1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
The Roomba J7+, IRobot's smartest robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. The most significant advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle detection system. This uses AI to identify objects like charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to send you a picture of an object that it encounters, so you can instruct that it is safe to avoid it.

It cleans up dirt and spills quickly leaving no trace it was there. robotic vacuum cleaner best to control through the iRobot Home app which allows you to schedule cleaning and set up Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't sweep areas you do not want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it by voice.
The design is also more appealing than the competition. It has a sleek, top piece that appears like toys rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal It also self-empties which will reduce your cleaning time.
In our tests the j7+ performed quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in its place instead of scattering it across the floor. It even could capture sand and small gravel which other robots can't. And all of this without getting caught in our pet's shedding hair.
The j7+, while not as smart as the Roomba S9 for $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot, and isn't able to clean the stairs, is still a good option for those who require both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly to use.
While the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other apps that utilize robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates, and sometimes it's difficult to tell if the update is actually working until you see it in the action.
2. Roborock Q5+
When you're looking for a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, your most effective option is likely to be a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. They also come with many additional features like smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they tend to be pricey at full retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.
Roborock is the manufacturer of some of our favorite robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. It's their most affordable auto-empty model, and although it's not equipped with some of the features found 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 some hundred dollars.
The Q5+ is extremely soft when it comes to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it an excellent choice for homes that have many furniture pieces. It's also very thorough when it comes to cleaning up dust bunnies, which is a place where many cheaper robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The Q5+'s navigation system is excellent, with few misses along walls or in corners.
Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled with a handful of buttons on the device itself or via the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set up schedules, create virtual barrier and no-go areas and adjust your home map, or change the room's label.
If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto-emptying dock that's designed to make the robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once it's in place, emptying the bin is simple. It also features an impressive LCD display that is great to have when you're setting up schedules or adjusting settings. This isn't a necessity for the majority of people however it will aid in keeping track of your robot's maintenance intervals effortlessly.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a clever, well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design is among the best in the industry however, it's costly.
The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and its dimensions are quite small. But the station's main selling feature is the way it automatizes various tasks and functions that most other robots leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot charged and clean.
Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's the only robovac I've tried that does an excellent job of removing the dust from floors with no. It's also not as loud as the expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.
The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of your home. It's also not able to climb stairs like other competitors and doesn't come with a dock to create a clean zone for carpets that are soft.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for 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 available. Many eufy models cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is a bit more expensive, but offers many more features, like the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, which provides a better overall vacuuming experience on plain floors, low-pile carpets and even high-pile ones.
4. eufy RoboVac G30
eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of making robot vacuums that strike the right balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for hard and carpeted flooring, and mopping functions at a reasonable price. It's easy to setup by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn it on and plug in the charging dock. The app walks you through several steps to connect it to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. The dock must be located near an outlet and have plenty of room to move.
The G30 is a compact device that measures 2.85 inches in height, which means it will be tucked away under couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious compared to some rival models. It features a sleek black finish with three buttons that are physical 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 feature that distinguishes the G30 apart from most competitors is the way it cleans. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of the immovable objects in its path while retaining what it's cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. If it requires a recharge, it automatically returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it started.
The eufy G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba is more durable and has lower recurring costs. It charges faster, offers similar battery life and performs better on unfinished flooring or carpet with a low pile. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn't have to be emptied as often and comes with a set of boundary strips to ensure it isn't in certain areas. The G30 on the other hand is less expensive and much simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust container does not require emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky material such as cereal.
