2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with a lot of features. It has a long running time and does a great job of cleaning carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It also comes with a helpful app that is compatible with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls found in more expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum features an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll to penetrate into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is spotless. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions and the lower cliff sensor prevents the robot from falling down the stairs. It can even be programmed to operate a single room or set of rooms in scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning that it stopped halfway through.

While the Shark ION performs admirably on floors that are clean however, it struggles to pick up pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting caught under furniture. It does a good robot vacuum job of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is one of its best features. There's a round cleaning button located on the top of the unit that you can push to begin a cleaning session or use your phone to launch the shark robot vacuum and mop ION app and give it a voice-command. After you've completed that, the app will inform you of the battery level and status of the vacuum as well as whether it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Many customers also loved the fact that this robot can be controlled by Alexa. You can turn this vacuum on and off using an easy voice command, and you can utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The one thing we didn't like about this vacuum was that it took a bit longer to charge as compared to other models that we've reviewed. Also the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit in the base and are easily lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not just an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera for monitoring your home. It has a lens is accessible via your smartphone and is designed to watch the area around your home. You can set up a schedule to have it monitor your home while you're away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you wish to be on the lookout for any intruders.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a premium model that comes with a host of features including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin and five layers of filtering. It's an excellent option for those looking for a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.

This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most effective features. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and find objects. It can either navigate around the object or declares it an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't available on many other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure option for your home.

This model is not very efficient in spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The robot did a poor job of pushing the rice grains around, and failed to remove any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's important to note, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be quite expensive compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a top-rated robot vacuum that provides similar features for half the cost.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled through the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with in-app prompts to guide you through it.
