ILIFE has been making robot vacuums for years, and the V5s Plus is a direct refinement of their core formula. This is a slim, gold-colored unit that handles both vacuuming and mopping in one pass, and it’s designed for homes with a mix of hard floors and low-pile carpets. The main upgrade here is the addition of Wi-Fi and voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant, which means you can start a cleaning cycle from the couch or another room without hunting for a remote.

In use, the V5s Plus is quiet enough to run while you’re watching TV or on a call. It navigates a 1,000-square-foot apartment in about 45 minutes, and the self-charging function means it docks automatically when the battery runs low. The mopping system uses a water tank and a cloth pad—it damp-mops rather than scrubs, so it’s best for maintenance cleaning rather than stuck-on messes. It handles pet hair well on hard floors, though you’ll want to clear the brush roll of long hair every few runs.

One limitation: the included AAA batteries are for the remote control, not the robot itself. The vacuum’s battery is built-in and lasts roughly 90 minutes on a single charge. For the price, you’re getting a solid performer that does two jobs without taking up much space. It’s a straightforward, capable machine for anyone who wants basic floor care without the complexity of high-end mapping systems.
