If you've ever thought of get a robot vacuum, now is the time to get one. CNET's
top robot vacuum models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday with savings of up to 57%.
The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that has smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its 180-minute running time is impressive. It also self-empties and automatically refills its water tank.
1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
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 the first robot to provide you with a picture of an object that it encounters, meaning you can instruct the robot to avoid it.
The Combo j7+ is also the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt effortlessly without leaving any trace that was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. You can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't vacuum in areas that you don't would like. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start and stop it using your voice.
Its design is an improvement over the rest with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal It also self-empties which will cut down your cleaning time.
In our tests, the j7+ was quick to clean up dust, dirt and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it across the floor. It was able capture sand, small gravel and even a bit of grit. The majority of robots cannot accomplish this feat. It did this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.
While it's not quite as efficient as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs The j7+ is still a solid option for those who require both mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates and it is sometimes difficult to tell whether they're working until you actually see them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
When you're looking for an
automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than simply clean floors, the best choice is probably hybrid. This type of robot typically includes a built-in water tank that allows them to vacuum and mop your house simultaneously. These bots also come with various additional features such as smart mapping and small object avoidance and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. They're expensive at retail, but they often come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Roborock is one of our most loved robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. This is their least expensive auto-empty model. While it doesn't have some of the features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still a great option if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save hundreds of dollars.
The Q5+ is noticeable soft around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It is also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is a area where most robot vacuums of lower quality aren't able to meet. The Q5+'s navigation system is top-quality, with a few misses along walls or in corners.
Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled with a few buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go areas and modify your home map or re-label the rooms.
If you decide to go with the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock that's specifically designed to make the robot simple to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, but once in place emptying the bin can be done with relative ease. It comes with a huge LCD screen, which is useful in setting up schedules and 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 mop and vacuum that's astonishingly clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the best in the industry, but it's expensive.
Its base station looks good and is easily hidden when not in use, and its size is quite compact. The station's most appealing factor is its ability to automate numerous tasks and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store dirty and clean water and electrolyze and heat the water. Many other robots require you to do this.
Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tested that does a good job picking up dirt from floors that aren't. It's also not as loud as the expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.
However, the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robot vacuums. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms of the house. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other models and doesn't come with a dock that can create a cleaning area for plush carpets.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who need an automated vacuum (

If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are many other options available. Many eufy models cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is less expensive however it comes with more features, such as the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, that provides the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on bare floors, low-pile carpets as well as high-pile ones.
4. eufy RoboVac g30
eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of producing
robot cleaner vacuums that strike a good balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different, offering a capable cleaning on hard floors and mopping functions as well as carpets at a reasonable price. It's easy to set it up, just attach one of the side brush, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app walks you through the steps needed to connect it to your Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. The dock must be located near an outlet with enough space to move.
The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise It can be placed under couches and other low-clearance furniture. Its design is a little more modest than other models, with sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Clean (which scrubs a space in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to do unscheduled cleaning with voice commands.
The main characteristic that distinguishes the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to make an image of the unmovable objects in its path. It remembers the things it has cleaned and where it cannot access. It then returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.
The eufy G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, has similar battery life and performs better on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It has a bigger dust bin, which doesn't require more emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller size means that it doesn't need to be empty as often and has less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
