1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
The Roomba Combo j5+, the most recent 2-in-1 model in iRobot’s high-end range, includes both vacuuming and mopping features. It’s powered by iRobot OS, which helps it to become more intelligent over time and creates an intelligent Map of your flooring.

It is able to detect objects and obstacles thanks to the latest obstacle avoidance technology from iRobot. It also can detect all carpet types that range from thin to low-pile, and adjust its cleaning mode according to the type of carpet.
This model, like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed for both vacuuming and mopping. It comes with an additional bin for dirt and a combo mop/vacuuming bin that you fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch from vacuuming to mopping mode depending on the contents of the bin.
Utilizing iRobot’s Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful suction to keep your floors clean. This mode utilizes the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to clean the robot’s dirt bin which gives you a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also has a separate power button that allows you to instantly switch between vacuuming and mopping.

This is a great choice for anyone who has pets but would like the convenience of a vacuum and mop combination robot.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with a lot of features. It has a long-running time and does a great job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It’s a great app that works well combined with Alexa. It isn’t equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors.
This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor with a multi-surface brush roll that can get into corners and cracks to make sure your home is truly clean. It has bumper sensors that can help avoid collisions, and an lower cliff detector to prevent the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean rooms or sets of rooms on a regular basis.
While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean but it is unable to pick up pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It can also get stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and has a runtime of 90 minutes.
The user interface that this robot has is among its most appealing features. You can use the round button on the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. The app will then tell you how much battery left and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session is complete or not.
Another feature that many people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off with a simple voice command, and you can make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only thing we didn’t love about this robot was that it took a little longer to charge when compared to other models we’ve looked at. Additionally the two hand vac attachments included aren’t able to fit in the base and are easily lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum This Samsung model can also be used as a home surveillance camera. It comes with a lens that accessible via your smartphone and is built to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can also set up a schedule for when you want it to patrol the home when you are away. This is especially useful if you have pets that shed or you want to watch out for anyone sneaking in.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a premium model that comes with a range of features including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-emptying dirt bin and five layers of filtering. It’s an excellent choice for those who want an excellent model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but who don’t mind the occasional dust that gets on carpets.
One of the best smart vacuum And mop combo features of this robot is its advanced obstacle avoidance. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and locate 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, making the Samsung the best choice for your home.
This model is not very adept at spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The machine was unable to take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result given that other models have performed better in this test.
It’s important to note, too that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be quite expensive when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a highly rated robotic vacuum that has the same features at a fraction of the cost.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy using the in-app instructions. The app lets you see the map, design cleaning schedules, modify suction, set no-go areas and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dust bin needs to be empty.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops can be used with smartphones and apps. These apps allow you to save maps of your home as well as create customized cleaning programs, and even control the machine.
