In our tests the j7+ performed quick to clean up dust, dirt and pet hair. The counter-rotating rubber brushes kept the debris in one spot rather than sending it scattering around the floor. It even managed to take small gravel and sand, which most other robots couldn't do. It did this without getting caught in our pet's hair.

While the iRobot Home app is very user-friendly however we've found it be less reliable than other applications that utilize robotic cleaners. It can take a long time to download updates, and often it's difficult to tell if the update is actually working until you see it in the action.

This is their least expensive auto-empty model, and while it doesn't have certain features found on higher-end models (like no-go zones and multi-story memory) it's still an excellent choice if you're willing to sacrifice a little to save hundreds of dollars.

The Q5+ is noticeably gentle around obstacles such as wall legs and table legs, which makes it a great choice for homes with lots of furniture. It's also very thorough in getting rid of dust bunnies which is a problem where cheaper robot vacuums fail. The navigation technology in the Q5+ is fantastic and has very few missed corners and along walls.

The Q5+, like other Roborock products, can be controlled by a few buttons on the device or via the Roborock App. With the app you can begin and stop cleanings or schedules, establish virtual barriers and no-go zones and modify your home map or change the labels of rooms.

The primary selling point of the station is that it automates many tasks, chores and functions that other robots leave to you. It can store clean and dirty water, and then electrolyze and heat the water. Many other robots require this.

Its vacuuming is also impressive. It's the only robovac I've used that has done well at picking up debris from bare floors. It's also not as loud as the expensive Roomba 900 series or iRobot 980.

The Freo X Ultra is not without flaws, especially when it comes navigation. The laser and LiDAR sensors aren't as reliable and reliable as other robovacs. This means it sometimes gets stuck or confused in certain rooms or corners of your home. It's not able to navigate stairs as well as some competitors, either and it doesn't have a dock that lets you to set up a dedicated cleaning zone for plush carpets.

While it doesn't offer as much in the way of cleaning options available in its app, or as many shortcuts within the app as some other robovacs, the Freo X Ultra is still a top choice for those looking for a comprehensive robot vacuum and mop that's worth the higher price cost.

But if you want to save money or don't want to think about the limitations of this machine, there are plenty of alternatives on the market which include a variety of eufy models that cost considerably less.

The G30 Hybrid is no different it offers a high-quality cleaning on hard floors and carpets and mopping function too at an affordable price point. It's easy to set up, simply connect one of the side brushes and then turn it on. Then connect your charging dock.

The G30 is tiny, 2.85 inches tall to be precise, which means it can be tucked away under couches and other low-clearance furniture. The design is less flashy than some of the rival models, sporting sleek black finish and three buttons that are physical that control Auto Cleaning, which can be paused or started. Recharge, and Spot Cleaning (which scrubs an area in a spiral pattern for two minutes). It is also possible to connect the G30 to Amazon Alexa or Google Home to do unscheduled cleaning with voice commands.

The most important characteristic that sets the G30 above the rest is the way it cleans. It makes use of 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. When it's time to recharge, it will automatically return to its base, and then resumes cleaning where it began.

The sleek G30 has a few issues. The iRobot Roomba 675 is more constructed, has lower recurring costs, charges faster and has a similar battery life, while providing better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It has a bigger dust bin, which does not require as much emptying. It also comes with border strips that block it from certain areas. The G30 is cheaper and easier to maintain. Its smaller dust container doesn't need emptying as often and is less prone to suffocating bulky material such as cereal.
