The Roomba Combo J5+ is the most recent 2-in-1 model in iRobot's premium line and comes with both vacuuming and mopping functionality. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it to become more intelligent over time and creates the Smart Map of your flooring.

It can also detect all types of carpets, from low-pile to thick and then adjust its cleaning mode to suit.
Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model comes with Power-Lifting Suction and is made for mopping and vacuuming. It has separate bins for dirt, and a combo mop/vacuuming bin that you fill with water or a liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode depending on the contents of the bin.
Utilizing the iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction that leaves your floors spotless. This mode also makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to clear the robot's dirt bin, giving you an unrestricted experience.

This is a great option for pet owners who would like 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 lots of features. It has a long running time and does a fantastic job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It is a great app and works well when used with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map and other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller that can reach into corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It has bumper sensors that help it avoid collisions, and a lower cliff detector to stop the robot from falling. It can even be programmed to operate a single room or a set of rooms in scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions that it stopped halfway through.
The Shark ION is very good in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it has a difficult time to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets caught in furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions and runs for 90 minutes.
One of the best things about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. You can use the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to start cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. Once you've done that the app will inform you of the level of battery and status of the vacuum and also if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.
Many customers also loved the fact that this robotic is compatible with Alexa. You can easily turn this vacuum off and on with the simple voice command and you can also make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The one thing we didn't like about this robot was that it took a bit longer to charge in comparison to other models we've reviewed. Also, the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit in the base and can easily be lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model also doubles as a home monitoring camera. It has a lens accessible via your smartphone, and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can create a timer to watch your home while you are gone. This is perfect if your pets shed or you wish to watch for any intrusions.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a range of features that include object recognition, home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust and five layers of filtering. It's a good option for those who want an excellent vacuum that performs well on hard floors, but does not mind a little dust on carpets.
The robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most effective features. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and detect objects. It can either navigate around the object or marks it as an area that is not allowed on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, making the Samsung a safe option for your home.
This model isn't very adept at spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered over it. The robot was unable move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing outcome considering that other models did better in the test.
It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a highly rated robotic vacuum that provides the same features at half the price.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled by the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy with in-app prompts to guide you through it. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules and suction power settings, select no-go zones, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin must be cleaned.

It's on sale 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 discovered that it was able to perform well on hard floors as well as carpets with low pile. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every spot in your home gets cleaned, and it also has the capability of detecting stairs. It also comes with a remote control, which allows you to easily adjust the settings.
Another advantage is that it can be used using voice commands, which means you can begin and stop the cleaning process with an app on your phone or tablet. The app also allows you to create a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The robot will return to its charging base after every cleaning session, or when power is low.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops can be used with smartphones and apps. These applications allow you to save your home's maps as well as create customized cleaning programs, and even control your machine. Certain models have a smart mopping pads that dry between uses. This helps prevent mildew or bacteria from growing on the floor.
The slim design of the vacuum-mop combination makes it easy to fit into corners and under furniture. Its full suites of sensors also gracefully avoid obstacles and stairs. The mopping pad is equipped with triple HEPA filtering technology and an app that integrates it. This prevents dust particles from getting into the air in your home.
