Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

This is your time to own a robot vacuum. CNET's top-rated models will be on sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday with discounts of up to 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that has smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its run time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties and automatically refills its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its biggest innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle detection system. It makes use of AI to recognize objects like charging cords and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you a picture of the object it comes across so that you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot we've ever tested, removing spills and dirt with ease without leaving any trace that was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to remote control vacuum cleaner. It can schedule cleanings, and also create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't sweep in areas you don't would like. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it with a voice.

The design is also superior to the other models. It features a sleek, high-end piece that looks like a toy rather than the loud and annoying robot. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt removal System also self-empties, which will reduce your cleaning time.

In our tests the j7+ performed quick to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in place, instead of scattering it on the floor. It was able to collect small gravel, sand and even a tiny bit of grit. The majority of robots cannot achieve this feat. It did all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.

While it's not quite as sophisticated as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum and can't clean stairs The j7+ is still an excellent option for those who need a vac and a mop in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that use robotic cleaners. It can take some time to download updates and it can be difficult to know if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking to purchase a vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the best automatic floor cleaner choice is probably one that is a hybrid. This type of robot typically has a built-in water tank that allows them to vacuum and mop your house simultaneously. 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. They are expensive at full retail but often lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock is the manufacturer of several of our top robotic vacuums and the Q5+ does not perform to the standards. This is the least expensive model of their Auto Vacuum Cleaner-empty line. Although it might not include some of the expensive features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent choice for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is remarkably gentle when it comes to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it a great choice for homes that have a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in getting rid of dust bunnies which is a place where cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The technology for navigation 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 by a handful of buttons on the device or via the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, adjust your home map, or re-label rooms.

If you choose to purchase the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock, which was specifically designed to make the budget robot vacuum simple to maintain. It requires a screwdriver install, but once it's in place the process of emptying the bin is relatively simple. It also comes with an impressive LCD display, which is nice to have when you're setting up schedules or altering settings. This isn't a necessity for most people, but it's one that will assist you in keeping track of the intervals between maintenance for your robot easily.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot vacuum and mop that's impressively intelligent in its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design and functionality are some of the top available however, it's also expensive.

The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and the size is quite compact. The main reason to buy the station is that it automates many tasks, chores and functions that other robots would leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming performance is quite impressive, too. It's the only robovac that I've used that has done well at picking up debris from bare floors. And it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

But the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means it is prone to getting stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms in the house. It also can't climb stairs as well as other models and isn't equipped with a dock to create a clean zone for carpets with plush padding.

Although it doesn't have as much in the way of cleaning-related options in its app or as many in-app shortcuts as some other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those looking for an all-around great mop and robot vac vacuum that's worth the premium price cost.

But if you want to save money or don't want to think about the limitations of this machine There are many other options on the market, including a lot of eufy models for significantly less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for instance is less expensive, but offers more features, including stair climbing and a full-function Dock, with an improved overall experience when vacuuming on floors that are unfinished, low-pile carpets, and even high-pile ones.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of producing robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different and offers a powerful cleaning of hard floors as well as carpets and mopping function too at a price that is affordable. It's easy to set up, simply snap on one of the side brushes, turn it on and connect the charging dock. The app takes you through a few steps to connect to your Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. The dock must be placed near an outlet with enough space to move.

The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be precise and will fit under many sofas and other furniture with low clearance. Its design is less flashy than some of the rival models, sporting 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 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 sets the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable items in its path. It keeps track of what it has already cleaned and what it is unable to access. If it requires a recharge, it returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning from where it started.

The eufy G30 has its flaws, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It has a larger dust bin that doesn't 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 size means that it doesn't need to be emptied as often and has less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
