Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L that is enough to last through four to five cleaning sessions.

Like the i7model, this model uses state-of-the-art floor tracking sensors to create maps and navigate neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only keep one map, whereas the i7 can store multiple. The i7's map can be used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones but not for the i3+ EVO.

Although the i3+ EVO is better in removing debris on surfaces than the other robovacs that we tested but it's not the best when it comes to cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture despite being relatively quiet. It was a bit rough on furniture, as it pushed chairs away. It also caused collisions with the sides of the test bed.

The only snag is that it's a little more raucous than the other models we test and doesn't perform as well in our owners satisfaction and predicted reliability assessments.

The Q5 Pro has a very large dust bin that is 770ml, which means you don't have to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute run time is also impressive when contrasted with other 2-in-1 robots that we tested. If the battery is low, it automatically returns to its dock where it recharges and then resumes cleaning where it began. You can manage the Q5 Pro via the app and also use voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
