Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

Robots aren't quite as adept at picking up debris like screws made of metal or chunks of pasta. However, they are excellent at brushing away pet hair, dust, and dust. The most effective models come with intelligent navigation systems, which helps them avoid cords, toys and other obstacles in the household.

1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is an excellent robot vacuum with a number of smart features that make it much easier to maintain than most competing models. The automatic bin emptying feature is among the most impressive features we've encountered in a robotic vacuum. It is a great choice for both carpets and hard floors. The app walks you through the entire process. It's also simple to use and set up. Another impressive feature 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, has a self emptying bin that automatically disposes of debris into an external dirt compartment located on its charging base once it's full. The i3+ EVO can be kept from overfilling thanks to a self-emptying container. However it still needs to be manually emptied at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's internal dust bin holds 2.4L of debris and is more than enough to get it through five or four cleaning sessions before you have to replace it.

Like the i7, this model uses state-of-the-art floor sensors to create maps and 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 and virtual barriers, but the i3+ EVO cannot.

The i3+ EVO does a better job of picking up surface debris in comparison to other robovacs that we have reviewed, but it is not the best in cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture, despite being fairly quiet. It pushed chairs away from walls, and made some collisions with the sides of our test bed, and got stuck on cords and toys during our testing.

2. automatic vacuum & Decker Pro Q5

If you're looking to expand your collection of robot vacuums or just starting out, the Q5 Pro is a great option. It features an elegant design with a powerful navigation system, as well as useful automation at a reasonable cost. It's the best value for the money on the market right now, and it even matches the Roborock models that are much more expensive in many ways.

This robot does a fantastic job of cleaning floors with no dust, and its avoidance technology helps it stay clear of furniture legs and other obstacles. It also excels on carpets, and earns the highest score on our navigation tests. The only drawback is that it's noisier than other models, and doesn't perform better in our user-satisfaction and predicted reliability tests.

The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin of 770ml, meaning that you won't have to empty it as often as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute run time is also a lot when contrasted with other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. When the battery is low, it returns to its dock and recharges before continuing cleaning where it stopped. You can manage the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

This is one of the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. This along with other advancements made it perform extremely well in our tests for vacuuming and mopping test. You can schedule cleanings and set up no-go zones. You can also view the battery status. The app is simple to use, but it does not support Apple HomeKit and that feature is slated to be added by 2025. Apple changed its footnote on its website in the beginning of November to reflect that the feature was delayed until 2025. HomeKit isn't compatible with several other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are.

3. TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus


The TP-Link Tapo R30 Plus robot vacuum cleaner is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a vacuum that is able to mop and is reasonably priced. It features a sleek design and 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. The device is battery-powered and the vacuum can automatically empty itself.

The TP-Link RV30 Plus does a very good job at cleaning up normal messes and is suitable for light mopping on hard floors. It comes with a new sweeping brush and mopping cloth, aswell as a HEPA-filter. It can be paired with a smart home hub like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for convenient voice control. The TP-Link RV30 Plus can be easily set up, and can be connected to different floor surfaces with the automatic mode. This ensures the most effective cleaning results for each area and floor type.

Three cleaning modes are available to fit your requirements. The vacuuming mode is a thorough cleaning of the room. It utilizes the sensor's smart technology to detect edges, stairs, furniture and other obstacles. The mopping mode is utilized to automatically clean floors or remove stubborn liquid spills and stains. Another option is to combine the two modes to provide a more thorough and thorough cleaning.

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

During the first mapping session, the TP-Link RV30 Plus scans and records the layout of your home using its LiDAR and Gyro dual navigation system. You can modify the map using the app and combine or split rooms according to your preferences. You can also build virtual walls and no-go zones to prevent the RV30 Plus from wandering into areas you do not want.

4. Eufy iMop

The Eufy iMop is one of the most powerful fully-featured robot vacuums and mops for hard floors. It comes with a cutting-edge mapping system that can map your home across multiple floors. And the well-designed base station almost fully automates the cleaning process. It also provides amazing obstacles-avoiding and navigation.

This model makes use of an internal dToF LiDAR sensor to map your home, creating efficient cleaning routes. The iMop was a winner in our analysis of coverage and navigation efficiency and was good at avoiding obstacles, including furniture. It's also able to find its way back to the base station which is a nice feature in the event that it's running out of battery during cleaning.

The spot cleaning mode lets you to clean a particular area on your floor. And it can be manually programmed to follow a predetermined path, which is useful if you have narrow hallways or stairs. In our carpet cleaning test, it did a good job cleaning carpets. However, it struggled to clean rugs and carpets with longer piles. It can be set up to raise the mop pad automatically whenever it comes into contact with carpet. This is an excellent feature for those who wish to not have to mop their carpets.

The iMop comes with an onboard dust container and a water tank that it is filled and refilled at the end of each cleaning session. The dust bin onboard can hold up to 2.5 Liters and only has to be cleaned every two cleaning cycles. The water tank can withstand half a dozen mopping sessions before it gets dry. The iMop is easier to maintain and clean than the typical robot cleaner, which could be an important selling point for busy households.

The iMop smartphone app is user-friendly and has a lot of configuration options. It comes with a variety of suction modes, mopping settings and also scheduling. It allows you to create virtual walls, no-go zones, and other limitations to ensure that the robot won't wander off into prohibited areas. Additionally, the app lets you view your iMop's status and errors messages.
