2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum with self empty 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 or bare floors. It is a great app and works well when used with Alexa. However, it does not have the ability to map and other advanced controls of expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller which can reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor stops the robot from falling down stairs.

It can also get stuck under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles, and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is among its most appealing features. You can use the circular cleaning button located at the top of the unit to start cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. The app will then tell you how much battery left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also tell you if the cleaning session is complete or not.

Another feature that many people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum on and off using an easy voice command, and you can make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only issue we have found with this model is that it takes longer to charge than the other models we've reviewed, and the two included hand vac attachments can't fit in the base and could be lost quite easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum in the market, this Samsung model also doubles as a home surveillance camera.

The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is one of its best robot vacuum for carpet and hardwood features. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and find objects. Then it either moves around them or marks them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't present on many other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe option for your home.

This model isn't very efficient in spot cleaning. We sent the robot 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 test given that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that offers the same features at a fraction of the cost.
