Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop Combos

Auto-vacuums and mops are excellent tools to keep your home tidy. These robots automatically empty their dirt bins into a base station that sucks up the debris after every cleaning session.

This model excels in both cleaning and mopping. It provides excellent floor coverage and outstanding hair removal as well as tangle-free elimination. It also has a near perfect auto-empty rating. It's also fairly affordable.

iRobot Roomba Combo i5

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is an impressive little tool that is a pro at vacuuming and mopping hard floors. This robot will clean your floors and you can program it to do specific tasks. It's a great choice for those who have mostly hardwood or linoleum floors in their home and would like one machine that can handle the majority of the cleaning.

The best robot vacuum and mop part about this robot is you can operate it from your smartphone, which makes things really easy. The app is a bit less basic than some brands but still offers all the essential features. One of the most useful features is the ability to schedule. You can also create an appropriate cleaning schedule for you.

You can also utilize your voice to control the robot, which is a really useful feature. It is compatible with Alexa and Siri-enabled devices. You can tell it to clean your kitchen or your entire home. It's also intelligent enough to be able to understand more commands than other 2-in-1 vacuums and it has a separate mode to clean up areas that are more soiled.

SMART NAVIGATION

The robot will create an Imprint Smart Map of your home and then use it to vacuum and mop. It will be able detect different types of flooring and will even pick up pet hair, dirt and other debris. It utilizes Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes that flex in order to adapt to the flooring type you choose by lifting dirt and loosening it to be sucked up by Power-Lifting suction.

It will also return to the docking station when its dust bin is full. The app will notify you when it's time to empty the bin, so you can complete the task and continue vacuuming. It is also compatible with iRobot's self-emptying clean base making it easy to manage your dirty bins.

There are some downsides to this product, though. It's expensive. The documentation is minimal and there are no printed instructions on how to fix wifi connectivity problems. However, if you can deal with these minor issues then the iRobot Roomba Combo will be an ideal investment for your home.

iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

iRobot Combo J5+ has been considered to be one of the top robot vacuum cleaners and mop combos on the market. It features a powerful 4-stage cleaning system that gets rid of dust, dirt, and pet hair. It has mopping pads that are designed to remove stains and spills. It is easy-to-install and can be integrated into your smart home devices. Its ad can identify and avoid areas that have carpets and rugs, and it does a fantastic job vacuuming hard flooring without smearing carpets. It also works well on rugs and can remove coffee stains that have dried.

iRobot Roomba j9+

The Roomba J9+ builds on previous Roomba improvements. Its increased performance and higher cleaning efficiency distinguish it from its competitors. It's designed for bigger homes with pets, and is able to clean both hard and softer floors. It can tackle dust, dirt and pet hair. It's also the most intelligent iRobot Roomba ever, with advanced features like Dirt Detective and mopping automation that can anticipate your cleaning requirements.

Like its predecessor j9+, the j9+ is equipped with the iRobot's PrecisionVision navigation technology and a camera to detect the presence of obstacles within your home. The robot is able to navigate and avoid obstacles in your home, including furniture, cords and shoes, wires and even pet pee. The j9+ also comes with a smaller, more furniture-friendly self-emptying Clean Base.

After your robot has cleaned a particular area, it docks to the Clean Base where its dirt bin will be automatically emptied. The iRobot Home App records each cleaning task and displays cleaned areas in your map. The app lets you select a specific time to mop or vacuum.

If you select a particular time to vacuum or mop and vacuum, the iRobot Home app will let you know the estimated cleaning duration. You can also choose the number of passes to clean (1, 2 or "room-size" in which large rooms are cleaned once and smaller areas twice to three times). You can also regulate the water and power levels and bin behavior.

The iRobot App also has an amazing feature called image review. The robot will snap a picture of any obstacle it can't detect and then send it to you to review. You can mark the object as an obstacle or add Keep-Out Zones around it. The j9+ will then stay clear of the object in future jobs.

A big reason we prefer the j9+ over other robot vacuums is because of its automatic mopping capabilities. If you enable the SmartScrub option in the app the J9+ will mop the tough dirt and debris that a regular vacuum is unable to remove. It also can detect and get rid of coffee spills, wet spots and grime. However, despite its many automatic mopping features, the j9+ doesn't wash its mop pads in a way as some of its competitors.

iRobot SwitchBot

If you're a fan of robot vacuum cleaners but prefer the multi-purpose of a self-cleaning mop, the SwitchBot is worth taking a look. This dinky little robot packs all of the best robot hoover features from both categories into one sleek device that blends seamlessly into your home decor. It is a good vacuum cleaner and mop. It can navigate your space across different surfaces. It also has powerful suction that can take care of dust, pet hair and dander.

The SwitchBot is small, which gives it an edge in cluttered rooms where larger robots may struggle to navigate furniture. Once you've connected the SwitchBot to your Wi-Fi, it'll show a screen on your phone with simple buttons -- one to begin a cleaning task and another one to get rid of any clutter. You can also set up zones that aren't allowed to ensure that the robot doesn't accidentally sweep up items you don’t want it too.

In my tests, the SwitchBot was able to navigate through my apartment effortlessly, picking up crumbs and droppings on both hard floors and carpets with the vac setting. Its smart navigation systems use LDS laser radar to build a map of your house, so it can precisely map the layout. The system also detects and avoids objects that are likely to become stuck or crushed by the robot.

The brush that sweeps the edges of the SwitchBot is spinning when the vacuum setting is activated and it cleans up all debris in its path. It can also reach beneath tables and chairs making it an ideal option for homes that host a lot of family gatherings. The app's settings let you adjust the speed, direction, and power of the vac motor.

When the SwitchBot is in mops mode, its underside is fitted with a disposable wet smudge which you can replace when it is dry. The wipes are less expensive and less wasteful than the washable pads that are used in the majority of robotic mops. The wipes fit comfortably and prevent them from falling out like they do on other robot mops. The robot also includes the cleaning tool which is usually hidden into a compartment on the opposite side of the charging station.
