The iRobot Roombas have got quite a few good reviews on them. The iSeries, in particular, has features such as imprint smart mapping technology, where it can intelligently map out its surroundings to determine the best cleaning solution. One thing to take note of is that this model only does dry cleaning, meaning it acts as more of a vacuum than a mop. If you're looking for a robot mop, check out the iRobot Braava series.

Unlike the iRobot Roomba 980, which can deep clean carpets, this i7 model does not carry that option. However, it is compatible with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, which means it can dispose of the garbage on its own, without you needing to do anything.  

Each iRobot model comes with different specifications, and some are more affordable than others. So do check which best suits your home before purchasing.
