1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. Its most significant innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often slough through). It's the first robot to send you images of objects that it encounters, so you can tell that it is safe to avoid it.

The best combo vacuum J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we've ever tested. It removes dirt and spills easily, leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app which allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't clean areas you don't want it to. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start and stop it by speaking to it.

The design is also better than the competition. It has an elegant, top piece that resembles an toy, not the loud and annoying robot. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal System is also self-emptying which can cut down on cleaning time.

In our tests, we found that the j7+ swiftly removed dust, dirt, and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brush roll kept the debris in one place rather than sending it scattering all over the floor. It even could capture sand and small gravel, which most other robots couldn't do. It did all without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

While it's not quite as efficient as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum and can't clean stairs The j7+ is still 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 very user-friendly to use.

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 difficult to tell if the update is actually functioning until you've seen it 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 budget robot vacuum option is probably a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a tank of water so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. They are expensive at retail, but they often are reduced on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock makes several of our top robotic vacuum cleaner amazon vacuums, and the Q5+ does not perform to the standards. It's their most affordable auto-empty model. While it's not equipped with certain features you'll find on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still an excellent option if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save a few hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles such as wall legs and table legs, which makes it an excellent option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies, which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums often be a bit sloppy. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is fantastic and has very few missing in corners and along walls.

Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled using the buttons on the device itself or via the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones and adjust your home map, or re-label rooms.

If you choose to purchase the Q5+, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock that's designed specifically to make this robot simple to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, however, once it's in place emptying the bin can be done without difficulty. It features a large LCD screen that is very useful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't essential for everyone, however it can help you easily keep 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 both vacuuming and mopping. Its design and function are some of the top available however, it's also expensive.

It's a tiny base station that looks stunning and is able to be concealed when not in use. But the station's biggest selling factor is its ability to automate various tasks and functions that most other robots will leave to you. It can store dirty and clean water, and then electrolyze and heat the water. The majority of other robots require this.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's one of the only robovacs that I've tested that does very well at collecting debris from plain floors, and is not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes 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 areas or rooms of the home. It's not able to navigate stairs as well as some competitors, for instance and doesn't come with a dock that allows you to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for carpets with plush padding.

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

If you're looking to cut costs or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are many alternatives available. A lot of eufy models are significantly less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive and has more features, including stairs and a fully-function Dock, with a better overall vacuuming experience on plain floors carpets, low-pile carpets, and even high-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of making robot vacuums that strike a good balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for carpets and hard floors, as well as mopping functions for a low cost. It's easy to set up, simply connect one of the side brushes and then turn it on. Then plug in your charging dock. The app takes you through the steps needed to connect to your Wi-Fi. After that, the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to place the dock close to an electrical outlet and plenty of room to allow it to move, however.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise and will fit under many couches and other low-clearance furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious in comparison to other 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 over two minutes) Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also link the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.

The most important feature that makes the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It uses an integrated map to draw an image of the immovable objects in its path. It keeps track of the items it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. It will return to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning the area it left.

The elegant G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges faster and has a similar battery life. It also offers superior performance on floors that are unfinished and carpets with low pile. It comes with a larger dust bin that does not require as much emptying. It also has boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30, however is less expensive and much simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust canister does not require emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating heavy materials such as cereal.
