1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba j7+ robot vacuum is among our most intelligent robots. It is extremely simple to use and self-emptying vacuum set up. It can be activated by voice using Alexa, Google Assistant or Nest Learning Thermostat. The iRobot Home app makes it easy to control this model, and to set scheduling and other settings.

In contrast to other robots that take hours to map a home, the iRobot j7+ uses iRobot OS technology and PrecisionVision Navigation to detect obstacles such as charging cables, pet waste, and even stray socks to ensure they don't get in its way and interrupt a cleaning session. It also features an incline sensor that can assist it in navigating the staircase and prevent falling.

It is able to detect different types of flooring and adjust the brush's height according to the type of flooring. The iRobot J7+ can also pick up debris and take it to its Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal which will dump the contents into a bin that can hold up to two bags. You can empty this bin yourself or have it empty for you by the iRobot Home Service, which costs an extra cost.

The iRobot J7+ comes with a 57oz / 1.7 litter bin, and a 14oz / 0.4 Liter battery. Both are easily replaceable. It has a sleek design that is less bulky than other models. It looks great in a stylish living room. You'll need to replace the HEPA filter and rubber brushrolls every two months, though. This is the only model to require you to pay regular costs.

2. Shark IQ XL

Shark's IQ robot is one of only a handful of vacuums that can be used without the need to empty the trash bin manually. The robot will collect debris in a large container that is integrated into its dock after it's finished a cleaning cycle. This process takes only about a minute and can save you from having to empty the dirt bin up to 30 times per year. The IQ Robot works quickly and efficiently, and rarely gets stuck, and has an easy-to-use app that lets you set up schedules. You can also control it using your voice and use physical boundary markers to keep it from certain areas.

Its black, utilitarian design appears more like a robot rather than a traditional vacuum. It's not stunning but it's sturdy and well-constructed. There's not much assembly required out of the box, all that is required is to snap in the two side brushes. The app allows you to create cleaning schedules, view the robot's battery life and also receive push notifications. It also lets you change the power mode or direct the vacuum to an area and return it to its dock.

The IQ Robot offers three power modes: Eco, Normal and the default Normal. The maximum mode produces the most suction but will drain its battery the fastest.

The Shark IQ is a great self-emptying vacuum which can pick up a lot of pet hair on unfinished floors and is able to do a decent job on low-pile carpet. It's less expensive than iRobot Roomba j7+, and has less components that require regular maintenance or replacement. This means lower recurring expenses. However the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum is a better option for the majority of uses. It is more maneuverable around obstacles, has higher performance on high-pile carpet and is charged faster.

3. Samsung Jet Bot+

Samsung is a latecomer in the robot robotic vacuum cleaner self emptying game however, its Jet Bot+ makes a strong case for itself. The most important selling factor is the self-emptying base, which minimizes dust exposure for those suffering from allergies. The 2.5L bin can also be emptied by using an app. This is ideal for those who plan their cleaning.

The Samsung also has a unique brush with a single edge that sifts debris into the roller. It also has an integrated power filter which keeps out smaller particles. Its LiDAR sensor can detect furniture and corners that are tight and helps it navigate around obstacles (though it could still be tripped up by the stray cable, or shoes that your partner has dropped).

A second feature that is interesting is object recognition. It can tell when it encounters an item it doesn't know and offer an idea of what it might be (it often guesses towels, socks or cables, which isn't great). Those with children should be able to benefit from this as Jet Bot+ Jet Bot+ will go around toys that frequently stop other robots in their tracks.

The robot vacuum is a mighty machine that can clean our test rooms on a single charge. However, it's more likely to run out mid-job. It's quick to return to its dock to recharge, and can be scheduled to return at a specific time. It comes with Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant built-in, so you can change the cleaning mode and activate it with your smartphone. The Jet Bot+'s SmartThings app is simple to use and well-documented. The app allows you to create a map and label rooms and no-go zones as well as set up a Live View and more.

4. Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is one of the more cutting-edge robot vacuums and mopping machines on the market. Its sleek square design does not only enhance its edge and corner cleaning capabilities, but it also features a built-in camera that monitors your home from far away (via the app or on your smart device).

The dual laser LAR navigation system is the most important feature that makes the X2 Omni stand out from other self-emptying robot vacuums. It allows the robot to navigate more efficiently. This technology is designed to enable the robot to see obstacles in your home which are usually hidden by furniture or pet toys, as well as electrical cords. This is particularly beneficial for households with pets that are active because the X2 Omni will not be able to bump into your pet's family members or other obstructions while being able to thoroughly clean your floors.

The X2 Omni has upgraded 3D mapping capabilities and navigation that allow the robot to locate specific areas within your home and clean them up with a simple swipe of the app. This feature is extremely useful for homeowners who would like their Deebot to focus on specific dirty spots in the kitchen or living room such as under the table or sofa.

The X2 Omni also has an integrated voice assistant that lets you to activate and control the robot's functions by using your preferred Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even use the Yiko 2.0 voice assistant that is integrated into the robot to take your hands-free use a step further. This is especially useful when you have pets or children at home, who could cause damage to the remote control or block your path when you are using the hands-free cleaning.

5. Eufy G20

The G20 comes with a range of features that aren't found in robot vacuums of this price range. For example, it has an additional brush that pushes debris into the direction of its main brushroll whenever it comes in contact with it. It has a mopping function that uses a moderate amount of water to dry and clean your floors. However, you can't regulate the intensity of the mopping power. It would have been beneficial to include a choice of different wiping strength, as you may need more water on tiles, or less on wood.

The cleaning performance of this robot is superb on floors with no floor. It can pick up small particles like rice with ease and was able to take on larger debris like cereal on this type of surface too. It was unable to pass the most difficult test, our flour spillage test. It was able to gather 45g of flour but there was a visible residue on the floor.

Its navigation is also somewhat difficult. It was frequently bumped into furniture, and some furniture pieces were scratched. It has a bumper to absorb the impact. It also has the ability to surpass quite high thresholds which is a major benefit.

The G20 is also a surprisingly quiet machine. We measured its decibel levels at 65db. This is similar to the noise produced by a standard air conditioning unit. If you're in search of a quiet robot vacuum, this is worth checking out. The G20 does not have the ability to create maps, which is something that many of its competitors do. It's difficult to navigate certain rooms if they're cluttered.
