Black Friday Robot Vacuum Deals
Boston -- Whether you are buying one for your loved ones or yourself t here are plenty of Black Friday robot vacuums to pick from. From self-emptying models that are smart to ones that mop, many brands are offering discounts.
A few highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock at Walmart and an Amazon best-seller that can detect pet poop, steer clear of the ledges and stairs, and even schedule cleanings from your smartphone.
1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
The Roomba Combo J5+, the newest 2-in-1 model of iRobot's top-of-the-line range, has mopping and vacuuming functionality. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it get smarter over time and creates a Smart Map of your flooring. It allows you to label your rooms, make cleaning schedules and define no-mop areas for your carpets. It is able to detect obstacles and objects thanks to the latest obstacle avoidance technology from iRobot. It can also detect carpets of any kind, from low-pile up to thick, and alter the cleaning mode in line with the carpet.
Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model comes with Power-Lifting Suction and is made for mopping and vacuuming. It has an additional bin for dirt and a mop and vacuuming bin that you fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bin.
The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode to provide powerful dust suction, leaving your floors sparkling clean. This mode also uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal feature to clear the robot's dirt bin, providing you with the freedom to move your hands. The Combo j5+ also has a dedicated power button that lets you instantly 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 track your robot remotely and check its progress.
You can make use of your smartphone to begin cleaning or make it a command using your voice. 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 keep away from pet messes. This is a great option for those who have pets but prefers the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model with a lot of features. It has a long running time and does a fantastic job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It also comes with a useful app that works well with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map and other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.
This robot vacuum is outfitted with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller that can reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms on a regular basis.
While the Shark ION performs admirably on clean floors, it does struggle to pick up pet hair and fine debris 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 great things about this robot is its easy-to-use interface. You can either use the circular cleaning button located at the top of the unit to start cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. The app will then tell you how much battery is remaining and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you if the cleaning process has been completed or not.
Another feature that many customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using the simple voice command and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only negative that we have found with this model is that it takes a little longer to charge than the other models that we've looked at, and the two hand vac attachments can't fit into 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 comes with a lens that you can access via your phone and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can set up a schedule to have it monitor your home when you are gone. This is great if you have pets shed or you wish to be watching for any intrusions.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a variety of features including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-emptying dust bin and five layers of filtration. It's an excellent choice for those who want a premium model that is able to clean hard floors, but aren't afraid of the occasional dust that gets on carpets.
One of the most impressive attributes of this robot is its advanced obstacle avoidance. It makes use of a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. Then, it either navigates around them or labels them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung an ideal choice for your home.
On the contrary this model isn't able to do well with spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered across it. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing outcome, given that other models did better in the test.
It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be quite expensive in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that provides the same features at a fraction of the cost.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with in-app prompts to guide you through it. The app allows you to look at the map, make cleaning schedules, alter suction, select no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin must be empty.
4. Manvins Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo
If you're not ready to invest in a dedicated robot vacuum and separate mop, this one-stop model might be what you're looking for. It's available now for nearly half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty, and the mopping tank is able to hold 200 milliliters (7 8 ounces).
Last year, we tested this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be very efficient on low-pile as well as hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every space in your home is cleaned, and it has the ability to detect stairs. It also comes with an remote control that makes it easy to adjust the settings.
Another advantage is that it operates with voice commands, so you can initiate and end the cleaning process through an app on your phone or tablet. The app lets you set a cleaning routine and select a cleaning mode. The robot will return to its charging base automatically following every cleaning session, or when power is not available.
This robotic vac mop is a great option for busy families. It's on sale for more than half off its original price. It has a 4-star out of 5 star rating from customers and its smart cleaning system employs a three-step cleaning process that ensures your home is clean and fresh. It even detects pet hair and dander so it's an excellent option for households with pets.
Most modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with mobile apps which allow you to save your home's maps and schedule your own cleaning schedule and manage the functions of your machine. Some models have smart mopping pads that can dry between use. This helps prevent the growth of mildew or bacteria on the floor.
The compact design of the vacuum-mop combination allows it to be tucked into corners and under furniture, while its full collection of sensors seamlessly eliminates obstacles and stairs. The mopping pad is fitted with triple HEPA filtering technology and an application that integrates it. This will prevent fine dust particles from entering the air in your home.
