The robot will automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes depending on the contents of the bin.

This is an excellent choice for pet owners but would like the convenience of a mop and vacuum combinator.
2. Shark ION
The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model, but it comes with lots of features. It offers a long-lasting run time and is able to clean both bare floors and carpeted rooms. It also has a useful app that is compatible with Alexa. It lacks the mapping features and other advanced controls that are found in the more expensive competitors.
This robotic vacuum has an extremely powerful motor that has multi-surface brush rolls that reach into cracks and corners to ensure your home is truly clean. It has bumper sensors that help it avoid collisions, and the lower cliff detector that helps stop the robot from falling. It can be programmed to clean a room or set of rooms on a regular basis.
The Shark ION is very effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it struggles to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It also gets stuck under furniture. automatic vacuum cleaner is capable of avoiding obstructions, and runs for 90 minutes.
The user interface of this robot is simple to use and is among its most appealing features. You can either press the circular cleaning button located at the top of the unit to start cleaning, or simply launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. After you've completed that, the app will display the current battery level and the status of the vacuum, as well as whether it's completed a complete or partial cleaning session.
Many of the customers also appreciated the fact that this robotic can be controlled by Alexa. The vacuum can be turned off and on by simply speaking. You can also schedule cleaning times by using the app. The one thing we didn't like about this robot was that it took a little more time to charge as compared to other models that we've tested. Additionally the two hand vac attachments included don't fit into the base and are easily lost.
3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+
Besides being a top-rated robot vacuum, this Samsung model can also be used as a camera for home monitoring. It comes with a lens that which you can access through your phone, and is designed to monitor your home's surroundings. You can even set up a timer for when you would like it to monitor the house while you are away. This is especially useful for pets that shed or if you want to watch out for anyone sneaking in.
Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features, including object recognition home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtration. It's a good option for those looking for an exceptional vacuum that is able to perform on hard floors, but isn't afraid of a little dust on carpets.
One of the most impressive attributes of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and identify objects. It can either navigate around the object or declares it a no go zone on the map. This feature is not available on other robots, making the Samsung the best option for your home.
This model isn't very efficient in spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice grains across carpet with a low pile and then sending the robot to clean. The robot was unable to take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test given that other models have performed better in this test.
It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that offers the same features at a fraction of the price.
As with other Samsung smart devices, this robot can be controlled through the SmartThings app. It is easy to set up thanks to the in-app prompts. The app lets you look at the map, set the cleaning schedules, adjust suction power and zones of no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also displays the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin needs to be emptied.

Its unique Matrix Clean Navigation uses a grid pattern to ensure every space in your home is cleaned, and it also has the ability to recognize stairs. It has an integrated remote that makes it simple to adjust settings.
