Robot Vacuum Cleaner Black Friday Deals
When it comes to saving time on housework, a robot vacuum cleaner is an absolute game-changer. These machines are small and can sift dust, crumbs, and pet hair, while focusing on areas that are more messy first.
If you're on a budget, choose a basic model that costs under $300, while mid-range options come with navigation and self-emptying functionality. High-end models can also include features such as smart mapping and obstacles avoidance.
iRobot Roomba j7+
The iRobot Roomba j7+ is one of the top robot vacuums and is priced affordably for an advanced device. It comes with a clever app which makes it easy to map your home, create cleaning schedules, block off areas, and much more. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to use your voice to control the machine. This is a fantastic feature for those who have pets and the app can even be used to create a training run that will help it avoid pet messes.
The robot's patent-pending mapping technology differentiates it from the rest of its competitors. The j7+ has the ability to create a detailed map of your entire home which includes all the rooms and their contents. It also has the ability to store multiple maps, allowing you to clean different areas at different times if needed. This allows the j7+ to clean more thoroughly than other robots and is particularly effective in picking up pet hair.
iRobot also claims that the j7+ is able to keep pet waste out of the way, which it certainly did well in our tests. It does this using a set of sensors that help it identify the dimensions and shapes of various types of pet waste. It then uses this information to determine whether the j7+ is to stay clear of that area. This gives it a huge advantage over other robots.
The j7+ comes with an exclusive feature that allows it to empty itself. When the j7+ determines that its dirt bin is overflowing it will return back to its base and eject its contents into its Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system. This is much easier than having to empty the bin of dust on a competing robot. It's only necessary to perform this once per months.
The j7+ has another great feature: it is extremely easy to maintain. The side brush can be removed and cleaned, while the dirt bag can be reused and only requires to be replaced every three months or so.
Roborock Q5+
The Roborock Q5+ robot vacuum is a great option for those looking for a reliable robot that won't break the budget. Its advanced features allow it to maneuver through homes with ease, while providing powerful suction that is 2000 psi and can clean up everyday dust, pet hair and dirt. It also has self-emptying docks that automatically empties the dust bag when it's full. This is the best deal on a robot cleaner that is available at the moment.
The Q5+ uses LIDAR as well as other sensors, to map the room as it cleans it for the first time. This helps it avoid obstacles. It's also noticeably gentle around furniture legs and other sharp edges, unlike many other vacuums that ram everything that gets in their way as if they're in the path of a approaching train. automated vacuum cleaner is great at clearing carpets with low pile, but may have problems with thick power cords or other objects that could get stuck in the rollers.
The app lets you schedule cleaning sessions, adjust settings and manage the robot. You can also monitor the status of your battery robot and its location. You can even set up a virtual fence to prevent it from leaving. It's important to note that this model doesn't come with a drop sensor, like other Roborock models. If it falls on something, it will send an error message and shut down the machine until you manually reset it. To prevent this, it is recommended to clean the drop sensor regularly using cotton or a microfiber pad.
The RoborockQ5+ has moderately expensive recurring costs. The brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours of use. Its side brush is also replaceable and is available on the manufacturer's website in a two-pack. The Q5+ features an enormous 470-milliliter dust bin that can hold large amounts of debris without needing to return to its dock for recharging. It doesn't have a bin sensor which means you'll have to manually change out the bag once it's full.

The L40 Ultra has an advanced sensor system that ensures the most efficient navigation and the elimination of obstacles. Its RGB camera and five-channel color sensors enable the device to detect and move around objects with ease, while also providing a clear view of the area. In our tests, we haven't had to intervene manually to move the device out of a tight location or help it find its return to a clean area. The device is very efficient with its large dustbin that lets it clean and mop larger areas without the need to empty it often.
Like other top-of-the-line robotic cleaners like the Dreame L40 Ultra has a side brush that lifts and unfolds to reach the tough-to-reach corners. It can also switch automatically between sweeping and mopping, making sure there's no overlap when switching between hard floors and carpets.

It's capable of handling most floorings and comes with 2000Pa of maximum suction, multiple cleaning modes as well as Boost IQ for optimizing power, a 100-minute run time and integration with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
It's another glossy black-and-blue affair that's a finger print magnet similar to a smartphone. However, that shouldn't stop it from being a perfect fit for many homes. It's among our tiniest robot vacuums with a size of 12.8 inches in width and 2.85 inches high. This allows it to clean under low furniture more effectively than other models.
Inside, you'll find the charging base, AC power adapter, two side brushes, an additional unibody filter, a cleaning tool, five cable ties, and an informative guide. Eufy suggests that you tidy your home by removing all items that could trip up the G30 and its attachments. Also fold any tasseled edges of rugs to keep them from getting stuck.
One of the things that sets the RoboVac G30 apart from most other robots is its rotary brush that removes debris and dirt from difficult-to-access areas in corners and along walls. The smart sensors can detect cluttered areas, stairs, and other obstacles and adjust the cleaning path in order to cover all the floor.
The G30 mopping machine has an exclusive tank that can hold up to 4.4fl. 8 oz. of water. It is connected to the bottom of this machine. It's easy to fill and empty and the mopping kit comes with a set of microfiber cloths which can be used for wet and dry spills.
The app is easy to use and provides various options for changing the robot's behaviour. The G30 robot can be programmed to go back to its base to recharge or stop cleaning at a specific time. It lacks advanced mapping and features found on more costly robots, such as the capability to create virtual "no-go zones." However, that's a small cost to be paid for a model that runs quietly and maneuvers well and requires less maintenance.
