Why Everyone Is Talking About Top Robot Vacuum Right Now
Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos
Robots aren't quite as adept at removing particles such as metal screws or pasta pieces. However, they are excellent at brushing away pet hair, dust and dust. The best models are equipped with intelligent navigation systems, which assists them in avoiding cords, toys and other household obstacles.
1. IRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
The iRobot Roomba i3+ is a fantastic robot vacuum that comes with a number smart features to make it easier to maintain. The automatic bin emptying feature is among the most useful features we've seen in a robot vacuum. It works well on carpets and hard floors. It's also simple to install and use and the app will guide you step-by-step through the process. Another feature that is impressive is the ability to return to the spot where it was when we tested it. It did this for 77 minutes on one cleaning, before running out of battery.
The i3+ EVO, unlike some of the other robot vacuums we have tested, has a self-emptying bin that automatically disposes of debris in an external dirt container on its charging base once it is fully filled. This helps reduce the need for hands-on maintenance and helps keep the i3+ EVO from overfilling, but it still requires manually empty after each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L, which is enough to last four to five cleaning sessions.
This model, like the i7 uses state-ofthe-art floor-tracking sensors that create maps. It can also allow you to navigate in neat rows. smart robot i3+ EVO can only store one map, while the i7 is able to store multiple. The i7's map is used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones but not the i3+ EVO.
Although the i3+ EVO is more effective in picking up surface debris than some of the other robovacs we reviewed, it's not the best in terms of cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture, despite being relatively quiet. It pushed chairs away from walls and caused some collisions with the sides of our test bed, and got stuck on cords and toys while testing.
2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro
Whether you're expanding your collection of robot vacuums or just starting out with the Q5 Pro is a great option. It offers a sleek design, powerful navigation, and efficient automation at a low price. It's the best model for the money available right now and even beats the Roborock models that are more expensive in a variety of ways.
This robot does a fantastic job of cleaning floors with no dust, and its avoidance technology helps it steer clear of furniture legs and other obstacles. It also excels on carpets and gets the highest score on our tests of navigation. 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 assessments.
The Q5 Pro has a very large dust bin of 770ml which means you won't have to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute run time is also impressive when in comparison to other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. When the battery is low it returns to its dock and automatically recharges before resuming cleaning where it left off. You can control the Q5 Pro via the app and use voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
This is among the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. This, along with other innovations, makes it excel during our mopping and vacuuming tests. You can schedule cleanings or create no-go zones. You can also view the battery status. The app is easy to use, though it doesn't support Apple HomeKit and that feature is expected to be available by 2025. As of November 1, Apple has updated a footnote on its website to reflect that this feature is delayed until 2025. HomeKit isn't compatible with several other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are.

The TP-Link RV30 Plus can be quickly set up and connected to a variety of floor surfaces with the automatic mode. This guarantees the best cleaning results for every area and floor type.
You can select three cleaning modes to suit your needs. The vacuuming mode cleanses the entire room and uses the smart sensor to detect edges, stairs, furniture and other obstacles. The mopping mode can be utilized to automatically clean your floor or to get rid of stubborn liquid spills and stains. You can combine both functions to get a thorough and deep cleaning.
The TP-Link RV30 Plus comes with powerful suction, three settings for dry mopping, and is able to quickly remove dust pet hairs, crumbs and other debris from any flooring kind. It can clean carpets without damaging the flooring thanks to special mop heads.
In its initial mapping session, TP-Link RV30 Plus scans your home and stores it with its dual navigation system, which consists of LiDAR and Gyro. The map can be edited within the app and you can join or split rooms as you'd like. You can also create virtual walls and no-go zones to prevent the RV30 Plus from wandering into areas that you don't want it enter.

This is ideal for narrow stairs or hallways. In our carpet cleaning test, it did a good job cleaning carpets. However, it struggled to clean rugs and carpets with larger piles. It is also able to automatically raise the mop pad when it encounters carpet, which is a fantastic feature to not mop your carpets.
The iMop features an onboard dust bin and a water tank which it fills and refills at the end of each cleaning session. The onboard dust bin holds up to 2.5 liters of debris and will only require emptying after a few cleaning cycles. The water tank can withstand up to a dozen mopping cycles before it is dry.
