The Bissell Spinwave Robot Vacuum and Mop comes with two swappable cleaning systems: one vacuuming brush roll and dust bin and one with mop pads and a bust bin. It efficiently vacuums on low-pile carpets and area rugs, and it effortlessly vacuums and mops all hard floor types, including wood, laminate, tile, and vinyl. And it even features edge sweeping brushes to grab debris from corners and baseboards. To buy: $299 (was $400); amazon.com. As a vacuum, the robot cleaner is equipped with high-performing 1,500 Pascals (a unit of pressure) of suction power and a rotating brush roll to pick up dust and pet hair from most surfaces. And several shoppers rave about how little sound it makes. “It’s extremely quiet, so I can run it while my kids are sleeping,” one parent said. It’s particularly impressive as a robot mop thanks to its rotating dual mopping pads that scrub stuck-on dirt from hard floors. It has sensors that detect soft surfaces to avoid mopping on carpet or area rugs. When the mop pads get dirty after a long runtime, you can simply throw them in the washing machine for easy maintenance. The appliance runs for up to 100 minutes and automatically returns to its docking station to recharge—after four to five hours, it’ll be ready for another cleaning task. You can schedule cleanings with the Bissell mobile app for total hands-free control of your floor care. And you’ll rest easy letting it clean without supervision thanks to its navigation technology that cleans row by row and avoids cliffs like stairs and balconies. One pet owner confirmed that the robot cleaner is easy to set up and switch from dry to wet cleaning modes. “I was impressed by how much debris the SpinWave picked up while in wet mode,” they wrote.
