A capable, low maintenance flagship with strong carpet cleaning, spill detection and a hair cutting system that kept brushes clean in testing. It is slow, and Tom's Guide saw it miss corners and catch wires. Skip it if you pay near full price, since it was sold out with deep checkout discounts when we checked.

A good fit for homes with low beds and sofas, since the 3.14 in body has no LiDAR turret. The dock does nearly everything, but you still fill and empty water tanks every few runs. Skip it if your floors are covered in black cables or if the store is out of stock and the price is high elsewhere.

What reviewers found
Eureka J15 Max Ultra
- Tom's Guide: Vacuumed 602 sq ft in 72 minutes, leaving 65% battery. Mopping about 350 sq ft took nearly two hours. Skipped about 168 sq ft on one run and caught on lamp wires and carpet corners. Cited $1,199.99 at Eureka. Source
- Android Authority: Strong on carpets and pulled pine needles from rugs. No hair tangles. Water tanks needed swapping about every 1,000 sq ft. Mop pads popped off magnetically on bath mats, once four times in a day. Called it the best Eureka it has tested. Source
Roborock Saros 10R
- BGR: Called it Roborock's best model at launch. It fit under sofas and beds, had about 57% battery left after about 80 minutes of vacuuming and mopping, and needed tank service every four to six cleanings. It tangled in cables until a no go zone was set. Source
- TechRadar: Noise measured 62 dB at source and 55 dB at 10 feet. Oats were cleared but flour stayed in floor seams on Max and Max+. It cleaned a syrup, soy sauce and milk spill in one pass on low water and mapped five areas in about 5 min. It rode over a 1 inch dog bone until Pet mode was turned on, and the dust bag filled in about three weeks. Source
- Vacuum Wars (3.64 Vacuum Wars stars): Picked up 80% of embedded sand from medium pile carpet against a 75% average and 92% of flattened pet hair, with 0% hair tangling. Avoided 24 of 24 obstacles. Cleared 20 mm and 26 mm boards but failed a single 36 mm threshold. Estimated about 1,389 sq ft per charge. The onboard bin is 270 ml. Source
