The iRobot Roomba Mop

The perfect solution for busy families is a robot vacuum that also mop. It's great for kitchens, bathrooms and mudrooms.

It has smart mapping scheduling, scheduling, and virtual No-Mop Zones managed within the application. It also has a Clean Base that automatically emptys and refills, as well as re-equips for up to 60 days.

Powerful suction

The iRobot Robot Vacuums: Effortless Cleaning for Any Home roomba mop is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that provides a powerful, hands-free clean. It is the first mop and vacuum that features a three-stage method of cleaning. The technology used to eliminate dust and dirt is patent-pending. It also has suction capacity of 8,000 Pa that is superior to most vacuum cleaners. It's compatible with a wide range of flooring options, including wood, stone tiles vinyl, laminate and vinyl. It also comes with a reusable microfiber mop pad that is washable and reusable. The iRobot HOME App gives you control from any device and allows you to schedule, personalize and choose the rooms you would like to be cleaned.

It utilizes a smart mapping technology that learns and maps your home quickly, giving you the best possible cleanliness. It can also be programmed to start mopping as soon as it finishes vacuuming and the built-in sensor recognises the floors that are bare and it doesn't require you to specify where it should go. It also comes with a Precision Jet Spray to deal with sticky kitchen grease and sticky messes.

The Combo Essential robot mop and vacuum cleaner has been designed smartly to perform in a way that has never been done before. It is intelligent enough to avoid obstacles such as backpacks, cords and pet toys. It also can avoid shoes and towels. It knows how to reach those difficult-to-access places under furniture with its smart navigation, which cleans neatly and systematically. It also works with voice assistants and the iRobot HOME App to give you complete control.

The iRobot is the simplest robotic mop that we've tried. Attach an cleaning pad, either disposable or reusable, with cleaner and water. Place it on the floor. Press the button and let it work. If the battery is empty the robot stops and recharges.

The app's tabs allow users to easily access everything. The intuitive touchscreen makes it simple to navigate. There's a big Clean button to launch your robot, and there are tabs for History, Schedule and Smart Maps and Help. You can also set up an orderly cleaning schedule or label rooms. The iRobot will begin automatically when you're away.

Flexibility

The iRobot Braava Jet M6 is a robot mop-not a vacuum-that is designed to tackle sticky spills and other household grime. It zips across hard surfaces (no carpeting) taking care to sweep up dust and dirt, then sprays water and cleaning solution onto its pads and scrubs the floor. After the pad is fully saturated, it quickly dries thanks to a quiet fan. The bot then drives back to its dock, where it sucks up the soiled liquid and refills with fresh cleaning solution. Repeats this process until it doesn't discover any stain or dirt, or until the battery runs out.

While it's best suited for clean flooring, the m6 is well with navigating through rugs. It's not a robot that you can operate without touching. You'll need to connect a cleaning mat (disposable, or reusable and reusable - iRobot offers both) and then fill the reservoir with cleaning solution and water. The cost of cleaning solutions and additional pads is a constant cost, just as the dock and small reservoir are subject to regular maintenance.

Like the Roomba Combo j7+, the m6 is an excellent alternative for people with large homes that require the flexibility of both mopping and vacuuming. The Clean Base automatically empties, refills, and re-fills the liquid and debris for up to 60 consecutive days. iRobot OS allows you to create specific cleaning preferences for each room. You can even control the m6 with your voice when it's connected to Wi-Fi, and paired with an Alexa or Google Assistant device.

Imprint Smart Mapping is another feature of the m6, allowing it to understand the layout of your home 7x faster than the older models. This technology lets the m6 recognize your furniture, and create maps to provide an easier and more precise clean. It can even avoid areas that you've told it to stay clear of such as pets' dishes or toys. This is a fantastic feature for homeowners who aren't able to maintain their homes regularly. The m6 can also be set to start with a vacuum and then mop afterward, or mop and vacuum simultaneously.

Simple to use

The iRobot Braava Jet 240 robot mop is one of the most user-friendly robot mop. It comes with a small reservoir of water and cleaning solution, that is refillable with a tap. It is suitable for use on unfinished floors or with low-pile area rug, however it does not vacuum. Its clever features include a pad that can be reused that is easy to alter cleaning schedules in the app, and a useful feature that lets you deactivate automatic emptying (a noisy sound that could wake your pets or children). It also has better mopping capabilities than the majority of robot mops we've test.

It uses hot air to dry the pads (hotter than any other robot) which allows them to remain cleaner for a longer period of time. It comes with large dirt tank that is easily removable so you can check what it has collected. You can select from three cleaning options, and alter the flow of water to your liking. The mops come with a smart mopping system which allows them to clean different areas on your floor.

The mops can be programmed so that they start when you've finished vacuuming and the app allows you to customize and program your settings from anywhere in the world. Its vSLAM navigation system is sophisticated enough to map and label rooms with up to 90 percent accuracy. It can even tell the presence of rugs in a room and avoid it.

This is the only robot that cleans the bottom tray of the pad, which is an added bonus. The app is simple to use and set up. It's easy to find cleaning solutions and pads for replacement.

The Braava Jet has a limited capacity for battery and water, so it can only clean one room. It also does not do a great job cleaning grout lines or avoiding furniture legs, and its tiny opening makes it difficult to add the recommended bottle cap-sized dose of cleaning solution without spilling it.

Cost

Consider the new iRobot Braava jet for a robotic mop to take the stress out of cleaning your floors. It's cheaper than other models, simple to use, and has an excellent cleaning performance. This model is ideal for those who frequently clean smaller areas like your kitchen or living room. It also comes with a reversible pad that you can put in the washing machine or refill with fresh water. However, it's not maintenance-free since you'll have to clean the water tank that is dirty and replace the mop pads on a regular basis.

The iRobot Combo j5+ is an excellent vacuum and mop combination that's intelligent enough to recognize obstacles such as cords, pet waste. It can vacuum up dust, dirt and other debris, and then scrub your floors with the special cleaning solution. It is designed to clean carpeted and un-floored floors, and also maneuver through furniture and rug. It also detects when the vacuum is about to begin and will automatically retract its mop head up to the top.

It is an excellent choice for those with allergies as it doesn't contain harsh chemicals. It also has a reversible mop pad that can be cleaned and replaced in a snap, meaning it's a great alternative to traditional spray-on mops. You can buy it online or in a store.

The latest iRobot robotic mop comes with the most modern cleaning technology, premium auto-cleaning and maintenance features, and an intuitive app. It's among the top two-in-one floor cleaners available. The price is right, too: it's on sale at Amazon at the moment for a limited period of time. If you don't want to spend this much, the earlier version with the clean base is also worth considering.
