You won't get smart mapping at this price point, but the Eufy Clean G40 does provide quite thorough coverage through neat rows, which provides more cleaning accuracy than the bump-and-go approach through gyroscope guidance (hence the "G" in the title). It manages to squeeze out more than an hour of cleaning on Max mode and has suction more than strong enough for hard floors and light carpet upkeep.

Giving up obstacle recognition and a live camera shaves nearly $300 off the price of Samsung's Jet Bot AI+, leaving you with the mid-range Jet Bot+ at $395 — more than 50% off its regular $799. The non-AI Jet Bot still receives pretty outstanding reviews for its accurate laser mapping and — surprise — the ability to actually find the room or zone you select. Suction automatically adjusts depending on floor type and debris is automatically transferred to the slim Clean Station.

Even without the mopping functionality of the Combo version of the j7+, the OG j7+ is still a super-solid investment — especially when it drops to less than $600. 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.

Spring 2023 marked (another) new era for Roborock with the release of the S8 series — and two models are already on sale. Compared to one of our previous-favorite hybrids, the S7, the S8 introduces AI-powered obstacle avoidance, amped suction power, and dual roller brushes underneath. Roborock says that those last two improvements lead to a 30% increase in hair pickup.
