1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most advanced robot to date is the Roomba j7+. Its most notable advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle detection system. This uses AI to identify objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's also the first robot to automatically send you a photo of an object it encounters to let you know to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot cleaner we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. You can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean in areas you don't want. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it with a voice.

The design is also more appealing than the other models. It features an elegant, top piece that resembles toys rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System automatically empty, which is great to speed up cleaning.

In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ quickly took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in its place instead of scattering it on the floor vacuum robot. It even was able to catch small gravel and sand, which most other robots aren't able to do. It did all without getting caught up 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 still an excellent option for those who require both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a long time to download updates, and often it's difficult to know whether the update is working until you've seen it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you're looking for a vacuum robot that does more than simply clean floors, the best self cleaning vacuum choice is probably hybrid. This type of robot typically comes with a built-in tank for water that allows them to vacuum and mop your home simultaneously. They also have a range of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance and even the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. They are expensive at full retail but often lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock is one of our most loved robot vacuum cleaner for sale vacuums and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it doesn't include some of the expensive features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent option for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is exceptionally soft when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it a great choice for homes that have lots of furniture. It's also very thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is a place which many robot vacuums often fail. The Q5+'s navigation system is also excellent, with few misses along walls or in corners.

The Q5+, just like other Roborock products can be controlled with only a few buttons on your device or through the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set up schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones or alter your home map, or change the room's label.

If you decide to go with the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock, which was specifically designed to make the robot simple to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once in place the process of emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also features a large LCD display which is great to have when setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't required for most people however it can help you easily keep the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot vacuum and mop that's impressively clever in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is among the top in the market however, it's costly.

The base station looks nice and is easily hidden when not in use, and its dimensions are quite small. But the station's main selling feature is the way it automatizes many tasks and functions that most other robots will leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. The majority of other robots require you to perform this.

And its vacuuming is impressive as well. It's the only robovac I've tried that does an excellent job of removing dirt from floors that aren't. It's also not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly in the area of navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, which means it can get stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the house. It can't climb stairs as well as some competitors, for instance and doesn't come with a dock that lets you to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who want an automated vacuum that can do it all.

However, if you're looking to save some cash or don't want to think about the limitations of this robot there are many other options available with a wide range of eufy models that cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance, is cheaper however it comes with many more features, like stairs and a fully-function Dock, that provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on plain floors carpets, low-pile carpets and even high-pile ones.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, a Anker company has a proven track record of creating robot vacuums that strike the right balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for hard and carpeted floors, as well as mopping capabilities at a reasonable price. It's easy to set it up, simply connect one of the side brush, turn it on and connect your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock will need to be located near an outlet and have enough space to move.

The G30 is a small device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, meaning it will be placed under most couches and low-clearance pieces furniture. Its design is more subtle when compared to rival models. It is sleek with a black finish and three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral pattern for 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 primary characteristic that distinguishes the G30 apart from most competitors is the method it cleans. It uses a built-in map to create an image of non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and what it isn't able to access. If it requires a recharge, it automatically returns to its base and resumes cleaning from where it left off.

The sleek G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more constructed, has lower recurring expenses, charges faster and offers similar battery life, while providing better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It has a larger dust bin that doesn't require more emptying. It also comes with boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30, on the other hand is more affordable and a lot simpler to maintain. Its smaller size means that it doesn't have to be emptied as frequently, and it has less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
