The Combo J9+ is one of the most effective mopping robots that we've tested. It comes with docks that can hold up to 60 days' worth of dirt.

Some models allow you to create these virtual barriers using laser navigation sensors, whereas others have small physical boundaries or barriers to place wherever you'd like to keep off your floor area.
