Robot Vacuums

The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop knows what kind of floor it’s on and how dirty it is, and adjusts its behavior in response, for an ultra-efficient clean. Mopping left my hardwood floors wetter than I’d like (there’s no way to manually adjust settings), but on the plus side, I’ve never seen a […]

An impressive addition to the smart cleaning sector, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 has similar specs to models costing twice the price. Combining vacuuming and mopping capabilities, it efficiently handles pet hair and dirt on various floor types and is brilliant at mapping and avoiding obstacles. The mop is only good for light cleaning and

The Narwal Freo X Plus is an inexpensive way to get vacuuming and mopping in a robot vac, but it’s a bit flawed. While the vacuuming is good on hard and carpeted surfaces and its petite base station makes it easy to install just about everywhere, its mopping capability is just okay and it doesn’t

The Eureka J20 is a technologically-advanced robot vacuum that delivers strong suction and very effective mopping, thanks to an innovative roller mop design. The vacuum is straightforward to set up, although room mapping takes a certain amount of technical knowhow. Floors are left swept and clean, even when stains are more stubborn than average. Pros

It can even vacuum corners. However, it’s very pricey and has some serious issues with being able to separate the rooms in its map that will bug

The Ecovacs Deebot T30S Combo is an almost perfect robot vacuum. It’s fully featured with its own voice assistant, retractable mop pads that regularly get washed (and dried), and solid mapping capabilities. And it does a great job of cleaning, including edges. It does come at a premium price, though, and its hot water mop

The Roomba Combo J9 Plus delivers pretty much everything you could want from a high-end robot vacuum and mop. It offers powerful suction, smart scrubbing, and clever object detection, which enables it to seek out and clean the dirt and debris in your home while avoiding obstructions. In addition, the charging dock not only look

With excellent mopping, a long battery life, a mop cleaning base station with a handy touchscreen, and an intuitive app, the Narwal Freo has a lot on offer. However, given the mediocre vacuum performance and the lack of an auto-emptying dust bin, combined with a high price tag, this robot vacuum leaves something to be

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T20 is pricey but has a lot to offer including generally great vacuuming and mopping. It runs fairly quietly as well. Like most robot vacuums, the edge cleaning leaves something to be desired. And, though its hot water mop washing is a nice addition and more than a gimmick, it does create
