It automatically emptys the debris into a larger bin that is located in its charging station. This device can hold up 60 days of debris and is more convenient than the standard mop or vacuum which requires you to manually empty bins.
Unlike some competitors the model doesn't make use of precision vision. It rely on basic floor tracking algorithms-based navigation, and basic floor tracking. This means that it could miss a few spots in your home, and isn't as good in avoiding obstacles as other models. It's still a decent vacuum for most debris and it's available at an affordable price.

iRobot Roomba j9+
The Roomba j9+ successfully builds on past Roomba improvements. Its improved intelligence and superb cleaning ability make it stand out from all of its rivals. It's designed to effectively clean larger homes and those with pets, and tackles dust, dirt hairs, pet hair and more in both hard and soft floors. It's also the smartest iRobot Roomba ever, featuring advanced features such as Dirt Detective and mopping automation that can anticipate your cleaning needs.
The j9+, just like its predecessor, is equipped with iRobot PrecisionVision navigation technology that includes cameras to identify the presence of obstacles within your home. This lets the robot navigate around furniture, cords, shoes and wires and even pet urine (which it can identify because of iRobot's renowned P.O.O.P guarantee). The J9+ comes with smaller and more furniture-friendly Clean Base.
After your robot has cleaned an area, it docks to the Clean Base where its dirt bin is automatically empty. The iRobot Home app records the results of each cleaning task and shows cleaned areas on your map. The app lets you select a specific time to mopping and/or vacuuming.
If you select a specific time to mop or vacuum and vacuum, the iRobot Home app will let you know the estimated time to clean. You can also choose the number of passes to clean (1 2, or "room-size" which means that large rooms are cleaned once and smaller areas twice to three times). You can also control the level of water and power and bin behavior.
Another interesting feature is the iRobot app's image review capability. The robot will snap a picture of any obstacle it is unable to identify and send it to you for review. You can then mark the object as not being an obstacle or create an area for a Keep-Out Zone. The j9+ will be able to avoid the object in subsequent occasions.
A big reason we prefer the j9+ over other robot vacuums is the mopping functions that are automated. The j9+ automatically mops stubborn dirt and debris when you enable SmartScrub in the app. It also can detect and move away from wet spots, coffee spills and dirt. The j9+ doesn't wash its mop pad automatically unlike its competitors, even though it has a number of automatic mopping functions.

The SwitchBot is a great choice for people who love robot vacuum cleaners, but prefer the versatility and convenience of mop. This tiny robot blends the top features of both categories into a sleek unit that blends seamlessly into your home decor. It's a decent vacuum cleaner and mop. It can navigate your space across different surfaces. It also has a strong suction that tackles pet hair, dust and dust.
The SwitchBot's small size makes it ideal for areas that are cluttered where larger robots that vacuum and mop could struggle to navigate around furniture. Once you've set up the SwitchBot with your Wi-Fi network, it will display on your phone a set of quick controls – a button for starting an undertaking to clean and another to clear out any clutter. You can also set up zones that are not allowed to be used so that the bot won't accidentally sweep up items you don’t want it too.
In my tests of the SwitchBot, I found that the SwitchBot was able to move around my home without issues, and also picked up crumbs and dribbles from floors and carpets with the vacuum setting. Its smart navigation systems use LDS laser radar to make a map of your home, so it can accurately map out the layout. The system also detects and avoids objects likely to become stuck or crushed by the robot.
When the vac setting on, the SwitchBot's edge-sweeping brush spins and sweeps away any debris that crosses its path. It can also reach underneath chairs and tables, making it a great choice for homes that host a lot of family gatherings. You can adjust the speed, direction, and power of the vacuum motor through the app's settings.
When the SwitchBot is set to mop mode, it will have a disposable wipe on its underside that you can replace when they run out. The wipes are less costly and less wasteful than washable pads which are used by most robotic mop. The wipes are securely fit, preventing them from fall out as on other robot mops. The robot hoover and mop comes with an instrument for cleaning that is usually hidden within a compartment on the side of the charging unit.
