- Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with many features. It has a long running time and is able to clean both bare floors and carpeted rooms. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in the more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller that can get into the corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor will stop the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms at regular intervals.
While the Shark ION is very effective on bare floors but it is unable to remove pet hair and fine debris on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.
The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is among its greatest features. There's a circular cleaning button located on the top of the device that you can press to begin the cleaning process, or you can use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. The app will tell you how much battery is left and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session has been completed or not.
Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this robot is compatible with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using a simple voice command, and you can make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only thing we didn't love about this model was that it took a longer to charge when in comparison to other models we've reviewed. Also the two hand vac attachments included aren't able to fit in the base and are easily lost.
- Samsung Jet Bot AI+
This Samsung model is not only the top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It has a camera that which you can access through your phone, and is designed to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can create a schedule to have it patrol your home even when you are gone. This is perfect if your pets shed or you need to watch for any criminals.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ comes with a number of features such as object recognition, home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust and five layers of filtration. It's an excellent choice for those looking for a premium model that is able to clean hard floors, but aren't afraid of some dust on carpets.
One of the best attributes of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and identify items. It either navigates around the object or mark it as an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature isn't found on many other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe choice for your home.
This model isn't particularly adept at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice grains on low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The robot was unable move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing test given that other models have done better in this test.
It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality and performance at a lower cost. For example, you can find a top-rated robotic vacuum with similar features for half the cost with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled by the SmartThings app. The setup process is simple with prompts in the app to guide you through it. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, adjust suction, set no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin needs to be emptied.

It's available for less than half the cost and has four cleaning modes. The dust container for the vacuum is easy to empty, and the mopping tank holds up 200 milliliters (7 ounces).
We tested this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and discovered that it was able to perform well on hard floors and carpets with low pile. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which utilizes a grid-like design to make sure that you clean every corner of your home, can also detect stairs. It comes with a remote that makes it easy to alter settings.
It can also be controlled by voice. You can initiate and stop a cleaning process through an app for your phone or tablet. The app allows you to set a cleaning routine and choose a cleaning mode. The battery can last for up to 100 minutes and the robot then returns to its base to charge after each cleaning session, or if the power is low.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops work with smartphone applications. These applications allow you to save maps of your house, create customized cleaning programs, and manage the machine. Some models have smart mopping pads that dry between use. This helps prevent the growth of mildew or bacteria on the floor.
The vacuum-mop combo's slim design enables it to fit in corners and under furniture, while its full range of sensors effortlessly eliminates obstacles and stairs.
