1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot
The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most advanced robot to date is the Roomba J7+. Its biggest innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that utilizes built-in AI to recognize objects like charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste many other robots are unable to avoid (and often slough through). It's the first robot to provide you with images of objects that it encounters, so that you can tell the robot to avoid it.
The Combo j7+ is also the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't vacuum areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it with a voice.

In our tests the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one spot instead of scattering it all over the floor. It was able capture sand, small gravel and even a bit of grit. Most robots can't do this. It did all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.
The j7+, while not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba S9and Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot and can't clean the stairs, is an option for those who require both mopping and a vacuum. It's not expensive and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.
Although the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other apps that use robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and sometimes it's difficult to tell whether the update actually functioning until you've seen it in the action.
2. Roborock Q5+
If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that does more than just clean your floors, a hybrid is the best choice. This kind of robot usually has a built-in water tank, meaning they can both vacuum and mop your house simultaneously. They also have a number of extra features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and even the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. The downside is that they can be pricey at full retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they usually drop in price.
Roborock is the manufacturer of some of our most loved robotic hoovers vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't perform to the standards. This is the least expensive model of their auto-empty line. While it may not have some of the more premium features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories), it's still an excellent choice for those who are willing to make a few compromises to save a few bucks.
The Q5+ is exceptionally soft when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is an area that most robot vacuums of lower quality do not excel in. The Q5+'s navigation is superb, with only a few mishaps along walls or in corners.
Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled with the buttons on the device itself or via the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, design virtual barrier and no-go areas, modify your home map or re-label rooms.
If you opt for the Q5+ model, it includes a new auto emptying dock that is designed to make this robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once in place, emptying the bin is relatively simple. It also comes with an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when setting up schedules or altering settings. This feature isn't essential for everyone, 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 smart in both its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the top in the market, but it's expensive.
It is a relatively small base station that looks stunning and can be hidden when not in use. But the station's biggest selling point is how it automates numerous tasks and functions that most 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) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot fully charged and clean.
Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive and efficient, too. It's one of the few robot vacuums I've tried that does a really good job of picking up debris on bare floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.
The Freo X Ultra is not without flaws, especially in the area of navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robovacs. This means it is prone to getting stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms of the house. It's also not able to climb stairs like other models and isn't equipped with a dock 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 want an automated vacuum that can do it all.

eufy, an Anker company is a long-standing leader of creating robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning on hard floors and carpets and mopping function too at a reasonable price.

You can also connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.
The most important feature that sets the G30 apart from its competitors is the way it cleans. It uses an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable objects in its path. It can remember the things it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. When it's time to recharge, it returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning from where it left off.
The elegant G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower recurring costs. It charges faster, offers similar battery life and is more effective on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't require to be emptied as often and comes with the boundary strips to ensure it isn't in certain areas. The G30 however is more affordable and is much simpler to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't need to be emptied as often and has less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
