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's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it to become more intelligent over time and creates an intelligent Map of your floors. This allows you to label rooms and create cleaning schedules as well and designate no-mop zones to your carpets. It can detect obstacles and objects thanks to iRobot’s new obstacle avoidance tech. It can also detect all carpet types that range from thin to low-pile and then adjust its cleaning mode to suit.

The model, just like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed to be used for both vacuuming as well as mopping. It has separate bins for dirt and a mop and vacuuming bin that you fill with water or a liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch from vacuuming to mopping mode depending on the contents of the bin.

The Roomba Combo j5+ uses the iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode to deliver powerful dust suction, leaving your floors sparkling clean. This mode also makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal feature to clean the robot's dirty bin, providing you with an unrestricted experience. The Combo j5+ has a dedicated power switch that enables you to switch instantly between mopping and cleaning.

It's easy to set up and use your robot with the iRobot Home app. With a few taps, you can design a custom cleaning schedule for your entire home or a single room. You can also monitor your robot remotely and view its progress.

You can also use your smartphone as a remote control to start cleaning or let your voice command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This allows you to easily connect your smart home devices. It is equipped with the pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner's official promise), which helps it steer clear of pet mess. This is a great option for pet owners looking to enjoy the convenience of a robot vacuum and mop.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model with lots of features. It has a long-running time and does an excellent job of cleaning carpeted and unfinished floors. It is a great app that works well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. However, it lacks the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum has an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can reach into cracks and corners to ensure your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to can help avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps stop the robot from falling. It is also programmed to run a single room or a set of rooms at scheduled intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning that had been stopped midway through.

While the Shark ION performs very well on floors that are clean 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 can run for up to 90 minutes.

The user interface that this robot has is among its most appealing features. There's a circular cleaning button located on the top of the device that you can press to start a cleaning session or utilize your phone to open the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. The app will inform you how much battery is left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also inform you if the cleaning process has been completed or not.

Another thing that a lot of customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. The vacuum can be switched off and on with a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times using the app. The only thing we didn't love about this robot was that it took a little bit longer to charge as compared to other models that we've looked at. Additionally the two hand vac attachments do not fit into the base and are easily lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum This Samsung model also functions as a home surveillance camera. It has a lens that you can access via your phone and is designed to watch the surrounding area of your home. You can set a schedule to have it patrol your home while you are gone. This is especially useful if you have pets that shed or if you want to watch out for anyone sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a range of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust, and five layers filtering. It's an excellent option for those looking for an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors, but doesn't mind a bit of dust on carpets.

One of the most impressive attributes of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It makes use of a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. Then it either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung an ideal option for your home.

On the other hand, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice particles on carpets with low pile and sending the robot in to clean. The machine did a fairly poor job at pushing the rice grains and failed to remove any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for a lower cost. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a highly rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for half the cost.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot as well as other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple with the help of the in-app prompts. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, select no-go areas and also manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot as well as when the dustbin needs to be empty.

It's on sale for half the price and comes with four different cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty and the mopping tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (7 7 ounces).

In the last year, we tried this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely efficient on low-pile as well as hard floors. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which uses a grid-like pattern to make sure that you clean every corner of your home, can also detect stairs. It also comes with a remote control, which allows you to easily adjust the settings.

It also works with voice commands. You can start and stop a cycle of cleaning by using an app for your tablet or phone. The app lets you 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 house, create customized cleaning programs, and control the machine.

The slim design of the vacuum and mop combination allows it to be tucked away in corners and under furniture. Its full suites of sensors can also effortlessly avoid obstacles and stairs.
