The model, just like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed for vacuuming as well as mopping. It has a separate dirt bin and an additional mop/vacuuming bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches 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 utilizes the Clean Base Automatic Dirt collection system to empty the dirt bin of the robot and provide you with a unrestricted hands-free experience. The Combo j5+ has an individual power switch that allows users to instantly switch between mopping and cleaning.

This allows you to connect your smart home devices. It also has pet-safe technology P.O.O.P (Pet Owner Official Promise), which assists the robot in steering clear of pet mess. This is an excellent choice for pet owners but prefers the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with a lot of features. It has a long-running time and does a fantastic job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It has a good app that works well used with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls found in the more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with powerful motors and a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to make sure your home is truly clean. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions and the lower cliff sensor prevents the robot from falling down the stairs. It can even be programmed to operate a single room or set of rooms in scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions were stopped midway through.

The Shark ION is very effective in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it struggles to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It can also get stuck 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. You can either press the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your phone and give it a command. Once you've done that the app will tell you the level of battery and status of the vacuum, as well as if it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this vacuum is compatible with Alexa. You can turn this vacuum on and off using the simple voice command and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only downside we could find with this vacuum is that it takes longer to charge than the other models we've reviewed, and the two included hand vac attachments aren't able to fit in the base, and they can get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum, this Samsung model also functions as a home monitoring camera. It has a camera that you can access via your phone, and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can set up a schedule to have it monitor your home even when you're away. This is great for pet owners who shed or if you want to watch out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features that include object recognition, home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins and five layers of filtration. It's a great option for those who want an excellent model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but aren't afraid of a little dust on carpets.

This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most impressive features. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. It can either navigate around the object or mark it as a no go zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung a safe choice for your house.

On the contrary this model isn't able to do well with spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice grains on carpets with low pile and sending the robot to clean. The machine did a fairly poor job of moving the rice grains and failed to remove any of them. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models did better in the test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey, especially considering its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that provides the same features at a fraction of the price.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled through the SmartThings app. It is easy to set up using the in-app prompts. The app lets you look at the map, set the cleaning schedules and adjust suction power and select no-go zones and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin needs to be cleaned.

Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every spot in your home gets cleaned, and it has the capability of detecting stairs. It also comes with an remote control that makes it easy to adjust the settings.

Another advantage is that it works using voice commands, which means you can initiate and end the cleaning cycle with an app on your smartphone or tablet.
