The 5 best all-in-one vacuum cleaner and robot mop combinations

There’s a good reason why housework is called a chore – no one wants to do it. If you need to vacuum your carpets and mop your hard floors, these tasks become much quicker and easier when you use one of the best robot vacuum and mop combos from a brand like iRobot, Roborock, Samsung or Shark.

These robots quickly learn the layout of your home, can be set to work on a schedule (or whenever a mess is created), and can be controlled using your smartphone. Some even respond to voice commands, so if you accidentally spill something in the kitchen, you can simply summon the robot to clean it up.

Here are our top five recommendations for the best vacuum and robot mop combos currently available.

Pro tip: When choosing your ideal 2-in-1 floor cleaning robot, first determine the floor area to be cleaned, whether you want a HEPA filter function and what additional features the robot’s docking station offers.

Best vacuum-mop robot combination: Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI

When it comes to home appliances, everything offered in Samsung’s renowned Bespoke line is top-notch – like this Jet Bot Combo AI.

One of the most notable features of the robot cleaner: It uses AI to detect objects as it moves. It can distinguish dirt from objects. When it detects a stain or spill, it automatically adjusts settings to improve cleaning. The robot also uses AI to distinguish between floor types to ensure optimal cleaning. You get up to 80 minutes of cleaning time per battery charge.

The Bespoke Jot Bot Combo AI automatically switches between vacuum and mop modes as needed. Then, when it returns to its docking station to recharge, the robot automatically empties its dirt bin and cleans its own mop pads with hot water and steam. It then dries the mop pads so they are clean and ready for their next mopping task.

This latest version of the Jet Bot Combo AI uses improved LiDAR to map your home, then converts the information into 3D maps that it uses to navigate. The SmartThings app lets you set up no-go zones, but the robot has built-in sensors that automatically keep it from falling off stars or crashing into furniture. And as a bonus, when you’re not home, the camera lets you check in on your pets remotely via the SmartThings app. Feature for feature, this is one of the most advanced robot vacuum and mop combos on the market right now.

Overall, the best affordable combination of vacuum and mop robot: iRobot Roomba i5+

Once you use the iRobot Home smartphone app to set up this vacuum and mop combo, it will travel from room to room of your one-story home, vacuuming up dirt or mopping hard floors. The included docking station then charges the robot’s batteries and empties its dirt bin automatically.

The Roomba Combo i5+ uses iRobot’s patented four-stage cleaning system. It uses two multi-surface rubber brushes that adapt to different floor types and won’t get blocked by pet hair. We also like that the Combo i5+ cleans itself. It does this by emptying its vacuum canister into a sealed bag that holds up to 60 days of dirt.

This robot also uses iRobot’s Dirt Detect technology, which allows the Roomba Combo i5+ to identify dirtier areas in your home and, with the vacuum bin installed, clean those more thoroughly. It is designed to efficiently clean both wet and dry floors, transforming from an all-floor vacuum to a vacuum with a mop by simply (manually) changing a bin.

While you set up, monitor and schedule cleaning times using the iRobot Home mobile app, the Roomba Combo i5+ also accepts voice commands through Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri or Google Assistant. Although you have to manually switch this robot between vacuum and mop modes, this is an affordable combo robot that can help you keep your home clean. Based on more than 19,000 user reviews on Amazon, the Roomba Combo i5+ has received a rating of 4.0 out of 5 stars.

The most affordable combination of vacuum and mop robot: Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot

No matter which Shark product you choose, you can be confident that the overall quality will be equal to or better than comparable competitors and similarly priced products. The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot is proof of this.

This robot uses HEPA filters, is bagless, and offers a 5.72-inch wide cleaning path. It can clean all types of floors and has a side brush for cleaning corners. You get up to 110 minutes of continuous cleaning per battery charge.

Once it’s set up and you’ve set a schedule using the Shark app, you can summon the robot at any time using voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for a specific cleaning task.

The vacuum cleaner cleans in a precise matrix grid pattern, allowing it to vacuum up dirt and debris multiple times. A notable feature is the robot’s CleanEdge Detect feature, which uses air blasts and corner detection to remove dirt from edges and corners. At the same time, the HEPA filter captures and traps 99.97 percent of dust and all allergens down to 0.3 microns in size.

The Matrix Plus is designed for use on all sealed hard floors, including wood, tile and laminate. It scrubs hard floors 100 times per minute for an extra-thorough clean. The robot also uses 360-degree LiDAR to accurately map your home, allowing it to clean systematically while detecting and avoiding objects in its path. And thanks to its powerful suction, sonic mopping feature and Shark’s self-cleaning brush roll, the robot picks up pet hair and tackles stuck-on pet messes too.

Best self-emptying vacuum-mop robot combination: Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

By leveraging a suction power of 10,000 Pa – much more than the power of a conventional vacuum cleaner (which is usually between 1,400 and 1,600 Pa) – the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming floors and carpets and also serves as a powerful mop.

As it mops the floor at up to 185 revolutions per minute, the robot also dries the areas it has been in. During this process, the robot uses its built-in dirt-detection technology so it will re-wash certain areas as needed until it detects that your floor is spotless.

With water refill, detergent dispensing, quick charging, dock self-cleaning and off-peak charging features, you get a worry-free cleaning experience with minimal maintenance. Of course, the robot also uses obstacle detection and LiDAR navigation to safely maneuver through your home.

Using its sensors and an RGB camera, the robot can detect different floor and room types and then automatically adjust its settings. It can detect more than 73 objects – such as shoes, pet droppings and floor mirrors – and avoid these obstacles when necessary. In addition, the “Hello Rocky” feature allows users to start cleaning tasks and access additional features via voice commands.

Most intelligent vacuum-mop robot combination: iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max + AutoWash Dock

Currently, the Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + Autowash Dock is iRobot’s most feature-rich and versatile 2-in-1 cleaning robot. Not only does this robot expertly navigate your home and avoid obstacles, but it also uses its powerful suction and advanced mopping capabilities to clean all of your home’s floors with minimal effort on your part.

This Roomba uses iRobot’s four-stage cleaning system and features an edge brush for thorough corner cleaning. Additionally, the dual rubber brushes prevent pet hair from tangling and literally pull deep-seated dirt (and pet hair) out of carpets. Advanced navigation with detection sensors and a camera allows the robot to navigate under and around furniture and avoid obstacles (like stairs, cords, or pet bowls).

In areas that are a little dirtier, the robot mop uses its SmartScrub feature to repeatedly scrub back and forth, maximizing its cleaning power. At the end of its cleaning cycle, the robot then returns to its docking station. At this point, the AutoWash Dock empties the dirt into a sealed bag, refills the mop tank, and washes and dries the mop pad.

One feature we really like is that unlike many 2-in-1 cleaning robots, this robot uses an auto-retractable mopping system that lifts itself to the top of the robot. This prevents wet carpets from getting dirty. Plus, it vacuums and mops on hard floors at the same time. You can control this robot with the iRobot Home app as well as voice commands from Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant.
