Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos While robots won't be able to replace a conventional vacuum for picking up ground-in debris like metal screws or chunks of orzo pasta, they are excellent at sweeping crumbs, dust and hair from pets. The best models have intelligent navigation and a feature to avoid objects which allow them to navigate around toys, cords and other household obstacles. 1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO The iRobot Roomba i3+ is an excellent robot vacuum that has several smart features that make it easier to maintain. The automatic bin emptying feature is one of the most impressive features we've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's great on carpets and hard floors. It's also simple to set up and use and the app will guide you through the process step-by-step. Another notable feature is the ability to go back to where it began in our tests. It did this for 77 minutes on one cleaning, before running out of battery. Contrary to other robovacs we've tested, the i3+ EVO has an automatic emptying bin that dumps debris into an external dirt compartment on its charging base when it's filled. This helps reduce the need for hands-on maintenance and also helps prevent the i3+ EVO from overfilling, but it still requires manually cleaned after each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dust bin can hold 2.4L, which will last for four to five cleaning sessions. This model, like the i7, utilizes state-of-the-art floor-tracking sensors to create maps. It also allows you to navigate in neat rows. However, the i3+ EVO only stores a single map while the i7 can store multiple. The i7 can also use its map to create no-go zones as well as virtual barriers, however the i3+ EVO cannot. The i3+ EVO does a better job of removing surface debris in comparison to other robovacs we've examined, but it's not the most effective in cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture, despite being remarkably silent. It was a bit rough on furniture as it forced chairs away. It also made some collisions against the sides of the bed. 2. Black & Decker Pro Q5 The Q5 Pro is an excellent option, whether you're expanding your robot vacuum collection, or just getting started. It offers a sleek design with a powerful navigation system, as well as efficient automation at a low price. It's the best pound-for-pound model available today and even beats some of Roborock's more expensive models in several ways. This robot is fantastic at cleaning floors that are not clean and its avoidance technology assists it in staying clear of furniture legs or other obstacles. It also does well on carpets and gets an excellent score in our tests of navigation. The only issue is that it's more noisy than other models and doesn't do better in our user-satisfaction and predicted reliability assessments. The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin that is 770ml, meaning that you won't have to empty it as often as other 2-in-1 robots. self vacuum -minute run time is also generous when compared to other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. If the battery is empty it goes back to its dock and automatically recharges before resuming cleaning where it left off. You can control the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is among the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. That, combined with some other advancements, allows it to excel during our mopping and vacuuming tests. It allows you to schedule cleaning times, set no-go zones, and view the battery's condition, among other things. The app is easy to use, however it doesn't support Apple HomeKit. That feature is scheduled to be added in 2025. As of early November, Apple has updated a footnote on its website to reflect that the feature will be delayed until 2025. HomeKit is not compatible with several other robots, however Siri Shortcuts are. 3. TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus The TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus robot vacuum cleaner is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a robot that can mop as well and is priced reasonably. It features a sleek design and a lot of amazing features for the money. It is possible to control the device with different buttons on the machine or through the app, and even use voice commands.

It comes with a replacement mopping cloth and sweeping brush as well as an HEPA filter. It can be used with a smart hub like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to allow voice control. The TP-Link RV30 Plus can be quickly set up and can be connected to different flooring surfaces using the automatic mode. This assures that the optimal results are achieved in every room and floor. You can select three cleaning modes that will meet your needs. The vacuuming mode makes use of the smart sensor for detection of obstacles like stairs, furniture and edges. The mopping mode is utilized to clean the floor automatically or to remove the stubborn stains and liquid spills. A third option allows you to combine both features for a thorough and thorough cleaning. With a powerful suction and 3 settings for dry mopping, the TP-Link RV30 Plus quickly picks up pet hair, dust, crumbs and other particles from all types of flooring. The device can even clean carpets without damaging them due to the specially designed mop. During the first mapping session, the TP-Link RV30 Plus scans and saves the layout of your home by using its LiDAR and Gyro dual navigation system. The map can be edited using the app and you can combine or split rooms as you like. You can also set up virtual walls and no-go zones to stop the RV30 Plus from entering areas that you don't want it to enter. 4. Eufy iMop The Eufy iMop robot vacuum and mop is one of best fully-featured robots for hard flooring. It features a high-tech navigation system that does an excellent job of mapping your home, even across multiple floors. The base station is well-designed and can automate cleaning to a great extent.

It can also be programmed to follow a specific direction. This is ideal for narrow stairs or hallways. In our carpet cleaning test, it was successful in cleaning carpets. However, it struggled to clean rugs and carpets with thick piles. It is also able to automatically raise the mop pad when it encounters carpet, which is a fantastic option if you wish to avoid mowing your carpets. The iMop includes an onboard dust bin and water tank that empties at the end each cleaning session. The dust bin onboard can hold up to 2.5 liters and only needs to be cleaned every two cleaning cycles. The water tank can withstand up to a dozen mopping cycles before it is dry.
