2. Shark ION
The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with an impressive amount of features at a reasonable price. It has a long run time and does a good job cleaning carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It also comes with a helpful app that is compatible with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map and other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.
This robot vacuum features powerful motors and multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is truly clean. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It can also be programmed to run a specific room or a group of rooms in scheduled intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning sessions that were stopped midway through.
The Shark ION is very good in cleaning floors with no dirt. However, it has a difficult time to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles, and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.
One of the great things about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. There's a round cleaning button at the top of the device that you can push to begin a cleaning session or use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. Once you've done that the app will tell you the current battery level and the status of the vacuum as well as if it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Another thing that a lot of people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. You can turn this vacuum off and on with a simple voice command, and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only issue we found with this robot is that it takes a bit longer to charge than some of the other models that we've examined, and that the two included hand vac attachments can't fit inside the base and could be lost quite easily.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum This Samsung model also functions as a home surveillance camera. It has a lens you can access through your smartphone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can create a schedule to have it patrol your home while you are gone. This is perfect if your pets shed or you need to be on the lookout for any criminals.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a range of features, including object recognition home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtration. It's a great 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.
One of the best characteristics of this robot is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surrounding area and identify items. It either navigates around the object or declares it an unfriendly zone on the map. shark self emptying robot vacuum is not available on other robots, making the Samsung the best option for your home.
This model isn't very good at spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet with rice grains scattered on it. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result in light of the fact that other models did better in the tests.
It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features at half the cost.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled through the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy thanks to the in-app instructions.
