It comes with an additional dirt bin as well as another mop/vacuuming combination bin that you can fill with water or liquid cleaner. The robot automatically switches between mopping and vacuuming modes based on its bin contents.
The Roomba Combo j5+ uses iRobot’s Enhanced mVac Mode to deliver powerful dust suction, which leaves your floors sparkling clean. This mode also uses the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal feature to clean the robot's dirty bin, giving you a hands-free experience. The Combo J5+ comes with a separate power switch that enables you to switch instantly between mopping and cleaning.
It's simple to set up and use your robot with the iRobot Home app. With a few taps, you can design a custom cleaning plan for your entire home or just one room. You can also check your robot's status and monitor it remotely.

This is a great option for those who have pets but wants the convenience of a vacuum and mop combination robot.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner that comes with plenty of features for the price. It has a long run time and it does a great job of cleaning carpeted and bare floors rooms. It is a great app and works well when it is used in conjunction with Alexa. It isn't equipped with mapping features and other advanced controls found in higher-priced competitors.
This robotic vacuum comes with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller that can get into the corners and cracks. It will ensure that your home is well cleaned. It comes with bumper sensors that can help avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps stop the robot from falling. It is also programmed to operate a single room or a group of rooms at scheduled intervals, and it is capable of resuming cleaning that were stopped midway through.
The Shark ION is very effective in cleaning floors that are not clean. However, it has a difficult time to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. However it does a good job of avoiding obstacles and it can run for a long time of up to 90 minutes.
This robot's easy-to-use user interface is one of its best features. You can either press the round button on the top of the unit to begin cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. The app will then tell you how much battery left and the current status of the vacuum. It will also inform you if the cleaning session is complete or not.
Another thing that many people have liked about this vacuum is its ability to work with Alexa. This vacuum can be switched off and on with a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times using the app. The one thing we didn't like about this model was that it took a bit longer to charge in comparison to other models we've looked at. Additionally, the two hand vac attachments do not fit into the base and can easily be lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
This Samsung model is not only the top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera that can be used to monitor your home. It has a lens that you can access through your phone and is designed to keep an eye on the area around your home. You can set a timer to watch your home even when you're away. This is especially useful for pet owners who shed or if you want to watch out for anyone who might be sneaking into.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a range of features such as object recognition and home monitoring, self-emptying bins for dust and five layers of filtering. It's an excellent choice for those who want a premium model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but don't mind the occasional dust that gets on carpets.
The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is one of its best features. It makes use of a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surrounding and locate objects. It can either navigate around the object or marks it as a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't found on many other robots and makes the Samsung a very safe choice for your home.
On the other hand this model doesn't perform well with spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a carpet with rice grains scattered on it. The robot was unable move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have performed better in this test.
It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for less. For instance, you could find a top-rated robotic vacuum that has similar features for a fraction of the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled via the SmartThings app. It is easy to set up thanks to in-app prompts. The app allows you to look at the map, make cleaning schedules, adjust suction, set no-go areas and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you know when the dust bin needs to be emptied.
