Robot vacuums that mop floors are a specialization. They are usually more expensive than regular robot vacuums, and come with several additional features that help you get your floor clean without lifting a finger.

This model comes with an efficient motor, a large bin that can hold up to 2.6 gallon and an auto-emptying base. It also comes with a cleaning solution bottle that is refillable and comes with mopping pads that can be reused.

You can modify your home map and set up cleaning schedules from any location. You can also mark rooms, designate "no-go zones" and indicate the locations carpets that the robot is not allowed to mop. This feature is particularly useful if you have children and pets that need to be kept from certain areas of your home.

Connect your robot vacuum to your mobile device's Wi-Fi network after downloading the app. Once connected, you can choose to personalize your robot by giving it its name. You can also upload photos and videos to your profile for a more personalized experience. You can use the app to control a robot vacuum cleaner even when you are not at home.

In its initial run the robot will map your floor to create a thorough house map of the area. This map helps the vacuum to navigate through your home and perform its job efficiently. This will help the vacuum to avoid tripping over furniture and cords. It is crucial to keep your home spotless so that the robot's mapping remains precise.

You can tap the "Refresh Map button" in the app to update the map whenever it's time to change the pad of the robot. This will refresh the map and ensure that your mopping pattern remains precise. After mopping, the robot will return to its dock and complete its dustbin by another vacuuming cycle. This can be a bit annoying, since the smaller dustbin can fill up very quickly and you will have to empty it often.

Self-emptying bin

One of the major selling aspects of this Shark 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop is its self-emptying bin. When the robot finishes the cleaning process, it returns to its dock and a motor at the base pulls the debris into a container that you don't have to empty manually. This is something that we are beginning to consider a necessity for premium robot vacuums.

The bin comes with a bagless design, which means there aren't bags to purchase or replace. The bin is also big enough to accommodate up to 60 days worth of debris.

In tests the bin held up well and was easily empty after each use. I was especially impressed with the way the vacuum picked up pet hair tumbleweeds. The app made it simple to pick various cleaning patterns. The robot also did an excellent job of cleaning up spills and other household dirt.

The bundle comes with some extras, such as a side brush as well as an additional mop pad along with a bottle of cleaner solution. The mop pad is unique in that it can be washed and is able to keep clean. The small dustbin of the robot fills quickly but you shouldn't have to empty it as often if you sweep and vacuum first.

The app is easy to navigate and allows you to set up a weekly schedule. It also includes an interactive map that shows the areas that the robot has cleaned. You can also create no-go zones. It also comes with a feature that lets you know the status of all the sensors on the robot.

While it's a decent vacuuming and mopping robot but it's not very effective on carpet. It's not able to recognize or raise the mop pad once it gets close to carpet, so you'll have to set no-go zones in the app or manually remove the mop pad if you want to vacuum.

Contrary to some 2-in-1 robot vacuums, which simply drag mopping pads that are wet across the floor, this unit actually scrubs the floor with its mop pad, which is reusable. It also comes with a bottle of cleaning solution for a deeper clean. Camryn Rabideau, a freelance writer who tests products and specializes in homewares is a product tester.

Its maneuverability is excellent as well and it is able to go over couches and furniture without getting stuck. However it did end up getting stuck on a tassel for a bath rug that bent bristles on the side of the brush.

The smart app offers a variety of control options and can be connected to your home Wi-Fi network for remote access. The app lets you set the time for when you want it to clean, alter its settings, and check its history of cleaning and charging status.
