1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+ is iRobot's most advanced robot vacuum to date. Its most significant breakthrough is its camera-based obstacle detection system that uses built-in AI to detect objects like charging cords, shoes and the dreaded pet waste that the majority of other robots cannot avoid (and often go through). It's the first robot to send you pictures of the objects that it encounters, meaning you can tell the robot to stay clear of it.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient robot mop we have ever tested. It picks up dirt and spills easily, leaving no trace that it was there. The iRobot application makes it simple to control. It can schedule cleanings and create Keep Out Zones to ensure it doesn't sweep in areas that you don't would like. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start it and stop it using voice.

The design is also more appealing than the other models. It features a sleek, top piece that appears like a toy rather than an obnoxious and loud robot. And the Clean Base automatic cleaning robot Dirt Disposal System is self-emptying, which is great to speed up cleaning.

In our tests, we discovered that the j7+ was quick to took away dirt, dust, and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot instead of scattering it around the floor washing robot. It even could catch small gravel and sand which other robots can't. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

While it's not quite as smart as the $1,217 iRobot Roomba s9+ Self-Emptying Vacuum, and it's not able to clean stairs, the j7+ is still a solid option for those who need a vac and a mop in their home. It's not too expensive, and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use but we found it less reliable as other robotic cleaner apps. It can take some time to download updates, and it can be difficult to tell whether they're functioning until you actually witness them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

When you're looking for a robot vacuum that does more than simply clean floors, the best robot vacuum for tile floors choice is probably hybrid. This type of robot typically has a built-in water tank which means they can vacuum and mop your home at the same time.

This is their least expensive auto-empty model, and while it's not equipped with some of the premium features that are found on more expensive models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still an excellent option if you're willing to sacrifice a bit to save a few hundred dollars.

The Q5+ is extremely gentle when it comes to obstacles such as walls and table legs. This makes it a great choice for homes that have a lot of furniture. It is also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is an area that most robot vacuums of lower quality aren't able to meet. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is fantastic as well, with only a few missing in corners and on walls.

The Q5+, like other Roborock products, can be controlled by only a few buttons on your device or through 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.

3. Narwal Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a clever well-rounded vacuum and mop. It's capable of mopping and vacuuming. Its design and functionality are some of the most advanced available - but it's also pricey.

It's a tiny base station that looks stunning and is able to be concealed when not in use. The main reason to buy the station is that it can automate many tasks, chores and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do), empties the dustbin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's the only robovac I've tested that does well at picking up dirt from floors that aren't. And it's not as loud as the costly Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

However, the Freo X Ultra has its faults, especially in terms 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 rooms or corners of your home. It's not able navigate stairs as well as competitors, and doesn't come with a dock that lets the user to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.

The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for those who want an automated vacuum that can do everything.

4. eufy RoboVac G30

Eufy, a Anker company is a long-standing leader of making robot vacuums that strike a good balance between performance, features and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different, offering a capable cleaning of hard floors as well as mopping, carpets and other surfaces at a price that is affordable. It's simple to set up, just attach one of the side brush, turn it on and plug in your charging dock. The app will guide you through the steps required to connect your G30 to your Wi-Fi.

You can also connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to conduct cleaning without a schedule using voice commands.

The way the G30 cleans is what differentiates it from other models. It uses an integrated map to make an image of the unmovable items in its path. It keeps track of the things it has cleaned and what it is unable to access. When it needs to recharge, it automatically returns to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it began.

The elegant G30 has its flaws however. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more built, incurs lower recurring costs, charges more quickly and has the same battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It has a bigger dust bin that doesn't require more emptying. It also has border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 on the other hand is more affordable and much more manageable to maintain. Its smaller dust container does not require emptying as often and it struggles less with bulky material like cereal.
