1. iRobot Roomba j7+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum

Robot vacuums are nifty time-saving gadgets, but they can run into trouble when cords or toys get stuck in the wheels. The machine will shut off when this happens. The iRobot Combo J7+ is determined to prevent this and is the first robot we've tested to also mop. It's the top in its class when it comes to cleaning and navigating different types of flooring.

The navigation system of the j7+ makes use of both a forward-facing camera and lasers in order to identify obstacles like furniture legs or power cords which could get in its way. It also identifies surface types that help it select the appropriate cleaning mode for each surface. This means better performance on various floor types, including pet hair and other debris that tends stick to carpets with low piles.

The j7+ was a success on bare floors. It picked up 97.3% (of a Cheerios-strewn surface) and beat out the Roborock S4 Max, but was not able to match their ideal scores for cereal pickup. It was pretty good on carpets with low pile as well, but it struggled to climb onto high-pile and preferred to skim over the surface rather than dig into it.
