It has separate bins for dirt and a mop and vacuuming bin that you fill with water or deebot robot Vacuum Cleaner liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches between vacuuming and mopping modes depending on the contents of its bins.

Utilizing iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction that leaves your floors spotless. This mode also utilizes the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to clear the robot's dirt bin, providing you with 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 clear of pet-related messes. This is an excellent option for pet owners who would like the convenience of robotic vacuums and mops.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with plenty of features at a reasonable price. It has a long-running time and does a fantastic job of cleaning carpeted or bare floors. It's a great app that works well combined with Alexa. However, it isn't equipped with the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of more expensive competitors.

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

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

One of the most appealing aspects about this robot is its easy-to-use interface. You can use the circular cleaning button located at the top of the unit to initiate cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. Once you've done that, the app will inform you of the battery level and status of the vacuum, and also if it's completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this robotic can be controlled by Alexa. It is easy to turn the vacuum off and on with the simple voice command and you can make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a bit longer to charge compared to other models we've reviewed. Also, the two hand vac attachments included don't fit into the base and are easily lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Apart from being a top-rated robotic vacuum in the market, this Samsung model also functions as a camera for home monitoring. It has a lens you can access via your smartphone and is designed to keep an eye on the surroundings around your home. You can even create a schedule of when you want it to be patrolling your home while you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you want to be watching for any criminals.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a premium model that comes with a range of features including object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dust bin and five layers of filtering. It's a good option for those who want an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors, but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.

The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is among its most impressive features. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and detect objects. Then, it either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, making Samsung an ideal choice for your house.

On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at 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 Deebot Robot Vacuum Cleaner (Dnpaint.Co.Kr) did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not remove any of them. This is a disappointing result given that other models have done better in this test.

It's important to note, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality for less. For example, you can find a top-rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for half the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot like other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple using the app's prompts. The app lets you look at the map, create cleaning schedules and suction power settings and select no-go zones and manage other settings. It also shows you the current status of the robot and when the dustbin needs to be empty.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

This all-in-one vacuum could be the ideal solution for those who aren't quite willing to invest in a robot vacuum and a separate mop. This model is available for less than half the price and comes with four 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).

In the past, we've tested this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be very effective on both low-pile and hard floors. Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every area of your home is cleaned, and it has the capability of detecting stairs. It comes with an integrated remote that makes it easy to adjust settings.

It also works with voice commands. You can begin and stop a cleaning process with an app on 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 allow you to save your home's maps and create custom cleaning programs, and manage the machine. Some models have smart mopping pad that can dry between usages. This prevents mildew or bacteria from growing on the floor.
