Eureka isn't a name most people think of when they're spending over $1,000 on a robot vacuum. That's starting to change.

The J15 Max Ultra is the brand's most ambitious machine yet, and on paper, it goes toe-to-toe with robots that cost significantly more. Its headline trick is IntelliView AI 2.0, which pairs infrared and FHD vision sensors to do something no other robot vacuum we've tested can reliably claim: detect transparent liquid spills. Clear water on white tile, a puddle of cooking oil on hardwood — the J15 Max Ultra sees them, pivots to mop first, and lifts the roller brush so the mess doesn't get sucked into the dustbin and spread around. It uses differences in surface reflection and texture to identify spills that would be essentially invisible to other robots. It's a quietly impressive feature that solves a real, annoying problem.

Beyond the spill detection, the J15 Max Ultra is loaded. Its 22,000 Pa suction is among the highest in the category, and its dual-extend system—SweepExtend for the side brush and ScrubExtend for the mop arm, both of which physically telescope outward—means corners and baseboards actually get cleaned, not just approached. The FlexiRazor hair-cutting system kept the roller brush impressively tangle-free over weeks of testing. The 8-in-1 base handles auto-mop washing, drying, water refilling, dirty-water draining, dust-emptying, charging, base-tray cleaning, and tray-dirt collection, genuinely covering all the maintenance bases.

Setting up the robot was physically easy, and the app quickly walked us through the technical aspects. Its navigational skills proved strong, as did its suction power, picking up loads of dog hair and muffin crumbs. However, it occasionally got stuck under the kitchen table among the chair legs, and it had a real habit of rolling over cords in the same spot. At the same time, other robots we tested, like the Roborock Saros 20, “learned” from their mistakes.

The robot's fixed LiDAR turret also means it can't duck under furniture lower than about 12 centimeters, which meant we needed to save it several times from beneath a settee, adding a hands-on aspect to this hands-off appliance. The mop pads are magnetically removable (a genuinely smart design for carpet-only zones), but they can and did pop off when the bot climbed from floor to carpet.

Eureka is still building its brand reputation in the premium tier, and the J15 Max Ultra's long-term reliability remains to be seen. But as a first-run flagship? It's a serious machine that punches well above its name recognition.

With previous iteration, the Roomba Combo j9+ (released back in 2023), iRobot leaned fully into autonomous cleaning, pairing it with the powerful vacuuming we’d seen in previous vacuum-only models and its first vacuum-mop hybrid, the Combo j7+. But the Combo 10 Max is iRobot’s most ambitious hybrid to date, combining all-in-one functions like self-emptying, mop washing, mop drying, and auto-refill. It’s also iRobot’s first robot with Matter support, offering seamless smart-home integration.

Enhanced Dirt Detect uses an onboard camera to identify soiled areas for extra passes, also recognizing cords, pet waste, and other obstacles to avoid.

The AutoWash Dock is redesigned from the Combo j9+ to handle water tanks, debris emptying, and mop maintenance in one unit.

On the flip side, reviewers note its navigation and mapping fall short compared to rivals that standardize LiDAR-based mapping, like Ecovacs. Functionally, the mop is lifted rather than aggressively agitated, so tougher stains may require extra passes when cleaning. Some critics also point out inconsistency in mop-drying—pads may remain damp in certain environments.

Its price is steep for what you get—only $200 shy of our Best Premium pick, the Ecovacs X11 Omnicyclone—and while it offers convenience, we don’t think it outperforms similarly priced models in raw cleaning metrics.

Buyers should weigh whether its autonomy adds enough value over more proven competitors. We love iRobot’s brand reliability, and if you can get the Combo 10 Max for under $1,000, it’s a great buy.

The Roborock Saros Z70 represents the bleeding edge of robot vacuum innovation. Alongside its 22,000 Pa suction and dual rotating mop pads, it features a 5-axis robotic arm—the first of its kind in a consumer floor cleaner—that can pick up socks, toys, and cables from the floor, clearing obstacles before vacuuming. It’s a glimpse of a truly autonomous future.

The Z70’s base automatically removes mop pads before carpet cleaning and reattaches them afterward, while its AI camera navigation steers expertly around clutter and under furniture.

That innovation comes with caveats. The arm isn’t perfect—it occasionally fumbles objects or slows cleaning while repositioning them. The dustbin and water tank are smaller than those of other Roborock models, and its $2,599 price tag is hard to justify for most households (although it’s often on sale).

Still, its cleaning performance ranks high, and its reliability in day-to-day use reflects Roborock’s maturity as a brand. The Saros Z70 is undeniably overkill for many users—but for tech enthusiasts who want to experience the next generation of home robotics, it’s pretty remarkable.

The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni is basically a housekeeper in robot form. It combines powerful vacuuming (18,000Pa suction) with brisk mopping (200rpm scrubbing) to handle hardwood, tile, and even carpet with ease. Thanks to its AI-powered AIVI 3D 3.0 navigation, it knows when to switch from vacuuming to mopping, making it smart enough to avoid soggy carpets and missed crumbs. Once the cleaning’s done, the robot trots back to its oversized dock, which takes over the messy part—emptying dust, washing the mop with hot water, and even drying it for the next round.

Testing in a multi-surface home showed the X8 Pro Omni shines at edge cleaning, deftly navigating obstacles, and scaling small floor transitions without fuss. The app is equally helpful, offering scenario-based cleans, troubleshooting tips, and detailed cleaning logs.

