1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo J5+, the latest 2-in-1 model of iRobot's top-of-the-line range, comes with both vacuuming and mopping features. It runs on iRobot OS which makes it more efficient and smarter as time passes. It also creates a map of your floors.

It utilizes vSLAM navigation, and can see obstacles and objects thanks to iRobot's latest obstacle avoidance technology. It can also recognize all types of carpets that range from thin to low-pile, and adjust its cleaning mode according to the type of carpet.

Like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed for both vacuuming as well as mopping. It comes with an additional dirt bin as well as an additional mop/vacuuming bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bin.

The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode to provide powerful dust suction, leaving your floors sparkling clean. This mode uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to empty the dirt bin of the robot which gives you a hands-free experience. The Combo j5+ has a dedicated power switch that allows you to instantly switch between mopping and cleaning.

It's easy to set-up and use your robot through the iRobot Home app. With a few taps, you can design a custom cleaning plan for your entire home or a single room. You can also see your robot's status and monitor it remotely.

You can also make use of your smartphone as a remote control to start a cleaning session, or you can allow your voice to control it. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This makes it easier to pair your smart home devices. It also comes with pet-safe technology P.O.O.P (Pet Owner Official Promise), which assists the robot to steer clear of pet mess. This is a great choice for those who have pets but wants the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum mop robot cleaner cleaner with plenty of features for the price. It has a long-running time and does an excellent job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls that are found in the more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum has powerful motors and multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is truly clean. It has bumper sensors that assist in avoiding collisions and the lower cliff detector that helps stop the robot from falling. It can also be programmed to operate a single room or a set of rooms in scheduled intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning that were stopped midway through.

The Shark ION is extremely effective in cleaning floors with no dirt. However, it struggles to remove pet hairs and vacuum other debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets caught under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles, and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.

One of the most appealing aspects about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. You can use the circular cleaning button located at the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. After you've completed that, the app will display the level of battery and status of the vacuum, as well as whether it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that a lot of users liked about this model is its ability to work with Alexa. This vacuum can be turned on and off by a simple voice command. You can also set up cleaning times by using the app. The only negative that we could find with this vacuum is that it takes a little longer to charge than some of the other models that we've looked at, and the two included hand vac attachments can't fit inside the base, and they can get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model isn't just the top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner It also functions as a camera for monitoring your home. It comes with a lens is accessible via your smartphone and is designed to keep an eye on the surrounding area of your home. You can even set up a timer for when you want it to patrol the house while you are away. This is especially useful if you have pets that shed or if you want to watch out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a top-quality model that comes with a host of features like object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dust bin and five layers of filtering. It's an excellent option for those who want an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors but does not mind a little dust on carpets.

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most effective features. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. Then it either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung the best choice for your house.

On the other hand this model isn't able to do well with spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered across it. The machine did a fairly poor job of pushing the rice grains and failed to pick up any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a highly rated robotic vacuum that offers the same features at half the price.

As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. Setup is simple using in-app instructions. The app allows you to see the map, design cleaning schedules, modify suction, set no-go areas and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot and when the dustbin must be empty.

This all-in-one cleaner could be the perfect solution for people who aren't ready to invest in an individual robot vacuum or mop. It's currently available for half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The dust bin for the vacuum is easy to empty, and the mopping water tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (or 7 ounces).

We tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and found that it performed well on hard floors as well as carpets with low pile. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which employs a grid-like pattern to clean every corner of your home, can also detect stairs. It includes a remote that makes it simple to alter settings.

Another plus is that it works by using voice commands, so you can start and stop the cleaning cycle through an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app allows you to create a cleaning schedule and select a cleaning option. The battery lasts for 100 minutes and the robot then returns to its base to charge after every cleaning session or when the power is low.

Certain models also come with smart mopping pads that can dry in between uses, which helps prevent mildew and bacteria from growing on your flooring.
