Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
If you're looking to clean up messes quickly, a robot vacuum cleaner and mop is the best way to go. The top robot vacuums and mop I test had superior navigation and mapping. They sucked up Cheerios and fake dog turds, well as tangled wires.
You can also schedule cleaning tasks using an app and track their progress.
- Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
If you're looking for the top robot vacuum and mop combination with bleeding-edge features take a look at the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. This high-end model is incredibly quick and agile, picking up debris like human hair and pet hair nearly flawlessly in our Debris Pickup Test. It also comes with a stylish app interface with a mini map of your house and a few on-screen buttons for manual control.
Another standout feature of the S8 is its ability to adjust its cleaning mode based on dirt levels thanks to its Dirt Detection Technology. It will clean its mopping pads more frequently when it comes across dust. Carpeted areas are given priority for mopping using mopping pads that are damp.
It comes with a range of other innovative features as well, including a different dock that connects to your plumbing to wash and clean the mop roller, without having you to refill it manually. With the built-in voice assistant in the S8, you can use voice commands to control rooms cleaning options and the ability to control granular settings using only your voice.
- Yeedi Cube
The Yeedi Cube offers a variety of options for those who want a hands-free robot vacuum that also has mopping capabilities. It's part of a litany of robot vacuums that also include mops but is priced at a lower cost than the majority of competitors.
Like many robovacs Yeedi Cube requires a little bit of work in order to begin, which includes setting up an account with the manufacturer's app and connecting it to your WiFi network. Once you've completed that, the machine will start vacuuming and mops effortlessly.
It's important to note that the mapping process may take some time, and the Yeedi Cube may need a few tries before it gets an accurate image of your space. The object detection is hit-and-miss. It was able to maneuver around furniture and other obstacles however, it got stuck on a looser rug with tassels that it required a flip to release itself. However, these aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube is still a excellent choice for those who need an all-in-one solution for cleaning.
- Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete provides a three-in-one cleaning solution. Its advanced mopping uses an alternating motion that's similar to hand scrubs. This results in floors being cleaned, not just cleaned. The vacuum stick that can be detached is a game changer that can get to places robot vacuums cannot.
The model is basically identical to the popular X2 Omni, but with a slightly higher suction power of 8700Pa and other clever features. The upgraded RGBD sensor will learn to understand your home's layout better and provide dynamic obstacle avoidance. The smart app allows you to alter a variety of settings including AI cleanings and virtual boundaries.
The X2 Combo also has self-preparation. Both the robot vacuum and mop return to their charging station at the end of each job to clean their pads, empty the dust bins, and place debris in the self-sealing bag. This helps keep the system clean and prevents allergens recirculating. The battery's life is enough to remove large areas without the need for the battery to be charged mid-clean.
- Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro is a high-end robot vacuum and mop model that offers impressive features at an affordable price. It comes with a powerful 8,000 Pa suction power as well as a rotating brush for hard and carpet floors and an excellent obstacle avoidance. It also has an innovative mopping system which uses a roller continuously dosed with water to pick dirt and then deposit it in the dirty water tank.
Its navigation technology performed well and was able to navigate close to walls without falling and staying clear of stairs. It struggled with fine debris and didn't always clear the thresholds in rooms. Its operating noise level is also quite high, which suggests it could be less of a set-and-forget model than some.
The S1 Pro, like most robotic vacuums, comes with a docking system that allows it to refill its clean water, empty the dust bin as well as dry and wash the mop, as well as empty its mop pad. This makes upkeep easy and helps the S1 Pro to spend more time cleaning floors on regular schedules. Eufy's app lets you control all its functions. It gives clear information and plenty of options for configuration.
- Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is one of the top robot mowers and vacuums available, and it offers amazing mixed vacuuming and mopping performance. The LIDAR mapping sensors can detect furniture legs, obstacles, and other obstacles with a reasonable precision. The application allows users to adjust the coverage of the map, establish no-go zones, and even alter the cleaning preferences. The main roller brush of the Freo is also engineered to prevent hair from wrapping around it, which could be a big pain point with many robotic vacuums.
The Mop Mode also impresses, with Reuleaux triangular mop heads spinning at 180 RPM while applying upward pressure of up to 12N. The mopping system is also equipped with intelligent carpet detection, which lifts these pads upward when they're near soft surfaces to avoid contaminating the carpet.
The docking station acts as a hands-free maintenance centre that is able to wash and dry the mops, then refills them with detergent and distillate water. The base station comes with an integrated dust removal system that compacts dust, which allows for seven weeks of uninterrupted maintenance.
- S10
A few hundred dollars cheaper than the S8 and this robot does a bang-up job at keeping my home office clean and can also take on the corners of my tiny apartment. It uses laser mapping and camera to create a 3D model of your home, so it can know what to stay clear of. And, unlike many vacuums with mopping capabilities it also has detection of objects and obstructions that is able to avoid things like bowls and dog toys (but not poop!).
Other great features include a self emptying dustbin and a mop that is self-washing and adjustable for water temperature and a side-reaching mops that can reach areas that other mops cannot reach. You can also alter the settings for each room, and set up cleaning schedules.
It comes with the same multi-room smart mapping that is found in the S8 and can distinguish between laminate and carpets with high-pile carpets. And, if you want to save time, it will skip cleaning rooms that aren't dirty. If you have a variety of flooring options in your home and don't want to spend additional money for a Roborock that has advanced mapping features this is an excellent option.
- Q5 Pro
This robot is an excellent choice when you're looking for a robot that can handle regular maintenance on a daily basis and touch-ups for messy water stains. It comes with a variety of features, including a self emptying dustbin as well as a dock that can be used for refilling water, and adjustable settings that can be adjusted via the app. It is surprisingly quiet and easily moves around furniture legs or socks. It's not able to take care of the tangled tassels of rugs and its battery drains a little quicker than other models in our tests.
The Q5 Pro, with a price of less than $250, is a powerhouse that offers a powerful suction and convenient automation in a sleek. It didn't perform as well in our vacuuming and mopping tests as the pricier Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra however, it did very well overall. It also includes a wide selection of cleaning options to suit your needs, ranging from the low-power 'Quiet' option for lightweight debris to the more powerful 'Turbo' option for carpeted rooms. It can even automatically remove and reattach the mop pads, and not leave your carpets wet.
- K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an excellent robot mop and vacuum cleaner that can be used even in small areas. It's fast and quiet and can maneuver tight spaces with ease. It also does a very excellent job of pulling pet hair out of carpeting.
It's smaller than most of its rivals, but it doesn't sacrifice features. It has a decent amount of suction power, and it is able to take a photo of each object it comes across (i.e., chew toys, socks, etc.)) and mark them as 'not found' in the app so that they aren't picked up during future cleanings. Its photos are encrypted and are not linked to your account.
It's great for vacuuming, but it's not so well in mopping. It uses disposable wet wipes you clip onto the bottom of the bot, and then it drags them around the floor. Compare this to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Narwhal which have reservoirs of water, and can automatically wash and attach their mophead.
