The most notable are the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ at Walmart with a self-emptying dock and an Amazon bestseller that detects pet poop and avoid stairs and ledges and make cleaning appointments using your smartphone.
1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
The Roomba Combo J5+ is the latest 2-in-1 model in iRobot's premium line that comes with mopping and vacuuming capabilities. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it become smarter over time and creates the Smart Map of your flooring. This allows you to label rooms and create cleaning schedules as well as designate no-mop zones for your carpets. It can see obstacles and objects thanks to the new obstacle avoidance technology of iRobot. It can also detect carpets of any kind, from low-pile up to thick, and adjust the cleaning mode accordingly.
Like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed to be used for both vacuuming and mopping. It has an additional dirt bin as well as an additional mop/vacuuming bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches from vacuuming to mopping mode based on its bin contents.
Using the iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors clean. This mode utilizes the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system to empty the robot's dirt bin, giving you an hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ features a separate power switch that enables users to instantly switch between mopping and cleaning.
It's simple to set up and use your robot using the iRobot Home app. With just a few clicks, you can design a custom cleaning plan for your whole home or a single room. You can also see the status of your robot and monitor it remotely.
You can even make use of your smartphone as an remote control to begin cleaning or allow your voice to control it. The iRobot Combo j5+ is compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. This allows you to connect your smart home devices. It is equipped with pet-safe P.O.O.P technology (Pet owner official promise) which helps it keep away from pet messes. This is a great option for pet owners but would like the convenience of a mop and vacuum combination robot.
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 a great job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It is a great app and is well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors.
This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller which can reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is properly cleaned. It also has bumper sensors to can help avoid collisions, and an lower cliff detector to stop the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms at regular intervals.
While the Shark ION performs very well on bare floors, it does struggle to remove pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It can also get stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions, and has a runtime of 90 minutes.
One of the great things about this robot is its easy-to-use interface. There's a round cleaning button at the top of the device that you can push to begin a cleaning session, or you can use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. Once you've done 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.
Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this robotic works with Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum off and on with a simple voice command, and you can use the app to schedule cleaning times. The only thing we didn't like about this vacuum was that it took a longer to charge when compared to other models we've tested. Also 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 camera for home monitoring. It has a camera that accessible via your phone, and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can set a timer to watch your home when you're away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you need to be watching for any intruders.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a range of features, including object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtration. It's a great option for those looking for an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform 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 utilizes a combination sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and locate objects. Then it either navigates around them or labels them as a zone of no-go on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making the Samsung the best option for your home.
On the other hand this model doesn't perform very well on spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice grains on carpet with a low pile and then sending the robot in to clean. The machine did a fairly poor job of moving the rice grains around, and did not pick up any of them. This is a disappointing test 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 when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality and performance at a lower cost. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features at a fraction of the cost.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with in-app prompts to guide you through the process. The app lets you see the map, set the cleaning schedules, adjust suction power and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin must be emptied.

It's available now for nearly half price and features four different cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty and the mopping tank is able to hold 200 milliliters (7 7 ounces).
We tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab last year, and found that it performed well on hard floors as well as low-pile carpet. Its Matrix Clean Navigation, which uses a grid-like pattern to make sure that you clean every corner of your home, is able to also detect stairs. It also comes with a remote control, which allows you to easily alter the settings.
Another advantage is that it can be used using voice commands, which means you can initiate and end the cleaning cycle with an app on your tablet or phone. The app lets you define a cleaning routine and select a cleaning mode. The robot will return to its charging base after each cleaning session, or when the power is low.
This robotic vac mop is a great choice for busy families. It's currently on sale at more than half of its original price.

robots that vacuum and mop and mops can be used with smartphones applications. These apps allow you to save your home's maps and create custom cleaning programs, and manage your machine.
