2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with many features. It offers a long-lasting run time and it does a great job of cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It is a great app and is well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls that are found in the more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller which can reach into corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It comes with bumper sensors that assist in avoiding collisions and an lower cliff detector to stop the robot from falling. It is also programmed to run a single room or a group of rooms at regular intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions it stopped halfway through.
The Shark ION is very good in cleaning floors with no dirt. However,
robots that vacuum and mop has a difficult time to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles, and it has a long runtime of up to 90 minutes.
One of the great things about this robot is its easy-to-use interface. There is a round cleaning button at the top of the unit, which you can press to start the cleaning process or utilize your phone to open the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. After you've completed that, the app will tell you the battery level and status of the vacuum as well as if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Many customers also liked the fact that this robotic works with Alexa. The vacuum can be switched off and on by a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times with the app. The only issue we found with this robot is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models we've examined, and that the two hand vac attachments can't fit into the base, and they can be lost quite easily.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum This Samsung model also functions as a home monitoring camera. It has a lens is accessible via your phone and is designed to keep an eye on the surrounding area of your home. You can also create a schedule of when you want it to patrol the house while you are away. This is a great option for pet owners who shed or you want to watch out for anyone sneaking in.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a variety of features including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin, and five layers of filtration. It's a great option for those looking for an expensive model that is able to clean hard floors, but don't mind a little dust on carpets.
One of the greatest characteristics of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It utilizes a combination sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and locate objects. It then either moves around them or marks them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making Samsung a safe option for your home.
On the other hand this model isn't able to do very well on spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice grains on low-pile carpet and sending the robot to clean. The robot was unable pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result, given that other models performed better in the test.
It's also worth noting, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be quite expensive compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a highly rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for half the price.
The SmartThings application is used to control this robot as with other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple using the in-app instructions. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, adjust suction power and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows you the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin must be emptied.
