Using an iRobot Floor Cleaner

The Braava Jet M6 is a highly efficient mopping robot that works well in most homes. It can be used with reusable pads which you can fill with water or a proprietary cleaning solution. Other cleaning solutions can damage the bot and invalidate its warranty.

It's not as efficient at crossing thresholds or maneuvering around rugs as mopping robots are designed to be. You'll need to empty the dock on a regular basis and replenish the water.

Easy to set up

The majority of robot vacuums and mops come with an app for your smartphone that lets you save home maps as well as create cleaning schedules, and select cleaning options. Some robot vacuums and mops work with voice commands to provide additional convenience. Others include remote controls. If you're concerned about privacy, you should look for models that allow you to use the app without a smartphone or don't require an internet connection.

Wall sensors assist the robot to avoid scuffing walls and navigate tight corners. The top models also come with wall and wheel sensors. Wall sensors help the robot avoid scuffing walls and navigating tight corners and wheel sensors assist the cleaner to follow a more precise route and uncover areas of your floor that it hasn't cleaned before.

Some robot cleaners come with dry sweeping that makes use of an reusable sweeping pad. Some have a combination vacuum and mopping system that can tackle wet spills, dirt and dust. Most also have a large bin for dirt as well as charging bases that double as a water reservoir that is clean and wash station for pads.

Robotic cleaners can become stuck on rugs or become caught in cords, and a few even end up lost. But you can prevent these pitfalls by preparing your floor and helping your robot find its way through your home.

During the last two years the former reviews analyst Jodhaira Rodriguez has been testing dozens of robot mop machines in the GH Cleaning Lab. She found that the best robot mops run a time of at least 90 minutes, which is sufficient to clean most homes one or twice a week. She also found that the best mops come with sensors that let them recharge and resume cleaning if they run out of power.

It is essential to use only water to fill the sweeping pad of many robot vacuums. Anything else could harm the internal components. If you do, it could cause the warranty to be voided.

The Roomba Combo J5 and Roomba J5+ are the only robots we have tested that utilize virtual-side-view mapping (VSLAM). VSLAM determines the robot's position in the room in real-time, which assists the robot in moving more efficiently. It steers clear of areas it knows it already vacuumed. It also helps the robot avoid areas where it might bump into furniture or other objects.

Work on hard floors and tiles

Maintaining your tile floors requires more than just vacuuming and mopping, but a high-quality robotic cleaner can make it all easier. The best robot cleaners are designed to scrub tile and hard surfaces thoroughly while keeping out common problems like pet hair and grout dirt. These cleaners typically use sophisticated navigation, powerful suction, as well as powerful debris removal to effectively remove dirt, dust hair, pet hair and other particles from the surface.

Many robot vacuums work well on bare flooring, but they aren't the best irobot for tile. They are prone to be stuck or get lost in crevices. Certain models are specifically designed for tile floors and perform exceptionally well.

Some are capable of scrubbing your tiles and grout with vibrating scrubbing. This feature is particularly useful to remove staining residues that stick to the floor and sticky stains, such as spills of syrup or coffee stains. The sonic vibration cleaning also helps remove dried food drops and footprints from the floor, which can often be overlooked by hybrid robots that drag a wet fabric across them.

If you have a mix of hard and carpeted floors, consider getting a robot that can determine the difference between the two to avoid getting your carpets wet. This is especially important if you intend to use the robot for vacuuming and mopping. Many hybrid robots automatically lift the mopping pad just a few millimeters off of the floor when carpet is detected, but you can also create "No Mop Zones" in your home with the iRobot Home app, which blocks off certain areas from being cleaned with water.

Other models, such as the Roborock Q5+ with its budget-friendly price, offer the same features but with a smaller selection however, they still maintain tile floors well. It utilizes LIDAR sensors to map the room and front-facing cameras to spot obstructions, such as cords or slippers. Its tiny dirt compartment however, requires frequent emptying and it has a tendency to get stuck on furniture more frequently than other vacuum/mop robotics.

