If you've ever thought of purchase a robot vacuum, now is the time. CNET's top-rated models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday with savings of up to 57%..

The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping using apps-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is impressive. It also automatically refills and self vacuum-empties its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. The most significant advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. It uses AI to recognize objects like charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, so you can tell that it is safe to avoid it.

The Combo j7+ is also the best robot vacuum for tile floors robot to mop we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt effortlessly and leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control through the iRobot Home app which allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't vacuum areas you don't want it to. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start and stop it with your voice.

Its design is a step above the competition, with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal It also self-empties which will reduce your cleaning time.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes held the debris in its place instead of scattering it across the floor. It even was able to capture sand and small gravel, which most other robots aren't able to do. It did all this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

While it's not quite as efficient as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs, the J7+ is an excellent option for those who need both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not 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 tell whether they're working until you actually see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking to purchase a robot vacuum that does more than just clean floors, your best inexpensive robot vacuum option is probably one that is a hybrid. This category of bots typically comes with a built-in tank for water which means they can mop and vacuum your home at the same time. They also have a range of extra features, including smart robot mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. They're expensive at retail, but they often lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. It's their cheapest auto-empty model, and while 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 sacrifice a little to save some hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is exceptionally gentle when it comes to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it an ideal option for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies, which is an area where many cheaper robot vacuums often be a bit sloppy. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is fantastic too, with very little missing in corners and along walls.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled by a handful of buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, and modify your home map or change the labeling of rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock, which was specifically designed to make the robot easy to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver but once in place emptying the bin is done easily. It comes with a huge LCD screen which is helpful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't required for most people but it can help effectively keep track of 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 intelligent in its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design is among the top in the market, but it's expensive.

It's a tiny base station that looks stunning and is able to be concealed when not in use. The station's main selling point is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, functions and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require you to do this.

Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's the only robot vacuum I've tested that does an excellent job of removing the dust from floors with no. It's also not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs, which means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of the house. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a dock to create a cleaning zone for plush carpets.

Although it doesn't provide as many in terms of cleaning-related options in its app, or as many shortcuts in the app as some other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for those seeking a great all-round mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the premium price cost.

If you're looking for a way to save money or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are many other options available. Many of the eufy models cost substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is less expensive and has more features, including stair climbing and a full-function Dock, which provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on floors that are unfinished carpets with low pile and even high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of producing robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on hard and carpeted floors, as well as a mopping function at an affordable price. It's simple to set up, just snap one of the side brushes on, switch on and plug in the charging dock. The app walks you through a few steps to connect to your Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. It is recommended to keep the dock near a power outlet and plenty of room for it to move, however.

The G30 is a tiny device that measures 2.85 inches in height, meaning it will fit under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. The design is more modest than other models, and features sleek black finishes and three physical buttons such as Auto cleaning Robots For home start/pause, Recharge and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs an area in an arc for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.

The way that the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from other models. It uses an integrated map to create a picture of the immovable items that are in its path. It remembers what it has already cleaned and what it is unable to access. It then returns to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning the area it left.

The eufy G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges faster and has a similar battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It also has a bigger dust bin that doesn't have to be emptied as often and comes with the boundary strips to restrict it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky materials like cereal.
