3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model also doubles as a home surveillance camera.

Then, it either navigates around them or labels them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature isn't present on many other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure option for your home.
On the other hand this model doesn't perform very well at spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet with rice grains scattered across it. The machine did a fairly poor job at pushing the rice grains around, and did not remove any of them. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models have performed better in this test.
It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance for a lower cost.
