Robot vacuums
Our budget pick
Why we like it
You’d be hard-pressed to find a LiDAR-equipped robot vacuum for less than $200, and it’s even trickier to find one that can actually find the rooms it maps. On sale for $169, Shark’s model hits the mark, and administers 30% more effective carpet cleaning than its predecessor (according to Shark).

Our splurge pick
Why we like it
Even without the mopping functionality just announced for the Combo version of the j7+, the OG j7+ is still a super solid investment — especially when it drops back to all time low pricing. It was the first Roomba to introduce Genius Technology and PrecisionVision Navigation to avoid small obstacles that were previously problem-causers, like phone chargers and pet waste. The j7+ also self-empties.

Robot vacuum and mop hybrids
Our pick
Why we like it
In Summer 2022, Roborock debuted two mid-range self-emptiers (compared to its other self-emptiers, which start at $949.88.) Both use LiDAR to map your home and head to the rooms you specify, deploying hearty suction and emptying into a compact dock. The Q7 Max+ is the hybrid of the pair, but you’ll have to create a no-go zone to avoid getting carpets wet.
