The most notable are the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ at Walmart with a self emptying dock and an Amazon bestseller that can detect pet poop, and prevent stairs and ledges and schedule cleanings using your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo j5+ is the newest 2-in-1 model in iRobot's premium line that comes with mopping and vacuuming features. It is powered by iRobot OS which makes it more efficient and smarter as time passes. It also creates an outline of your floors.

It is able to detect obstacles and objects thanks to the latest obstacle avoidance technology from iRobot. It can also detect all carpet types that range from thin to low-pile and alter its cleaning mode to suit.

The model, just like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed for vacuuming as well as mopping. It has separate bins for dirt and a second mop/vacuuming bin you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches from vacuuming to mopping mode according to the contents of its bin.

Utilizing iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction that leaves your floors clean. This mode utilizes the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal to clean the robot's dirt bin which gives you a unrestricted hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ also comes with an individual power button that lets you instantly switch between vacuuming and mopping.

The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and set up your robot. You can design a custom home cleaning schedule in just a few clicks. You can also see your robot's status and monitor it remotely.

You can make use of your smartphone as a remote control to start a cleaning session, or you can use your voice to command it. The iRobot Combo j5+ supports Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, making it easier to pair with your existing 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 anyone who has pets but wants the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with a good amount of features for the money. It offers a long-lasting run time and does a good job cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. However, it does not have the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls that are offered by more expensive competitors.

This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller which can get into the corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as the lower cliff sensor will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It is also programmed to run a single room or set of rooms at regular intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning sessions that had been stopped midway through.

The Shark ION is very effective in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it is unable to get rid of pet hairs and debris from carpeted surfaces. It can also get caught under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.

The user interface that this robot has is one of its best features. There's a round cleaning button at the top of the unit that you can press to begin a cleaning session, 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 is left and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session is complete or not.

Another thing that many people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. The vacuum can be turned off and on by simply speaking. You can also schedule cleaning times with the app. The only negative that we have found with this model is that it takes a little longer to charge than some of the other models that we've examined, and that the two included hand vac attachments can't fit in the base and can get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not only an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It has a camera that accessible via your phone and is built to monitor the surroundings of your home. You can even create a schedule of when you want it to be patrolling your home while you are away. This is great if you have pets shed or you need to be on the lookout for any intrusions.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a host of features like object recognition and home monitoring, a self-emptying dirt bin and five layers of filtration. It's an excellent option for those looking for an excellent vacuum that performs well on hard floors but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.

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

This model is not very adept in spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet with rice grains scattered on it. The machine did a poor job at pushing the rice grains around, and failed to pick up any of them. This is a sour result in light of the fact that other models did better in the test.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a highly rated robotic vacuum that offers the same features at half the price.

The SmartThings application is used to control this robot like other Samsung smart products. Setup is simple with the help of in-app prompts. The app allows you to view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, set no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your i robot vacuum and lets you know when the dust bin needs to be emptied.

4. Manvins Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo

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

In the past, we've tested this robot in the Cleaning Lab and found it to be very efficient on both low-pile and hard floors. 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 recognize stairs. It also comes with an remote control that allows you to easily adjust the settings.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops work with smartphone applications. These applications allow you to save maps of your home as well as create customized cleaning programs, and manage your machine. Certain models have a smart mopping pad that can dry between uses. This can prevent mildew or bacteria from growing on the floor.

The vacuum-mop combo's slim design allows it to be tucked into corners and under furniture, while its full suite of sensors gracefully keeps away from obstacles and steps. The mopping pad comes with triple HEPA filter technology and an app that integrates it. This prevents dust particles from getting into the air in your home.
