1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo J5+, the newest 2-in-1 model in iRobot’s high-end range, has vacuuming and mopping capabilities. It is powered by iRobot OS which self emptying robot vacuum is the best makes it smarter over time and creates the floor map. It lets you identify your rooms, set up cleaning schedules and designate no-mop areas for your carpets. It can detect obstacles and objects with iRobot’s new obstacle avoidance tech. It can also recognize all types of carpets, from low-pile to thick and then adjust its cleaning mode accordingly.

Like the iRobot Combo j7+, this model comes with Power-Lifting Suction and is made for mopping and vacuuming. It comes with separate dirt bins and a second mop/vacuuming combo bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch from vacuuming to mopping mode depending on the contents of the bin.

Using iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors clean. This mode makes use of the Clean Base automatic robot vacuum Cleaner Dirt collection system to clean the robot's dirt bin and provide you with a unrestricted hands-free experience.

The iRobot Home App makes it easy to set up and use up your robot. With just a few clicks, you can create a personalized cleaning plan for your whole home or just one room. You can also view your robot's progress and monitor it remotely.

You can use your smartphone to start cleaning or make it a command using your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, making it more easy to connect with your existing smart home devices. It is equipped with the pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner's official guarantee) which helps steer clear of pet mess. This is a great choice for those who have pets but prefers the convenience of a vacuum and mop combination robot.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with plenty of features for the price. It has a long running time and is able to clean both bare floors and carpeted rooms. It is a great app and is well used with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls that are found in the more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller that can reach into corners and cracks. 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 automatic Robot vacuum cleaner that stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can even be programmed to operate a single room or set of rooms at scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning that had been stopped midway through.

While the Shark ION is very effective on clean floors, it does struggle to pick up pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It also gets stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and runs for 90 minutes.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is one of its best features. There is a round cleaning button on the top of the device that you can press to start a cleaning session, or you can make use of your smartphone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. Once you've done that, the app will tell you the battery level and status of the vacuum and also if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that many customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. The vacuum can be switched off and on by a simple voice command. You can also schedule cleaning times using the app. The only thing we didn't love about this vacuum was that it took a little more time to charge compared to other models we've tested. Additionally the two hand vac attachments included don't fit into the base and can easily be lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not only an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It comes with a lens you can access via your smartphone and is designed to keep an eye on the surrounding area of your home. You can set a schedule to have it patrol your home while you are gone. This is especially useful if you have pets that shed or if you wish to keep an eye out for anyone who is sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a host of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-empyting dust bin, and five layers of filtering. It's a great choice for those looking for an expensive model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but aren't afraid of some dust on carpets.

One of the best characteristics of this robot is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surroundings and detect objects. Then, it either navigates around them or marks them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making Samsung a safe choice for your house.

On the contrary this model isn't able to do very well at spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice grains on carpets with low pile and sending the robot in to clean. The machine did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not pick up any of them. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models did better in the tests.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a top-rated robot vacuum that provides the same features at half the price.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. Setup is simple using in-app instructions. The app lets you view the map, set the cleaning schedules and adjust suction power, select no-go zones, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dust bin needs to be emptied.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo

If you're not yet ready to invest in a robot vacuum that is dedicated to you and a mop separately, this all-in-one model might be what you're looking for. This model is available for less than half the price and has four cleaning modes. The dust container for the vacuum is easy to empty, and the mopping tank holds up 200 milliliters (7 8 ounces).

Last year, we tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be very efficient on low-pile as well as hard floors. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which utilizes a grid-like design to clean every corner of your home, is able to also detect stairs. It has a remote that makes it easy to change settings.

Another plus is that it works using voice commands, which means you can initiate and end the cleaning process through an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app also lets you set an agenda for cleaning and select the cleaning mode. The robot will return to its charging base automatically after each cleaning session, or when power is not available.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a popular choice for busy families, and automatic Robot vacuum cleaner is currently on sale at a price that is more than 50% off the original price. It has a 5-star customer rating and features an intelligent cleaning system that employs a a 3-step cleaning process to ensure your home is clean. It even detects pet hair and dander so it's an excellent choice for households with pets.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with smartphone applications. These applications allow you to save maps of your house and create custom cleaning programs, and control your machine. Some models also have smart mopping pads that can dry in between uses, which helps to stop mildew and fungi from growing on your flooring.

The slim design of the vacuum-mop unit allows it to be tucked into corners and under furniture, while its full collection of sensors seamlessly avoids obstacles and stairs.
