Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

This is your chance to own a robot vacuum. CNET’s best-rated models will be available for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with discounts up to 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max offers strong pressure and smart mapping with app-based no-go zones, and its 180-minute runtime is impressive. It also automatically refills and self-empties its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+ is iRobot’s smartest robot vacuum to date. Its most significant innovation is a camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes and the pet waste that most other robots can’t avoid (and often plough right through). It’s the first robot to provide you with pictures of the objects that it encounters, so that you can tell the robot to avoid it.

The Combo J7+ is the most effective mop-bot we’ve ever tested, removing spills and dirt effortlessly without leaving any trace that was there. It’s easy to control through the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones so that it doesn’t sweep areas you do not want it to. And it’s compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can turn it on and off by speaking to it.

Its design is also superior to the rest with a sleek top piece that appears more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base’s Automatic Dirt removal System is also self-emptying which can cut down on cleaning time.

In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ was quick to took away dirt, dust, and hair from pets. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it across the floor. vacuum deals was able to capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a bit of grit. The majority of robots cannot accomplish this feat. It did all of this without getting caught in our pet’s hair shed.

The j7+, although not as intelligent as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum from iRobot and cannot clean the stairs, is a good option for those who require both mopping and vacuum. It’s not expensive, and the iRobot app makes it very user-friendly 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 often it’s difficult to tell if the update is actually functioning until you’ve seen it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you’re looking for a robot vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be hybrid. These bots are equipped with a water tank, so they can mop and vacuum simultaneously. They also come with a variety of extra features like smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the capability to wash and dry mopping pads. They’re expensive at retail, but usually come down in price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock has some of our top robot vacuums and the Q5+ isn’t an exception. This is the least expensive model in their auto-empty line. While it may not have some of the more expensive features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories), it’s still an excellent choice if you are willing to compromise to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is remarkably gentle when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it an excellent option for homes with lots of furniture. It’s also very thorough when it comes to cleaning up dust bunnies, which is an area where cheaper robot vacuums be a bit sloppy. The technology for navigation in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few missed corners and on walls.

Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled with a few buttons on the device itself or via the Roborock app. The app lets you start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barrier and no-go areas and modify your home map or change the room’s label.

If you choose the Q5+ it comes with a new auto emptying dock that is designed to make the robot easier to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver but once it’s installed it is done easily. It also features a large LCD display that is great to have when creating schedules or changing settings. This isn’t a necessity for the majority of people but it can help you keep track of the maintenance intervals for your robot with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is a well-rounded robot mop and vacuum that’s astonishingly smart in both its mopping and vacuuming capabilities. Its design and function are among the most advanced available however it’s expensive.

The base station looks nice and is easily hidden when not in use, and the size is relatively compact. The primary selling point of the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, chores and functions that other robots have to leave to you. It stores clean and dirty water, it electrolyzes and heats the water (which the majority of other robots require you to do) also emptying the dustbin after vacuuming, and helps keep your robot charged and clean.

Its vacuuming capabilities are impressive, too. It’s the only robovacs that I’ve tested that do a really good job of cleaning up debris from bare floors, and it’s not as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms of navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren’t as reliable as other robotvacs. This means that it could get stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the house. It also can’t climb stairs as well as other models and doesn’t come with a dock to create a cleaning area for carpets with plush padding.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great choice for those who need an automated vacuum that can do it all.

However, if you’re looking to save some money or simply don’t care about the limitations of this machine, there are plenty of other great choices on the market with a wide range of eufy models for considerably less. The eufy Qrevo curv, for example, is cheaper however it comes with more features, such as stair climbing and a full-function Dock, which provides the ability to provide a more thorough vacuuming experience on bare floors carpets with low pile as well as high-pile ones.

4. Eufy RoboVac g30

Eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums that offer the perfect combination of performance, features, and price. vacuum deals is no different, offering a capable cleaning of hard floors and mopping, carpets and other surfaces at a price that is affordable. It’s easy to set up, simply connect one of the side brush, turn it on and connect your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. It is recommended to keep the dock close to an electrical outlet and enough space to allow it to move around however.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise, which means it can be placed under sofas and other furniture with low clearance. Its design is less flashy than some of the rival models, sporting sleek black finishes and three buttons that are physical such as Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Clean (which cleans the area in spiral patterns for 2 minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to perform cleaning that is not scheduled using voice commands.

The way the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from its competitors. It uses an integrated map to draw an image of the immovable items in its path. It remembers what it has already cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. If it requires a recharge, it automatically returns to its starting point and begins cleaning where it left off.

The eufy G30 has its flaws, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges faster and offers similar battery life while offering better performance on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It has a bigger dust bin, which doesn’t require as much emptying. It also has border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is, on the other hand, is more affordable and is much simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust canister does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky materials such as cereal.
