2. Shark ION

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic model that comes with a lot of features. It has a long running time and does a great job cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It is a great app and is well used with Alexa. It does not have the mapping capabilities and other advanced controls you will find in more expensive competitors.

This robot vacuum features powerful motors and multi-surface brush rolls that get into corners and cracks to make sure your home is clean. It also has bumper sensors to avoid collisions, as well as an lower cliff sensor that stops the robot from falling down the stairs. It can even be programmed to run a single room or a set of rooms at scheduled intervals. It is also capable of resuming cleaning that were stopped midway through.

While the Shark ION is very effective on floors that are clean, it does struggle to remove pet hair and other fine particles on carpeted areas. It is also prone to getting stuck under furniture. However, it does a decent job of avoiding obstacles, and it has a long runtime of up to 90 minutes.

This robot's easy-to-use user interface is among its greatest features. You can either use the round cleaning button at the top of the unit to begin a cleaning, or launch the Shark ION App on your smartphone and issue it a command. The app will then tell you how much battery 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 customers liked about this robot is its ability to work with Alexa. This vacuum can be switched off and on with a simple voice command. It is also possible to schedule cleaning times using the app. The only thing we didn't love about this vacuum was that it took a more time to charge compared to other models we've looked at. Additionally the two hand vac attachments included don't fit into the base and can easily be lost.

3. Samsung Jet Bot AI+

This Samsung model is not only an excellent robotic vacuum cleaner, but it also doubles as a camera for monitoring your home. It has a lens which you can access through your phone, and is designed to monitor the surrounding area of your home. You can also create a schedule of when you want it to patrol the home when you are away. This is a great option for pet owners who shed or you want to keep an eye out for anyone who might be sneaking into.

Samsung Jet Bot AI+ includes a variety of features that include object recognition home monitoring, self-emptying dust bins, and five layers filtration. It's an excellent choice for those looking for an expensive model that excels at cleaning hard floors, but don't mind a little dust on carpets.

The advanced obstacle avoidance of this robot is among its most impressive features. It utilizes a combination sensors and artificial intelligence to scan the surroundings and detect objects. It either navigates around the object or marks it as a no go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots, making the Samsung the best robot vacuum mop combo option for your home.

This model is not very adept in spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered on it. The robot was unable take up or push the rice grains. This is a disappointing test given that other models have done better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap when compared to its competitors. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance at a lower price. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a highly rated robotic vacuum that offers similar features for half the cost.

Like other Samsung smart devices, this robot is controlled by the SmartThings app. The setup process is easy with in-app prompts to guide you through it. The app lets you view the map, create cleaning schedules, adjust suction power, select no-go zones, and manage other settings.
