet with plenty of room to move.

The G30 is a small device that measures 2.85 inches in height, so it can be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design is less ostentatious than some rival models, with sleek black finishes and three physical buttons: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs a space in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The way that the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from its rivals. It makes use of an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable items that are in its path. It remembers the items it has cleaned and where it cannot access. It will return to the base to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.

The eufy G30 has a few issues. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged faster and offers similar battery life. It also offers better performance on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't have to be emptied as often and comes with an array of boundaries that keep it away from certain areas. The G30, however, is more affordable and is much more manageable to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't need emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating heavy materials like cereal.
