Top Black Friday and Cyber Monday Robot Vacuum Deals

If you've always wanted to buy a cheap robot vacuum cleaner vacuum now's your chance. CNET's top-rated models will be available during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with discounts up to 57%..

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot that is equipped with smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its 180-minute running time is impressive. It also automatically replenishes and self-empties its water tank.

1. Roomba j7+ iRobot from iRobot.

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. Its biggest innovation, however, is its camera-based obstacle detection system. This uses AI to detect objects such as charging cables and shoes. It's the first robot to send you images of objects that it encounters, so that you can instruct the robot to stay clear of it.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we've ever tested. It cleans up dirt and spills easily and leaves no trace of it was there. It's simple to remote control vacuum cleaner via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning and set up Keep Out Zones so that it doesn't sweep areas you do not want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it using voice.

The design is also more appealing than the other models. It has a sleek, high-end piece that resembles toys rather than the loud and annoying robot. And the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System self-empties, which is great for reducing your cleanup time.

In our tests, the j7+ was quick to clean up dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in place rather than scattering it around the floor. It even managed to catch small gravel and sand, which most other robots aren't able to do. And all this without getting caught in our pet's shedding hair.

The j7+, while not as smart as the Roomba S9, which costs $1,217+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot and isn't able to clean the stairs, it's a good option for those who want both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive, and the iRobot application makes it user-friendly to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use however we've found it be less reliable than other applications that use robotic cleaners. It can take a long time to download updates, and sometimes it's hard to determine whether the update is working until you've seen it in the action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the most effective option is likely to be one that is a hybrid. These bots are equipped with a tank of water so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. These bots also have many additional features, including smart mapping, small object avoidance, and the possibility of washing and re-drying mopping pads. They're costly at retail, but they often lower prices on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Roborock makes several of our top robotic vacuums and the Q5+ does not perform to the standards. This is their least expensive auto-empty model. While it's not equipped with certain features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's a great option if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save a few hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is extremely soft when it comes to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it a great choice for homes that have lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is a area where many cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is excellent too, with very little missed corners and along walls.

Like other Roborock devices like the Q5+, the Q5+ can be controlled by a few buttons on the device itself or through the Roborock app. The app allows you to start and stop cleanings. You can also set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go areas, adjust your home map, or re-label rooms.

If you decide to go with the Q5+, it comes with a brand new auto-empty dock that's specifically designed to make this machine easy to maintain. Installing it requires a screwdriver but once in place emptying the bin can be accomplished without difficulty. It features a large LCD screen, which is useful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This isn't a necessity for the majority of people, but it's one that will help you keep track of the maintenance intervals for your robot easily.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a smart well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of mopping and vacuuming. Its design and functionality are some of the best robot vacuum for large house on the market - but it's also pricey.

The base station is attractive and hides it when not in use, and its size is relatively compact. But the station's main selling point is how it automates various tasks and functions that most other robots will leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require this.

Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's the only robovac I've tried that does a good job picking up dirt from floors that aren't. It's also not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not free of faults, especially in the area of navigation. Its LiDAR and laser sensors aren't as reliable as some other robovacs. This means it is sometimes stuck or confused in certain areas of the house. It can't climb stairs as well as some competitors, for instance and doesn't come with a dock that allows the user to set up an exclusive cleaning zone for carpets with plush padding.

Although it doesn't provide as much in the way of cleaning configuration options in its app, or as many shortcuts within the app as other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still an excellent choice for those looking for an all-around great mop and vacuum cleaner that's worth the price price.

If you're looking for a way to save money or aren't concerned about the limitations of the robot, there are other options available. Many of the eufy models cost substantially less. The Eufy Qrevo Curv, for example, is cheaper and offers a similar in-app experience with additional features such as stairs, a fully-function dock, and a better overall performance when vacuuming floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, a Anker company has a proven track record of making robot vacuum cleaner vacuums that strike a good balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid offers a powerful cleaning on carpets and hard flooring, and mopping capabilities at an affordable price. It's easy to set it up, simply snap on one of the side brushes and turn it on, then connect the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock will need to be placed near an outlet and have enough space to move.

The G30 is a small device that measures 2.85 inches in height, meaning it will be tucked away under couches and low-clearance pieces of furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious compared to some rival models. It features a sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge and Spot Cleaner. It is also possible to connect the G30 with Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The way in which the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from its rivals. It uses an integrated map to create an image of the immovable items that are in its path. It can remember what it has already cleaned and the areas it was unable to access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its base and resumes cleaning where it left off.

The elegant G30 has some flaws. The iRobot Roomba 675 is better built, incurs lower recurring expenses, 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 does not require the same amount of emptying. It also has boundaries that prevent it from certain areas. The G30 is less expensive and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't require as frequent emptying and is less prone to suffocating bulky materials like cereal.
