## What reviewers say

**iRobot Roomba j9+** — Only one whitelisted tester (TechHive) reviewed the exact vacuum-only Roomba j9+, hands-on with no lab bench numbers; it earned Editors' Choice for strong cleaning and obstacle avoidance. Other major reviews (Tom's Guide, TechRadar, Engadget) cover the mop-hybrid Combo j9+, a different config, so were excluded here. (1 sourced review.)

**Ecovacs DEEBOT X2 Omni** — Two whitelisted testers (Reviewed's lab, TechRadar hands-on) both rate the DEEBOT X2 Omni among the best vacuum-mop hybrids: excellent debris pickup, strong mopping, and standout object avoidance. Both flag the very high list price (Reviewed cites over $1,400; TechRadar lists $1,499.99). TechRadar's main knock is mop pads that skip room edges; Reviewed's is dirty pads on thick rugs. (2 sourced reviews.)
