1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. The most significant innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. This uses AI to identify objects like charging cords and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you photos of any object it encounters to let you know to stay clear of it in the future.

You can schedule cleanings and even create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't sweep in areas that you don't want. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it with a voice.

Although it's not as efficient as the Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs The J7+ is an excellent option for those who require both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use, but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner applications. It can take a while to download updates, and often it's hard to determine whether the update actually working until you see it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, your most effective option is likely to be hybrid. This category of bots typically has a built-in water tank, meaning they can both vacuum and mop your house at the same time. They also have a number of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance and even the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.

Roborock makes 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 compromise a bit in order to save hundreds of dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like tables and walls which makes it a great choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in getting rid of dust bunnies which is a problem where many cheaper robot vacuums fall short. talks about it Links to an external site. Q5+'s navigation is excellent, with few misses along walls and in corners.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled using a few buttons on the device or through the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones, adjust your home map, or change the room's label.

If you choose to purchase the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto-empty dock that's specifically designed to make the robot simple to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver however, once it's in place emptying the bin can be done without difficulty. It also has an impressive LCD display that is great to have when you're setting up schedules or adjusting settings. This feature isn't essential for the majority of people, but it can help easily keep track of the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a clever, well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of mopping and vacuuming. Its design is among the best in the industry however, it's costly.

Its base station looks good and is hidden when it's not in use, and the dimensions are quite small. But the station's main selling factor is its ability to automate many tasks and functions that other robots leave up to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and keeps your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming capabilities are impressive as well. It's the only robot vacuum I've tested that does well at picking up the dust from floors with no. And it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs, which means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain areas of your home. It can't climb stairs as well as competitors, for instance and it doesn't have a dock that allows you to create a dedicated cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.


Although it doesn't provide the same amount of cleaning configuration options in its app or as many shortcuts in the app like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those looking for an all-around great robot vacuum and mop that's worth the price cost.

If you're looking to save some cash or don't want to think about the limitations of this robot, there are plenty of alternatives on the market, including a lot of eufy models priced substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for example is less expensive and provides the same experience in the app, but with additional features such as stair climbing, a full-function dock, and superior overall vacuuming performance on bare floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy is an Anker company with a history of producing robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different, offering a capable cleaning of hard floors and mopping functions as well as carpets at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps required to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock will need to be located near an outlet and have plenty of space to move.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise, which means it can be placed under couches and other low-clearance furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious compared to some 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 fashion over two minutes) Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.

The way that the G30 cleans is what separates it from its competitors. It uses an integrated map to create a picture of the immovable items that are in its path. It remembers the items it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. It will return to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning where it left off.

The eufy G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges more quickly and has the same battery life while offering better performance on floors with no carpet and low-pile carpet. It has a bigger dust bin that doesn't require the same amount of emptying. It also has boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is, however, is more affordable and much more manageable to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't have to be empty as often and it's less difficulty with bulky items like cereal.
