Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

Now is your chance to own a robot 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 that has smart mapping and app-based no-go zones. Its running time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba J7+ is iRobot's most intelligent robot vacuum to date. Its most notable innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle-detection technology. It uses AI to identify objects like charging cords and shoes. It's also the first to automatically send you a picture of any object it encounters so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo J7+ is the best self cleaning robot vacuum robot to mop we've ever tested, removing dirt and spills with ease and leaving no trace that it was there. It's easy to control through the iRobot Home app, which allows you to schedule cleaning times and set up Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't sweep areas you don't want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it with a voice.

The design is also better than the other models. It has an elegant, top piece that appears like toys rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. And the Clean Base automatic floor cleaning machine Dirt Disposal System self-empties and is ideal for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, we found that the j7+ was quick to eliminated dirt, dust and hair from pets. The counter-rotating rubber brushes held the debris in place, rather than scattering it around the floor. It even could take small gravel and sand, which most other robots can't. It did all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.

The j7+, though not as intelligent as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and can't clean the stairs, is still a good option for those who require both mopping and a vacuum. It's not expensive and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use, however we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates and it is sometimes difficult to determine whether they're working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you want a robot vacuum cleaner that does more than just clean your floors A hybrid is the Best auto Vacuum option. These machines are equipped with a water tank, so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also come with a variety of additional features, including smart mapping, small obstacle avoidance, and the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. They're expensive at retail, but they often come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock produces some of our most loved robotic vacuums and the Q5+ is no exception. disappoint. It's the cheapest model in their auto-empty line. Although it might not come with some of the expensive features (like no-go zones and multi-story memories) however, it's an excellent option when you're willing to make some compromises to save a few bucks.

The Q5+ is notably gentle around obstacles such as wall legs and table legs, which makes it a great choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is an area that many robot vacuums that are less expensive fall short. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is superb as well, with only a few missing in corners and along walls.

The Q5+, like other Roborock products, can be controlled by only a few buttons on your device or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleaning. You can also set up schedules, create virtual barrier and no-go areas and modify your home map or re-label the rooms.

If you opt for the Q5+, it ships with a new auto-empty dock that's specifically designed to make this robot vacuum cleaner cheap easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once installed, the process of emptying the bin is relatively simple. It also comes with a large LCD display which is great to have when setting up schedules or adjusting settings. This feature isn't necessary for the majority of people, but it can help to keep the robot's maintenance schedules.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a clever well-rounded mop and vacuum. It's capable of vacuuming and mopping. Its design is among the top in the market however it's quite expensive.

The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and its dimensions are quite small. But the station's biggest selling point is how it automates numerous tasks and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot charged and clean.

Its vacuuming capabilities are also impressive. It's the only robovacs that I've tried that does very well at picking up debris on plain floors, and is not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

But the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms of navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable as other robovacs, meaning it can get stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of the house. It also can't climb stairs like other competitors and doesn't come with a docking station to create a clean zone for carpets that are soft.

Although it doesn't have as many in terms of cleaning-related options in its app, or as many shortcuts within the app as some other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for anyone looking for an all-around great mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the higher price tag.

If you're looking to save some money, or just don't care about the limitations of this robot there are many alternatives available which include a variety of eufy models priced considerably less. The Eufy Qrevo curv, for instance, is cheaper and has more features, such as stair climbing and a full-function Dock, with a better overall vacuuming experience on floors that are unfinished, low-pile carpets, and even high-pile carpets.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums that offer the perfect balance of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning power for hard and carpet flooring, and mopping functions at an affordable price. It's easy to set up, just snap one of the side brushes on, turn it on and plug in the charging dock. The app walks you through several steps to connect it to your Wi-Fi. After that, the G30 is ready to go. You'll need to leave the dock close to a power outlet and enough space for it to move however.

The G30 is small, 2.85 inches tall to be precise, which means it will fit under many couches and other low-clearance furniture. The design is less ostentatious than some rival models, and features sleek black finish and three physical buttons that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge and Spot Clean (which scrubs a space in spiral patterns for 2 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 most important characteristic that sets the G30 apart from most competitors is the method it cleans. It makes use of an integrated map to draw a picture of the immovable objects in its path. It can remember the items it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. When it's time to recharge, it will automatically return to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it began.

The eufy G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba is better built and has lower monthly costs. It charges faster, offers the same battery life and is more effective on bare floors or low-pile carpet. It has a bigger dust bin, which doesn't require as much emptying. It also comes with boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 on the other hand is less expensive and is much more manageable to maintain. Its smaller container means it doesn't need to be emptied as often and has less difficulty with bulky items such as cereal.
