Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals
If you've ever thought of purchase a robot vacuum, now is the time. CNET's top-rated models will be available for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with discounts up to 57%.
The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping, with apps-based no-go zones. its 180-minute runtime is impressive. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.
1. iRobot Roomba j7+
The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its biggest innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that makes use of built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes and the pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often plough right through). It's the first robot to provide you with images of objects that it encounters, so you can instruct that it is safe to avoid it.
The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, picking up spills and dirt effortlessly and leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning 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 control it from start to stop by speaking to it.
The design is also more appealing than the other models. It has an elegant, top piece that looks like a toy rather than a loud and obnoxious robot. The clean smart robot Base automatic hoover robot Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.
In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ swiftly eliminated dirt, dust and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it across the floor. It even managed to take small gravel and sand which other robots couldn't do. It did without getting caught up in our pet's hair.
While it's not quite as sophisticated as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum and can't clean stairs, the j7+ is still a solid option for those who require both mopping and a remote vacuum in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.
While the iRobot Home app is very easy to use however we've found it be less reliable than other applications that use robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates and it is sometimes difficult to know whether they're working until you see them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+
When you're looking for a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be one that is a hybrid. This type of Robot Cleaner Amazon typically has a built-in water tank, meaning they can both vacuum and mop your house at the same time. They also have a range of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance and even the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be pricey at full retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.
Roborock is the manufacturer of some of our favorite robotic vacuums and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. This is their least expensive auto-empty model. While it doesn't have some of the premium features you'll find on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still a great choice if you're willing to compromise a bit in order to save some hundred dollars.
The Q5+ is exceptionally gentle when it comes down to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it an excellent option for homes with many furniture pieces. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies, which is an area where many cheaper robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is excellent and has very few missing in corners and along walls.
Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled using a handful of buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. Through the app, you can start and stop cleaning, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones and alter your home map or change the labeling of rooms.
If you decide to go with the Q5+ model, 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 can be accomplished without difficulty. It also has an impressive LCD display which is great to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This isn't a necessity for the majority of people, but it's one that will assist you in keeping the track of the maintenance intervals for your robot easily.
3. Narwal Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that's incredibly intelligent in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design is among the best in the industry, but it's expensive.
It's a small base station that looks beautiful and is easily hidden when not in use. But the station's biggest selling point is how it automates numerous tasks and functions that other robots will leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. The majority of other robots require this.
Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's the only robot vacuum I've tested that does a good job picking up dirt from floors that aren't. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.
The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs, which means it can get stuck or confused in certain areas of the house. It's not able to climb stairs as well as competitors, either, and it doesn't have an dock that allows the user to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent option for those looking for a robot vacuum that does it all.
If you're looking to cut costs or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are other options on the market. Many of the eufy models cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is a bit more expensive, but offers more features, such as the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, with the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on plain floors, low-pile carpets and even high-pile carpets.
4. eufy RoboVac G30
Eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of producing robot vacuums that strike the right balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning of hard floors and mopping, carpets and other surfaces at an affordable price point. It's easy to setup simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, switch it on, and plug it into the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. It is recommended to keep the dock close to an outlet for power and ample space to allow it to move but.
The G30 is a tiny device that measures 2.85 inches in height, which means it will fit under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is a little more modest than other models, and features a sleek black finish and three physical buttons that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which cleans the area in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.
The most important characteristic that distinguishes the G30 apart from its competitors is the method it cleans. It makes use of a built-in map to create an image of immovable objects in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and where it can't access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge, and then begins cleaning the area it left.
The elegant G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower recurring costs. It charges faster, has similar battery life and is more effective on bare flooring or carpet with a low pile. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't need to be emptied as often and comes with the boundary strips to keep it away from certain areas. The G30 is, however, is more affordable and much easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky materials like cereal.
