Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos
While robots won't be able to replace a conventional vacuum in removing ground-in debris such as metal screws and chunks of orzo pasta, they're great in sweeping dust, crumbs and pet hair. The most effective models come with smart navigation technology and object avoidance features which allow them to navigate around toys, cords and other obstacles in the household.
1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is a great robot vacuum that comes with a range of innovative features that make it easier to maintain than other models. The automatic bin emptying feature is among the most impressive features we've seen in a robot vacuum. It works well on carpets and hard floors. It's also simple to install and use, with the app guiding you step-by-step through the process. Another notable feature is the ability to go back to where it began in our tests. It did this for 77 minutes in one cleaning, before running out of battery.
The i3+ EVO is different from the other robot vacuums we tested has a self-emptying bin that automatically disposes of debris in an external dirt compartment on the base of its charging once it's full. The i3+ EVO can be kept from overfilling by a self-emptying bin. However, it must still be manually emptied at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L which will last for four to five cleaning sessions.
The i3+ EVO, just like the i7, utilizes state-of-the-art floor-tracking sensors that create maps. It can also allow you to navigate in neat rows. However, the i3+ EVO only stores one map, whereas the i7 has the capacity to store multiple maps. The i7 also has the ability to make use of its map to create no-go zones as well as virtual barriers, however the i3+ EVO is not able to do this.
Although the i3+ EVO is superior in removing debris on surfaces than the other robovacs we reviewed but it's not the best in terms of cleaning edges and corners. It's also not as gentle on furniture, despite being surprisingly quiet. It pushed chairs away from walls and made some collisions with the sides of our test bed, and it got stuck on cords and toys during testing.
2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro
The Q5 Pro is an excellent choice, whether you are expanding your collection of robot vacuums or just starting out. It features a sleek design with a powerful navigation system, as well as efficient automation at a low cost. It's the best robot vacuum under 200 value for the money available at the moment and is even better than other Roborock models which are more expensive in a variety of ways.
This robot does a fantastic job of cleaning floors that are not clean, and its avoidance technology assists it in avoiding furniture legs and other obstacles. It also does well on carpets and gets a high score in our navigation tests. The only drawback is that it's more noisy than other models and doesn't do as well in our satisfaction of the owner and predicted reliability assessments.
The Q5 Pro has a very large dust bin that is 770ml, which means you won't need to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute run time is also generous when compared to other 2-in-1 robots we tested. If the battery is empty it returns to its dock and automatically recharges, before starting cleaning where it stopped. You can control the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
This is the first robot we've seen that incorporates 3D mapping. This along with other advancements has helped it perform exceptionally well in our vacuuming tests and mopping tests. You can schedule cleanings or create no-go zones. You can also see the battery status. The app is simple to use, though it does not support Apple HomeKit and that feature is scheduled to be added by 2025. Apple changed its footnote on its website in early November to reflect that this feature has been delayed until 2025. HomeKit is not compatible with several other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are.
3. TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus
The Tapo RV30 Plus TP-Link robot vacuum cleaner is an excellent option if you're searching for a vacuum that can mop as well and is reasonably priced. It comes with a plethora of features at a reasonable price and features a stylish design. You can control the device with different buttons on the device or through the app and even make use of voice commands. The device is powered by batteries, and the robotic vacuum cleaner commercial can automatically empty itself.
The TP-Link RV30 Plus does a excellent job of vacuuming standard messes and is suitable for light mopping on hard floors. It comes with a replacement sweeping brush and mopping cloth, as well being a HEPA-filter. It can be used with smart hubs such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to allow voice control. The TP-Link RV30 Plus can be easily set up, and can be connected to a variety of floor surfaces with the automatic mode. This ensures that the optimal results are achieved in each room and type of flooring.
Three cleaning modes are available to suit your requirements. The vacuuming mode uses the smart sensor to detect of obstacles such as stairs, furniture edges, and stairs. The mopping feature can be used to automatically clean the robotic floor scrubber or to get rid of stubborn liquid spills and stains. You can combine both functions to achieve a thorough and deep cleaning.
The TP Link RV30 Plus features a powerful suction, 3 settings for dry mopping, and can quickly remove dust, pet hairs, crumbs and other debris from floors of any type. The device can even clean carpets without damaging them thanks to specially designed mop.
In its first mapping run, TP-Link RV30 Plus scans your home and saves it by using its dual navigation system, which consists of LiDAR and Gyro. The map can be edited using the app, and you can merge or split rooms as you like. You can also design virtual walls and no-go zones to prevent the RV30 Plus from wandering into areas you don't wish to visit.
4. Eufy iMop
The Eufy iMop is one of the top full-featured robot vacuums and mops for hard floors. It has a high-tech navigation system that does an excellent job of mapping your home's layout and even across several floors. And the well-designed base station almost fully automates the cleaning process. It also offers impressive obstacle avoidance and navigation.
This model uses an internal dToF LiDAR sensor to map out your home and devise efficient cleaning routes. The iMop was a winner in our analysis of coverage and navigation efficiency and was efficient in getting around obstacles, such as furniture. It can also find its way to the base station in case it is unable to recharge its batteries during an exercise of cleaning.
It also comes with a spot cleaning mode that allows you to clean or mop a specific area of your floor. It can also be manually programmed to follow a specific path, which is useful if you have narrow staircases or hallways. It did a good job of cleaning carpets during our carpet cleaning test, but it struggled with longer pile carpets and rugs. It can also be set to automatically raise the mop pad whenever it comes into contact with carpet, which is a fantastic feature to avoid mowing your carpets.
The iMop comes with an onboard dustbin and a water tank that empties at the end every cleaning session. The dust bin can hold up to 2.5 liters and only needs to be emptied every two cleaning cycles. The water tank is capable of handling about a dozen mopping sessions before it runs out. The iMop is more easy to maintain and clean than the average robot cleaner, and can be an important selling point for busy households.
The iMop's smartphone app is user-friendly and packed with options for setting up. It comes with multiple suction settings, mopping settings and scheduling. It also lets you build virtual walls and no-go zones to ensure that the robot vacuum hoover doesn't wander into areas that aren't safe for it. In addition, the app lets you view your iMop's status and error messages.
