1. iRobot Roomba j7 Combo Plus

The iRobot Roomba J7 Combo Plus robot is one of the most versatile mopping and vacuum cleaners you can buy. It has the same amazing navigation smarts as our top-rated Roomba V7, but it includes mopping, and an automatic base station that empties its dirt collection bin.

Its most notable feature is its excellent obstacle avoidance. It takes pictures of objects it encounters in mapping and determines the location of them in your home so it can instruct the robot to clear or avoid them. You can use the app to create maps of your rooms and to identify specific areas you would like it to stay away from. The j7+ can send you a picture of every obstacle it has encountered. This lets you identify them as permanent or temporary avoidances.

In our testing it was able overcome a myriad of household obstacles without getting stuck or chewing up shoes and cords like earlier models. It even gave pet waste a wide berth (although it did tangle with socks and baseball caps). It was also excellent at picking up larger spills and crumbs.

This robot is able to both vacuum and mop according to a set schedule that is great for those who prefer mopping your floors. It did an excellent job cleaning all surfaces in our home that was mostly hardwood floors, and a few area rug. The mops took more time than we'd like, but it still left the floor looking remarkably clean.

It's capable of climbing up high-pile carpet and also may struggle to get rid of fine debris on this surface. It's not perfect with pet hair, but is still superior to some of its rivals.

It is removable for easy cleaning. The SmartScrub feature from iRobot also mops floors with constant pressure, which results in a better cleaning. The robot can also raise the mop pad on rugs and carpets, so as to avoid getting them wet.

During our tests, the Combo j9 proved to be a powerful vacuum capable of removing large amounts of debris. It also did a great job of following walls, stairs, and furniture. It was struggling to get rid of dust and pet hair on carpets with plush padding. It was able to navigate obstacles, but took longer to finish its cleaning tasks than other robots.

It returns to its base regularly to wash off dirt and clean the pad. The DreameBot is also more sophisticated than the majority of mopping robots we tested and uses its lidar to map and modify rooms as it goes. Its AI-powered obstacles avoidance was effective in our test room. It avoided cables and socks without getting confused. It had some trouble dealing with a large pile of Cheerios however.

The app allows the highest level of control and customization. It lets you define virtual no-go zones as well as dynamic cleaning zones by rooms or floors. It also has a powerful suction power of 4000Pa, which is far superior to the combined 2,000Pa of Roomba 13 and Bissell SpinWave. The battery comes with a large capacity of 5200mAH, which will provide plenty of cleaning time.

This model is compatible with iRobot OS, which means it will receive updates to its software in the moment they become available. The app allows you to send images of obstacles encountered by the robot to iRobot servers to aid in improving its algorithms. iRobot affirms that it only uses the images of users who have chosen this training that is based on user input and don't make use of them for other purpose.

The physical controls of the DreameBot are limited. The majority of options are accessible through the iRobot Home App or Google Home and Alexa. You can select manually the area you want to clean or begin an overall cleaning process or even schedule either vacuuming or mopping on a single cycle. The app also lets you to create the schedule for weekly, daily mopping, and vacuuming cycles, or a manual one.

4. iRobot Narwal

It's a bit more expensive than the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, but it has several benefits, including a superior vacuuming performance on low-pile carpets and rugs, as also a more robust mopping and self-cleaning station.

Like many other robots in this category Narwal is also a robot that Narwal can be controlled through an app and set to clean according to an established schedule. The app is confusing and offers obscure instructions to complete tasks.

Incorporating a floor plan into the Narwal app will allow it know where to go. Once that's done, you can start cleaning by pressing a button on the robot or its base station. A voice prompt will give you status updates and an indicator on the base station keeps you apprised of the job's progress and battery level.

When you hit the mopping mode button the two rotating pads are deployed, and the Narwal heads to the farthest point on its map, where it begins scrubbing. It's a highly effective scrub, applying 12 newtons of force to the pads while they spin. it takes just 16oz of water in order to wash the surface of a moderate-sized room.

The bagless self-emptying robot vacuum returns to the base station after each mopping run where it refills the microfiber pad and rinses them. It can also wash its own pad brushes. This is great for those who prefer to avoid cleaning products. The Narwal utilizes dirt sensors to determine areas that require more focus. Its smart mapping technology can also adjust for different surfaces.

iRobot Pro Q5

It's also missing advanced mopping features such as a rotating roller and front-facing obstacles detection, which the S8 provides.

The Q5 Pro can be powered by a 5200 mAh battery that provides a clean runtime of up to four hours. It's also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri to allow hands-free control.
