1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo J5+ is the most recent 2-in-1 model from iRobot's top-of-the-line line that comes with vacuuming and mopping functionality. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it become smarter over time and creates the Smart Map of your flooring. This lets you name rooms and create cleaning schedules, as and designate no-mop zones to your carpets. It is able to detect obstacles and objects thanks to the latest obstacle avoidance technology from iRobot. It can also detect carpets of any kind, from low-pile up to thick and adjust the cleaning mode accordingly.

This model, like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed to be used for both vacuuming and mopping. It has a separate dirt bin and a second mop/vacuuming combo bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bin.

The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot’s Enhanced mVac Mode to provide powerful dust suction that leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt collection system to empty the robot's dirt bin which gives you a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ comes with an individual power switch that allows you to switch instantly between mopping and cleaning.

The iRobot Home App makes it easy to use and set up your robot. With just a few taps you can create a personalized cleaning plan for your whole home or just one room. You can also check your robot's progress and monitor it remotely.

You can make use of your smartphone as remote control to initiate cleaning, or you can let your voice command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, making it easier to pair with your existing smart home devices. It comes with pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner official promise) which helps avoid pet messes. This is an excellent choice for those who have pets but would like 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 price. It has a long running time and it does a good job cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It also comes with a useful app that works well with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors.

This robot vacuum features a powerful motor with multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is truly clean. It also has bumper sensors to can help avoid collisions, and a lower cliff detector to keep the robot from falling. It can also be programmed to run a single room or a group of rooms at regular intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions had been stopped midway through.

The Shark ION is extremely effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it struggles to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.

One of the most appealing aspects about this robot is its easy-to-use interface. There's a circular cleaning button at the top of the unit that you can push to begin a cleaning session or use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. The app will then tell you how much battery left and the status of the vacuum. It will also tell you if the cleaning session is complete or not.

Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this vacuum works with Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum off and on with the simple voice command and you can also use the app to schedule cleaning times. The only issue we could find with this vacuum is that it takes longer to charge than the other models we've reviewed, and the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit inside the base, and they can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model isn't just the top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It comes with a lens that accessible via your phone and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can set up a timer to watch your home when you are gone. This is great if you have pets that shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ comes with a number of features such as object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins and five layers of filtering. It's a great choice for those looking for a premium model that can clean hard floors, but aren't afraid of the occasional dust that gets on carpets.

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most impressive features. It utilizes a combination sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and locate objects. It can either navigate around the object or marks it as an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making Samsung the best option for your home.

On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet with rice grains scattered across it. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models have done better in this test.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance for less. For instance, you can purchase a top-rated robot vacuum with the same features for half the price of the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled by the SmartThings app. Setup is simple thanks to in-app prompts. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, modify suction, set no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin needs to be emptied.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo

This all-in-one vacuum could be the perfect solution for those who aren't quite willing to invest in a robot vacuum and separate mop. It's available for less than half the price and has four 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 ounces).

In the last year, we tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely efficient on both low-pile and hard floors. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which uses a grid-like pattern to cleanse every corner of your home, can also recognize stairs. It includes an integrated remote that makes it easy to adjust settings.

It can also be controlled by voice. You can begin and stop a cycle of cleaning by using an app for your tablet or phone. The app allows you to create an agenda for cleaning and select the cleaning mode. The battery lasts for 100 minutes and the robot then returns to its base to recharge after each cleaning session or when the power is depleted.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with smartphones and apps. These apps allow you to save maps of your home, create customized cleaning programs, and manage your machine. Certain models have a smart mopping pads that can dry between usages. This helps prevent mold or bacteria from growing on the floor.

The slim design of the vacuum-mop unit allows it to be tucked into corners and under furniture, while its full range of sensors effortlessly avoids obstacles and stairs. The mopping pad is fitted with triple HEPA filtering technology and an application that integrates it. This prevents dust particles from getting into the air in your home.
