2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with plenty of features at a reasonable price. It has a long-running time and does an excellent job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It also comes with a helpful app and works well with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls found in higher-priced competitors.

This robot vacuum features an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is spotless. It has bumper sensors that assist in avoiding collisions and 360 Robot Vacuum the lower cliff detector that helps prevent the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms at regular intervals.

While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean but it is unable to pick up pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It can also get stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and has a runtime of 90 minutes.

The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is among its most appealing features. There's a round cleaning button located on the top of the unit that you can push to begin cleaning, or you can utilize your phone to open the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. Once you've done that the app will tell you the current battery level and the status of the vacuum, as well as whether it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that a lot of users liked about this model is its ability to work with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum off and on with an easy voice command, and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only issue we found with this 360 Robot Vacuum is that it takes longer to charge than some of the other models we've looked at, and the two included hand vac attachments can't fit inside the base and could be lost quite easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model isn't just an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera to monitor your home.

It's an excellent choice for those looking for an excellent model that is able to clean hard floors, but who don't mind a little dust on carpets.

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is one of its best features. It utilizes a combination sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and locate objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't present on other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure option for your home.

This model is not very adept in spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice grains on low-pile carpet and sending the robot to clean. The robot did a poor job of pushing the rice grains around and did not remove any of them. This is a disappointing result given that other models have performed better in this test.

It's important to note, too that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality and performance at a lower cost. For example, you can get a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features for half the price of the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

The SmartThings application is used to control the robot, like other Samsung smart products. The process of setting up is simple with in-app prompts to guide you through the process.

It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin needs to be emptied.
