Robot Vacuum Cleaner Black Friday Deals
When it comes to reducing time in chores around the house, a robot vacuum cleaner is a game changer. These small machines suck up dust, crumbs and pet hair, focusing on messier rooms first.
Those on a budget can choose an entry-level model that costs under $300, while midrange models include navigation and self-emptying functionality. The top models can also come with features such as smart mapping and obstacle detection.
iRobot Roomba j7+
The iRobot Roomba j7+ is one of the best robot vacuums on the market and is priced affordably for a powerful device. It has a smart application that makes it simple to plan your home, establish cleaning schedules and block off areas, and more. It is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can control it using your voice. This is a great feature if you own pets. The application can be used to create training runs that help the machine keep away from pet poop.
The robot's patented mapping technology differentiates it from the rest of its competitors. The j7+ can create an accurate home map, including all rooms and their contents. It also stores different maps, allowing it to clean different areas at a different times if required. This lets the j7+ clean much more thoroughly than other robots, and it's particularly effective at picking up pet hair.
iRobot also claims that the j7+ can be used to avoid pet waste which it did very well in our tests. It achieves this by using sensors that allow it to recognize the shape and size of various kinds of pet waste. It uses this information to determine if J7+ is able to stay clear of that area. This is a major advantage over other robots.
Another unique characteristic of the J7+ is the ability to self-empty. When the j7+ senses that its dirt bin is full, it will return to its base, and then empty the 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. You'll only need to do this once a few months.
The j7+ comes with a excellent feature: it is extremely simple to maintain. The side brush can be removed and cleaned, while the dirt bag can be reused and needs to be replaced every three months or so.
Roborock Q5+
The Roborock Q5+ robot vacuum is a great choice for those who are looking for a reliable robot that won't break the budget. Its advanced features allow it to navigate homes with ease and provide strong suction at 2000 psi that can remove everyday dust, dirt and pet hair. It also comes with a self-emptying dock that automatically emptys the dust bag once it's full. This is among the most affordable prices on a robot vacuum available at the moment.
The Q5+ uses LIDAR and other sensors to map the space when it cleans it for the first time. This allows it to avoid obstacles. It's also surprisingly gentle around furniture legs and other sharp edges, in contrast to many other vacuums that ram everything that gets in their way as if they're in the path of an oncoming train. It also does an excellent job of lifting low-pile rugs, although it may have trouble with power cords that are thick and other objects that could get stuck in the rollers.
The app allows you to schedule cleaning sessions, change settings and control the robot. You can also check the battery status of your robot and its location. You can also install a virtual fence to keep it from leaving. This model doesn't have the drop-sensor that other Roborocks do. This means that if it falls on something, it will send an error code, which will disable the machine until you manually reset it. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to wipe the drop sensor down periodically with a cotton or microfiber pad.
The Roborock Q5+ has moderately high regular costs. The brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours of use. The side brush can be replaced too and is available in two-packs on the site of the manufacturer. The Q5+ features large 470-mL trash bin that can hold a significant amount of debris without needing to return to its dock to recharge. The Q5+ doesn't have a bin-sensor, which means you'll need to manually change the bag every time it gets it gets full.

In our tests, we never needed to intervene manually to help the device out of a tight area or navigate to a clean place. The device is very efficient with its large dustbin that lets it clean and mop larger areas without the need to empty it frequently.
The Dreame L40 Ultra, like many other robotic cleaners of the highest quality, has a sidebrush that is folded and raised to reach corners that are difficult to reach. It also has the ability to automatically switch between sweeping and mopping, to ensure there isn't any cross-over when switching between hard floors and carpets. It also comes with a mop pad storage station that will automatically clean and dry the pad, reducing the growth of mildew and bacterial.
One of the most impressive aspects of this machine is its powerful 11,000 Pa suction capacity. It is able to quickly take off dust and dirt that is hard to remove, and it even works on carpets and other surfaces with high-pile rug. The mop is equipped with the TriCut brush that assists in removing knots and tackles tough stains. The Dreame app lets you alter the cleaning settings and includes a a convenient scheduling feature.
The Dreame L40 is a premium-grade robot vacuum and mop that's well worth the price. Its smart features, customizable cleaning, and simple dock maintenance make it a great choice for most households. However, the smart dirt detection system and dock maintenance could be improved. With robotic vacuum cleaner -to-use application and high-performance the Dreame L40 is a great purchase for Black Friday.
Eufy RoboVac - G30

It's capable of handling the majority of floorings and comes with 2000Pa of maximum suction and different cleaning modes, Boost IQ to optimize 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 magnet for finger prints, similar to smartphones. But that shouldn't deter it from being a good option for a wide range of homes. With 12.8 inches across and 2.85 inches tall, it's one of the slimmest robot vacuums that we've ever tested and can clean under furniture more easily than other models.
In the box, you'll find an AC power adapter along with two side brushes, an additional unibody filter, a cleaner and five cable ties and an informative guide. Eufy recommends that you prepare your home by removing all objects that could cause a trip for the G30 and its attachments. Also fold any tasseled edges of rugs to avoid them becoming caught in.
One of the features that sets the RoboVac G30 apart from most other robots is its rotary brush which removes debris and dirt from difficult-to-reach areas in corners and along walls. The smart sensors can also detect cluttered areas and stairs and automatically adjust the cleaning path to ensure that every inch of the floor is covered.
The G30 mopping machine has a tank that holds up to 4.4fl. 8 oz. of water. It is connected to the bottom of the machine. It's simple to refill and empty and the mopping kit includes a set microfiber cloths which can be used for wet or dry spills.
The app is extremely simple to use and offers numerous options to alter the robot's behavior. The G30 robot can be programmed to go back to its base in order to recharge or stop cleaning at a specific time. It does lack advanced mapping and other features that are found on higher-end robots, like the ability to create virtual no-go zones, however, it's a small price to pay for a cheaper model that runs quietly, maneuvers well, and requires less maintenance than its rivals.
