Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

Robots aren't quite as adept in removing debris such as metal screws or pasta pieces. But they're amazing at cleaning pet hair, dust, and crumbs. The best robot vacuum cleaner models are equipped with smart navigation technology, which helps them avoid cords, toys, and other household obstacles.

1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is a fantastic 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 impressive features we've encountered in a robotic vacuum. It works well on carpets and hard floors. It's also simple to install and use and the app will guide you step-by-step through the procedure. Another notable feature is the ability to return to the spot where it left off in our tests--it did this for 77 minutes on one cleaning, before running out of battery.

The i3+ EVO is different from the other robot sweeper vacuums that we tested has a self-emptying bin that automatically disposes of debris into an external dirt container on its charging base once it is full. This reduces hands-on maintenance and helps keep the i3+ EVO from overfilling, however it still needs to be manually emptied after every cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's internal dust bin can hold 2.4L of debris and is enough to last five or four cleaning sessions before needing to replace it.

Similar to the i7, this model also uses the latest floor sensors to create maps and navigate in neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only store one map, while the i7 is able to store multiple. The i7's map is used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones, but not the i3+ EVO.

The i3+ EVO is more effective of removing debris from the surface compared to some other robovacs that we have reviewed, but it is not the most effective in cleaning corners and edges. It's also more abrasive on furniture despite being relatively silent. It was quite rough on furniture, as it pushed chairs away. It also caused collisions with the sides of the bed.

2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro

If you're looking to increase your robot vacuum collection or just beginning your journey, the Q5 Pro is a great choice. It offers an elegant design with a powerful navigation system, as well as useful automation at a reasonable cost. It's the best robot vacuum cleaner model for the money available at the moment and even beats the Roborock models that are more expensive in many ways.

This robot Vac does an excellent job cleaning bare floors and its avoidance system helps it stay clear of furniture legs and other obstacles. It also excels on carpets and gets the highest score on our tests of navigation. The only snag is that it's noisier than many other models we test, and it doesn't fare as well in our owners 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 frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The 240-minute runtime is 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 with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

This is the first robot vacuum cleaner amazon we've seen with 3D mapping. This, along with other innovations, helped it perform exceptionally well in our tests for vacuuming and mopping tests. You can schedule cleaning times, set no-go zones, and view the battery's condition among other things. The app is simple to use, even though it does not support Apple HomeKit and that feature is slated to be added in 2025. Apple changed its footnote on its website in November of this year to reflect the fact that the feature was delayed until 2025. HomeKit isn't compatible with other robots, however Siri Shortcuts are.

3. TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus

The TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus robot vacuum cleaner is an excellent option if you're looking for a machine that is able to mop and is priced reasonably. It has a wide array of features at a reasonable price and features a stylish design. You can control it with the buttons on the device through the app or even with voice commands. The device is powered by batteries, and the vacuum container can automatically empty itself.

The TP-Link RV30 Plus is a great vacuum cleaner for standard messy messes. It can also be used to gently mop on hard floors. It comes with mopping cloths that can be replaced and a sweeping brush and an HEPA filter. It can be used with smart hubs such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to control the device using voice. The TP-Link RV30 Plus is easy to set up and can be connected to a wide range of flooring surfaces by using the automatic mode. This assures that the optimal results are achieved in every room and flooring.

You can select three cleaning modes that will meet your requirements. The vacuuming mode is a thorough cleaning of the room. It utilizes the smart sensor to detect edges, stairs, furniture and other obstacles. The mopping mode can be used to sweep the floor automatically or to get rid of the stubborn stains and liquid spills. You can combine the two functions to get a thorough and deep cleaning.

The TP-Link RV30 Plus comes with powerful suction, three settings for dry mopping, and can swiftly remove dust, pet hairs, crumbs, and other debris from any flooring kind. It can also clean carpets without damaging them due to specially designed mops.

During the first mapping session, the TP-Link RV30 Plus scans and saves the home's layout using its LiDAR and Gyro dual navigation system. You can modify the map using the app and merge or split rooms according to your preference. You can also design virtual walls and no-go zones to prevent the RV30 Plus from straying into areas you don't want to be in.

4. Eufy iMop

The Eufy iMop is one of the best robovac full-featured robot vacuum and mop combos for hard floors. It has a high-tech mapping system that maps your home across multiple floors. And the extremely well-designed base station virtually automates the cleaning process. It also offers amazing obstacle avoidance and navigation.

This model makes use of a dToF internal LiDAR sensor to create a map of your home, resulting in efficient cleaning routes. The iMop was highly rated for its coverage and navigation. It also did a great job in avoiding obstacles like furniture. It also has the ability to find its way back to the base station, which is a great benefit in case it is unable to recharge its battery during cleaning.

The spot cleaning mode allows you to clean a particular area on your floor. It can also be manually programmed to follow a fixed path, which is useful in narrow staircases or hallways. In our carpet cleaning test, it did a good job cleaning carpets. However, it was unable to clean rugs and carpets with larger piles. It can be set up to raise the mop pad when it comes in contact with carpet. This is an excellent option for those looking to avoid having to mop their carpets.

The iMop comes with an onboard dustbin as well as a water tank, which it emptys at the end of each cleaning session. The onboard dust bin holds up to 2.5 liters of debris and should only need emptying every few cleaning cycles. The water tank can handle about a dozen mopping sessions before it is dry. The iMop requires less maintenance and cleaning than an average robot vacuum, which could be a big selling point for busy families.

The iMop's smartphone app is simple to use and packed with configuration options. It has multiple 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 doesn't wander off into prohibited areas. The app also provides access to iMop status and errors messages.
