This is your chance to own a robotic vacuum. CNET's top models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and can save you up to 57%..

The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping with apps-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is awe-inspiring. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

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

The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt with ease while leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't clean areas you don't want it to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off with your voice.

It features an elegant, top piece that appears like a toy rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. The Clean Base automatic cleaning robot Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying and is ideal to speed up cleaning.

In our tests, we found that the j7+ swiftly took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes held the debris in place, rather than scattering it around the floor. It even managed to capture sand and small gravel that other robots aren't able to do. It did all without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

The j7+, while not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot, and it can't clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who want both a vacuum and a mop. It's not too expensive, and the iRobot application makes it user-friendly.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates, and it is sometimes difficult to know if they are 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 simply clean floors, the best choice is probably a hybrid. This type of robot typically has a built-in water tank that allows them to vacuum and mop your home at the same time. They also have a range of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. The downside is that they can be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.

Roborock makes some of our favorite robot vacuum reviews vacuums, and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's their most affordable auto-empty model, and although it lacks certain 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 little to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles such as wall legs and table legs which makes it a good option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough when it comes to cleaning up dust bunnies, which is an area where many cheaper robot vacuums can really fail. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is fantastic too, with very little missing in corners and along walls.

The Q5+, as with other Roborock products can be controlled with a few buttons on the device, or via the Roborock App. Through the app, you can start and stop cleaning and schedules, as well as create virtual barriers and no-go zones and adjust your home map or change the labeling of rooms.

If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto-emptying dock, designed to make the robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, but once in place, emptying the bin can be accomplished easily. It also comes with a large LCD display which is great to have when you're setting up schedules or altering settings. This isn't a necessary feature for most people however it will aid in keeping the track of the maintenance intervals for your robot with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot vacuum and mop that's impressively intelligent in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design and functionality are some of the most advanced available however it's expensive.

It's a small base station that looks beautiful and can be hidden when not in use. But the station's main selling feature is the way it automatizes various tasks and functions that other robots leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot clean and charged.

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

However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms of navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs. This means it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of your home. It also can't climb stairs as well as other models and doesn't come with a docking station to create a clean zone for carpets with plush padding.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who need an automated vacuum that can do it all.

But if you want to save some cash, or just don't care about the limitations of this robotic vacuum cleaner best, there are plenty of alternatives available which include a variety of eufy models priced considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for example, is cheaper and has many more features, like stair climbing and a full-function Dock, that provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on plain floors carpets, low-pile carpets as well as high-pile ones.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of making robot vacuums that strike the right balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning of hard and carpeted flooring, and mopping capabilities at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up, just snap one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app takes you through several steps to connect it to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. It is recommended to keep the dock near an outlet for power and enough space for it to move however.

The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, which means it is able to be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces furniture. Its design is more subtle 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 for two minutes), Recharge and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The main feature that distinguishes the G30 apart from its competitors is the way it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to create an image of the unmovable items in its path. It remembers the items it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. It then returns to the base to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.

The eufy G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower monthly costs. It is faster to charge, has the same battery life and performs better on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It has a bigger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying. It also has border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn't need to be emptied as frequently and has less difficulty handling bulky products like cereal.
