iRobot Roomba j7+
The iRobot Roomba j7+ is one of the best robot vacuums on the market and is priced reasonably for such an advanced device. It has a smart application that makes it simple to visualize your home, set up cleaning schedules and block off areas, and more. It also integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to make use of your voice to control the machine. This is a great feature if you have pets and the app can even be used to create a training run that will help it keep pet messes out of the way.
The robot's unique mapping technology sets it apart from other robots. The j7+ has the ability to create a precise map of your entire home, including all the rooms and their contents. It can also store multiple maps, making it possible to clean different areas at different times when necessary. This allows the j7+ to clean more thoroughly than other robots and is particularly effective at picking up pet hair.
iRobot also claims that the j7+ can be used to keep pet waste out of the way and it has certainly performed very well in our tests. It does this by using sensors that allow it to recognize the shape and size of different types of pet waste. It utilizes this information to determine if the J7+ should avoid that area. This gives it a huge advantage over other robots.
Another unique feature of the J7+ is its capacity to self-empty. When the j7+ determines that its dirt bin is full, it will automatically return to its base and eject its contents into its Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system. This is a lot less mess than having to empty the dust bin of a competing robot and means that you only need to deal with this once every few months.
Another nice thing about the j7+ is that it's extremely easy to maintain. The side brush is removable and can be cleaned and dirt bags can be reused and need to be replaced only every three months.

The Q5+ makes use of LIDAR, and other sensors to map the room as it cleans it for the first time. This helps it avoid obstacles. It's also very soft around furniture legs and other sharp edges, as opposed to many other vacuums that ram everything in their way like they're in the path of a coming train. It also does an excellent job of lifting carpets with low pile, but it could have issues with the power cords being too thick and other objects that could get stuck in the rollers.
It is controlled via the app, which makes it easy to schedule cleaning sessions and adjust settings. You can also track your robot's battery status and location, as well as create a virtual barrier to stop it from leaving your home. This model doesn't have a drop-sensor like other Roborocks. If it drops something, it'll trigger an error message and shut down the machine until you manually reset it. It's recommended that you periodically wipe the drop sensor using a clean cloth or cotton bud to prevent this from happening.
The Roborock Q5+ has moderately high cost of recurring expenses. The brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours of use. self cleaning vacuum is also replaceable and is available on the website of the manufacturer in a two-pack.
