1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.
The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most advanced robot to date is the Roomba J7+. Its biggest innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes and the pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often go through). It's also the first to automatically send you a photo of the object it comes across to let you know to avoid it in the future.
The Combo J7+ is the best robot vacuum under 200 robot mop we've ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills effortlessly leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't sweep areas you do not want it to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop using your voice.
Its design is a step above the competition, with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying and is ideal to speed up cleaning.
In our tests, we found that the j7+ swiftly eliminated dirt, dust and pet hair. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it across the floor. It even was able to capture sand and small gravel that other robots aren't able to do. And all 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 can't clean stairs, the J7+ is a solid option for those who need both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not expensive, and the iRobot application makes it user-friendly to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates and it can be difficult to tell whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you're looking to purchase an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the best smart vacuum option is probably a hybrid. This kind of robot usually comes with a built-in tank for water, meaning they can both mop and vacuum your home at the same time. They also come with various additional features, including smart mapping and small object avoidance and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they tend to be expensive when purchased at full retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.
Roborock has some of our top robot hoover vacuums and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's their most affordable auto-empty model. While it doesn't have some of the features you'll find on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still a great choice if you're willing to compromise a bit in order to save hundreds of dollars.
The Q5+ is exceptionally soft when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a area where most robot vacuums of lower quality do not excel in. The Q5+'s navigation is excellent, with few misses along walls or in corners.
The Q5+, like other Roborock products, can be controlled by only a few buttons on your device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones or alter your home map, or change the room's label.
If you choose to purchase the Q5+, it ships with a new auto-empty dock that's designed specifically to make this robot simple to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once in place, emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also features a large LCD display that is great to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This isn't a necessity for the majority of people, but it's one that can help you keep the track of the intervals between maintenance for your robot with ease.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's astonishingly smart in both its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design and functionality are some of the most advanced available however it's expensive.
It's a small base station that looks beautiful and can be hidden when not in use. The station's most appealing feature is the way it automatizes numerous tasks and functions that other robots leave up to you. It can store clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Many other robots require this.
Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovacs that I've tested that do very well at collecting debris from unfinished floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.
The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially when it comes navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, which means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of the home. It also can't climb stairs like other models and isn't equipped with a dock to create a cleaning area for carpets that are soft.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who need an automated vacuum that can do everything.
If you're looking for a way to save money or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options on the market. Many eufy models cost substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for example is less expensive and provides the same experience in the app, but with more features, including the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and superior overall vacuuming performance on bare floors as well as high and low-pile carpets.
4. Eufy RoboVac g30
Eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of making robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpeted flooring, and mopping functions for a low cost. It's easy to set up, simply snap on one of the side brushes and then turn it on. Then plug in your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock should be placed near an outlet and have plenty of space to move.
The G30 is a tiny device that measures 2.85 inches in height, which means it can fit under most couches and low-clearance pieces furniture. Its design is less ostentatious compared to some rival models. It has a sleek black finish and three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes) Recharge and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.
The way the G30 cleans is what separates it from its rivals. It uses an integrated map to draw an image of the immovable objects in its path. It can remember what it has already cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning where it left off.
The elegant G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower monthly costs. It is faster to charge, has similar battery life and is more effective on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It comes with a larger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying. It also comes with boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky materials like cereal.
