1. iRobot Roomba j7 Combo Plus

The Roomba j7 from iRobot Combo Plus is one of the best bagless robot vacuum for pet hair robots you can buy for both vacuuming and mopping. It has the same amazing navigation smarts as our top-rated Roomba v7, but includes mopping and the base station automatically emptys its dirt bin.

Its most impressive feature, however, is its ability to stay clear of obstacles. It takes photos of objects that it encounters during mapping and learns where they are in your home, so it can instruct the robot to clean up or stay clear of them. You can also make use of the app to draw a map of your home and pinpoint specific areas you want it to avoid. The j7+ will even provide a photo of each obstacle it has encountered, which lets you mark them as either permanent or temporary ways to avoid them.

In our tests it was able to overcome a myriad of household obstacles without getting stuck or chewing off cords and shoes as earlier models. It was able to avoid pet waste (although it did get caught up in socks and baseball hats). It also excelled in removing larger spills and crumbs.

This robot can be set to mop and vacuum on a regular basis, which is perfect for those who prefer the mopping option for your floors. It was a success in cleaning both surfaces in our apartment with hardwood floors and a few area rugs. The mops did take longer than we would prefer, but the floor was still clean.

It does a decent job of climbing on carpets with high piles and also may struggle to get rid of fine debris on this type of surface. It also has some issues with pet hair on this type of carpet however, it's far better than some competitors.

2. iRobot Roomba j9 Combo Plus

It can be set to repeat cleaning passes and examine your home to find out the rooms that are filthy. It also comes with a smart self-cleaning base station which will automatically empty the trash bags and replenish the water tank without any input from you.

The Combo J9's basic design blends black and silver. It has a single-button to start cleaning, as well a wall follow sensors and a status indicator.

It can be removed for easy cleaning. The SmartScrub feature from iRobot also mops floors with constant pressure, which results in a more thorough cleaning. The robot will also raise up the mop pad on rugs and carpets to avoid getting them wet.

In our tests during our tests, the Combo J9 proved a powerful bagless modern vacuum capable of pulling up massive quantities of debris. It also did a decent job of following the steps, walls, and furniture. However, it had a difficult time to pick up pet hair and dust from plush carpets. It was able to navigate obstacles, but took longer to finish its cleaning tasks than other robots.

The intelligent features of the j9 vacuum cleaner set it apart from others. Through its app, you can make a schedule that will clean certain rooms at certain times, view your cleaning history, and access details about the health of the product. You can also access advanced features, such as the ability to modify suction power.

3. iRobot DreameBot

The iRobot DreameBot mopping robot is one of the few smart sweepers that can also mop. It utilizes a 4.2-quart tank in its base to saturate its mop pads. Additionally, it will frequently return back to the base to wash away dirt and clean the pad. The DreameBot is also smarter than most other mopping robots in our tests and uses its lidar to map and modify rooms as it goes. Its AI-powered obstacle avoidance system worked well in our test room. It avoided cables and socks without becoming confused. It had some trouble with a stack of Cheerios, though.

The app provides an impressive amount of control and customization. It allows you to create virtual no-go zones and dynamic cleaning zones by rooms or floors. It also comes with a surprising amount of suction at 4000Pa. This is easily higher than the combined 2,000Pa of the Roomba 13 or Bissell SpinWave. The battery comes with a large capacity of 5200mAH. It will give you plenty of time for cleaning.

This model is compatible with iRobot OS, which means it will be updated to its software in the moment they become available. The app also gives you the option to send specific images of obstacles it encounters to the servers of iRobot which allows it to improve its algorithms. iRobot claims that it only uses the images of users who have opted to participate in this type of user-involved training and that they do not use them for any other purpose.

The DreameBot's physical controls are limited, with the majority of options being accessible from the iRobot Home app or via Alexa and Google Home. You can opt to manually clean a specific area, or start with a general cleaning. You can also vacuum or mop on one cycle. The app also lets users to set up a schedule for daily, weekly, and mopping cycles, or a manual cycle.

iRobot narwal

Once that's done it's time to begin cleaning by pressing an icon on the robot or its base station. A voice prompt will provide status updates and a screen at the base station will inform you of the progress of the work and battery levels.

When you hit the mopping button, two rotating pads are activated and the Narwal will head to the farthest point of its map, from where it will begin scrubbing. It is a very efficient scrub using 12 newtons on the pads as they spin. It only takes 16oz to clean a medium sized room.

The robot returns to the base station between mopping runs where it refills the microfiber pad and then rinses them. It can also wash its own pad brushes. This is ideal for those who prefer to avoid cleaning products. The Narwal uses sensors for dirt to determine areas that require more attention. Its intelligent mapping technology can also be adjusted for different surfaces.

5. iRobot Q5 Pro
