If you've ever thought of purchase a robot vacuum, now is the time. CNET's top-rated models are available for sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and can save you up to 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that has smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its run time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties and automatically refills its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s smartest robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. This uses AI to identify objects such as charging cords and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you a photo of an object it encounters so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. You can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't clean in areas that you don't want. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start and stop it using your voice.

The design is also superior to the competition. It has an elegant, top piece that appears like a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot floor cleaner. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt removal It also self-empties which will cut down your cleaning time.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it on the floor. It was able capture sand, small gravel and even a bit of grit. Most robots could not do this. And all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.

Although it's not as efficient as the Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum and can't clean smart robot stairs, the j7+ is still a solid option for those who need both mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not expensive and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly.

While the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that work with robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and it is sometimes difficult to tell whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

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

Roborock is one of our favorite robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. This is their least expensive auto-empty model, and while it lacks certain features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great option if you're willing sacrifice a little to save a few hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs and walls, which makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is a problem where many cheaper robot vacuums often fall short. The Q5+'s navigation is excellent, with few misses on walls and corners.

The Q5+, like other Roborock products, can be controlled by just a few buttons on the device, or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones, adjust your home map, or re-label the rooms.

If you select the Q5+ it comes with a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once in place, emptying the bin is simple. It also comes with an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when you're creating schedules or changing settings. This isn't an essential feature for the majority of people, but it's one that can help you keep track of the maintenance intervals for your robot effortlessly.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

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

It is a relatively small base station that looks great and is easily hidden when not in use. The main reason to buy the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Many other robots require you to do this.

Its vacuuming capabilities are impressive and efficient, too. It's one of the few robovacs I've tried that does an excellent job of picking up debris on plain floors, and is not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially when it comes to 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 the home. It also can't climb stairs like other models and isn't equipped with a dock to create a cleaning area for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum hoover vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who want a robot vacuum that does it all.

If you're looking to save some cash, or just don't care about the limitations of this robot there are many alternatives available, including a lot of eufy models priced significantly less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for example is less expensive and provides a similar in-app experience with more features, including stairs, a fully-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 track record of producing robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors and mopping functions as well as carpets at a price that is affordable. It's simple to set up, just attach one of the side brushes, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. You'll need to leave the dock near a power outlet and enough space for it to move around however.

The G30 is a small device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, which means it will be placed under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is more subtle in comparison to other models. It has a sleek black finish with three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.

The most important feature that sets the G30 apart from most competitors is the way it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to create a picture of the immovable items in its path. It can remember the items it has cleaned and where it cannot access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it left off.

The elegant G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower cost of operation. It charges faster, offers a similar battery life, and performs better on unfinished flooring or carpet with a 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 boundary strips to restrict it from certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't need emptying as often and it has less trouble with bulky material such as cereal.
