The Right to Rent

This iRobot combination model is the best option if you want a robot vacuum that also mops. It's basically a j7-style robot with the addition of an AllergenLock bag that holds dirt until you empty it, and a larger water tank to use for mopping. It's not as expensive as the other mop-and-vacuum robots we've tested, however it can still be an expensive investment.

It comes with a large self-cleaning dock, which is much easier to clean than others. A drawer on the base is a storage space for dust bins, filters and other items. The Combo J7+ can be set to clean specific areas, and you can tell it the amount of liquid to use in each room. It is even able to make additional cleaning passes in areas that are prone to traffic.

The mop is raised and then lowered by the same robotic arm as on other Roomba however it will not activate if the robot is aware that it's on a hard or rug floor surface. This keeps it from accidentally scrubbing your floor with a wet pad, and ruining your flooring. It is also possible to program it to only mop certain surfaces, such as sealed stone tiles, wood or laminate.

This model mop for approximately 111 minutes, before the battery dies and it goes back to its dock to recharge. It is extremely effective in cleaning pet hair and dust from hardwood, tile and area rug. It also has the ability to navigate between transition strips and flooring surfaces. It is also able to vacuum wall-to-wall, without losing sight of the edge.

It can also be programed to vacuum only specific rooms, and it has an option for quiet drive that keeps its loudest motors from going on until it is in the room it is cleaning. This was one of the quietest robot vacuums we tested. It did not wash its mop pad in a continuous manner, as we've seen more premium robots doing in recent years.
