Some highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock available at Walmart and an Amazon best-seller that can detect pet poop, stay clear of steps and ledges and even plan cleanings on your smartphone.
1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
The Roomba Combo J5+ is the latest 2-in-1 model from iRobot’s high-end line that comes with mopping and vacuuming capabilities. It runs on iRobot OS which makes it smarter with time and creates the floor map. It allows you to label your rooms, make cleaning schedules, and create no-mop areas for your carpets. It uses vSLAM navigation and can detect obstacles and objects due to iRobot’s brand new obstacle avoidance technology. It can also detect all types of carpets from thin to low-pile, and adjust its cleaning mode accordingly.
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 an additional mop/vacuuming bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or water. The robot automatically switches between mopping and vacuuming modes depending on the contents of its bins.
Using the iRobot’s Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors clean. This mode makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to clean the robot’s dirt bin and provide you with a effortless hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also comes with an individual power button that lets you instantly switch between mopping and vacuuming.
It’s easy to set up and use your robot using the iRobot Home app. You can create a personalized home cleaning schedule in just a few clicks. You can also track your robot remotely and view its progress.
You can make use of your smartphone to begin a cleaning session or even control it using your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This allows you to easily connect your smart home devices. It also is equipped with pet-safe technology P.O.O.P (Pet Owner Official Promise) which assists the robot in steering clear of pet-related mess. This is a great option for pet owners who want the convenience of a robot vacuum and mop.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with a good amount of features for the price. It has a long running time and does a fantastic job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It’s a great app that works well combined with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls that are found in higher-priced competitors.
This robotic vacuum has a powerful motor with a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to ensure your home is clean. It also comes with bumper sensors to prevent collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that will stop the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms on a regular basis.
While the Shark ION is very effective on clean floors but it is unable to clean up pet hair and fine debris 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. There’s a circular cleaning button on the top of the unit that you can press to begin a cleaning session or use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. Once you’ve done that, the app will tell you the current battery level and the status of the vacuum, as well as whether it’s completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Another feature that many customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off using an easy voice command, and you can also utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only thing we didn’t love about this vacuum 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 don’t fit into the base and can easily be lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum This Samsung model also doubles as a camera for home monitoring. It has a lens you can access through your phone and is designed to watch the area around your home robot vacuum (Proactive Fox H 9bhdp Mystrikingly said in a blog post). You can also set up a timer for when you want it to patrol your home while you are away. This is great if you have pets shed or you want to be watching for any criminals.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a range of features like object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dust bin and five layers of filtration. It’s a great option for those who want an excellent vacuum that performs well on hard floors but isn’t afraid of a little dust on carpets.
One of the most impressive attributes of this small robot vacuum is its sophisticated obstacle avoidance. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the environment and find objects. It can either navigate around the object or Home robot Vacuum mark it as a no go zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung the best option for your home.
On the other hand this model isn’t able to do very well at spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered across it. The machine did a fairly poor job of moving the rice grains around, and failed to remove any of them. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models did better in the tests.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance for a lower cost. For example, you can get a top-rated robot vacuum with similar features for half the price of the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
The SmartThings application is used to control this robot, as with other Samsung smart products. The setup process is easy thanks to the in-app prompts. The app lets you look at the map, set cleaning schedules and adjust suction power, select no-go zones, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin needs to be empty.
4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
This all-in-one vacuum is the ideal solution for those who aren’t quite ready to invest in a robot vacuum and separate mop. It’s currently available for half the price and comes with four different cleaning modes. The dust container for the vacuum is easy to empty, and the mopping tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (7 7 ounces).
We tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and found that it performed well on hard floors and carpets with low pile. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every area of your home is cleaned, and it has the ability to recognize stairs. It includes an integrated remote that makes it easy to alter settings.
It also works with voice commands. You can initiate and stop a cycle of cleaning through an app for your phone or tablet. The app also lets you set a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The battery can last for up to 100 minutes, and the robot automatically returns to its base to recharge after each cleaning session, or if the power is depleted.

Most modern robotic mops and vacuums are compatible with smartphones that allow you to save your home’s maps, create customized cleaning schedules and manage the functions of your machine. Some models also have smart mopping pads that can dry in between uses, which helps keep bacteria and mildew from growing on your flooring.
The slim design of the vacuum and mop combination makes it easy to fit into corners and under furniture. Its full suites of sensors can gracefully dodge obstacles and steps. The mopping pad is equipped with triple HEPA filter technology, as well as an application that integrates it. This will prevent dust particles from entering your indoor air.
