Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
Robot vacuum cleaners and mops are the most efficient method of quickly cleaning up mess. The best robot vacuums and mop I tested had great mapping and navigation. They sucked up Cheerios and fake dog turds as 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 best robot vacuum and mop with cutting-edge features, take a look at the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. This high-end vacuum is fast and agile and was able to pick up human hair and pet hair almost perfectly in our Debris Pickup Test. It also features a sleek app interface with a mini map of your home and a few on-screen buttons to allow manual control.
The S8's Dirt-Detection Technology allows it to change the cleaning mode in accordance with the level of dirt. It will wash its mopping pads more frequently if it encounters dust. Carpeted areas are given priority for mopping using mopping pads that are damp.
The mop's roller has a number of other smart features, including docks that can be connected to your home plumbing system to clean and wash it without you needing to refill the mop. You can even use voice commands with the built-in voice assistant using the phrase "Hey Rocky" to specify the cleaning of your room, modes, and granular controls using just your voice.
- Yeedi Cube
The Yeedi Cube offers a variety of options for those looking for an automated robot vacuum that is hands-free that can also mop. It's one of a variety of robot vacuums with combo features that also include mops however it's priced at a lower price than the majority of competitors.
As with most robovacs the Yeedi Cube also requires some work to get it up and running. This involves setting up an account on the app and connecting the device to your WiFi network. After that, however, the robot can start mopping and vacuuming with ease.
It's important to note that mapping takes quite a while and may take a few times before the Yeedi Cube has an accurate view of your space. The object detection is an issue that is hit-and-miss. It was able to skirt around furniture and other obstacles, however, it got stuck on a looser rug with tassels and needed to turn to free itself. These aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube remains a great choice for those in need of a cleaning companion that does all of the above.
- Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a three-in-one home cleaning solution. Its advanced mopping uses an alternating motion that's similar to hand scrubbers. This means that floors are cleaned and not just being swept. The vacuum stick that can be detached is an absolute game changer that can reach places even robot vacuums cannot.
This model is essentially identical to the well-known X2 Omni but with a slightly increased suction power of 8,700Pa and a few additional smart features. The upgraded RGBD sensor will learn to understand your home's layout better and provide dynamic obstacles avoidance. The app's smart features allow you to modify a range of settings including AI cleanings and virtual boundaries.
The X2 Combo also has self-preparation. Both the mop and vacuum robot return to their charging base at the end of each task to clean their pads and empty the dust bins and place debris in a self sealing bag. This keeps the system clean, and prevents allergens recirculating. Its battery lifespan is long enough to cover large areas without requiring a recharge mid-clean.
- Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro is a high-end robot vacuum and mop model that has impressive features for affordable prices. It is equipped with a powerful 8,000 Pa suction power, a rotating brush for hard and carpet floors, and great obstacle avoidance. It also features a unique mopping method, that uses a roller that is continuously doused with water to pull dirt and then deposit it in the dirty water tank.
Its navigation technology performed well and was able to navigate close to walls without crashing, and avoiding stairs. It was unable to handle small particles and did not always clear the raised thresholds in rooms. Its operating noise level is also quite high, which suggests it could be less of a set-and-forget model than other models.
The S1 Pro, like most robotic vacuums, comes with a docking system that allows it to replenish its clean water tank, empty the dust bin as well as dry and wash the mop, and then empty its mop pad. This makes maintenance easier and lets the S1 Pro spend more time cleaning floors according to the regular schedule. Eufy's application lets you manage all the functions. It gives you an easy overview and a variety of configuration options.
- Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum/mower is one of the best vacuums/mowers that are available. It provides amazing results when it comes to mopping and vacuuming. Its LIDAR mapping sensor can recognize furniture legs and other obstacles with decent precision. The application lets users fine-tune the coverage of the map, define zones that are not allowed to enter, and set cleaning preferences. The main roller brush is also engineered to prevent hair from wrapping around it, which is a big pain point with many robotic vacuums.
The Mop Mode also impresses, with Reuleaux triangular mop heads that spin at 180 RPM and apply upward pressure of up to 12N. The mopping system has intelligent carpet detectors that lift the pads up when they're near soft surfaces in order to keep them from getting contaminated.
The all-in-one docking station serves as a hands-free maintenance center that is able to wash and dry the mops, and refilling them with water and detergent. The base station also has integrated dust processing that compacts dust over 7 weeks of uninterrupted operation, unlike traditional robot vacuums that empty their dust bins every time they have to be emptied.
- S10
A few hundred dollars less than the S8, this robot does a bang-up job of keeping my office tidy and is able to take on the corners of my cramped apartment. It makes use of laser mapping and a camera to create a map of your space, so it knows which areas to avoid. 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!).
It has other great highlights, such as a self-emptying dustbin, a mop pad that's self-washing and adjustable for water temperature and a side-reaching sweeper brush that can reach places that other mops don't. You can also set cleaning schedules in the app and set custom settings for every room in your home.
Like the S8, it has multi-room smart mapping and can differentiate between laminate, carpets and hardwood flooring with high-pile rugs. And, if you're looking to cut down on time, it can even skip mopping in rooms that aren't filthy. It's a great option when you have a mix of flooring in your home but aren't looking to spend the extra money for the Roborock with advanced mapping features.
- Q5 Pro
If you're looking for a flexible robot vacuum and mop that can manage regular maintenance as well as touch-ups to wet messes, this robot is a great choice. It has a range of features, including a self emptying dustbin as well as a dock that can be used for refilling water, and adjustable settings through the app. It's extremely quiet, and it's able to navigate around furniture legs and socks effortlessly. However, it isn't able to remove knotted rug tassels and its battery drains faster than other models we tested in our tests.
With a cost of less than $250 it's the Q5 Pro is a bargain-friendly machine that packs a lot of suction and a handy automation into a sleek design. It didn't do as well in our vacuuming and mopping tests like the expensive Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra however, it did very well overall. It also comes with a selection of cleaning options to meet your needs, from the low-power 'Quiet' mode for lightweight debris to the more powerful 'Turbo' option for rooms with carpet. It even has the ability to automatically remove and reattach the mop pads without causing your carpets wet.
- K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is a great robot vacuum and mop for people who live in cramped areas. It's very quiet and fast and does a good job of maneuvering around tight spaces. It also does a nice job of getting pet hair out of carpeting.
It's smaller than its rivals however, it doesn't compromise any features. It has a good amount of suction power and it can be configured to take photos of any object it comes across (i.e. chew toys,, socks) and mark them as 'not found in the app to ensure that they aren't taken up in subsequent cleanings. The photos are secure and not tied to your account.
It does a great job of vaccuming, but it isn't as good at mopping. It uses disposable wipes that clip onto the bottom of the bot and drags them across the floor. Compare this to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Narwhal which have water reservoirs, and automatically wash and attach their mophead.
