The Roomba Combo j9+ is one of the most sophisticated 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop cleaners currently on the market. It features a sleek, self-emptying Clean Base that can hold up to two mopping cycles. It's designed to look and feel like a small desk. It's also the sole robot mop we've tested that comes with an onboard water reservoir to automatically wash and refill the cleaning pads after each autonomous vacuum and mopping cycle.

The mopping arm is placed on top of the unit until it is able to detect hard floors, and then it lowers to begin scrubbing. It moves slowly and cautiously over surfaces to ensure that it doesn't accidentally spill wet spills or mud across carpeted areas. It is capable of staying clear of the way of furniture, cords, and other obstacles.

In contrast to other mopping and vacuum robots, the Roomba J9+ makes an entire map of your house 7x faster than previous models and categorizes each area by floor type, ensuring that it'll always be aware of when to vacuum or mop the area you want. It also comes with a brand new Turbo Mode which boosts suction power for tough places. With iRobot's Dirt Detective, it can learn your cleaning habits and preferences to automatically adjust cleaning priorities and settings, including mop scrubbing for the dirtiest areas of your home.

2. Yeedi M12 Pro+

With its premium features and user-friendly app control and user-friendly app controls, the Yeedi M12 Pro+ is an impressive competitor in the field of automatic vacuum and mop robots.

Its advanced mopping features include dual spinning pads and electronically controlled water, as well as a "True Edge" Adaptive Edge Mopping System that ensures thorough cleaning of all edges.

In terms of navigation In terms of navigation, the M12 utilizes LiDAR, IR, and 3D structured light to avoid obstacles. Its sensors do a good job of detecting large objects, such as furniture and HVAC vents. However, they struggle with smaller objects like cables and small rags which can cause the robot vacuum cleaner reviews to miss spots.

The M12 can also detect and navigate through stairs with its built-in inclinometer. It can also automatically return to its OMNI station to wash and dry its mop brushes, and then refill its water tanks. When the batteries run out and the OMNI Station is empty, the OMNI Station can even clean itself and empty the trash bin when its batteries are empty.

3. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra robot cleaner is at the cutting edge of robotic hoovers cleaning. It packs a variety of features in a tiny package. It comes with a large mopping capacity as well as camera capabilities to assist in avoiding obstacles. It also comes with a powerful vacuum that detects when it is going over carpets. It also comes with advanced intelligence and voice assistant capabilities.

It is a great vacuum and mop, completing our 1,500-square-foot test area in just 101 minutes before running out of battery and returning to its dock. Its mop cleans itself between uses, which reduces the cost of maintenance and helps keep the pads clean. In addition to this, there is a dock sensor that detects when the mop pad is dirty and triggers washing to keep it clean.

The S8 MaxV Ultra, like its predecessors, features an intelligent system that can detect things that are commonplace, like shoes and pet waste using cameras and LIDAR. It did well in our obstacle avoidance evaluation with just one minor glitch during my tests (it got stuck unwinding a ball of wool that was wrapped around its brush arm).

The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with a suction capacity of 10,000pa, which is nearly twice more powerful than its predecessor. This makes it an excellent option for homes with carpeting in abundance and various types of flooring. The vacuum can be programmed to automatically increase suction when it comes across crumbs or dust.

Like previous models, multiple docking stations are able to be set up to make it easier to clean and mop process. The docking station can be connected to the home plumbing system and drain and refill the water tank after you're done.

5. Eufy S1 Pro

The Eufy S1 Pro has been designed to be an extremely powerful mop and vacuum combo that is also user-friendly. The gunmetal base station fills its own tank of clean water, empties the dust bin into a smaller container, and washes and dries its own mop pads during cleaning sessions. It has advanced features that allow it to switch between carpets and hard surfaces, and eliminate pet hair from carpets and clean thresholds for rooms that are raised.

The S1 Pro's navigation and mapping are top-quality, with the internal dToF LiDAR device allowing it to maintain the appearance of a slim profile while delivering top-notch objects avoidance. It drives close to walls without crashing and avoiding steps, and it can also raise its mop when driving over rugs or short-pile carpets. However, it did struggle a little when encountering longer-pile carpets as well as large, thick messes of dried-on debris.
