Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

While robots aren't able to substitute for a conventional vacuum for picking up dirt-in particles like metal screws and pieces of orzo pasta, they are excellent at sweeping crumbs, dust and pet hair. The best models have intelligent navigation technology and object avoidance capabilities that allow them to maneuver around cords, toys and other obstacles in the household.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ is a fantastic robot vacuum with many smart features that make it easier to maintain. Its automatic bin emptying is among the most convenient features we've seen on an iRobot, and it works well with hard floors as well as carpets. The app walks you through the entire process. It's also easy to use and set up. Its ability to restart where it left off in our tests is an additional impressive feature. It could do this for 77 minute on one cleaning before the battery died.

The i3+ EVO is different from the other robot vacuums that we tested has a self emptying bin that automatically dumps debris in an external dirt container on its charging base once it is full. The i3+ EVO can be prevented from overfilling thanks to a self-emptying container. However it must be manually emptied at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L that is enough to last four to five cleaning sessions.

Similar to the i7, this model uses state-of-the-art floor sensors to create maps and navigate neat rows. However, the i3+ EVO only stores a single map while the i7 can store multiple. The i7 also has the ability to utilize its map to create no-go zones as well as virtual barriers, however the i3+ EVO cannot.

The i3+ EVO is more effective of removing surface debris when compared to other robovacs we've reviewed, but it is not the most effective in cleaning edges and corners. It's also more abrasive on furniture, despite being fairly quiet. It was quite rough on furniture as it pushed chairs away. It also made some collisions against the sides of the test bed.

2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro

The Q5 Pro is an excellent choice for expanding your robot vacuum collection, or just getting started. It packs serious power, smart navigation, and handy automation into a slick design at an affordable price. It's the best Robot vacuum for large House model for the money you can get right now, and it even matches other Roborock models which are more expensive in many ways.

This robot does a great job of cleaning floors with no dust, and its avoidance technology helps it stay clear of furniture legs and other obstacles. It also performs well on carpets, and earns a high score for our navigation tests. The only snag is that it's a little more raucous than the other models we test and it doesn't do as well in our owners satisfaction or predicted reliability tests.

The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin that is 770ml. This means you won't need to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The 240-minute runtime is very generous compared to others we've examined. If the battery is depleted it returns to its dock and automatically recharges before continuing cleaning where it stopped. You can manage the Q5 Pro via the app and use voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

This is among the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. This, in conjunction with other advancements, allows it to excel in our mopping and vacuuming tests. It allows you to schedule cleaning times, set no-go zones and see the battery's condition among other things. The app is simple to use, however it does not support Apple HomeKit. The 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. Some other robots won't work with HomeKit, but many of them work with Siri Shortcuts.

With a powerful suction and 3 settings for dry mopping, the TP Link RV30 Plus is quick to remove pet hair, dust, crumbs and other debris from all types of flooring. It can also clean carpets without damaging them thanks to specially designed mops.

During its first mapping run, TP-Link RV30 Plus scans your home and saves it using its dual navigation system, which consists of LiDAR and Gyro. You can alter the map in the app and merge or split rooms according to your preferences. You can also create no-go zones and virtual walls to stop the RV30 Plus from entering areas you don't want it enter.

4. Eufy iMop

The spot cleaning mode allows you to clean a certain area of your floor. And it can be manually programmed to follow a specific path, which is useful for narrow staircases or hallways. It did a good job of cleaning carpets in our carpet cleaning review however it had a difficult time with higher pile carpets and carpets. It is possible to set it up to raise the mop pad automatically when it comes into contact with carpet. This is a great feature for those who want to save the time of mopping their carpets.

The iMop includes an onboard dust bin and water tank, which it emptys at the end of each cleaning session. The dust bin can hold up to 2.5 liters and only needs to be cleaned every two cleaning cycles. The water tank can handle half a dozen mopping sessions before it gets dry.
