If you've ever wanted to buy a robot vacuum now is the time. CNET's top-rated models will be on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts 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 running time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties itself 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 greatest advancement is an obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste many other robots are unable to avoid (and often go through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you a photo of any object it encounters so you can tell it to avoid it in the future.
The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop that we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills easily, leaving no trace that it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. You can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean in areas that you don't wish to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off using your voice.
Its design is also superior to the rest, with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy robot than a loud, obnoxious one. And the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying and is ideal to speed up cleaning.
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 location rather than sending it scattering across the floor. It was able capture sand, small gravel and even a little grit. Most robots can't do this. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.
The j7+, though not as sophisticated as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and isn't able to clean the stairs, is a good option for those who need both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.
While the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other applications that use robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and it can be difficult to know if they are working until you actually see them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that can do more than simply clean your floors, a hybrid is the best option. These bots are equipped with a water tank so they can vacuum and mop at the same time. They also have a range of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. The negative is that they can be pricey at full retail, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday they are often reduced in price.
Roborock makes some of our favorite robotic vacuums and the Q5+ does not perform to the standards. It's the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. While it may not come with some of the premium features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories), it's still a great choice for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.
The Q5+ is remarkably gentle when it comes to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough when it comes to getting rid of dust bunnies which is an area where many cheaper robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few missing in corners and along walls.
The Q5+, just like other Roborock products can be controlled via a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones and alter your home map, or change the labeling of rooms.
If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto emptying dock that is designed to make the
robot vacuum cleaner on sale easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's in place the process of emptying the bin is easy. It also has an impressive LCD display which is great to have when setting up schedules or adjusting settings. This isn't a necessity for the majority of people however it can help you keep track of the intervals between maintenance for your robot easily.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly smart in both its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is among the best in the industry, but it's expensive.
It's a tiny base station that looks great and is able to be concealed when not in use. 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. The majority of other robots require you to do this.
Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive and efficient, too. It's the few robot vacuums I've tested that do very well at cleaning up debris from unfinished floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.
However, the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, meaning it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain areas of the home. It's not able navigate stairs as well as competitors, for instance, and it doesn't have a dock that allows the user to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent option for those looking for a vacuum robot (

But if you want to save some cash, or just don't care about the limitations of this machine there are many other great choices on the market which include a variety of eufy models for considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for instance, is cheaper however it comes with more features, including stairs and a fully-function Dock, that provides a better overall vacuuming experience on bare floors carpets with low pile as well as high-pile ones.
4. Eufy RoboVac g30
eufy is an Anker company that has a long history of creating robot vacuums that have the right combination of features, performance, 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 up by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn it on, and plug it into the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock must be located near an outlet and have plenty of room to move.
The G30 is a small device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, so it can be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious when compared to rival models. It is sleek with a black finish with three physical buttons 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 robot price with voice commands.
The way that the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from other models. It makes use of an integrated map to create a picture of the immovable items in its path. It can remember 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 a few issues. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower recurring costs. It charges faster, has similar battery life and is more effective on bare carpet or floors with low pile. It has a larger dust bin, which doesn't require the same amount of emptying. It also has border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30, however, is more
affordable robot vacuum and a lot more manageable to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't need to be emptied as often and it's less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
