2. Shark ION
The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with plenty of features at a reasonable price. It has a long running time and does a fantastic job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It is a great app and works well when combined with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller which can reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to
Pure clean robot vacuum the room or set of rooms at regular intervals.
While the Shark ION performs admirably on bare floors, it does struggle to remove pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles and it has a runtime of up to 90 minutes.
One of the best things about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. You can either use the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to start a cleaning, or launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. Once you've done that, the app will display the current battery level and the status of the vacuum, as well as if it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.
Another thing that many people have liked about this vacuum 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 utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only thing we didn't like about this vacuum was that it took a bit longer to charge compared to other models we've reviewed. Also, the two hand vac attachments included aren't able to fit in the base and can easily be lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum This Samsung model can also be used as a camera for home monitoring. It has a camera that accessible via your smartphone and is built to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can set up a timer to watch your home even when you're away. This is especially useful for pet owners who shed or if you wish to watch out for anyone who is sneaking in.
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 a great option for those who want a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.
One of the best characteristics of this robot is its advanced obstacle avoidance. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the environment and find objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making the Samsung the
best mapping robot vacuum choice for your house.
On the contrary this model isn't able to do very well at spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice grains on carpet with a low pile and then sending the robot in to clean. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have done better in this test.
It's important to note, too that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance for a lower cost. For example, you can find a top-rated robotic vacuum with the same features for
pure Clean Robot vacuum half the price of the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled by the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy thanks to the in-app prompts. The app allows you to see the map, design cleaning schedules, modify suction, choose no-go zones and also manage other settings. It also shows you the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin should be empty.

It's currently available for half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The dust bin for the vacuum is easy to empty and the mopping water tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (or 7 ounces).
We tried this
robot vacuum for pets in our Cleaning Lab last year, and discovered that it was able to perform well on hard floors and carpet with a low pile. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern that ensures that every area of your home is cleaned, and it has the capability of detecting stairs. It includes an integrated remote that makes it easy to change settings.
