A few highlights include the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ with a self-emptying dock available at Walmart and an Amazon bestseller that can spot pet poop, steer clear of steps and ledges, and even make cleaning appointments using your smartphone.

1. iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

The Roomba Combo J5+, the most recent 2-in-1 model in iRobot’s high-end range, has mopping and vacuuming functionality. It's powered by iRobot OS, which helps it become smarter over time and creates an intelligent Map of your flooring. This enables you to name rooms and create cleaning schedules, as well and designate no-mop zones to your carpets. It is able to detect objects and obstacles thanks to the latest obstacle avoidance technology from iRobot. It is also able to detect all carpet types from thin to low-pile, and adjust its cleaning mode according to the type of carpet.

Similar to the iRobot Combo j7+, this model comes with Power-Lifting Suction and is made for vacuuming and mopping. It comes with separate dirt bins and a second mop/vacuuming combo bin that you can fill with liquid cleaner or water. The robot will automatically switch from vacuuming to mopping mode according to the contents of its bin.

Using the iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful suction to keep your floors spotless. This mode uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system to empty the dirt bin of the robot which gives you a effortless hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ features a separate power switch that enables users to instantly switch between mopping and cleaning.

The iRobot Home App makes it simple to use and near set up your robot. You can create a customized home cleaning program in just a few clicks. You can also track your robot remotely and check its status.

You can also use 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 also has pet-safe technology P.O.O.P (Pet Owner Official Promise), which assists the robot in steering away from pet mess. This is an excellent option for pet owners looking to enjoy the convenience of robotic vacuums and mops.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with plenty of features for the price. It has a long running time and it is able to clean carpeted floors as well as bare rooms. It also has a useful app that works well with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls you will find in higher-priced competitors.

This robot vacuum features an extremely powerful motor that has a multi-surface brush roll that can penetrate into cracks and corners to make sure your home is spotless. It has bumper sensors that help it avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps keep the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean the room or set of rooms on a regular basis.

While the Shark ION is very effective on bare floors however, it struggles to remove pet hair and fine debris on carpeted areas. It can also get stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions and runs for 90 minutes.

One of the most appealing aspects about this robot is its user-friendly interface. You can either press the round button on the top of the unit to initiate cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your phone and give the command. Once you've done that the app will tell you the level of battery and status of the vacuum as well as whether it has completed a full or partial cleaning session.

Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this vacuum works with Alexa. The vacuum can be turned on and off by simply speaking. You can also set up cleaning times using the app. The only issue we have found with this model is that it takes longer to charge than the other models we've examined, and that the two hand vac attachments aren't able to fit into the base and could get lost pretty easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model isn't just a top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner It also functions as a camera to monitor your home. It comes with a lens is accessible via your phone and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can even create a schedule of when you want it to patrol your home while you are away. This is a great option for pet owners who shed or if you want to keep an eye out for anyone who is sneaking in.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a premium model that comes with a host of features like object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dirt bin and five layers of filtration. It's a great option for those looking for an expensive model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but who don't mind the occasional dust that gets on carpets.

The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is one of its best features. It makes use of sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surroundings and detect objects. Then it either moves around them or marks them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't found on other robots, which makes the Samsung the most secure choice for near your home.

On the other hand this model isn't able to do very well on 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 of moving the rice grains around and did not take any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models did better in the tests.

It's important to note, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a top-rated robot vacuum that offers similar features for half the cost.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with the app prompts that guide you through the process. The app lets you see the map, design cleaning schedules, modify suction, select no-go areas and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dust bin needs to be emptied.
