It comes with a separate bin for dirt, and a mop/vacuuming bin you can fill with water or a liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode according to the contents of its bin.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with many features. It has a long-running time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It also comes with a helpful app that works well with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls of expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller that can reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms on a regular basis.

While the Shark ION is very effective on clean floors but it is unable to remove pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.

The user interface that this robot has is one of its best self emptying robot vacuum features. You can use the circular cleaning button located at the top of the unit to initiate cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. Once you've done that the app will display the battery level and status of the vacuum, as well as whether it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that many people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. The vacuum can be turned on and off by simply speaking. You can also set up cleaning times with the app. The only thing we didn't love about this model was that it took a bit longer to charge in comparison to other models we've tested. Also, the two hand vac attachments included do not fit into the base and can easily be lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not just the top-rated robotic vacuum mop robot cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera to monitor your home. It has a camera that which you can access through your phone and is designed to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can set up a schedule to have it monitor your home while you're away. This is great for pets that shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features, including object recognition, home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust and five layers of filtration. It's a great choice for those looking for a premium model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but don't mind a little dust on carpets.

One of the greatest characteristics of this robot is its advanced obstacle avoidance. It uses a combination of sensors and theleagueonline.org artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. Then it either moves around them or marks them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making the Samsung the best robot vacuum and mop choice for your home.

On the other hand, this model doesn't do well with spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered on it. The machine was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test 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 similar performance for a lower cost. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a highly rated robotic vacuum that provides similar features for half the cost.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled through the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy with the app prompts that guide you through the process. The app lets you view the map, set cleaning schedules and suction power settings, select no-go zones, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin must be empty.

The dust bin for the vacuum is easy to empty, and the mopping water tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (or 7 ounces).

Last year, we tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely efficient on low-pile as well as hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern that ensures that every space in your home is cleaned, and it has the ability to recognize stairs. It also has an remote control that allows you to easily adjust the settings.
