Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

If you've always wanted to buy a robot vacuum now is the time to get one. CNET's top-rated 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 is equipped with smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its run time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its most significant advancement is an obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste that most other robots can't avoid (and often go through). It's also the first to automatically send you a picture of any object it encounters so that you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo j7+ is also the most efficient mop robot vacuum hoover we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt effortlessly without leaving any trace that was there. It's easy to control using 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 it and stop it with a voice.

Its design is superior to the rest, with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal System is also self-emptying which will cut down your cleaning time.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to clean up dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one place rather than sending it scattering all over the floor. It was able to collect small gravel, sand and even a tiny bit of grit. The majority of robots cannot do this. It did all this without getting tangled in our pet's hair.

The j7+, although not as intelligent as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217and Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and isn't able to clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who require both a vacuum and a mop. It's not expensive and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner applications. It can take some time to download updates, and at times it's hard to determine if the update is actually functioning until you've seen it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you're looking for an automated vacuum Cleaner (Specodezhda37.ru) that can do more than just clean floors, your most effective option is likely to be one that is a hybrid. These robots come with a tank of water so they can vacuum bot and mop simultaneously. They also come with a variety of extra features like smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. They're costly at retail, but usually lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock makes some of our favorite robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't perform to the standards. 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 an excellent option if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is notably soft around obstacles like tables and walls which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough in cleaning robot price dust bunnies, which is a problem where many cheaper robot vacuums often fail. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is excellent and has very few missed corners and on walls.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled with a handful of buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barriers and no-go zones and modify your home map or re-label rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand 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 easy. It has a large LCD screen which is helpful when setting up schedules and changing 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 is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly clever in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is one of the top in the market, but it's expensive.

The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and the size is quite compact. But the station's biggest selling point is how it automates 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 you to perform this.

Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive as well. It's the only robovac I've used that has done a good job picking up debris from bare floors. And it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially 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 areas or rooms in the home. It also can't climb stairs as well as other models and doesn't come with a dock that can create a clean zone for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent option for those looking for a vacuum robot that can do everything.

However, if you're looking to save some cash or don't want to think about the limitations of this robot, there are plenty of other great choices available, including a lot of eufy models priced significantly less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance, is cheaper and offers a similar in-app experience with more features, including stair climbing, a full-function dock, and better overall vacuuming performance on bare floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, an Anker company has a proven track record of producing robot vacuums that strike a good balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of carpets and hard flooring, and a mopping function for a low cost. It's easy to setup simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn it on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps required to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock must be located near an outlet with plenty of space to move.

The G30 is a small device that measures 2.85 inches in height, so it can fit under most couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious when compared to rival models. It has a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs the area in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge, and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to do unscheduled cleaning with voice commands.

The main aspect that makes the G30 apart from its competitors is the method it cleans. It uses a built-in map to create an image of the non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and where it can't access. When it needs to recharge, it returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it started.

The sleek G30 has a few issues. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more constructed, has lower recurring costs, is charged faster and has a similar battery life, while providing superior performance on floors that are unfinished and carpets with low pile. It has a larger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't have to be empty as often, and it has less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
