Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos Robots aren't so good at removing particles such as metal screws or chunks of pasta. But they're amazing at brushing away pet hair, dust, and food particles. The best models feature intelligent navigation technology and a feature to avoid objects that help them maneuver around toys, cords and other household obstacles. 1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is a great robot vacuum with a number of smart features that make it more easy to maintain than most competing models. Its automatic bin emptying is one of the most useful features we've encountered in an iRobot and it's compatible with hard floors as well as carpets. The app guides you through the entire process. It's also easy to use and set up. Its ability to resume where it left off in our tests is an additional impressive feature. It was able to do this for 77 minutes on one cleaning before the battery died. Contrary to other robovacs we've test, the i3+ EVO comes with self-emptying bins that dump debris into an external dirt compartment on its charging base when it's filled. The i3+ EVO can be prevented from overfilling thanks to a self-emptying container. However, it must still be manually emptied at the end of each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO's internal dust bin can hold 2.4L of trash and is more than enough to get it through four or five cleaning sessions before needing to replace it. Like the i7, this model uses state-of-the-art floor sensors to create maps and 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 is not able to do this. The i3+ EVO does a better job of picking up surface debris when compared to other robovacs we've looked at, but it's not the best at cleaning corners and edges. It is also less gentle on furniture, despite being fairly silent. It was quite rough on furniture, since it pushed chairs away. It also made some collisions against the sides of the bed. 2. Black & Decker Pro Q5 The Q5 Pro is an excellent choice, whether you are expanding your collection of robot vacuums or are just beginning to get started. It packs serious power, a smart navigation system, and handy automation into a sleek design for a reasonable price. It's the best pound-for-pound model available today and even beats Roborock's higher-priced models in many ways. This robot does an excellent job cleaning bare floors and its avoidance system assists it in avoiding furniture legs and other obstacles. It also performs well on carpets and gets a high score for our navigation tests. The only drawback is that it's more noisy than other models and doesn't perform as well in our satisfaction of the owner and predicted reliability tests. The Q5 Pro has a very large dust bin that is 770ml, which means you won't need to empty it as often as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute run time is also generous when in comparison to other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. When the battery is running low, it will automatically return to its dock, where it recharges and resumes cleaning where it was when it stopped. You can manage the Q5 Pro via the app and also use voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This is one of the first robots we've seen incorporate 3D mapping. This, along with other advancements, allows it to excel in our vacuuming and mopping tests. You can schedule cleanings, set no-go zones and see the status of the battery as well as other things. The app is easy to use, but it isn't compatible with Apple HomeKit and that feature is scheduled to be added in 2025. As of the beginning of November, Apple has updated a footnote on its website to indicate that this feature will be delayed until 2025. HomeKit is not compatible with several other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are. 3.
