Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

This is your time to own a robotic vacuum. CNET's top models are on sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and can save you up to 57%.

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

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+, iRobot’s most advanced robot to date is the Roomba J7+. Its biggest advancement is an obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste that most other robots can't avoid (and often slough through). It's also the first robot to automatically send you photos of any object it encounters so that you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the best robot mop that we have ever tested. It removes dirt and spills effortlessly leaving no trace it was there. The iRobot app makes it easy to control. It can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure that it doesn't sweep in areas that you don't want. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it with a voice.

Its design is also a step above the competition, with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy than a loud, obnoxious one. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, we observed that the j7+ quickly eliminated dirt, dust and pet hair. The rubber brushes that counter-rotate kept the debris in its place instead of scattering it on the floor. It even managed to capture sand and small gravel, which most other robots aren't able to do. It did all without getting caught up in our pet's hair.

Although it's not as smart as the Roomba s9+ Auto-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs The j7+ is still a solid option for those who need both a vac and a mop in their home. It's not expensive and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates, and it's sometimes difficult to tell whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum cleaner that does more than simply clean your floors, a hybrid is the best robot vacuum for tile floors choice. This category of bots typically has a built-in water tank which means they can vacuum and mop your home simultaneously. They also have a range of additional features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and even the capability to dry and wash mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they can be expensive when purchased at full retail, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they often drop in price.

Roborock is the manufacturer of some of our most loved robotic vacuums robot, and the Q5+ doesn't fail to impress. It's the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not come with some of the expensive features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) however, it's a great choice for those who are willing to make some compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is notably soft around obstacles like wall legs and table legs, which makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning dust bunnies. This is a place where many cheaper robot vacuums aren't able to meet. The technology used to navigate in the Q5+ is fantastic too, with very little missing in corners and along walls.

Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled with the buttons on the device itself or via the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go areas and adjust your home map, or re-label the rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+, it ships with a new auto-empty dock, which was designed specifically to make this machine easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's installed, the process of emptying the bin is relatively simple. It features a large LCD screen that is very useful for setting up schedules or altering settings. This isn't a necessary feature for the majority of people but it can aid in keeping track of the maintenance intervals for your robot vacuum reviews with ease.

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 top in the market, but it's expensive.

It is a relatively small base station that looks stunning and is able to be concealed when not in use. The main reason to buy the station is that it automates many tasks, functions and chores that other robots leave to you. It can keep clean and dirty water and also electrolyze and warm the water. Most other robovacs will require you to perform this.

Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's the only robovac that I've tried that does well at picking up the dust from floors with no. It's also not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

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, meaning it can get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms of the home. It's also not able to climb stairs as well as other models and isn't equipped with a dock that can create a clean zone for carpets with plush padding.

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

If you're looking to save money or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are plenty of other options available. Many of the eufy models cost substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for example is less expensive, but offers more features, such as the ability to climb stairs and a full-function Dock, that provides a better overall vacuuming experience on floors that are unfinished carpets, low-pile carpets as well as 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 offers a powerful cleaning power for hard and carpeted floors, as well as mopping functions at a reasonable price. It's simple to set up simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app guides you through the steps needed to connect it to your Wi-Fi and then the G30 is ready to go. The dock should be located near an outlet with plenty of space to move.

The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be precise and can be tucked away under couches and other furniture with a low clearance. The design is less flashy than some of the rival models, sporting a sleek black finish and three physical buttons such as Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Clean (which scrubs an area in an arc for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to do unscheduled cleaning robots for home with voice commands.

The most important aspect that sets the G30 above the rest is the method it cleans. It uses a built-in mapping to create an image of the non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and where it can't access. If it requires a recharge, it returns to its base, and then resumes cleaning from where it began.

The eufy G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged faster and offers similar battery life, while providing superior performance on floors that are unfinished and low-pile carpet. It comes with a larger dust bin, which doesn't require as much emptying. It also comes with boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky materials like cereal.