That said, it’s not whisper-quiet, and weekly upkeep—cleaning brushes, tanks, and filters—is still required. The special Ecovacs cleaning solution also adds a recurring cost. However, for those with larger homes and a mix of flooring, this robot saves a significant amount of time and effort. If you don’t mind a little noise and maintenance, it’s a clever, thorough companion that lightens the load of everyday cleaning.

The Dreame X50 Ultra packs a staggering amount of innovation into one of the most advanced hybrid cleaners we’ve seen. Its retractable LiDAR turret and powered “legs” let it climb thresholds and reach under low furniture where most robots can’t go. It navigates efficiently and avoids clutter with precision.

The all-in-one Ultra base is equally impressive—it empties the dustbin, washes and hot-air dries mop pads, and even dispenses cleaning solution automatically. Mopping results are strong, especially on sealed hardwoods and tile, and the Dreame app offers granular control of suction, water flow, and map zones.

Still, the X50 isn’t flawless. Despite 20,000 Pa suction, it can miss fine debris along walls, and its edge brush sometimes underperforms. The mop can struggle with sticky spills unless it makes multiple passes over the area. And while the legs are ingenious, they occasionally snag on tassels or cords.

Dreame’s software can feel complex at first, but being patient in learning it pays off with superior performance. For households with mixed flooring, multi-level layouts, or pet messes, the X50 Ultra offers great performance with a touch of added personality.

The Lefant M3 robot vacuum-mop punches well above its price point, offering features often reserved for premium models while staying much cheaper. It delivers powerful vacuuming (up to 12,000 Pa suction), dual-rotating mop pads, and hot-water mop washing, with the convenience of a self-emptying dock and smart navigation via 360° laser mapping.

In testing, its vacuum picked up most debris (though tiny particles sometimes required a second pass), and its suction boosted automatically when moving from hard floors to carpet. The compact base fits easily into smaller homes, and the included cleaning solution is a plus.

On the downside, its mopping is only “fine”—spinning pads can struggle with sticky messes, and the system lacks a mop-only mode or a separate vacuum-then-mop pass. The mobile app and mapping software are also buggy and clunky.

Bottom line: The Lefant M3 is a strong value buy if you want a feature-rich robot vacuum-mop combo at a budget price, but don’t expect premium-level mop cleaning or a polished app experience.

The Mova S20 Ultra strikes a strong balance between automation and value, offering flagship-style features at a mid-range price. It delivers 8,300 Pa of suction, providing plenty of power to pull up pet hair and debris from both carpets and hard floors. It also includes a liftable mop that prevents damp carpets. The self-maintaining base automatically empties dust, refills water, washes and dries the mop, and even uses gentle heat for sanitizing. The S20’s navigation combines LiDAR with structured light sensors to recognize common obstacles and map efficiently.

While its cleaning and automation performance are impressive for the price, the S20 Ultra does have a few limitations. Its onboard dustbin is small, relying heavily on the base to manage debris, and the mop’s 140°F wash cycle isn’t as hot as those found on premium docks. Edge cleaning can also lag behind higher-end models. By comparison, the Mova S20 Ultra isn’t far off from the SwitchBot S20 in terms of features—it offers many of the same conveniences (auto-empty, mop wash/dry, mop lift, navigation). The main deficits are in suction power and navigation refinement.

For shoppers who want a full suite of smart features like self-emptying, mop-lifting, and hands-free maintenance without spending flagship prices, the Mova S20 Ultra stands out as a well-rounded choice.

The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 aims to simplify floor care with its NeverTouch Pro base, which automatically empties the dustbin, refills water, and dries the mop pad after every run. Its Dirt Detect sensors recognize heavily soiled areas and boost cleaning intensity accordingly. A bagless debris container holds up to two months of dust, saving on replacement bags.

The PowerDetect’s LiDAR navigation and simple app enable room-by-room cleaning and scheduling, while the self-maintaining dock minimizes day-to-day upkeep.

Performance is solid on hard floors, although carpets and pet hair pose a greater challenge.

Without a front camera, obstacle avoidance is basic, and the robot can occasionally bump into small objects or cords. Maintenance is easier than before, but it still requires manual filter cleaning.

For the price—often under $500 on sale—the PowerDetect 2-in-1 offers a convenient, mostly autonomous cleaning experience that suits simpler floor plans and busy households.

• Weight: 29 pounds including base

Released in 2025, the PowerDetect ThermaCharged 2-in-1 represents Shark’s next-generation approach to self-maintaining robot cleaners. Its upgraded base uses heated water—up to 185°F—to wash the microfiber mop pad, then dries it with 175°F air for a hygienic reset between runs. The system also empties dust automatically and refills with clean water for the next cycle.

The robot’s Dirt Detect and EdgeDetect sensors adjust suction for stubborn spots and improve wall-to-wall pickup.

Shark’s new NeverStuck and DryGuard features help it avoid getting trapped and keep carpets dry while mopping.

Obstacle detection still relies on sensors rather than a camera, so navigation isn’t as sophisticated as premium rivals. For loyal Shark users ready to invest in the brand’s most advanced robot yet, the PowerDetect ThermaCharged 2-in-1 promises powerful cleaning and lower maintenance—just expect to pay a premium for the upgrade.
