BOSTON — Whether are buying one for your loved ones or yourself, there are many Black Friday Robot Vacuum Black Friday vacuums to choose from. From self-emptying vacuums that are smart to ones that mop, a variety of brands are offering discounts.
A few highlights include the best robot vacuum cleaner iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock at Walmart and an Amazon bestseller that can spot pet poop, avoid stairs and ledges and even schedule cleanings from your smartphone.
1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
The Roomba Combo j5+, the most recent 2-in-1 model from iRobot’s premium range, comes with both mopping and vacuuming functionality. It runs on iRobot OS which makes it more efficient and smarter as time passes. It also creates an outline of your floors. This lets you name rooms and create cleaning schedules, as well and designate no-mop zones to your carpets. It uses vSLAM navigation and is able to detect obstacles and objects thanks to iRobot’s new obstacle avoidance technology. It can also recognize all types of carpets from thin to low-pile and alter its cleaning mode accordingly.
Like the iRobot Combo j7+, this model features Power-Lifting Suction and is designed for both mopping and vacuuming. It comes with separate bins for dirt and a mop/vacuuming bin you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot is able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bins.
Using iRobot’s Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors clean. This mode also uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to clean the robot’s dirty bin, giving you the freedom to move your hands. The Combo j5+ also has an individual power button that lets you instantly switch between mopping and vacuuming.
The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and set up your robot. With just a few clicks, you can design a custom cleaning plan for your whole home or just one room. You can also monitor your robot remotely and view its current status.
You can use your smartphone to start an exercise in cleaning or make it a command using your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, robot vacuum Black Friday Siri, and Google Assistant, making it more convenient to pair with your existing smart home devices. It is equipped with the pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner’s official promise) which helps it avoid pet messes. This is a great choice for pet owners who would like the convenience of a robot vacuum and mop.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model with many features. It has a long run time and it does a good job cleaning both bare floors and carpeted rooms. It’s a great app that works well used with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor with a multi-surface brush roll that can penetrate into cracks and corners to make sure your home is spotless. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It can even be programmed to run a single room or set of rooms in scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning that it stopped halfway through.
The Shark ION is extremely effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it is unable to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and has a runtime of 90 minutes.
One of the best things about this robot is its user-friendly interface. There is a round cleaning button on the top of the device that you can push to begin a cleaning session or utilize your phone to open the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. Once you’ve done that the app will display the battery level and status of the vacuum and also if it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this vacuum is compatible with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum off and on with an easy voice command, and you can also use the app to schedule cleaning times. The only thing we didn’t like about this vacuum was that it took a more time to charge as compared to other models that we’ve looked at. Also the two hand vac attachments aren’t able to fit in the base and can easily be lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
This Samsung model is not only a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera for monitoring your home. It comes with a lens that accessible via your smartphone and is built to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can set up a timer to watch your home even when you’re away. This is perfect if your pets shed or you wish to watch for any intrusions.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a range of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtering. It’s a good option for those who want a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors, but does not mind a little dust on carpets.
One of the most impressive features of this robot is its advanced obstacle avoidance. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and detect objects. It then either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn’t found on other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe option for your home.
On the other hand this model doesn’t perform well with spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The machine was unable to move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing outcome in light of the fact that other models did better in the tests.
It’s worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn’t cheap compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that offers the same features at a fraction of the price.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled through the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy using in-app instructions. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, choose no-go zones and also manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin needs to be emptied.
4. Manvins Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo
In the last year, we tried this heavy duty robot vacuum in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be very efficient on low-pile as well as hard floors. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which utilizes a grid-like design to clean every corner of your home, can also recognize stairs. It has a remote that makes it simple to alter settings.
Another benefit is that it can be used by using voice commands, so you can begin and stop the cleaning process by through an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app allows you to create a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The battery lasts for 100 minutes, and the robot automatically returns to its base to recharge after each cleaning session, or if the power is low.
This robotic vacuum mop is a great choice for busy families. It’s currently on sale at more than half off its original price. It has a 4-out-of-5 score from customers and has an intelligent cleaning system that utilizes three steps of cleaning to ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned.

Most modern robotic mops and vacuums are compatible with smartphones that allow you to save maps of your home, create customized cleaning schedules, and control the functions of your machine. Some models come with a smart mopping pad that can dry between uses. This prevents mildew or bacteria from growing on the floor.
