(It often guesses socks, towels, or cables but it was not too useful). This feature is particularly useful for those with children because the Jet Bot+ will avoid toys that could hinder other robots.

5. Eufy G20

The G20 has a variety of features that you won't typically see in robot vacuums of this price. It has a sidebrush that is able to push debris away in the direction of its main brushroll in the event that it comes across it. It has a mopping function that uses a moderate amount of water to dry and clean your floors. But, you cannot control the force of the mopping. The addition of a variety of wiping strengths would have been useful in this case, since you require more or less water on tiles than on wood.

The cleaning performance of this robot is excellent on bare floors. It is able to pick up small pieces of material like rice effortlessly and was able to handle heavier debris like cereal on this type of surface too. It had a tough time with the most difficult test that we have, the test for flour spillage. It was able to collect 45g of flour, but there was a visible residue on the floor.

Its navigation is also somewhat difficult. It was frequently bumped against furniture, and some pieces of furniture were slightly scratched. It does, at least have a bumper that absorbs the impact. It can also cross over thresholds of high intensity.
