It is a great app and is well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls you will find in the more expensive competitors.

The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is among its most appealing features. There's a circular cleaning button on the top of the device that you can press to start a cleaning session or utilize your phone to open the Shark ION app and give it a voice command.

Many customers also liked the fact that this robot works with Alexa. This vacuum can be turned on and off by simply speaking. You can also set up cleaning times using the app. The only thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a bit longer to charge compared to other models we've looked at. Also, the two hand vac attachments included don't fit into the base and robot Vacuum and mop combo can easily be lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

It's a good option for those looking for a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.

This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most impressive features. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the environment and find objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature isn't found on other robots, which makes the Samsung a very safe option for your home.

On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered on it. The robot did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not take any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's important to note, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality and performance at a lower cost. For instance, you could get a top rated robot vacuum-rated robot vacuum with similar features for half the price of the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
