This is your time to own a robot vacuum. CNET's top-rated models are available for sale this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with savings of up to 57%.

The Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot with smart mapping and app-based no go zones. Its running time of 180 minutes is impressive. It also self-empties and refills its water tank.

1. iRobot Roomba j7+

The Roomba J7+ is iRobot's smartest robot vacuum to date. Its most significant 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 the first buy robot vacuum cleaner to send you a picture of an object that it encounters, meaning you can tell that it is safe to avoid it.

The Combo J7+ is the most efficient mop robot we've ever tested, removing dirt and spills with ease without leaving any trace that was there. It's simple to control via the iRobot Home app that allows you to schedule cleaning times and create Keep Out Zones to make sure it doesn't vacuum areas you do not want it to. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can start and stop it with a voice.

Its design is an improvement over the rest, with a sleek top piece that looks more like a toy rather than a loud, loud one. Clean Base's Automatic Dirt Disposal System also self cleaning vacuum cleaner-empties, which will cut down your cleaning time.

In our tests the j7+ performed quick to pick up and remove dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brush roll kept the debris in one location instead of scattering it around the floor. It was able to collect sand, small gravel and even a tiny bit of grit. Most robots could not do this. And it did all this without getting caught in our pet's shedding hair.

The j7+, although not as sophisticated as the Roomba S9 for $1,217and self vacuum near me-Emptying Vacuum Robot from iRobot, and it can't clean the stairs, it's an excellent choice for those who need both mopping and a vacuum. It's not too expensive, Vacuum Deals and the IRobot app makes it user-friendly to use.

The iRobot Home App is easy to use, but we found it less reliable than other robotic cleaner apps. It can take a while to download updates and it can be difficult to know if they are working until you see them in action.

2. Roborock Q5+

If you're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that can do more than just clean floors, the best option is probably one that is a hybrid. These robots come with a water tank so they can mop and vacuum at the same time. They also come with a variety of additional features, including smart mapping, small obstacles avoidance and even the ability to dry and wash mopping pads. The disadvantage is that they tend to be expensive at retail price, but on Black Friday and Cyber Monday they are often reduced in price.

Roborock is one of our top robot vacuums, and the Q5+ is no exception. It's the cheapest model in their auto-empty line. Although it doesn't include some of the premium features (like no-go zones or multi-story memories) but it's a great choice when you're willing to make some compromises to save a few bucks.

The Q5+ is exceptionally gentle when it comes down to obstacles like tables and walls. This makes it a great option for homes with a lot of furniture. It's also very thorough in removing dust bunnies. This is an area that many robot vacuums that are less expensive fall short. The Q5+'s navigation is superb, with only a few mishaps on walls and corners.

The Q5+, just like other Roborock products can be controlled with only a few buttons on your device or through the Roborock App. Through the app, you can start and stop cleaning or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones and adjust your home map or re-label rooms.

If you choose the Q5+ model, it comes with a new auto-emptying dock, designed to make the robot easier to maintain. It requires a screwdriver to install, but once it's installed, the process of emptying the bin is easy. It comes with a huge LCD screen that is very useful for setting up schedules or changing settings. This isn't an essential feature for everyone however it can help you keep the track of the intervals between maintenance for your robot effortlessly.

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 both mopping and vacuuming. Its design and functionality are among the top available however, it's also expensive.

It is a relatively small base station that looks stunning and can be hidden when not in use. The station's main selling point is that it can automate many tasks, functions, and chores that other robots would leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, electrolyzes and heats the water (which many other robots require you to do) and empty the dust bin after vacuuming, and ensures that your robot clean and charged.

Its vacuuming performance is also impressive. It's one of the only robovacs that I've tried that does very well at picking up debris on bare floors, and it's not nearly as loud as the more expensive Roomba 980 or iRobot the 900 series.

The Freo X Ultra is not without faults, particularly when it comes to navigation. Its LiDAR sensors and laser sensors aren't as reliable as other robot vacuums. This means it could get stuck or confused in certain corners or rooms in the home. It also can't climb stairs as well as other competitors and doesn't come with a dock to create a cleaning zone for plush carpets.

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

However, if you're looking to save money, or just don't care about the limitations of this machine, there are plenty of other great choices available, including a lot of eufy models that cost considerably less. The eufy Qrevo Curv, for instance, is cheaper and offers the same experience in the app, but with additional features such as the ability to climb stairs, a full-function dock, and superior overall performance when vacuuming floors as well as high and low-pile carpets.

4. Eufy RoboVac G30

eufy, an Anker company, has a track record of making robot vacuums that strike the perfect balance between features, performance and price. The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning of hard floors and carpets and mopping function too at an affordable price point. It's simple to set up simply by snapping one of the side brushes on, turn on and plug in the charging dock. The app takes you through a few steps to connect to your Wi-Fi, and the G30 is ready to go. It is recommended to keep the dock close to a power outlet and enough space for it to move around however.

The G30 is a compact device, measuring 2.85 inches in height, which means it will be placed under most couches and pieces of low-clearance furniture. The design is less ostentatious than some rival models, with sleek black finish and three physical buttons: Auto Cleaning start/pause, Recharge and Spot Cleaning (which cleans the area in an arc for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice commands to perform unscheduled cleaning.

The way in which the G30 cleans is what sets it apart from its rivals. It uses a built-in map to create an image of non-movable objects that are in its path, remembering what it's already cleaned and the areas it's not able to access. If it requires a recharge, it automatically returns to its starting point and begins cleaning from where it started.

The elegant G30 isn't without its faults, though. The iRobot Roomba 675 is much better constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges more quickly and has the same battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It also has a larger dust bin that doesn't require to be empty as often and comes with an array of boundaries to restrict it from certain areas. The G30 however is less expensive and is much easier to maintain. Its smaller dust canister doesn't need emptying as often and it has less trouble with bulky material like cereal.
