Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

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

1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ is an excellent robot vacuum with many smart features that make it easier to maintain. Its automatic bin emptying is one of the most useful features we've encountered in an iRobot, and it works well with both hard floors and carpets. It's also simple to install and use with the app that guides you step-by-step through the process. Another notable feature is the ability to go back to where it began in our tests. It did this for 77 mins on one cleaning, before running out of battery.

The i3+ EVO is different from the other robot vacuums we have tested, has a self emptying bin that automatically dumps debris into an external dirt compartment located on its charging base once it's full. This helps reduce the need for hands-on maintenance and keeps the i3+ EVO from overfilling, but it still needs to be manually empty after each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's built-in dust bin holds 2.4L of debris and is enough to get it through several cleaning sessions before you need to replace it.

The i3+ EVO, just like the i7, utilizes state-of-the-art floor-tracking sensors to produce maps. It also allows you to navigate through neat rows. However, the i3+ EVO only stores a single map while the i7 is able to store multiple maps. The i7's map can be used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones, however, not the i3+ EVO.

The i3+ EVO does a better job of removing debris from the surface when compared to other robovacs we've examined, but it's not the most effective in cleaning edges and corners. It's also more abrasive on furniture, despite being remarkably quiet. It was quite rough on furniture, since it forced chairs away. It also caused collisions against the sides of the test bed.

It also excels on carpets, and earns the highest score on our navigation tests. It's only downside is that it's louder than other models and doesn't do better in our user-satisfaction and predicted reliability assessments.

The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin of 770ml. This means you won't have to empty it as often as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240 minute running time is also generous when contrasted with other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. If the battery is low, it automatically returns to its dock where it recharges and then resumes cleaning from where it left off. You can manage the Q5 Pro via the app and also use voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

This is among the first robots we've seen incorporate 3D mapping. This along with other advances made it perform extremely well in our tests of vacuuming and mopping tests. You can schedule cleanings, set no-go zones, and view the status of the battery, among other things. The app is simple to use, but it doesn't 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 the feature will be delayed until 2025. HomeKit is not compatible with other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are.
