Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop Combos

Auto vacuums and mops can be great tools to keep your home spotless. These robots empty their dirt storage areas into a base station that collects debris after each cleaning session.

This model excels in both vacuuming and mopping, with outstanding floor coverage, outstanding hair pickup and tangle avoidance, a nearly perfect auto-empty score, and more. It's also reasonably priced.

iRobot Roomba Combo i5

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is small, but powerful robot that is a pro at both vacuuming and mopping hardwood floors. The robot leaves your floors spotless and you can set it up for specific tasks. It's a great option for those who have mostly flooring made of wood or linoleum in their home and want one machine that can handle the majority of the cleaning.

The best part about this robot is that you are able to operate it from your smartphone making things simple. The app is a bit simple compared to other brands, but it still provides all the essential functions you require. The ability to create schedules is one of the best features, and you can even schedule it to clean at a time that is most convenient for you.

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

SMART NAVIGATION

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

It will also return to the docking station when its dust bin is full. When it's time to empty the app will notify you to empty it and resume vacuuming. It's also compatible with iRobot's self-emptying CleanBase, which makes it easier to manage your bins that are clogged with dirt.

There are some downsides to this product. First, it's pretty expensive. Second, the documentation is very basic and there's no information in the printed materials about the best way to fix problems with wifi connectivity. However, if you are able to resolve these minor issues then the iRobot Roomba Combo will be an excellent investment for your home.

iRobot Roomba Combo j5+

iRobot Combo J5+ is one of the best robot vacuum cleaner and mop combos available on the market. It features a powerful four-stage cleaning system to take care of dust, dirt ad vacuum technology can identify and avoid areas with carpets and rugs, and it does an excellent job vacuuming hard flooring without smearing carpets. It can also be used on rugs, and it can remove coffee staining that has dried.

Roomba j9+ from iRobot

The Roomba J9+ builds upon previous Roomba improvements. Its improved performance and higher cleaning efficiency distinguish it from its competitors. It is designed to thoroughly clean larger homes as well as those with pets, and tackles dirt, dust hairs, pet hair and more in both soft and hard floors. It's also the most intelligent iRobot Roomba yet, featuring advanced features such as Dirt Detective and a mopping robot that can anticipate your needs.

The j9+, just like its predecessor, is equipped with iRobot PrecisionVision navigation technology with cameras to identify the presence of obstacles in your home. This allows the robot to navigate around furniture, cords wires, shoes and even pet urine (which it can recognize due to the iRobot's famed P.O.O.P guarantee). The J9+ comes with smaller and more furniture-friendly Clean Base.

After your robot has cleaned a space, it docks at the Clean Base and its dirt bin is automatically empty. The iRobot Home App records each cleaning task, and shows clean areas on your map. The app allows you to choose a specific time to vacuum and/or mop.

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

The iRobot App also comes with a neat feature called review of images. If the robot encounters an obstacle that it is unable identify, it will take pictures and send them to you for review. You can mark the object as an obstacle, or put Keep-Out Zones around it. The j9+ will then avoid the object on subsequent jobs.

The mopping feature that is automatic is a major reason why we prefer the J9+ to other robot vacuums. The j9+ is able to automatically clean hard-to-clean debris and dirt when you enable SmartScrub in the app. It can also detect and move around areas that are wet, like coffee spilled and grime. The j9+ does not wash its mop pad in a way unlike its competitors, despite having many mopping functions that are automatic vacuum and mop.

iRobot SwitchBot

The SwitchBot is a great choice for those who are fans of robot vacuum cleaners, but prefer the flexibility and ease of mop. The tiny robot combines the top features of both categories in an elegant device that seamlessly blends into your home decor. It's a great vacuum cleaner and mops. It is able to navigate your space across different surfaces. It also has an impressive suction power that can tackle dust, pet hair and dander.

The SwitchBot's compact size gives it an advantage in areas that are cluttered where larger robots could struggle to maneuver around furniture. After connecting the SwitchBot to your Wi-Fi, it'll display a screen on your phone that has quick controls -- a button to begin a cleaning task and another to clear any clutter. You can also create zones that aren't allowed to ensure that the robot doesn't accidentally sweep up things you don’t want it too.

In my tests during my tests, the SwitchBot managed to navigate the apartment without difficulty as it picked up crumbs and droppings on carpets and hard floors with the vac setting. The smart navigation systems of the SwitchBot use LDS laser radar to build a blueprint of your house, so it can precisely map the layout. It can also detect and avoid objects that could get stuck or crushed.

The brush that sweeps the edges of the SwitchBot rotates when the vacuum setting is turned on, and it cleans any debris it comes across. It can also reach beneath tables and chairs, making it a great choice for homes that host a lot of family gatherings. You can alter the speed, direction, and power of the autonomous vacuum motor through the app's settings.

When the SwitchBot is in the mops mode, its bottom is equipped with a disposable wet cloth which you can replace after it has run dry. The wipes are less expensive and less wasteful than the washable pads used by most robotic mops. The wipes fit comfortably and prevent them from falling out as they would on other robot mop. The robot also has the cleaning tool, which is typically tucked in a compartment on the opposite side of the charging station.
