The Roborock Q7 L5 Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo stands out with its strong 8,000 Pa suction, which is excellent for lifting dust, pet hair, and debris even from carpets. It features a precision LiDAR navigation system that scans your home in 360° for efficient cleaning routes and can save multiple floor maps, great for multi-level homes. The dual anti-tangle brushes help prevent hair wrap, meaning the vacuum runs smoothly and needs less upkeep. Its 270 ml water tank allows it to vacuum and mop at the same time, making it handy for dealing with both dust and light stains on hard floors.
The iRobot Roomba 104 is a strong choice if you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mops. It boasts 70 times more suction than some older models, making it effective at picking up dirt and dust on all floor types, including carpets and hard floors. The battery lasts about 120 minutes, which should be enough for a typical home, and the vacuum can empty its dirt bin into a base bag that lasts up to 75 days—this means much less frequent emptying and less exposure to dust.
The iRobot Roomba 105 is a solid choice if you want a robot vacuum that offers strong cleaning performance without complicated setup. It boasts 70 times more suction power than older Roomba models, which means it can handle dirt and dust on various floor types effectively. The LiDAR navigation system smartly maps your home and guides the vacuum in neat, efficient rows, avoiding obstacles and stairs to prevent falls. Battery life is quite good for its category, lasting up to 200 minutes, and it automatically returns to its docking station to recharge and resume cleaning, which adds convenience. The dustbin is bagless, making emptying simple, although its exact capacity isn’t very large, so frequent emptying might be needed in bigger homes.
