1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo J5+ is the most recent 2-in-1 model in iRobot's premium line and comes with both vacuuming and mopping functionality.

It has an additional dirt bin as well as a second mop/vacuuming combo bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches between mopping and vacuuming modes depending on the contents of the bin.

The Roomba Combo j5+ uses the iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode to provide powerful dust suction that leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode also makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal feature to empty the robot's dirty bin, giving you the freedom to move your hands.

This is a great option for anyone who has pets but would like the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with a good amount of features for the price. It is able to run for a long time and does a fantastic job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls found in higher-priced competitors.

This robotic vacuum has powerful motors and a multi-surface brush roll to get into corners and cracks to ensure your home is truly clean. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions and the lower cliff sensor stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms at regular intervals.

The Shark ION is very effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it has a difficult time to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It is also prone to getting caught in furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions and can run for up to 90 minutes.

One of the best things about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. You can either use the round button on the top of the unit to initiate cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your phone and give the command. After you've completed that, the app will tell you the level of battery and status of the vacuum, as well as if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Another thing that a lot of people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum on and off using an easy voice command, and you can make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only negative that we could find with this vacuum is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models that we've looked at, and the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit inside the base and can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not just a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera for monitoring your home. It has a lens that is accessible via your smartphone and is designed to monitor the surroundings around your home. You can create a schedule to have it monitor your home when you're away. This is great for pet owners who shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a top-quality model that comes with a host of features including object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dirt bin, and five layers of filtering. It's a good choice for people who want a premium vacuum that excels on hard floors but does not mind a little dust on carpets.

This robot vacuum that vacuums and mops's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most effective features. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and find objects. It then either moves around them or marks them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature isn't found on many other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe choice for your home.

On the contrary this model isn't able to do very well at spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The machine did a poor job of pushing the rice grains and failed to take any of them. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar quality for less. For instance, you can find a top-rated robotic vacuum with the same features for half the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy thanks to the in-app prompts. The app lets you 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 and lets you see when the dust bin needs to be cleaned.

It's currently available for half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The dust container for the vacuum is easy to empty and the mopping tank is able to hold 200 milliliters (7 8 ounces).

In the past, we've tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely efficient on both low-pile and hard floors. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which utilizes a grid-like design to cleanse every corner of your home, is able to also detect stairs. It also comes with an remote control that allows you to easily alter the settings.

It also works with voice commands. You can begin and stop a cleaning cycle through an app for your phone or tablet. The app lets you create a cleaning schedule and select a cleaning mode.

Most modern robotic mops and vacuums are compatible with mobile apps that allow you to save your home's maps and create custom cleaning schedules and control the functions of the machine.

The slim design of the vacuum and mop combination enables it to fit into corners and under furniture. Its complete suite of sensors also gracefully avoid obstacles and steps.
