1. iRobot Roomba i7+
The Roomba I7+ is a powerful robot vacuum that can be used to help clean your home. It’s a new robot vacuum that has the Clean Base automatic dirt disposal with ten times more suction power than the previous models, and Dirt Detect to highlight particularly dirt-ridden areas on carpets or unfinished floors. You can also program the robot to clean at certain times with a schedule via the companion app. You can also create virtual barriers using persistent maps (it will keep track of your home’s layout and can even clean furniture), and make use of voice commands.
The i7+ appears quite similar to the previous iRobot models. When you flip it over, you’ll see that the rubber rollers that draw dirt in now have finer chevons. The i7+ has an external dirt bin, rather than a built-in dustbin which means it can hold more debris, and it can be cleaned manually or automatically.

It is possible to schedule the i7+ to run during your lunch break or at the night. You can also schedule regular cleaning sessions. This could include a weekly check of the cat’s box or a weekly cleaning of the living area.
The i7+ is not just for its smart mapping feature, which lets you create an outline of your home and teach the robot to recognize where it is in the home. It can then navigate more efficiently, including avoiding obstacles such as beds, chairs, and sofas. You can also add “Clean Zones”, “Keep Out Zones”, and change the amount of traction, brush strength, and brush strength to instruct the robot on where to focus its efforts.
2. Eureka Groove
This vacuum cleaner is priced at a lower price point than most of its competitors but still offers plenty of features. It’s built well, is easy to store, and works even without an internet connection. However, it’s not able to clear pet hair on all surfaces and isn’t great in maneuvering around obstacles. It also has a smaller dirt compartment and doesn’t come with an allergen-trapping HEPA filter. Its navigation system is also basic, and it is prone to get caught under coat racks and chairs.
Despite these flaws However, customers have praised Groove for its suction power. It is particularly effective in taking dirt, dust and pet hair from low pile and flooring carpets. It can also be used to clean furniture and upholstery as well as remove mites and other irritants from fabric. It can be operated in four different ways and allows you to schedule cleanings through the Eureka app, or control it via Alexa or Google Assistant.

It also has a clear dust cup, which allows you to see its level and empty.
The Groove has a body made of plastic with brushed and matte finish accents that feel fairly sturdy. It is compact and takes very little room in a closet or cabinet. It’s also light at 4.9 pounds making it much easier to carry and move around. Its components are fragile, and some, like the lid for the dust cup and brushroll compartment, may be susceptible to scratching or cracking. Also, its charging pins, sensor, and brushroll can all be accessed for maintenance, and should be cleaned with a dry, clean cloth regularly.
3. Shark IQ Robot Self Empty XL
Robot vacuums can cut down in cleaning, but they require regular emptying and add an additional chore to your list of to-dos. The Shark IQ Self-Empty XL, RV1001AE, is more self-sufficient that the other models. It comes with a large dustbin that is able to be empty every month. It also operates fast and efficiently, rarely gets stuck, and connects to Amazon Alexa so you can control it using your voice, and offers a recharge and resume feature that allows the vacuum to automatically return to its base if it starts running low on battery and then pick up right where it began.
This vacuum works well on unfinished floors, effortlessly clearing pet hair and small pieces of debris like cereal and rice. It is unable to handle heavy materials and its dirt tank can fill up quickly. It’s a robust device with a long battery, but it can’t climb over low obstacles such as power cables. Recurring costs are relatively high, with many parts needing regular maintenance or replacement.
The IQ Robot comes with a variety of automation features. One of the features is a scheduling feature that lets you create weekly and monthly cleaning schedules. The app is simple to use and lets you see cleaning history and any notifications of errors. The vacuum can also be controlled with Alexa or with the remote, which can be beneficial for families with busy schedules.
It comes with three power modes – Eco Normal, Max, and Eco. These did not significantly alter its cleaning prowess or the amount of noise it generated during our tests. Its Auto Mode automatically adjusts suction power to match the surface it’s cleaning, while its Boost mode gives greater suction on harder surfaces.
The Shark IQ can be a great alternative to iRobot Roomba i7. We rated it higher in our tests due to a variety of factors. The i7 is more durable, and has a larger dustbin that’s mounted on its base station and can hold twice as much dust as the Shark. It also performs better on floors with a high pile and bare floors. It also charges much faster and has a longer maximum battery life, though it’s not as self emptying Robot vacuum-sufficient as the Shark when it comes to creating virtual boundaries and no-go zones through its companion app.

Its UltraPack Compression system increases the capacity of the dustbin, reducing the amount of times it needs to be empty. The robovac is controlled via voice via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
The eufy RoboVac is a bit retro design from the 1980s, with the gold and black lines angled towards the silver eufy logo at the top.
