Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

While robots won't be able to replace a traditional vacuum in removing ground-in debris such as metal screws and pieces of orzo pasta, they're excellent at sweeping dust, crumbs and hair from pets. The most effective models come with smart navigation technology and object avoidance capabilities that help them maneuver around cords, toys and other obstacles in the household.

1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ is a fantastic robot vacuum that has a number smart features to make it easier to maintain. The automatic bin emptying feature is one of the best features we've ever encountered in a robotic vacuum. It is a great choice for carpets as well as hard floors. It's also easy to install and use and the app will guide you step-by-step through the process. Its ability to restart the same place it left off during our tests is an additional impressive feature. It was able to do this for 77 minutes on one cleaning, before the battery ran out.

The i3+ EVO unlike the other Bagless Robot vacuum vacuums robot that we tested has a self emptying bin that automatically disposes of debris in an external dirt container on the base of its charging once it is fully filled. The i3+ EVO is able to prevent overfilling with a self-emptying bin. However it must be emptied manually at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's inner dust bin can hold 2.4L of waste that is more than enough to get it through five or four cleaning sessions before needing to replace it.

This model, like the i7 uses state-ofthe-art floor-tracking sensors that create maps. It can also allow you to navigate in neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only keep one map, whereas the i7 can store multiple. The i7's map can be used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones, but not for the i3+ EVO.

The i3+ EVO is more effective of removing surface debris when compared to other robovacs we've reviewed, but it is not the best at cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture despite being relatively silent. It was a bit rough on furniture, as it pushed chairs away. It also made some collisions against the sides of the test bed.

The Q5 Pro has a very large dust bin that is 770ml, which means you don't have to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. Its 240-minute runtime is also extremely generous when compared to other models we've tried. If the battery is empty it goes back to its dock and automatically recharges before resuming cleaning where it left off. You can control the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

This is one of the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. That, combined with some other innovations, makes it perform exceptionally well during our mopping and vacuuming tests.
