2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with lots of features. It is able to run for a long time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. However, it does not have the ability to map and other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.

The user interface that this robot has is among its most appealing features. There's a round cleaning button located on the top of the unit that you can press to start 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 inform you of the level of battery and status of the vacuum as well as whether it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.

The only thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a little more time to charge as compared to other models that we've tested. Additionally the two hand vac attachments don't fit into the base and are easily lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum in the market, this Samsung model can also be used as a home monitoring camera. It has a camera that you can access via your smartphone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home.

It's an excellent choice for people who want an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors but does not mind a little dust on carpets.

The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is one of its best features. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and identify objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't found on other robots and makes the Samsung an extremely safe choice for your home.

On the other hand, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice particles on carpet with a low pile and then sending the Robot mop vacuum to clean. The robot did a poor job of moving the rice grains around, and failed to take any of them. This is a disappointing outcome given that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be quite expensive in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that offers the same features at a fraction of the price.

The SmartThings application is used to control the robot, as with other Samsung smart products. The setup process is easy with the app prompts that guide you through it.
