It has an additional bin for dirt, and a combo mop/vacuuming bin that you fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot is able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes according to the contents of its bins.
Using iRobot's Enhanced MVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction to get your floors spotless.

This is an excellent option for pet owners who want the convenience of a robot vacuum and mop.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with an impressive amount of features for the money. It offers a long-lasting run time and it is able to clean carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. 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 the more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum is equipped with a powerful motor and a multi-surface brush roller to get into the corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions and the lower cliff sensor will stop the robot from falling down stairs. It can even be programmed to run a single room or a group of rooms at regular intervals. It is also capable of resuming cleaning sessions it stopped halfway through.
While the Shark ION performs admirably on bare floors, it does struggle to clean up pet hair and other small particles on carpeted areas. It also gets stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions and runs for 90 minutes.
One of the best things about this robot is its user-friendly interface. There is a round cleaning button located on the top of the device that you can push to begin cleaning or use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice-command. The app will tell you how much battery is left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also inform you whether the cleaning session has been completed or not.
Many customers also liked the fact that this robot works with Alexa. The vacuum can be switched off and on with a simple voice command. You can also schedule cleaning times by using the app. The one thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a little bit longer to charge as compared to other models that 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+
This Samsung model is not only an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera to monitor your home. It has a camera that which you can access through your smartphone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can set up a schedule to have it monitor your home even when you're away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you want to be watching 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 filtration. It's a good option for those looking for an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors but doesn't mind a bit of dust on carpets.
This robot's advanced obstacle avoidance is among its most effective features. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the environment and identify items. It can either navigate around the object or mark it as a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't found on many other robots and makes the Samsung the most secure choice for your home.
On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice particles on carpet with a low pile and then sending the robot in to clean. The machine did a poor job at pushing the rice grains around, and did not remove any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models have done better in this test.
It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a top-rated robot vacuum that provides the same features at half the cost.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled via the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy using the app's instructions. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, modify suction, set no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dustbin needs to be cleaned.

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. vacuum robot mop uses a grid pattern to ensure every spot in your home gets cleaned and has the capability of detecting stairs. It also has 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 initiate and end the cleaning cycle through an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app lets you set an agenda for cleaning and select the cleaning mode. The battery runs for 100 minutes, and the robot automatically returns to its base to recharge after every cleaning session or when the power is depleted.
