The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with a good amount of features at a reasonable price. It has a long-running time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It has a good app and is well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map and other advanced controls of expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum has powerful motors and multi-surface brush rolls that get into corners and cracks to ensure that your home is spotless. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions and a lower cliff sensor that prevents the robot from falling down the stairs. It is also programmed to operate a single room or a set of rooms at regular intervals. It is also capable of resuming cleaning sessions it stopped halfway through.
While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean, it does struggle to pick up pet hair and fine debris on carpeted areas. It can also get caught in furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.
The user interface that this robot has is among its greatest features. There's a circular cleaning button on the top of the unit that you can press to start cleaning or make use of your smartphone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. The app will tell you how much battery left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also tell you if the cleaning process is complete or not.
Many customers also liked the fact that this vacuum can be controlled by Alexa. The vacuum can be switched off and on by a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times by using the app. The only thing we didn't like about this robot was that it took a little bit longer to charge as compared to other models that we've looked at. Additionally, the two hand vac attachments do not fit into the base and can easily be lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
This Samsung model is not only an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera for monitoring your home.

It's an excellent choice for those looking for an excellent model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but don't mind a little dust on carpets.
One of the best characteristics of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the environment and find objects. Then it either navigates around them or labels them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature isn't present on other robots, which makes the Samsung the most secure option for your home.
On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice particles on carpets with low pile and sending the robot to clean. The machine was unable to move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have done better in this test.
It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey when 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 robot vacuum that provides the same features at a fraction of the price.
The SmartThings application is used to control this robot as well as other Samsung smart products. The setup process is easy thanks to in-app instructions. The app lets you see the map, set the cleaning schedules and suction power settings and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings.
