The robot automatically switches from mopping to vacuuming mode according to the contents of its bin.

2. Shark ION

The Shark ION is a basic robot vacuum cleaner with an impressive amount of features for the price. It offers a long-lasting run time and it is able to clean carpeted and bare floors rooms. It has a good app that works well combined with Alexa. However, it does not have the ability to map, as well as other advanced controls of expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum is outfitted with a powerful motor as well as a multi-surface brush roller that can reach into cracks and corners. It will ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned. It also includes bumper sensors to keep out collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that prevents the robot from falling down the stairs. It is also programmed to run a specific room or set of rooms in scheduled intervals and is capable of resuming cleaning sessions were stopped midway through.

The Shark ION is extremely effective at cleaning bare floors. However, it struggles to remove pet hairs and fine debris from carpeted surfaces. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. It does a good job of avoiding obstructions, and runs for 90 minutes.

One of the best things about this robot is its simple-to-use interface. You can either press the round button on the top of the unit to initiate cleaning, or open the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue the command. The app will then tell you how much battery is remaining and the status of the vacuum. It will also inform you if the cleaning session has been completed or not.

Another thing that a lot of users liked about this model is its ability to work with Alexa. You can turn this vacuum on and off with the simple voice command and you can also make use of the app to plan cleaning times. The only issue we have found with this model is that it takes a little longer to charge than some of the other models we've reviewed, and the two included hand vac attachments can't fit inside the base and can be lost easily.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not just the top-rated robotic vacuum cleaner and also functions as a camera for monitoring your home. It comes with a lens you can access via your phone and is designed to watch the area around your home. You can set a timer to watch your home even when you're away. This is great for pet owners who shed or if you want to keep an eye out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a high-end model that comes with a host of features, including object recognition, home monitoring, a self-emptying dust bin, and five layers of filtering. It's a great choice for those who want an excellent model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but who don't mind some dust on carpets.

One of the greatest attributes of this robot is its superior obstacle avoidance. It utilizes sensors and artificial intelligence in combination to scan the surroundings and identify items. Then it either moves around them or marks them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung an ideal choice for your home.

On the contrary this model doesn't perform very well on spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice grains on carpets with low pile and sending the robot in to clean. The robot was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance at a lower price. For instance, you could purchase a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features for half the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.

The SmartThings application is used to control the robot, as with other Samsung smart products. The setup process is easy thanks to the in-app instructions. The app allows you to view the map, create cleaning schedules, alter suction, select no-go areas, and manage other settings. It also shows the current status of your robot and lets you see when the dustbin needs to be empty.

It's available now for nearly half the cost and has four different cleaning modes. The dust bin for the vacuum is easy to empty, and the mopping tank holds up to 200 milliliters (or 7 ounces).

In the last year, we tried this robot in our Cleaning Lab and found it to be extremely effective on both low-pile and hard floors.

It can also be controlled by voice. You can begin and stop a cycle of cleaning by using an app for your tablet or phone. The app allows you to set a cleaning routine and select a cleaning mode.
