Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

While robots aren't able to replace a conventional vacuum in picking up ground-in debris such as metal screws or chunks of orzo pasta, they're great at sweeping dust, crumbs and pet hair. The best models feature intelligent navigation and a feature to avoid objects that allow them to maneuver around cords, toys and other household obstacles.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is an excellent robot vacuum that comes with a range of innovative features that make it more easy to maintain than most competing models. The automatic bin emptying feature is one of the most efficient features we've seen on the form of a robot and it is compatible with hard floors as well as carpets. It's also easy to install and use with the app that guides you through the process step-by-step. Another feature that is impressive is the ability to return to the spot where it was when we tested it. It did this for 77 minutes on one cleaning, before running out of battery.

The i3+ EVO unlike the other robot vacuums we have tested, comes with a self-emptying bin that automatically dumps debris into an external dirt compartment on the base of its charging once it is full. The i3+ EVO can be prevented from overfilling with a self-emptying bin. However, it must still be manually emptied at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's built-in dustbin holds 2.4L of trash that is enough to get it through four or five cleaning sessions before you need to replace it.

This model, like the i7, utilizes state-of-the-art floor-tracking sensors that create maps. It can also allow you to navigate in neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only keep one map, whereas the i7 can store multiple. The i7 can also utilize its map to create no-go zones and 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 best at cleaning corners and edges. It's also a bit less gentle on furniture, despite being relatively quiet. It moved chairs away from walls, and made some collisions with the sides of our test bed, and also was stuck to cords and toys during testing.

2. Black & Decker Pro Q5

The Q5 Pro is an excellent choice for expanding your collection of robot vacuums, or just getting started. It packs powerful power, smart navigation, and handy automation into a sleek design at a price that is affordable. It's the best pound-for-pound model on sale right now and even matches some of Roborock's much pricier models in many ways.

This robot is great in cleaning floors that are dirty and its avoidance technology assists it in staying clear of furniture legs or other obstacles. It also performs well on carpets and scores an excellent score in our navigation tests. It's only downside is that it's louder than other models and doesn't perform as well in our satisfaction of the owner 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 frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The 240-minute runtime is quite generous in comparison to other robots we've examined. When the battery is low it goes back to its dock and recharges, before starting cleaning where it stopped. You can manage the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

This is the first robot we've seen that incorporates 3D mapping. That, combined with some other innovations, helps it excel in our mopping and vacuuming tests. It is possible to schedule cleanings and set up no-go zones. You can also see the battery status. The app is simple to use, however it does not 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 note that this feature will be delayed until 2025. Some other robots won't work with HomeKit however, a lot of them are compatible with Siri Shortcuts.

The iMop includes an onboard dust bin and water tank, which it is empty at the conclusion of each cleaning session.
