Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

Robots aren't quite as adept in removing debris like metal screws or pasta pieces. However, they are excellent at brushing away pet hair, dust and food particles. The best models have intelligent navigation and a feature to avoid objects that help them maneuver around toys, cords and other household obstacles.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ is a great robot vacuum that has many smart features that make it easier to maintain. The automatic bin emptying feature is one of the most impressive features we've seen in a robot vacuum. It works well on carpets as well as hard floors. The app walks you through the entire process. It's also easy to use and set up. Another notable feature is the ability to go back to the spot where it began in our tests. It did this for 77 minutes on one cleaning, before running out of battery.

The i3+ EVO unlike the other robot vacuums we tested has a self emptying bin that automatically disposes of debris in an external dirt compartment on its charging base when it is full. This helps reduce the need for hands-on maintenance and helps keep the i3+ EVO from overfilling, however it still requires manually cleaned after each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L, which is enough to last through four to five cleaning sessions.

Similar to the i7, this model uses state-of-the-art floor tracking sensors to create maps and navigate in neat rows. However the i3+ EVO only stores a single map while the i7 is able to store multiple maps. The i7's map is used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones but not the i3+ EVO.

The i3+ EVO does a better job of removing debris from the surface when compared to other robovacs that we have reviewed, but it is not the most effective in cleaning edges and corners. It is also less gentle on furniture, despite being remarkably silent. It was a bit rough on furniture as it pushed chairs away. It also made some collisions with the sides of the bed.

2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro

If you're looking to expand your collection of robot vacuums or just beginning your journey using one, the Q5 Pro is a great choice. It features a sleek design with a powerful navigation system, as well as effective automation at a reasonable price. It's the best value for the money you can get currently, and it even matches other Roborock models which 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 gets an excellent score in our navigation tests. The only snag is that it's a little noisier than many other models we test, and it doesn't fare similarly in our user satisfaction and predicted reliability assessments.

The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin of 770ml, meaning that you won't need to empty it as often as other 2-in-1 robots. Its 240-minute runtime is also quite generous in comparison to other robots we've tested. If the battery is depleted it returns to its dock and recharges before continuing cleaning where it left off. 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. This, along with other innovations, makes it do exceptionally well during our mopping and vacuuming tests. It allows you to plan cleaning schedules, create no-go zones, and view the battery's status, among other things. The app is easy to use, even though it doesn't support Apple HomeKit; that feature is scheduled to be added by 2025. As of November 1, Apple has updated a footnote on its website to reflect that this feature is delayed until 2025. HomeKit isn't compatible with other robots, however Siri Shortcuts are.

3. TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus

The TP-Link RV30 Plus is easy to install and can be connected to a range of flooring surfaces by using the automatic mode. This assures that the optimal results are achieved in each room and type of flooring.

You can select from three cleaning modes to suit your needs. The vacuuming mode utilizes the intelligent sensor to detect of obstacles such as stairs, furniture and edges. The mopping mode can be used to clean the floor in a systematic manner or to remove staining and liquid spills. A third option allows you to combine both modes to provide a more thorough and thorough cleaning.

The TP Link RV30 Plus features an impressive suction and 3 settings for dry mopping, and is able to quickly remove dust pet hairs, crumbs and other debris from any flooring kind. The device can even clean carpets without damaging them due to the special mop.

In its first mapping run, TP-Link RV30 Plus scans your home and saves it by using its dual navigation system that 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 build virtual walls and no-go zones that will stop the RV30 Plus from wandering into areas you don't wish to visit.

4. Eufy iMop

The Eufy iMop is one of the most powerful fully-featured robot vacuum and mop combos for hard floors. It features a high-tech mapping system that maps your home across multiple floors. The base station is well-designed, and automates cleaning to a great extent. It offers excellent obstacle avoidance and navigation.

The iMop awed us with its navigation efficiency and coverage evaluations, and it was very adept at avoiding obstacles, including furniture. It also has the ability to find its way back to the base station, which is a great feature in the event it runs out of battery during a cleaning session.

It also comes with a spot cleaning mode that allows you to mop or clean a specific part of your floor. It can also be manually programmed to follow a certain route. This is ideal for narrow hallways or stairs. In our carpet cleaning test it performed well cleaning carpets. However, it struggled to clean rugs and carpets with thick piles. It is able to lift the mop pad automatically when it comes in contact with carpet. This is an excellent option for those looking to save the time of mopping their carpets.

The iMop comes with an onboard dustbin as well as a water tank that empties at the end every 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 requires less maintenance and cleaning than the standard robot vacuum, which can be a major selling point for busy families.

The iMop smartphone app is user-friendly and comes with a variety of configuration options. robotic hoovers has different suction settings, mopping settings and scheduling. It allows you to set up virtual walls, no-go zones and other restrictions so that your robot doesn't wander into areas that aren't safe for it. Additionally, the app provides access to your iMop's status and error messages.