The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus is the first hands-free robot that vacuums and mop in one and eliminates the need to remove the mop and then put it back on. Its smart navigation system lets you to program the robot vacuum and Braava robot mop together and then tell them where to clean using your voice or the irobot for hardwood floors app. The Roomba j7 Plus brush design minimizes the chance that your hardwood floors will be scratched. It makes use of a combination dual multi-surface rubber sweeping brushes and edge sweepers, along with a 100% stronger Power-Lifting Suction3 in order to discover every speck and dirt in gaps and corners.

Easy to clean

iRobot floor cleaners are easy to clean and use. They come with special microfiber pad that can tackle dirt, footprints and dust. They also come with a separate water tank that automatically cleans the pad after every cleaning session. In addition to that, the iRobot app lets you schedule and cancel cleaning sessions, create "clean zones" (like under your kitchen hob) and keep out zones (like around a table holding the vase that makes a statement).

The Roomba Combo J9+ is a powerful robot vacuum that doubles as a mop, changing the popular Roomba V7 and v7+ into a worry-free smart, all-in-one cleaning machine. Its sleek design and low-profile brushes make it perfect for hardwood floors. Its navigation technology lets it get into difficult-to-reach areas including corners and along walls. Its battery is also durable, with a battery life of over 90 minutes on one charge.

It also uses obstacle and cliff sensors to stay clear of obstacles and drop-offs. Additionally, it can identify straight lines and walls that it must follow to ensure a thorough clean. The wheels are also outfitted with sensors that detect friction, which lets it stop if a wheel gets stuck. The irobot vacuum cleaner and mop app is simple and user-friendly and has tabs for Schedule, History Smart Maps, Help, and Settings. The Schedule tab allows you to create and edit the schedule for cleaning and maintenance, while the History tab shows the layout of your home. Smart Maps let you mark areas you wish to keep clean, while the Help tab is home to care and maintenance manuals and an owner's guide along with FAQs and warranty information.

The SpinWave differs from other robotic cleaners due to the fact that it can utilize cleaning products. It comes with a test-size bottle of Bissell's Multi-Surface floor cleaner, and you can also purchase other floor and task-specific formulas through the app or online with a specific formula for tough messes and odors. It also has mopping mode, which can be used with or without a cleaning product.

Other features you should look for in an irobot floor cleaner include a pause button that stops the mop or vacuum when required and a power cord that retracts into the base to save space. Think about how easy it will be for you to empty and refill the tank, replace the pads for cleaning, charge and dock your device.

Easy to store

Like any robot that makes use of water, it's important to ensure that its mopping cloths and pads aren't left wet and sunk beneath the bot for too long. Bacteria thrive in damp, dark spaces, so it's a good idea to wash or at the very least clean the pads after each use. Dry them flat prior to your next cleaning session. "If your robot isn't able to clean the pads or cloths by itself, you should set them aside in some kind of open container with a lid, like an empty plastic bin or trash bag," says Real Simple contributor Barbara Bellesi Zito.

The iRobot Braava Jet 240, our upgrade pick and one of the top overall robots we've tested, has done excellent job of maintaining a baseline level of cleanliness in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms as well as mudrooms and entryways. It is also ideal for homes with mostly hard floors and no carpeting or rugs. This type of robot isn't quite as efficient at vacuuming and could be unable to navigate through thick stairs or area rugs, though it's still far more efficient than a standard vacuum and does a better job of removing messes caused by pets and children than a traditional vacuum.

Other features of this model include a clean Rock Dock that houses three plastic tanks. The large dock automatically empty the dust bin, automatically flushes dirty water from the mopping tank, as well as holding the clean water that is used to fill the robot for the next cleaning run. It is also equipped with an air conditioner that runs at a low-speed to quickly and gently remove the mopping pad from the robot after each use.

iRobot's app lets you control the power of the robot as well as adjust settings for different cleaning modes. You can make an outline map and set up zones for the robot to avoid areas you don't want it to clean. This makes this robot ideal for rooms that have a lot of furniture. It's also user-friendly and, as with other iRobot models, can work with both disposable and machine-washable mopping pads (you add the detergent yourself). If you're looking for cleaners with more advanced smarts, consider our top pick for the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni or a lidar robot that has a fast, all-home navigation such as the irobot robot Roomba 980.
