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 steps and ledges, and also plan cleaning schedules with your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo j5+, the latest 2-in-1 model in iRobot’s high-end range, has vacuuming and mopping capabilities. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it get smarter over time and creates a Smart Map of your floors. It allows you to name your rooms, create cleaning schedules and designate no-mop areas for your carpets. It utilizes vSLAM navigation, and has the ability to detect obstacles and objects thanks to iRobot's latest obstacle avoidance technology. It is also able to detect all carpet types that range from thin to low-pile, 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 separate dirt bins and another mop/vacuuming combination bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or water. The robot will automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode based on its bin contents.

The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode to deliver powerful dust suction that leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to empty the dirt bin of the robot and provide you with a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also comes with a dedicated power button that lets you immediately switch between mopping and vacuuming.

The iRobot Home App makes it easy to set up and use up your robot. With just a few taps you can create a personalized cleaning plan for your whole home or just one room. You can also monitor your robot remotely and check its status.

You can even make use of your smartphone as a remote control to start a cleaning session, or you can use your voice to command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This makes it easier to pair your smart home devices. It comes with pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner's official guarantee), which helps it avoid pet messes. This is a great choice for pet owners but wants the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.

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 a great job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It also comes with a helpful app and works well with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with an extremely powerful motor that has multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to make sure your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions and an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down stairs. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms at regular intervals.

The Shark ION is extremely effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it is unable to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets caught under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles, and it has a long runtime of up to 90 minutes.

One of the great things about this robot is its user-friendly interface. You can use the round button on the top of the unit to start cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your phone and give it a command. The app will then tell you how much battery is left and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session is complete or not.

Many customers also loved the fact that this robot can be controlled by Alexa. The vacuum can be turned off and on with a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times with the app. The only downside we found with this robot is that it takes a little longer to charge than the other models we've reviewed, and the two included hand vac attachments don't fit inside the base and can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum in the market, this Samsung model can also be used as a home monitoring camera. It has a lens accessible via your smartphone, and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can also create a schedule of when you want it to patrol the house while you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you want to be on the lookout for any intrusions.

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

This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is one of its best features. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and find objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, which makes the Samsung the best option for your home.

This model is not very efficient at spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a carpet with rice grains scattered over it. The machine was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing outcome given that other models have done better in this test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance for less. For example, you can purchase a top-rated robot vacuum that has similar features for a fraction of the cost with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot as well as other Samsung smart products. The setup process is easy with the help of the app's instructions. The app allows you to see the map, design cleaning schedules, adjust suction, choose no-go zones, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot vacuum mop and lets you know when the dustbin must be cleaned.

Most modern robotic mops and vacuums are compatible with smartphones that allow you to save your home's maps and create custom cleaning schedules, and control the functions of your machine. Certain models have a smart mopping pad that can dry between usages. This prevents the growth of mildew or bacteria on the floor.

The slim design of the vacuum and mop combination allows it to be placed in corners and under furniture. Its complete suite of sensors can also effortlessly avoid obstacles and stairs.
