Like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed to be used for both vacuuming as well as mopping. It comes with an additional bin for dirt and a mop and vacuuming bin that you fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot is able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bins.

Using iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors clean. This mode also makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to clear the robot's dirt bin, allowing you to enjoy the freedom to move your hands.

It also has pet-safe technology P.O.O.P (Pet Owner Official Promise), which assists the robot in steering away from pet mess. This is an excellent choice for pet owners 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 lots of features. It has a long run time and does a good job cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It has a good app that works well combined with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map and other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll to reach into cracks and corners to make sure your home is clean. It comes with bumper sensors that help it avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps prevent the robot from falling. It can even be programmed to operate a single room or set of rooms at regular intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning sessions that it stopped halfway through.

While the Shark ION is very effective on clean floors but it is unable to pick up pet hair and fine debris on carpeted areas. It also gets stuck under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles and it has a runtime of up to 90 minutes.

One of the best things about this robot is its user-friendly interface. There's a round cleaning button located on the top of the unit that you can press to start cleaning, or you can use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. After you've completed that, the app will inform you of the battery level and 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 off and on with an easy voice command, and you can make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The one thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a little more time to charge in comparison to other models we've tested. Additionally the two hand vac attachments don't fit into the base and are easily lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

In addition to being a top robot vacuum cleaner rated robot vacuum in the market, this Samsung model can also be used as a camera for home monitoring. It comes with a lens that accessible via your phone and is designed to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can also set up a timer for when you want it to be patrolling the house while you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you wish to be on the lookout for any intruders.

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 good option for those looking for an excellent vacuum that performs well on hard floors, but does not mind a little dust on carpets.

The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is among its most impressive features. It uses sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surroundings and identify items. It can either navigate around the object or declares it an unfriendly zone on the map. This feature isn't found on many other robots and makes the Samsung an extremely safe option for your home.

This model isn't very efficient in spot cleaning. We sent the robot to clean a low-pile carpet that had rice grains scattered across it. The robot was unable pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing result, given that other models did better in the tests.

It's also worth noting, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance, is a top-rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for half the cost.

The SmartThings application is used to control the robot, as well as other Samsung smart products. The process of setting up is simple with prompts in the app to guide you through the process. The app lets you view the map, set cleaning schedules, adjust suction power and select no-go zones and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin needs to be empty.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo

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).

We tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and found that it performed well on hard floors and low-pile carpet. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which uses a grid-like pattern to clean every corner of your home, can also recognize stairs. It also comes with an remote control that allows you to easily adjust the settings.

It can also be controlled by voice. You can initiate and stop a cleaning process by using an app for your phone or tablet. The app allows you to define a cleaning routine and select a cleaning mode.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops can be used with smartphone applications. These apps let you save maps of your home and create custom cleaning programs, and manage the machine. Certain models have a smart mopping pads that dry between uses. This helps prevent mildew or bacteria from growing on the floor.

The compact design of the vacuum-mop combination allows it to fit into corners and under furniture, while its full range of sensors effortlessly eliminates obstacles and stairs.
