The Roomba Combo j5+, the latest 2-in-1 model from iRobot's premium range, has vacuuming and mopping features.

The model, just like the iRobot Combo j7+ features Power-Lifting Suction. It is designed to be used for vacuuming as well as mopping. It has an additional bin for dirt and a combo mop/vacuuming bin that you fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot will automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode according to the contents of its bin.
Using the iRobot's Enhanced mVac Mode, the Roomba Combo j5+ delivers powerful dust suction that leaves your floors clean. This mode makes use of the Clean Base Automatic Dirt collection system to clean the robot's dirt bin, giving you an effortless hands-free experience.

This is a great option for anyone who has pets but prefers the convenience of a vacuum and mop combinator.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with an impressive amount of features for the price. It has a long running time and does an excellent job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It is a great app that works well it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls found in the more expensive competitors.
This robot vacuum features powerful motors and a multi-surface brush roll to penetrate into cracks and corners to make sure your home is spotless. It also has bumper sensors to can help avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps stop the robot from falling. It can also be programmed to run a specific room or set of rooms at scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions that it stopped halfway through.
The Shark ION is very good at cleaning bare floors. However, it is unable to remove pet hairs and other debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. It is capable of avoiding obstructions, and can run for up to 90 minutes.
The user interface that this robot has is among its most appealing features. There's a round cleaning button located on the top of the unit that you can push to begin a cleaning session or use your phone to launch the Shark ION app and give it a voice command. Once you've done that, the app will tell you the current battery level and the status of the vacuum, as well as whether it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.
Many customers also loved the fact that this vacuum works with Alexa. This vacuum can be switched off and on by simply speaking. You can also set up cleaning times by using the app. The only downside we could find with this vacuum is that it takes a little longer to charge than some of the other models we've reviewed, and the two hand vac attachments don't fit into the base and can be lost quite easily.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
In addition to being a top rated robot vacuum in the market, this Samsung model can also be used as a camera for home monitoring. It comes with a lens you can access through your phone and is designed to monitor the surroundings around your home. You can even create a schedule of when you want it to be patrolling the house while you are away. This is ideal if your pets shed or you want to watch for any intruders.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a variety of features including object recognition and home monitoring, a self-emptying dust bin and five layers of filtration. It's a good choice for people who want an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors, but doesn't mind a bit of dust on carpets.
The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is among its most effective features. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding area and identify items. It then either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature isn't found on other robots, which makes the Samsung an extremely safe choice for your home.
On the other hand, this model doesn't do very well on spot cleaning. We asked the robot to clean a carpet that had rice grains scattered over it. The robot did a poor job at pushing the rice grains and did not take any of them. This is a disappointing outcome in light of the fact that other models did better in the test.
It's worth mentioning, too, that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ can be a bit pricey in comparison to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums offer the same performance at a lower price. For instance, you can purchase a top-rated robot vacuum with the same features for half the cost with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled by the SmartThings app. The process of setting up is simple with in-app prompts to guide you through the process. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, set no-go areas and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of the robot and when the dustbin must be emptied.

This model is priced at less than half the cost and features four cleaning modes. The vacuum dust container is easy to empty and the mopping tank can hold up to 200 milliliters (7 7 ounces).
Last year, we tested this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be very efficient on both low-pile and hard floors.

It comes with an integrated remote that makes it easy to alter settings.
It can also be controlled by voice. You can begin and stop a cleaning cycle through an app for your tablet or phone. The app also lets you set a cleaning schedule and select the cleaning mode. The robot returns to its charging base after each cleaning session, or when power is low.

Modern robotic vacuums and mops are compatible with smartphones applications.
