Some even return to their dock after they have completed a cleaning job and are therefore ideal for homes with multiple floors.

The best robot vacuum and mop robot vacuums have numerous features that enhance their mapping and navigation capabilities, including sensors that detect furniture and walls and camera-based systems that generate an interactive room map.

Roomba 960 from iRobot

The newest Roomba from iRobot is the 980 and it boasts impressive cleaning powers. It's a great option for pet owners who struggle to keep up with shedding dogs and cats. The 980 can pick-up dander, fur, and other messes that shed pets leave behind, saving hours of cleaning time.

The 980 utilizes advanced mapping technology, in contrast to other robotic vacuums that follow random patterns to map your floor plan. This enables it to clean efficiently. It can also detect dirt and increase suction power when needed. In our tests, we found that the 980 was able to clean a 470 square foot area in less than two hours.

The user-friendly and stylish application of the 980 allows you to create schedules and adjust your robot mop's settings. The app also comes with an enormous Clean button that can be used to turn on the device remotely. It can be paired with Google Assistant or Alexa so that voice control is possible.

While the iRobot Roomba 980 works brilliantly on tiles and hard floors It shines when it comes to carpets. It can sense when it enters carpeted terrain and its Gen 3 motor will start, delivering high-powered agitation and powerful suction.

The only problem with the iRobot Roomba is that it doesn't always succeed in finding all of the dirt spots in your carpets. This is especially true when your carpets or furniture contain seams that trap dirt and dust. If you have many areas that are difficult to reach, we recommend pairing the 980 with another vacuum, such as the Roborock RCV 5.

Furthermore, additional sensors keep the machine from falling or bumping into furniture.

It took the RCV 5 minutes to map my home's floors using LiDAR technology. Additionally, you can set separate cleaning parameters for each room (e.g. a specific mopping or vacuum setting). It also helps to define areas that you don't want the robot to travel, such as the dog bed or children's play area.

In the initial test, I instructed the RCV 5 to sweep my living room floor and then switch over to a wet cleaning mode in the kitchen. It was able to do this without difficulty, and the dirt and dust picked up was impressive. I then tossed a handful oatmeal across the kitchen floor and observed as it made clear paths through them without missing any area of the room.

I was also awed by the RCV 5's mopping capability. It has a simple wiper plate that is able to be positioned at the bottom of the tank. This creates pressure and dampens your cloth. You can control the amount of water flow on the app, although you must keep the tank filled with clean water to get the best automatic vacuum and mop results.
