2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with lots of features. It is able to run for a long time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It also comes with a useful app that works well with Alexa. However, it lacks the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls of expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum is outfitted with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller to reach into corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It comes with bumper sensors that can help avoid collisions, and an lower cliff detector to prevent the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms at regular intervals.

While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean but it is unable to clean up pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It also gets stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.

Then it either navigates around them or marks them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, making Samsung a safe choice for your house.

This model isn't very adept in spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered on it. The robot did a poor job of pushing the rice grains around, and failed to pick up any of them. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models did better in the test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for half the price.
