Black Friday Robot Vacuum Deals

BOSTON -- Whether are shopping for one for yourself or a loved one, there are many Black Friday robot vacuums to choose from. The brands are offering discounts on a range of items that include self-emptying vacuums as well as ones that mop.

The most notable are the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ at Walmart with a self-emptying dock and an Amazon bestseller that can detect pet poop and avoid steps and ledges, and also plan cleaning schedules with your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo j5+, the most recent 2-in-1 model of iRobot's top-of-the-line range, comes with both mopping and vacuuming functionality. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it to become more intelligent over time and creates the Smart Map of your flooring. This lets you name rooms and make cleaning schedules, as and designate no-mop zones to your carpets. It uses vSLAM navigation and can see objects and obstacles due to iRobot's brand new obstacle avoidance technology. It can also recognize all types of carpets, from low-pile to thick, and adjust its cleaning mode to suit.

The model, just like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed for both vacuuming and mopping. It has a separate dirt bin and an additional mop/vacuuming bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or water. The robot automatically switches between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bins.

Using iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors clean. This mode uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to empty the dirt bin of the robot which gives you a unrestricted hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also comes with a dedicated power button that allows you to immediately switch between mopping and vacuuming.

The iRobot Home App makes it easy to use and set up your robot. With a few taps, you can design a custom cleaning schedule for your entire home or a single room. You can also view your robot's status and monitor it remotely.

You can also make use of your smartphone as an remote control to begin a cleaning session, or you can use your voice to command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, making it more easy to connect with your existing smart home devices. It comes with pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner's official guarantee), which helps it keep away from pet messes. This is an excellent option for pet owners who would like the convenience of robotic vacuums and mops.

2. 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 does a great job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It's a great app that works well combined with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors.

This robot vacuum features powerful motors and a multi-surface brush roll that can get into corners and cracks to ensure that your home is clean. It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions and an lower cliff sensor that will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It can also be programmed to operate a single room or a group of rooms at scheduled intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning that it stopped halfway through.

The Shark ION is very good in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it is unable to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions and has a runtime of 90 minutes.

The user interface that this robot has is one of its best features. You can either press the round button on the top of the unit to start a cleaning, or launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. After you've completed that, the app will tell you the battery level and status of the vacuum, and also if it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that a lot of users liked about this model is its ability to work with Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum on and off using an easy voice command, and you can also make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only downside we have found with this model is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models we've examined, and that the two hand vac attachments don't fit in the base and could be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not only an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner It also functions as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It comes with a lens that you can access via your smartphone, and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can even create a schedule of when you want it to be patrolling the house while you are away. This is great if you have pets shed or you want to be watching for any criminals.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a premium model that comes with a variety of features including object recognition, home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin and five layers of filtering. It's a great option for those who want a premium model that is able to clean hard floors, but don't mind a little dust on carpets.

This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is one of its best features. It makes use of a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and locate objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, making Samsung an ideal choice for your house.

This model isn't very adept in spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered on it. The machine was unable to take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test given that other models have done better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality and performance at a lower cost. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that has the same features at half the cost.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this quietest robot vacuum is controlled by the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy with the help of in-app prompts. The app lets you view the map, set the cleaning schedules and suction power settings and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin must be emptied.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

If you're not ready commit to a robot vacuum that is dedicated to you and a mop separately, this all-in-one model could be just what you're looking for. 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 is able to hold 200 milliliters (7 ounces).

Last year, we tested this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely efficient on both low-pile and hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern that ensures that every space in your home is cleaned, and it also has the capability of detecting stairs. It includes an adjustable remote that makes it easy to adjust settings.

It also works with voice commands. You can start and stop a cleaning process by using an app for your tablet or phone. The app lets you set an agenda for cleaning and select the cleaning mode. The battery can last for up to 100 minutes, and the robot automatically returns to its base for charging after each cleaning session, or if the power is not sufficient.

This robot vac mop is a great choice for busy families. It's on sale for less than half the original price. It has a 4.5-star score from customers and has an intelligent cleaning system that uses three steps of cleaning to ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It is able to detect pet hair and dander which makes it an ideal choice for households with pets.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops can be used with smartphones applications. These apps let you save your home's maps as well as create customized cleaning programs, and even control your machine. Some models have smart mopping pads that can dry between use. This prevents the growth of mildew or bacteria on the floor.

The compact design of the vacuum-mop combination allows it to be placed in corners and under furniture. Its complete suite of sensors can gracefully dodge obstacles and steps. It has smart app integration, and the mopping pad is equipped with triple HEPA filtering technology to keep dust particles from contaminating the indoor air.
