A combination robot works best if your house has many hard flooring. If you have a lot of rugs but you need to find a model capable of handling them. The Roomba 650's Dual Multi-Surface rubber brushes and powerful lift-and-drag suction makes it a great choice, as does the iRobot Braava Jet 240, which makes use of a specific nozzle that can handle the thick carpets. It also has an edge-sweeping brush, which keeps it from getting caught in rug fibers. The mopping system uses a low-speed pump and microfiber pads to deliver an intense clean without leaving streaks.

Performance

The Combo J9+ is a solid performance, but it is also easy to use. The app gives you access to advanced settings like a surface detection system that automatically ramps suction power when the robot is moved from carpet to hard floors and also a customisable cleaning schedule in the app. You can also set it up to self-empty. This is a feature that all the top robot mops today come with. This will save you from having to clean up messy, dirty mopping pads at the end of every run.

The Combo J9+ comes with high-end features that make it one of the best robot mops available. It can map your home with Imprint Smart Mapping, which is 7x faster than the previous iRobot mapping technology, and it can store multiple maps so you can instruct the robot to clean specific areas of your house on a regular basis or in the moment. You can also create virtual "Keep Out" zones to be sure that certain areas are not a part of the house and make sure that the robot is focused on rooms that you wish it to clean.

If you'd rather not go through the mapping process altogether and tell your robot to clean a room it is possible to connect your Combo j9+ with Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant enabled devices to start cleaning your home with your voice. The robot is also compatible with the iRobot Home app, where you can create a Smart Map and label your rooms to get started.

The Combo J9+ is among of the most effective mops for removing stains and grime from sealed bare floors, due to its SmartScrub tech. It also cleans extremely well on carpets, assisted by its exclusive Dirt Detective and Carpet Boost technologies. However, it's somewhat more difficult to maneuver through carpets than the simpler robot vacuum-mop hybrids we've tested, and you have to wash it manually after each mopping pad after every run because the docking station doesn't automatically wash it as other models do. It's not an issue however it is worth considering when looking at your alternatives.

App

With a robot mop you can keep your floors in a relatively continuous state of clean and unsticky without the need to vacuum or scrub frequently as you would with a traditional mop. This is especially useful in areas with a lot of traffic like bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways. It is still necessary to make use of a traditional rag or a Swiffer WetJet, to clean the most difficult stain.

The iRobot application allows you to create cleaning zones and customise map settings so the robot is directed to the areas it's most needed. You can also personalize iRobot OS with Dirt Detective that learns from mapping data, past cleaning missions and user inputs to offer cleaning tips and options to automatically prioritize rooms that are more soiled, or to adjust the settings for each room, including suction, scrubbing and mopping passes.

The iRobot app is easy to use and offers a lot of control on the time, place and method the robot cleans. It allows you to save and access your favorite cleaning routines and offers personalised recommendations to fit your lifestyle. You can also create No Mop Zones and other zones that tell the robot which areas to avoid cleaning, and adjust settings for specific messes, such as food spills, pet hair or dirty dishes.

Another useful feature of the app is its ability to schedule cleaning schedules in advance and also to stop the robot in the event that you need to run out for groceries or pick up your kids from school. You can also set a timer that will notify you when it's time for the robot to clean.

The iRobot mop's bin is removed and filled manually, or it can be automated to empty the bin on its own for up to 60 days. It is also compatible with a greater variety of cleaning solutions than any 2-in-1. You can also switch to the All-Floors Combo Bin, which can be used as a robot vacuum cleaner. It can mop and clean hard floors with just one touch.

The Right to Rent

If you're looking for a machine that vacuums and mops and vacuums, this model from iRobot might be the best option. It's essentially a j7 that has an AllergenLock Bag that stores dirt until it is emptied and a larger tank of water to mop. It's not as expensive as other robot mop-and-vacuum combinations we tested, but it's still an expensive investment.

It is programmed with irobot robot vacuum cleaner OS to automatically empty the AllergenLock bag every 60 days. It also has a large, self-cleaning dock that's easier to clean than other. The base comes with a drawer that stores extra dust bins, filters, and other accessories. The Combo j7+ can also be set to clean specific rooms, and you can specify how much liquid to use in each room. It can also be programmed to perform extra cleaning in areas that have high traffic.

The mop is raised or lowers by the same robotic arms as any other Roomba. However, it will not deploy if it detects it is on a rug. This prevents it from accidentally scrubbing your floor with a damp pad, and ruining the floors. It can be programmed to only mop certain types of flooring like laminate, wood or sealed stone tiles.

This model will mop for approximately 11 minutes before running out on battery and returning to its dock for recharge. It does an excellent job of collecting dust and pet hair from tile, hardwood and area carpets. It can also move between flooring surfaces and easily vacuums carpets from wall to wall without losing track of the edges of a room.

In vacuum mode, Combo j7+ uses three suction settings and a brush roller for removing pet hair and debris. It can be programmed to clean specific rooms and features an extremely quiet drive that stops its most loud motors from running until it is in the area it's cleaning. It was among our quietest robot vacuums. It didn't wash its mop pad in a continuous manner like we've seen top-quality robots doing in recent years.
