Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

If you've always wanted to get a good robot vacuum vacuum, now's your chance. CNET's best inexpensive robot vacuum-rated models will be available 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 self-empties and refills its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba J7+, iRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba j7+. Its biggest innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. This uses AI to recognize objects such as charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, so you can instruct the robot to avoid it.

The Combo J7+ is the best robot mop we've ever tested. It removes dirt and spills quickly, leaving no trace that it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app, which lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to make sure 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.

The design is also better than the other models. It features an elegant, top piece that looks like toys rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal System is also self-emptying which can cut down on cleaning time.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ quickly eliminated dirt, dust and pet hair. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it around the floor. It even could catch small gravel and sand, which most other robots couldn't do. It did all this without getting caught in our pet's hair shedding.

Although it's not as smart as the $1,217 Roomba s9+ self vacuum-Emptying Vacuum, which isn't able to clean stairs The j7+ is still an excellent choice for those who require both mopping and a vac in their home. It's not costly and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other applications that work with robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates, and it can be difficult to tell whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that does more than simply clean your floors A hybrid is the best choice. This type of robot typically has a built-in water tank which means they can vacuum and mop your home at the same time. They also come with a variety of additional features, such as smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance and even the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. The downside is that they tend to be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.

Roborock makes some of our most loved robot vacuums and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not come with some of the expensive features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories) however, it's a great choice if you are willing to make a few compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is extremely gentle when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it a great choice for homes that have lots of furniture. It is also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a place where most robot vacuums of lower quality do not excel in. The Q5+'s navigation system is top-quality, with a few misses along walls and in corners.

Like other Roborock devices, the Q5+ can be controlled using a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleaning. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones and alter your home map, or change the room's label.

If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a brand new auto emptying dock that is designed to make the robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once in place, emptying the bin is simple. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This isn't an essential feature for most people but it can assist you in keeping track of the maintenance intervals for your robot easily.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a smart, well-rounded Remote Vacuum and mop. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design is one of the top in the market however, it's costly.

The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and the size is relatively compact. The station's most appealing factor is its ability to automate many tasks and functions that other robots will leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which most other robovacs require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and keeps your robot fully charged and clean.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the few robovacs I've tested that does an excellent job of picking up debris on bare floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its flaws, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs, meaning it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the home. It can't climb stairs as well as some competitors,, and it doesn't have an dock that allows you to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for carpets that are soft.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who need a robot vacuum that does everything.

If you're looking to cut costs or aren't averse to the limitations of the robot, there are other options available. Many eufy models cost substantially less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is a bit more expensive however it comes with more features, such as stairs and a fully-function Dock, that provides a better overall vacuuming experience on plain floors carpets with low pile, and even high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of making robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different, offering a capable cleaning of hard floors as well as mopping, carpets and other surfaces at a price that is affordable. It's easy to setup by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn it on and plug in the charging dock. The app guides you through several steps to connect to your Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. The dock will need to be placed near an outlet and have plenty of room to move.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise It can be placed under couches and other furniture with a low clearance. Its design is a little less flashy than some of the rival models, sporting sleek black finishes and three physical buttons: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs an area in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use voice commands to do unscheduled cleaning.

The primary feature that makes the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. When it's time to recharge, it will automatically return to its starting point and begins cleaning where it started.

The sleek G30 has a few flaws. The iRobot Roomba is built better and has lower cost of operation. It charges faster, has the same battery life and performs better on unfinished carpet or floors with low pile. It comes with a larger dust bin, which does not require the same amount of emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't need to be empty as often, and it has less trouble with bulky materials like cereal.
