It comes with separate dirt bins and another mop/vacuuming combination bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or water. The robot is able to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes based on the contents of its bins. Using the iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction that leaves your floors spotless. This mode utilizes the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to empty the dirt bin of the robot, giving you an hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also has an individual power button that lets you immediately switch between mopping and vacuuming. The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and set up your robot.

This is a great choice for those who have pets but prefers the convenience of a mop and vacuum combination robot. 2. Shark ION The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with an impressive amount of features for the money. It offers a long-lasting run time and it does a great job of cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It has a good app and is well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls that are found in higher-priced competitors. This robot vacuum features an extremely powerful motor that has multi-surface brush rolls that get into corners and cracks to ensure that your home is clean. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as a lower cliff sensor that will stop the robot from falling down the stairs. It can also be programmed to operate a single room or a group of rooms at scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions had been stopped midway through. While the Shark ION performs very well on bare floors, it does struggle to remove pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It also gets caught in furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles, and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes. This robot's easy-to-use user interface is one of its best features. You can either press the circular cleaning button located 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 inform you of the current battery level and the status of the vacuum and also if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session. Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this robot can be controlled by Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum on and off with an easy voice command, and you can use the app to schedule cleaning times. The only thing we didn't love about this model was that it took a little longer to charge when in comparison to other models we've reviewed. Additionally the two hand vac attachments included aren't able to fit in the base and can easily be lost. 3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model also doubles as a home monitoring camera. It has a camera that accessible via your smartphone, and is designed to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can set a timer to watch your home even when you are gone. This is great if you have pets shed or you need to be watching for any criminals. Samsung Jet Bot AI+ comes with a number of features that include object recognition home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust, and five layers filtering. It's a great option for those looking for an excellent model that is able to clean hard floors, but who don't mind some dust on carpets. One of the best characteristics of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making Samsung a safe choice for your home. On the other hand, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice particles on carpet with a low pile and then sending the robot to clean. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have performed better in this test. It's important to note, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. For instance, you can purchase a top-rated robot vacuum with similar features for half the cost with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid. As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled via the SmartThings app. It is easy to set up thanks to the in-app prompts. The app allows you to look at the map, make cleaning schedules, modify suction, select no-go areas and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot and when the dustbin needs to be empty. 4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo If you're not ready to make the commitment to an individual robot vacuum and separate mop, this one-stop model might be what you need. It's currently available for half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The dust bin for the vacuum is easy to empty and the mopping water tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (or 7 pounds). In the last year, we tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely effective on both low-pile and hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure that every area of your home is cleaned, and it also has the capability of detecting stairs. It has an adjustable remote that makes it simple to change settings. It can also be controlled by voice. You can start and stop a cleaning cycle with an app on your tablet or phone. The app allows you to create a cleaning schedule and select a cleaning mode. The robot will return to its charging base after each cleaning session, or when power is not available. This robot vacuum is a top option for busy families and it's currently priced at a discount of more than 50% off its original price. It has a 4.5-star score from customers and has an intelligent cleaning system that employs a a 3-step cleaning process to ensure that your home is clean. It is able to detect pet hair and dander so it is an excellent choice for families with pets. Modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with smartphone applications. These apps allow you to save your home's maps and create custom cleaning programs, and even control the machine. Some models also come with smart mopping pads that can dry between uses, which can help keep bacteria and mildew from growing on your floor. The compact design of the vacuum-mop combination allows it to be tucked into corners and under furniture, while its complete collection of sensors seamlessly avoids obstacles and stairs. The mopping pad is equipped with triple HEPA filter technology and an application that integrates it. This will prevent dust particles from entering your indoor air.
