If you've ever wanted to buy a robot vacuum now's your chance. CNET's top-rated models will be on sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts as high as 57%..

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

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba J7+ is iRobot's smartest budget robot vacuum vacuum to date. The most significant advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. This uses AI to identify objects like charging cords and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you a photo of any object it encounters so that you can tell it to avoid it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot cleaner we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly while leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. It can schedule cleanings and even create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't vacuum in areas that you don't would like. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it using voice.

Its design is an improvement over the rest and features a sleek, top piece that appears more like a toy than a loud, obnoxious one. Clean Base's automatic floor cleaning machine Dirt Disposal System also self-empties, which can cut down on cleaning time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place rather than scattering it around the floor. It was able to capture small gravel, sand and even a little grit. The majority of robots cannot achieve this feat. It did all without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

While it's not quite as efficient as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum and can't clean stairs, the j7+ is still an excellent choice for those who need mopping and a vacuum in their home. It's not too expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. 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're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum 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 downside is that they tend to be expensive when purchased at full retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ does not perform to the standards. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. Although it might not include some of the luxurious features (like no-go zones and multi-story memories) but it's a great choice for those who are willing to make a few compromises to save a few bucks.

The Q5+ is exceptionally gentle when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it a great option for homes with many furniture pieces. It's also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a place where most robot vacuums of lower quality aren't able to meet. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few misses in corners and along walls.

The Q5+, as with other Roborock products can be controlled via just a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you begin and stop cleanings, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, and alter your home map, or change the labels of rooms.

If you choose the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make the robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's in place the process of emptying the bin is relatively easy. It comes with a huge LCD screen which is helpful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This isn't an essential feature for the majority of people but it can aid in keeping the track of the maintenance intervals for your robot with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a sophisticated well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design and function are among the best on the market however it's expensive.

The base station is attractive and is hidden when it's not in use, and the dimensions are quite small. But the station's biggest selling point is how it automates many tasks and functions that most other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, [Redirect-302] and keeps your robot charged and clean.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovacs that I've tested that do a really good job of picking up debris on plain floors, and is not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

The Freo X Ultra is not without flaws, especially in the area of navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs. This means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of your home. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other models and 1borsa.com isn't equipped with a dock to create a cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.

While it doesn't offer the same amount of cleaning-related options in its app, or as many shortcuts in the app as other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those seeking a great all-round robot vacuum and mop that's worth the higher price tag.

However, if you're looking to save some money, or just don't care about the limitations of this machine, there are plenty of alternatives available with a wide range of eufy models for significantly less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive however it comes with more features, including stair climbing and a full-function Dock, which provides an improved overall experience when vacuuming on floors that are unfinished, low-pile carpets and even high-pile ones.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy is an Anker company with an established track record of making robot vacuums that have the right combination of features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors and mopping, carpets and other surfaces at a price that is affordable. It's easy to set up simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch it on, and plug it into the charging dock. The app walks you through the steps needed to connect it to your Wi-Fi. After that, the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to place the dock close to an electrical outlet and plenty of room to allow it to move however.

The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be exact It can be tucked away under sofas and other furniture with low clearance. Its design is a little less ostentatious than some rival models, sporting sleek black finishes and three physical buttons: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Clean (which cleans the area in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). You can also link the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.

The way in which the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from its rivals. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of 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. It will return to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning where it left off.

The elegant G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges faster and has a similar battery life, while providing superior performance on floors that are unfinished and carpets with a low pile. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't need to be empty as often and comes with a set of boundaries that ensure it isn't in certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky material like cereal.
