If you've ever wanted to get a robot vacuum, now is the time to get one. CNET's top-rated models are available for sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and can save you up to 57%.

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

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its greatest breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects such as charging cords, shoes, and the dreaded pet waste most other robots can't avoid (and often slough through). It's also the first to automatically send you a photo of an object it encounters so you can tell it to stay clear of it in the future.

The Combo j7+ is also the most efficient mop robot 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 that lets you schedule cleaning and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't clean 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 competition. It has a sleek, top piece that appears like toys rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. And the Clean Base Automated Dirt Disposal System best self cleaning robot vacuum-empties and is ideal to speed up cleaning.

In our tests the j7+ performed quick to pick up and remove dust dirt, pet hair and other particles. Its counter-rotating rubber brush rolls kept the debris in one spot rather than sending it scattering across the automatic floor cleaning machine. It was able to capture small pieces of gravel, sand, and even a tiny bit of grit. Most robots can't do this. And all of this without getting tangled up in our pet's shedding hair.

The j7+, though not as sophisticated as the $1,217 Roomba S9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and cannot clean the stairs, is still a good option for those who need both mopping and a vacuum. It's not expensive and the iRobot App makes it easy to use.

Although the iRobot Home app is very easy to use, we've found it to be less reliable than other apps that use robotic cleaners. It can take a while to download updates and it can be difficult to determine if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for a vacuum that does more than just clean floors, your best budget robot vacuum option is probably a hybrid. These robots come with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. These bots also have many additional features like smart mapping and 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 is the manufacturer of several of our top robotic vacuums, and the Q5+ doesn't disappoint. This is the cheapest model of their auto-empty line. Although it might not have some of the more premium features (like no-go areas and multi-story memories) but it's an excellent choice for those who are willing to make a few compromises to save a few dollars.

The Q5+ is remarkably 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 extremely thorough when it comes to cleaning dust bunnies, which is an area where many cheaper robot vacuums fall short. The Q5+'s navigation is excellent, with few misses along walls and in corners.

The Q5+, like other Roborock products can be controlled with a few buttons on the device, or via the Roborock App. The app lets you start and stop cleanings, set schedules, create virtual barriers and no-go zones, and adjust your home map, or change the labels of rooms.

If you choose to purchase the Q5+, it comes with a new auto-empty dock specifically designed to make this robot easy to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once installed, the process of emptying the bin is relatively easy. It also features an impressive LCD display which is great to have when setting up schedules or altering settings. This isn't an essential feature for most people but it can help you keep the track of your robot's maintenance intervals with ease.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a sophisticated well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of both mopping and vacuuming. Its design is among the most innovative in the market however, it's costly.

It's a tiny base station that looks beautiful and can be hidden when not in use. The main reason to buy the station is the fact that it automates a variety of tasks, chores and functions that other robots would leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water and electrolyze and heat the water. Most other robovacs will require this.

And its vacuuming is impressive, too. It's the few robot vacuums I've tested that does a really good job of picking up debris on unfinished floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot 900 series.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its shortcomings, particularly in terms of navigation. Its laser sensors and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable as other robotvacs. This means it is prone to getting stuck or confused in certain areas or rooms in the home. It's not able to navigate stairs as well as some competitors, and doesn't come with an dock that allows you to set up an area for cleaning that is specifically designed for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a great option for those looking for a robot broom vacuum that does everything.

But if you want to save some cash or simply don't care about the limitations of this robotic, there are plenty of other options available, robot vacuum deals including a lot of eufy models for significantly less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance, is cheaper and offers the same experience in the app, but with more features, including the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and superior overall vacuuming performance on bare floors and low and high-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

eufy is an Anker company that has an established track record of making robot vacuums with the right combination of performance, features, and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning of hard floors as well as carpets and mopping function too at a price that is affordable. It's simple to set up, simply snap on one of the side brush and turn it on, then connect the charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps needed to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi. The dock should be located 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 placed under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. Its design isn't as ostentatious compared to some rival models. It is sleek with a black finish and three physical buttons for Auto Cleaning start/pause (which scrubs an area in a spiral fashion over two minutes), Recharge and Spot Cleaner. You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to perform cleaning that is not scheduled using voice commands.

The way that the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from its rivals. It makes use of an integrated map to create an image of the immovable items that are in its path. It remembers what it has already cleaned and what it is unable to access. When it needs to recharge, it will automatically return to its base, and then resumes cleaning from where it started.

The eufy G30 isn't without faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better built, incurs lower recurring costs, is charged faster and offers similar battery life while offering superior performance on floors that are unfinished and carpets with low pile. It also comes with a larger dust bin that doesn't require to be empty as often and comes with a set of boundaries to keep it away from certain areas. The G30 is, however is less expensive and is much simpler to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't require as frequent emptying and is less prone to suffocating bulky materials like cereal.
