One of the highlights is the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ at Walmart with a self-emptying dock and an Amazon bestseller that can detect pet poop and stay clear of the ledges and stairs, and schedule cleanings using your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo j5+, the most recent 2-in-1 model of irobot mopping and vacuum's top-of-the-line range, comes with both vacuuming and mopping capabilities. It's powered by iRobot OS which makes it smarter with time and creates a map of your floors. This lets you name rooms and make cleaning schedules as well as designate no-mop zones for your carpets. It is able to detect objects and obstacles thanks to the new obstacle avoidance technology of iRobot. It also can detect all types of carpets, from low-pile to thick, and adjust its cleaning mode to suit.

The model, just like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed to be used for both vacuuming and mopping. It has an additional bin for dirt and a mop/vacuuming bin you can fill with water or a liquid cleaner. The robot is able to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes based on the contents of its bins.

Utilizing iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction that leaves your floors spotless. This mode makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system to clean the robot's dirt bin, giving you an unrestricted hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also comes with an individual power button that lets you immediately switch between vacuuming and mopping.

It's easy to set-up and use your robot with the iRobot Home app. With just a few clicks, you can create a customized cleaning plan for your whole home or just one room. You can also view your robot's status and monitor it remotely.

You can make use of your smartphone to begin an exercise in cleaning or command it with your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This makes it easier to pair your smart home devices. It is equipped with the pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner official promise), which helps it avoid pet messes. This is a great option for those who have pets but would like the convenience of a mop and vacuum combination robot.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with an impressive amount of features for the price. It has a long running time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It also comes with a useful app and works well with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map and other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum features a powerful motor with a multi-surface brush roll that can get into corners and cracks to ensure your home is spotless. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, mops as well as the lower cliff sensor stops the robot from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms on a regular basis.

While the Shark ION performs admirably on floors that are clean, it does struggle to clean up pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It also gets caught under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and can run for up to 90 minutes.

One of the best things about this robot is its user-friendly interface. There's a circular cleaning button located on the top of the unit, which you can push to begin the cleaning process, or you can use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. After you've completed that, the app will inform you of 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 many people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. This vacuum can be switched off and on with a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times with the app. The one thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a more time to charge as compared to other models that we've looked at. Also, the two hand vac attachments don't fit into the base and can easily be lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not just an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera to monitor your home. It has a lens that you can access via your smartphone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can also set up a schedule for when you want it to be patrolling the home when you are away. This is great for pets that shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ comes with a number of features such as object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust and mops five layers of filtration. It's a great choice for those looking for an expensive model that can clean hard floors, but who don't mind the occasional dust that gets on carpets.

One of the best attributes of this robot is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and identify items. It then either navigates around them or marks them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making the Samsung a safe choice for your house.

This model isn't particularly good in spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice particles on low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The roborock robot vacuum was unable move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing outcome given that other models have performed better in this test.

It's important to note, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that provides similar features for half the cost.

The SmartThings application is used to control the robot, as well as other Samsung smart products. The setup process is simple with the app prompts that guide you through the process. The app lets you see the map, set the cleaning schedules and suction power settings and select no-go zones and manage other settings. It also shows you the current status of the robot and when the dustbin must be emptied.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

If you're not yet ready to commit to a dedicated robot vacuum and separate mop, this one-stop model might be exactly the thing you're looking for. It's available now for nearly half price and features four different cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty, and the mopping tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (7 7 ounces).

Last year, we tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be very effective on both low-pile and hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every space in your home is cleaned, and it also has the ability to recognize stairs. It also comes with a remote control, which makes it easy to adjust the settings.

Another advantage is that it works using voice commands, which means you can start and stop the cleaning process through an app on your phone or tablet. The app allows you to set a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The battery can last for up to 100 minutes, and the robot automatically returns to its base to recharge after every cleaning session or when the power is depleted.

This robotic vacuum mop is a great choice for busy families. It's currently on sale at less than half the original price. It has a 4.5-star score from customers and has an intelligent cleaning system that utilizes three steps of cleaning to ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned. It even detects pet hair and dander which makes it an ideal option for families with pets.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops work with smartphones applications. These apps allow you to save maps of your house as well as create customized cleaning programs, and even control your machine. Certain models also come with smart mopping pads that dry between uses, which can help keep bacteria and mildew from forming on your flooring.

The vacuum-mop combo's slim design enables it to fit in corners and under furniture, and its full collection of sensors seamlessly eliminates obstacles and stairs. It integrates smartly with apps and the mopping pad comes with triple HEPA filtration to prevent dust particles from getting into the air in your home.
