Best Roomba Robot Vacuums and Mopses

The Dreamebot Braava Jet m6 is an impressive robot that can mop and vacuum without soaking your rugs. This robot uses advanced navigation, similar to iRobot s9 and i7+, to map your home and save a cleaning map you can customize.

1. iRobot i1

The iRobot i1 robot vacuum also mopses. It can be controlled via the iRobot app or via voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It's a bit less expensive than premium Roomba models, such as the i8+, j7+, or s9+ and has many of the same features, but doesn't have the advanced navigation features that more expensive models provide.

It does a good job cleaning bare floors but not so much for carpeting. It's great for tile and laminate flooring and comes with a cleaning head that can be inserted into corners. It can be set to clean specific rooms or areas of your home, and allows the creation of virtual boundaries to stop it from entering rooms that you don't want to.

The i1 is also compatible with a self-emptying dirt compartment which allows you to not have to manually empty its trash each time it runs out of room. It's relatively easy to maintain, though you do have to empty out its brushes on a weekly basis. Its vSLAM navigation utilizes cameras instead laser sensors. This means it takes longer to map rooms and does not detect furniture as well as the more expensive Roomba model.

If you do have problems with your iRobot, the manufacturer provides free replacement parts and other assistance for a year if you sign-up for its Irobot Price Select membership. The plan does come with some limitations that include not covering theft, mysterious disappearance, or loss of the device, and it doesn't substitute the standard 1-year manufacturer warranty.

irobot cleaner I7+

Watching a Roomba clean a floor is mesmerizing, but the way the i7+ accomplishes the task may be even more amazing. While the more affordable Roomba 690 and Eufy RoboVac 11s bounce around like a pool ball, hopping from one end of the room to the other and sometimes getting stuck under furniture, the i7+ works in a methodical, logical manner. It starts by vacuuming in rows across the floor, then works along the edges of rooms. It will pause if the battery runs out or the dirt bin is full, and then resume work the point where it started when recharged. It also keeps a permanent map of a room. This means that if you alter the layout or move furniture the i7+ will modify its map the next time.

The i7+ can be controlled remotely via the iRobot Home App, without needing to be physically present. You can schedule cleaning sessions for specific rooms, or set up virtual boundaries to keep the Roomba out of certain areas. You can also look through Roomba's history of cleaning jobs and check its status and battery level.

The i7+ costs more than the 981 but has better performance on bare flooring as well as a larger dustbin and the ability to automatically empty the dirt compartment into the larger dirtbag that is built-in into its charging dock. The iRobot is also more durable and has a longer battery life and charges more quickly than the Shark. The i7+ is also able to remove more debris from low pile carpets and can also set up a virtual barrier lines by using the irobot price Home App. The i7+ robot vacuum isn't ideal for pet owners or people with hair that is long. Its sweeping brush is likely to get tangled with hair, and you'll have to flip it over to clean its moving parts from time to time.

iRobot S9+

The irobot roomba mop and vacuum S9+ or Baby Rocky as my three-year old refers to it, does an excellent job of cleaning floors that are bare. It clears away a mix of types of debris and has the strongest suction we've tested in a commercial-grade robot. It's a luxurious feel and has an extended battery life, allowing it to clean a large room without running out of power.

It is based on iAdapt 3.0 Navigation with vSLAM, which allows it to quickly understand the structure of your home and builds personal Smart Maps that enable it to navigate effectively in neat rows. Imprint Link technology is used to automatically vacuum after cleaning. It's the first iRobot robot to have an elongated body that allows it to go closer to corners and edges than round robots such as the Neato Botvac D7.

We found the iRobot more user-friendly and intuitive than its predecessors. It's compatible with voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant, and it comes with a range of customizable settings including the ability to alter its cleaning power. The iRobot App also allows you to create a list of the rooms you want to clean. This is useful when you need to have your robot focus on a particular area.

The S9 may occasionally be a nuisance to cords, toys and power cords. It also makes a lot of noise when vacuuming, and it occasionally gets stuck on larger obstacles like couch legs. It never lost charge during cleaning and was quick to return to its charging dock for the dirt to be sucked into a storage bin. This self-docking and cleaning function is a big step up from earlier iRobots that needed to be manually emptied after every use.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra has a mobile application and is integrated with Alexa and Google Assistant. You can begin cleaning sessions by tapping the screen of your smartphone or by making a voice command. The robot has a limited number of physical controls. The majority of functions are controlled via the app, however, there are a few buttons including a leave button, which forces the unit to leave the base station, as well as a clean button, start an overall cleaning process.

The L10s Ultra robot vacuum and mopper is the sole one in our rankings to offer a docking station that can be self-emptying and refilling itself. This means you can leave your robot in peace for up to 60 days without having to empty the dust bag or refill the water tank.

The Dreametech L10s Ultra also has some of the most advanced AI features in its class. It utilizes an RGB camera and 3D-structured light to understand your home's layout, create custom cleaning strategies, and generate routes based on obstacles, flooring type, and room configurations. This helps to avoid missed spots, repeated cleans and frustrations caused by getting lost or stuck.

In our tests the robot was able to detect legs that are thin with ease. It can get caught in cables or socks that are lying on the ground. Thankfully, this is easily remediated by turning off object recognition in the application.

Privacy is a concern for some people, but we didn't have any major issues with the camera of the Dreametech L10s Ultra. The privacy policy of the company is clear: they do not store any photos taken with your camera. You can disable the room recognition and object avoidance in the app, if you don't want these features enabled.

5. Eufy 11S

The Eufy 11S is a streamlined robot vacuum that efficiently collects fine dust and large particles from hard floors. It's great for daily cleanings however it's not as effective in cleaning corners or edges. It's easy to use with an remote control, and has several cleaning modes that can be automated. It doesn't come with an app, which means it's not able to create virtual barriers, monitor accessory life or review the history of cleaning. The 11S is a good option for those who want a basic, affordable and stress-free robot.

The 11S is a slim model with a height of just 7.2 cm. This makes it possible to be placed under furniture that is low and easily overhang doors. It also has big and stable wheels, so it can easily take on carpets and rugs with high pile. The dirt compartment is bigger than other models, which means it needs to be cleaned less often. The remote can be used to control a variety of settings, including various power modes and automated schedules. The 11S also features an edge cleaning mode that can be manually controlled and a spot cleaner. The 11S can also be tethered to its docking station using the included zip tie.

The RoboVac 11S, which is eufy as compared to the ILIFE a4s is superior at removing pet hair from floors that are unfinished. It also struggles less with large pieces of debris. It is also simpler to maintain, more durable, and has lower recurring costs. It delivers superior performance across all types of flooring. It has a longer life battery and is more convenient to move around. It doesn't have a smart pathing feature but it does offer a range of other conveniences like a self-emptying dust bin and a remote with directional buttons. It also comes with an upgraded HEPA filter and allergen-trapping filtration system than the ILIFE A4s.
