2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with a lot of features. It has a long running time and it does a good job cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It also comes with a useful app that is compatible with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum comes with an extremely powerful motor that has multi-surface brush rolls that penetrate into cracks and corners to make sure your home is truly clean. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor stops the robot from falling down stairs. It is also programmed to operate a single room or set of rooms in scheduled intervals. It is also capable of resuming cleaning sessions were stopped midway through.
While the Shark ION performs admirably on clean floors but it is unable to clean up pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It also gets caught 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 among its greatest features. There's a circular cleaning button at the top of the unit that you can press to start the cleaning process or make use of your smartphone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. Once you've done that the app will display the battery level and status of the vacuum, as well as whether it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this robotic works with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using the simple voice command and you can also make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only negative that we could find with this vacuum is that it takes longer to charge than some of the other models that we've looked at, and the two hand vac attachments don't fit inside the base, and they can get lost pretty easily.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum in the market, this Samsung model can also be used as a home monitoring camera. It has a lens that is accessible via your smartphone and is designed to watch the surroundings around your home. You can create a timer to watch your home while you are gone. This is great for pets that shed or if you wish to keep an eye out for anyone sneaking in.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a variety of features like object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dirt bin, and five layers of filtering. It's a great option for those who want an expensive model that can clean hard floors, but who don't mind the occasional dust that gets on carpets.
One of the most impressive features of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. robots that vacuum and mop makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and find objects. It can either navigate around the object or declares it a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots and makes the Samsung an extremely safe choice for your home.
On the other hand, this model doesn't do well with spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The robot was unable take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have performed better in this test.
It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. For example, you can purchase a top-rated robot vacuum that has similar features for a fraction of the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled via the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with prompts in the app to guide you through the process.
