We tested the EZ Robot against the iRobot Roomba 694, and the iRobot performed better in all categories. The iRobot is more robustly built and has a larger dirt compartment capacity because of its external dustbin. It also gets rid of debris better on low- and high-pile flooring, moves more easily, and allows users to set virtual boundaries with the companion app. The iRobot also charges faster and has a longer battery time.

The Matrix is a great option for homes with lots of flooring that is not used, but it could struggle to pick larger pieces of debris. It is taller than other vacuums and may struggle to get under furniture with low levels. It does a great job of keeping your home tidy and free of debris.

It’s also a good choice for pet owners and has excellent maneuverability. It also has a few features that set it apart from other robots. These include self-emptying and visual mapping.

Its battery life is excellent and lasts for more than an hour on its high-suction ‘Max’ mode. In its energy-efficient ‘Eco’ mode, it can run for up to two and a half hours. The companion app displays the robot’s current status, and the top has lights that show its current charge. If both lights are blue, it’s fully charged; when one goes off, and the other one turns red, it’s about to run out of energy.

You can change the robot’s power modes, get push notifications as well as set up a clean schedule and look up its history. It’s compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands to control the robot. It has an automatic mode that can alter the power of cleaning depending on what kind of surface it’s cleaning.

The robot will then begin cleaning in that particular room If it ever gets low on battery or encounters an obstacle it can be reset manually it using the app’s menu.

The IQ’s docking station has an external dirt compartment that can hold up to 30 cycles of debris before you have to empty it. This makes it easier to maintain the unit without hands, but it’s not as convenient as the bagless design of a large-sized Shark vacuum.

Compared to the iRobot Roomba 694, the IQ Robot has better overall performance on all types of floors it uses smart-pathing to create more efficient cleaning routes and comes with physical boundaries that you can utilize to prevent it from entering certain areas.

It comes with a feature that lets you can set limits for it, so it doesn’t spill out or into rooms you do not wish to.

The AI Robot has two downsides: it is less reliable than my top robot vacuum (the Roborock Q5 which is a shrewdly reliable model+), and it performs a little less well on high-pile rugs. It is also a bit louder and has trouble collecting debris between wood planks or tiles. It still has many of the features I’m looking for in a robot vacuum, for instance, the capacity to empty itself and is less expensive than the iRobot Roomba 981.

This intelligent bot does an excellent job cleaning most surfaces however it’s weak on high-pile carpet. It’s great on plain flooring and its sensor system enables it to easily walk over electrical cords and rug tassels without getting stuck.

You can also connect your smartphone to the robot so that you can operate it from any area of your house and control its smart functions through the Wi-Fi connection on your smartphone or tablet.
