1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.
The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most intelligent robot vacuum to date. The most significant innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection system. It makes use of AI to detect objects like charging cords and shoes. It's the first robot to provide you with images of objects that it encounters, so that you can tell the robot to avoid it.
The Combo j7+ is also the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, removing dirt and spills with ease while leaving no trace it was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't sweep areas you don't want it to. And it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it from start to stop with your voice.
Its design is a step above the competition and features a sleek, top piece that appears more like a toy robot than a loud, obnoxious one. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt removal It also self-empties which will cut down your cleaning time.
In our tests the j7+ was quick to pick up and remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot instead of scattering it across the floor. It was able to capture sand, small gravel and even a little grit. Most robots could not accomplish this feat. It did all this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.
The j7+, although not as intelligent as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and can't clean the stairs, is an excellent choice for those who want both a vacuum and a mop. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it simple to use.
The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner applications. It can take some time to download updates, and it can be difficult to know if they are functioning until you actually witness them in action.
2. Roborock Q5+

While it may not have some of the more expensive features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories) but it's a great choice when you're willing to make a few compromises to save a few dollars.
The Q5+ is exceptionally gentle when it comes to obstacles like table legs and walls. This makes it an ideal option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also extremely thorough in cleaning dust bunnies. This is a area where many cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is excellent and has very few missing in corners and on walls.
Like other Roborock devices as well, the Q5+ can be controlled by the buttons on the device itself or via the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleaning. You can also set up schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go areas or adjust your home map, or change the room's label.

It can store 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 ensures that your robot charged and clean.
Its vacuuming capabilities are impressive as well. It's one of the few robovacs I've tested that does very well at collecting debris from bare floors, and it's not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.
The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially when it comes navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robot vacuums. This means that it is prone to getting stuck or get confused in certain corners or rooms of the house. It can't navigate stairs as well as competitors, for instance and it doesn't have a dock that allows you to create an area for cleaning that is specifically designed 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 shortcuts within the app as other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those seeking a great all-round mop and robot vacuum that's worth the price tag.

It uses a built-in map to create an image of the non-movable objects that are in its path while retaining what it's cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. It automatically returns to the base to recharge and then continues cleaning the area it left.
The elegant G30 isn't without faults however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged more quickly and has the same battery life. It also offers better performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It has a larger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying.
