If you've always wanted to buy a robot vacuum now is the time to get one. CNET's best-highest rated robot vacuum models will be on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts of up to 57%..

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

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+, IRobot's most intelligent robot to date, is the Roomba J7+. Its most notable advancement, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. It uses AI to detect objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you photos of the object it comes across so that you can tell it to avoid it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the best robot mop we've ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills easily, leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control using the iRobot Home app, which lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't vacuum areas you do not want it to. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start and stop it using your voice.

The design is also better than the other models. It features a sleek, high-end piece that looks like toys rather than the loud and annoying automatic hoover robot. And the Clean Base automated vacuum cleaner Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great to reduce the time spent cleaning.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ quickly took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it on the floor. It was able to collect sand, small gravel and even a little grit. Most robots could not accomplish this feat. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

The j7+, though not as smart as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and isn't able to clean the stairs, it's an excellent choice for those who need both mopping and vacuum. It's not too expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that work with robotic cleaners. It can take a long time to download updates, and often it's difficult to know if the update is actually functioning until you've seen it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you're looking for a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, the best option is probably hybrid. These robots come with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. These bots also have many additional features like smart mapping and small object avoidance and the ability to wash and re-dry mopping pads. They're expensive at retail, but usually lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock is one of our most loved robot Vacuums robot, and the Q5+ isn't an exception. It's their most affordable auto-empty model, and while it's not equipped with certain features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great option if you're willing compromise a bit in order to save hundreds of dollars.

The Q5+ is exceptionally gentle when it comes down to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it a great choice for homes that have a lot of furniture. It is also very thorough in cleaning up dust bunnies. This is an area that many robot vacuums that are less expensive fall short. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is excellent too, with very little missed corners and on walls.

Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled with a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. Through the app, you can start and stop cleanings or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones, and alter your home map or re-label rooms.

If you select the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make this robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver, but once it's installed emptying the bin is done easily. It also has a large LCD display, which is nice to have when you're creating schedules or changing settings. This feature isn't necessary for the majority of people, but it can help you 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 incredibly smart in both its vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Its design and function are among the most advanced available however, it's also expensive.

It is a relatively small base station that looks great and is easily hidden when not in use. The primary selling point of the station is that it automates many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots have to leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tested that does well at picking up dirt from floors that aren't. And it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable as other robovacs. This means it could get stuck or get confused in certain corners or rooms of the house. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other models and isn't equipped with a dock that can create a cleaning area for plush carpets.

Although it doesn't have as many in terms of cleaning configuration options in its app or as many shortcuts in the app like other robovacs the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for those looking for a comprehensive robot vacuum and mop that's worth the price price.

If you're looking to cut costs or don't mind the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options on the market. A lot of eufy models are substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for example is less expensive and offers the same experience in the app, but with additional features such as stair climbing, a full-function dock, and a better overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high- and low-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company that has a long history of creating robot vacuums that have the right combination of 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 an affordable price point. It's simple to set up, simply snap on one of the side brushes and then turn it on. Then plug in your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock should be placed near an outlet and have plenty of space to move.

The G30 is a tiny device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, meaning it can be placed under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design is less flashy than some of the rival models, with sleek black finish and three physical buttons: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs a space in an arc for two minutes). You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform routine cleaning tasks that are not scheduled.

The primary aspect that distinguishes the G30 apart from its competitors is the way it cleans. It uses a built-in map to create an image of non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and what it isn't able to access. When it needs to recharge, it automatically returns to its base and resumes cleaning from where it began.

The elegant G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers superior performance on floors that are unfinished and low-pile carpet. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't have to be emptied as often and comes with a set of boundary strips to restrict it from certain areas. The G30 is more affordable and simpler to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't have to be emptied as frequently and has less trouble with bulky materials such as cereal.
