Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos While robots can't replace a traditional vacuum in picking up ground-in debris such as metal screws or chunks of orzo pasta, they're great in sweeping dust, crumbs and pet hair. The best models feature intelligent navigation and object avoidance capabilities that help them maneuver around toys, cords and other household obstacles. 1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO The iRobot Roomba i3+ is an excellent robot vacuum that has several smart features that make it easier to maintain. The automatic bin emptying feature is one of the most useful features we've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's great on carpets and hard floors. The app guides you through the entire process. It is also easy to use and set up. Another feature that is impressive 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. Contrary to other robovacs we test, the i3+ EVO has an automatic emptying bin that dumps debris into an external dirt compartment on its charging base when it's filled. This reduces hands-on maintenance and also helps prevent the i3+ EVO from overfilling, however it still needs to be manually emptied after every cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's inner dust bin holds 2.4L of trash, which is more than enough to get it through several cleaning sessions before needing to replace it. Like the i7, utilizes state-of-the-art floor-tracking sensors that create maps. It can also allow you to navigate in neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only store one map, whereas the i7 can store multiple. The i7 is also able to make use of its map to create no-go zones as well as virtual barriers, however the i3+ EVO can't. The i3+ EVO is more effective of picking up surface debris when compared to other robovacs we've reviewed, but it is not the best in cleaning edges and corners. It's also more abrasive on furniture, despite being remarkably quiet. It was a bit rough on furniture, since it pushed chairs away. It also made some collisions with the sides of the test bed. 2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro If you're looking to increase your collection of robot vacuums, or just starting out, the Q5 Pro is a great option. It offers an elegant design, powerful navigation, and effective automation at a reasonable price. It's the most affordable pound-for-pound model on sale right now and is even better than some of Roborock's more expensive models in many ways. This robot does an excellent job of cleaning floors with no dust, and its avoidance technology assists it in avoiding furniture legs and other obstacles. It also does well on carpet and earns an excellent score in our navigation tests. The only snag is that it's more raucous than the other models we test and doesn't perform as well in our owners satisfaction and predicted reliability tests. The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin of 770ml, meaning that you won't have to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240 minute running time is also a lot when compared to other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. If the battery is empty it returns to its dock and automatically recharges before resuming cleaning where it stopped. You can control the Q5 Pro using the app or voice commands with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is the first robot we've seen that incorporates 3D mapping. This along with other advances has helped it perform exceptionally well in our tests for vacuuming and mopping test. It is possible to schedule cleanings and set up no-go zones. You can also view the battery status. The app is easy to use, however it isn't compatible with Apple HomeKit. The feature is scheduled to be added in 2025. As of November 1, Apple has updated a footnote on its website to indicate that the feature will be delayed until 2025. HomeKit is not compatible with other robots, however Siri Shortcuts are. 3.
