i5+

The i5+ vacuum cleaner is a self-emptying robot vacuum that automatically dumps its debris into a homebase when it has finished. It also has a separate wet bin that holds the cleaning solution and water to mop.

While this irobot shop vacuum mop robot is great at doing a good job at cleaning hard floors however, it's not the best rated roomba vacuum choice for rooms with carpets because it lacks the smarter Combo J7+'s ability to avoid mopping areas with an exclusive set of mop zones. It's also difficult to set up as the software requires that the home base be sitting in a non-carpeted area. The printed materials provide little details on how to fix wifi connectivity issues, which is frustrating.

It takes time to learn the layout of your home but once it has it's astonishingly efficient. Utilizing Imprint Smart Mapping, it retains the layout of rooms so that you can tell it to clean specific rooms with a single tap on the app. We tested it by telling it to clean the kitchen and living room, and it efficiently managed the two floors without much effort.

In contrast to our previous top pick, the Eufy RoboVac 11s, it didn't struggle with dust bunnies under the sofa, and picked up a heap of breadcrumbs, without spreading them. The only drawback we noticed was that the sweeping brush gets caught up in long hair. You'll need untangle it often. However it's a great choice. i7+ is an excellent choice for anyone who wants an automated vacuum that can be used in homes with a lot of traffic without manual intervention.
