If you’ve always wanted to get a robot vacuum, now is the time. CNET’s best-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 with smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its running time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also automatically refills and self-empties its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, iRobot’s smartest robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its greatest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste that most other robots can’t avoid (and often slough through). It’s the first robot to send you images of objects that it encounters, meaning you can tell the robot to avoid it.

The Combo J7+ is the best robot mop we’ve ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills quickly leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. It can schedule cleanings and even create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn’t clean in areas that you don’t would like. It’s compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it with a voice.

Its design is a step above the competition and features a sleek, top piece that looks more like a toy robot rather than a loud, loud one. And the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System automatically empty which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to remove dust dirt, pet hair and even pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it on the floor. It was able to capture small gravel, sand and even a tiny bit of grit. The majority of robots cannot achieve this feat. It did all this without getting tangled in our pet’s hair.

While it’s not quite as smart as the Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum and can’t clean stairs The J7+ is a solid option for those who require both mopping and a vac in their home. It’s not expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates, and sometimes it’s difficult to tell whether the update actually working until you see it in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that does more than just clean your floors, a hybrid is the ideal choice. This category of bots typically includes a built-in water tank that allows them to mop and vacuum your home at the same time. They also have a number of additional features, including smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance, and the ability to wash and dry mopping pads. The negative is that they tend to be expensive when purchased at full retail, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.

Roborock makes several of our top robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn’t fail to impress. This is their least expensive auto-empty model, and although it doesn’t have some of the features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it’s still an excellent option if you’re willing to compromise a bit in order to save hundreds of dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeable gentle around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of furniture. It is also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is a area where many robot vacuums that are less expensive aren’t able to meet. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few misses in corners and along walls.

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

If you opt for the Q5+ model, it includes a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make this robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, but once in place it is done without difficulty. It also features an impressive LCD display which is great to have when you’re setting up schedules or adjusting settings. This isn’t a necessary feature for everyone, but it’s one that will help you keep the track of the intervals between maintenance for your robot easily.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a smart well-rounded vacuum and mop. It’s capable of vacuuming and mopping. Its design and features are among the top available however it’s expensive.

Its base station looks good and is hidden when it’s not in use, and the size is quite compact. The main reason to buy the station is that it can automate many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It can store dirty and clean water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Most other robovacs will require you to perform this.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It’s the only robovac I’ve tested that does an excellent job of removing 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 without flaws, especially when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable and reliable as other robovacs. This means it is prone to getting stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the home. It’s not able to navigate stairs as well as competitors, either and it doesn’t have a dock that lets you to create a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.

While it doesn’t offer as many in terms of cleaning-related options in its app, or as many shortcuts within the app like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for those looking for a comprehensive robot vacuum and mop that’s worth the price cost.

If you’re looking to save money or aren’t concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are other options available. A lot of eufy models are considerably less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance, is cheaper and offers the same experience in the app, but with more features, including the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and superior overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high- and low-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpet floors, as well as mopping functions at a reasonable price. It’s easy to set up by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. It is recommended to keep the dock near an electrical outlet and ample space for it to move around however.

The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be precise and will fit under many couches and other furniture with a low clearance. Its design isn’t as ostentatious compared to some rival models. It has a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an 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 use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.

The main feature that distinguishes the G30 apart from most competitors is the way it cleans. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of the non-movable objects that are in its path and then keeps track of what it has already cleaned and the areas it’s not able to access. When it needs to recharge, it automatically returns to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it started.

The elegant G30 isn’t without faults however. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower cost of operation. It is faster to charge, has a similar battery life, and is more effective on bare carpet or floors with low pile. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn’t require to be emptied as frequently and comes with an array of boundary strips to ensure it isn’t in certain areas. The G30 is, on the other hand is less expensive and a lot more manageable to maintain. Its smaller canister means it doesn’t need to be empty as often and it’s less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
