1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo j5+, the latest 2-in-1 model in iRobot’s high-end range, comes with both mopping and vacuuming functionality.

It also can detect carpets of all types, from low-pile up to thick and alter the cleaning mode in line with the carpet.

Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model features Power-Lifting Suction and is made for vacuuming and mopping. It comes with a separate bin for dirt, and a mop and vacuuming bin that you fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches between mopping and vacuuming modes depending on the contents of the bin.

The Roomba Combo j5+ uses the iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode to provide powerful dust suction, which leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt collection system to empty the robot's dirt bin which gives you a unrestricted hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also comes with a dedicated power button that lets you immediately switch between mopping and vacuuming.

It's easy to set-up and use your robot with the iRobot Home app. With a few taps, you can create a personalized cleaning schedule for your entire home or just one room. You can also monitor your robot from afar and see its current status.

You can use your smartphone to start cleaning or control it using your voice. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant.

This is an excellent 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, but it comes with a lot of features. It has a long running time and does a fantastic job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It also comes with a helpful app that is compatible 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 powerful motors and a multi-surface brush roll that can penetrate into cracks and corners to ensure that your home is spotless. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms on a regular basis.

While the Shark ION performs admirably on clean floors however, it struggles to pick up pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles, and it has a long runtime of up to 90 minutes.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is one of its best combo vacuum mop Robot features. There's a circular cleaning button on the top of the unit, which you can press to start the cleaning process, or you can make use of your smartphone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. The app will tell you how much battery remaining and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session is complete or not.

Many customers also liked the fact that this robot can be controlled by Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum on and off with a simple voice command, and you can utilize the app to set up cleaning times. The only issue we could find with this vacuum is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models we've looked at, and the two hand vac attachments don't fit inside the base and could be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model isn't just a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner It also functions as a camera for monitoring your home. It has a lens that you can access via your phone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can even create a schedule of when you would like it to monitor the house while you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you need to watch for any criminals.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtration. It's an excellent choice for those looking for an expensive model that is able to clean hard floors, but don't mind some dust on carpets.

The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most impressive features. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and find objects. Then, it either moves around them or marks them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making Samsung an ideal option for your home.

On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice grains across low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The machine did a poor job of moving the rice grains around and failed to pick up any of them. This is a disappointing result, given that other models did better in the test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a highly rated robotic vacuum that offers the same features at half the cost.

As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled by the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with prompts in the app to guide you through the process. The app allows you to see the map, design cleaning schedules, adjust suction, set no-go areas and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin needs to be emptied.

It's currently available for half price and features 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 ounces).

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

It also works with voice commands. You can begin and stop a cleaning process with an app on your tablet or phone. The app also lets you set an agenda for cleaning and select the cleaning mode.
