iRobot Roomba j7+
The iRobot Roomba j7+ robot vacuum is one of the most feature-rich devices available. It's priced reasonably for such a powerful device. It comes with a sophisticated app that makes it easy to plan your home, set cleaning schedules, block zones and much more. It can be used with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can control it using your voice. This feature is great when you have pets. The application can be used to create training sessions that will help the machine stay clear of pet messes.
The robot's smart mapping technology is what really sets it apart from the rest of the competitors. The j7+ can produce an accurate home map, which includes every room and its contents. It can also store different maps so that it can clean different areas at a specific time if needed. This helps the j7+ vacuum more efficiently than other robots, and is particularly effective at picking up pet hair.
iRobot claims that the j7+ can eliminate pet waste. It certainly did well in our tests. It does this through sensors that help it recognize the shape and size of different kinds of pet waste. Then, it uses that information to help it determine whether or not the j7+ should attempt to avoid the area which is a major advantage over other robots.
The j7+ has a unique feature that allows it to empty itself. When the j7+ determines that its dirt bin is full it will return back to its base and eject its contents into the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system. This is much more convenient than having to empty the bin of dust on a robot that is competing. It's only necessary to perform this once per months.
Another great thing about the j7+ is that it's extremely easy to maintain. The side brush is movable and is able to be cleaned, while dirt bags can be reused and need to be replaced every three months.
Roborock Q5+
The Roborock Q5+ is a great choice for people who want a reliable robot vacuum that won't break the bank.

It also comes with an automatic emptying dock that emptys the dust bag once it's full. This is the most affordable deal on a robot cleaner available today.
The Q5+ uses LIDAR and other sensors to map rooms the very first cleaning, which helps it to avoid obstacles. It's also more gentle around furniture legs and sharp edges than other vacuums, which force everything in their path like an approaching train. It's great at clearing carpets with low pile, but may have problems with power cords that are thick or other items that could get stuck in the rollers.
It can be controlled through the app, which makes it easy to plan cleaning sessions and alter settings. You can also check the status of your robot's battery and location, as well as set up a virtual barrier to stop it from leaving your home. It's important to know, however, that this model doesn't come with drop sensors like other Roborock models. If it drops something, it will trigger an error code and disable the machine until you manually reset it. It is recommended to periodically wipe down the drop sensor using a clean microfiber cloth or cotton bud to stop this from happening.
The RoborockQ5+ has moderately expensive recurring costs. Its brushrolls need to be replaced after 300 hours of usage or every six to 12 months. The side brush can be replaced as well and is available in two packs on the site of the manufacturer. The Q5+ features an enormous 470-milliliter dust bin which means it can take on an enormous amount of debris, without having to return to its dock to recharge. The Q5+ does not have a bin-sensor, so you'll need to manually change the bag when full.
