Boston -- Whether you are purchasing one for your loved ones or yourself there are plenty of Black Friday robot vacuums to pick from. The brands are offering discounts on a variety of items that self-empty vacuums, as well as ones that mop.
Some highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock that you can purchase at Walmart and an Amazon bestseller that can detect pet poop, avoid stairs and ledges and make cleaning appointments using your smartphone.
1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
The Roomba Combo J5+ is the most recent 2-in-1 model from iRobot's top-of-the-line line, and includes both mopping and vacuuming capabilities. It's powered by iRobot OS which makes it smarter with time and creates an outline of your floors. It lets you name your rooms, create cleaning schedules and designate no-mop areas for your carpets. It can see obstacles and objects with the latest obstacle avoidance technology from iRobot. It can also detect all carpet types, from low-pile to thick, and adjust its cleaning mode according to the type of carpet.
Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model features Power-Lifting Suction and is designed for both vacuuming and mopping. It comes with an additional dirt bin as well as a second mop/vacuuming combo bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches from vacuuming to mopping mode based on its bin contents.
The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode to deliver powerful dust suction, which leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to clean the robot's dirt bin, giving you an unrestricted hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ features a dedicated power switch that allows users to instantly switch between cleaning and mopping.
The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and set up your robot. You can design a custom home cleaning schedule in just a few clicks. You can also see the status of your robot and monitor it remotely.
You can also use your smartphone as remote control to initiate cleaning or a chore, or you can use your voice to command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, making it more convenient to pair with your existing smart home devices. It also comes with pet-safe technology P.O.O.P (Pet Owner Official Promise), which assists the robot in steering away from pet mess. This is a great option for pet owners but wants the convenience of a mop and vacuum combination robot.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with many features. It is able to run for a long time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It is a great app and is well combined with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls found in higher-priced competitors.
This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller to get into the corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms at regular intervals.
The Shark ION is very effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it has a difficult time to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and has a runtime of 90 minutes.
The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is one of its best features. You can use the round button on the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. After you've completed that, the app will display the battery level and status of the vacuum as well as whether it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Many customers also loved the fact that this robotic works with Alexa. The vacuum can be switched off and on by a simple voice command. You can also schedule cleaning times with the app. The only downside we found with this robot is that it takes longer to charge than some of the other models that we've examined, and that the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit in the base and can be lost quite easily.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
This Samsung model isn't just an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera for monitoring your home. It has a lens is accessible via your phone and is designed to keep an eye on the area around your home. You can also set up a timer for when you want it to patrol the home when you are away. This is a great option for pets that shed or if you wish to watch out for anyone sneaking in.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ comes with a number of features such as object recognition, home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust and five layers of filtration. It's a great option for those looking for a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors but doesn't mind a bit of dust on carpets.
This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most impressive features. It makes use of a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. It can either navigate around the object or marks it as a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure choice for your home.
This model isn't particularly adept at spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered across it. The robot did a poor job at pushing the rice grains around and failed to remove any of them. This is a disappointing result given that other models have performed better in this test.
It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that provides similar features for half the cost.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled through the SmartThings app. The setup process is simple with in-app prompts to guide you through it. The app allows you to see the map, design cleaning schedules, alter suction, set no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin should be empty.
4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
If you're not ready to make the commitment to a robot vacuum that is dedicated to you and a separate mop, this one-stop model could be just the thing you're looking for. This model is priced at less than half the price and comes with four cleaning modes. The vacuum dust bin is easy to empty and the mopping water tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (or 7 ounces).
In the past, we've tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be very effective on both low-pile and hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern that ensures that every space in your home is cleaned and has the ability to recognize stairs. It also comes with a remote control, which allows you to easily alter the settings.
Another advantage is that it works using voice commands, which means you can begin and stop the cleaning process with an app on your tablet or phone. The app allows you to set a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The battery runs for 100 minutes and the robot automatically returns to its base to recharge after every cleaning session or when the power is not sufficient.
