Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
Robotic vacuum cleaners and mops are the best method of quickly cleaning up messes. The top robot vacuums and mops in my tests come with top-quality mapping and navigation as well as the ability to remove Cheerios as well as tangled wires, and fake dog turds with out leaving them behind.
They're also easy to use using an app that lets you plan cleaning tasks and check on how they're doing.
1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
The Roborock S8 MaxV is the most efficient robot mop and vacuum combo. It comes with the most recent features. This premium vacuum is quick and agile and picked up pet hair and human dander almost perfectly in our Debris Pickup Test. It also comes with a stylish app interface with a mini map of your house and some on-screen buttons to allow manual control.
Another standout characteristic of the S8 is its ability to alter its cleaning mode in accordance with the amount of dirt it encounters thanks to its Dirt Detection technology. It will wash its mopping pads more frequently when it comes across dust. Carpeted areas are given the first priority when mopping with a damp mopping pad.
The mop roller has many other smart features, such as a dock that connects to the plumbing system in your home to wash and clean it without having to manually refill the mop. You can also use voice commands to control the S8's built-in voice assistant that can be activated by saying "Hey Rocky" to specify rooms cleaning, modes and granular controls using just your voice.
2. Yeedi Cube
If you're looking to buy a hands-free robot vacuum that can mop, the Yeedi Cube is one of the more flexible choices. It's part of a plethora of robot vacuums with combo features with mops, but comes at a lower price than many of the competitors.
As with most robovacs the Yeedi Cube also requires some work to get it up and running. This involves establishing an account with the app and connecting the device to your WiFi network. After that, however the robot can begin mopping and vacuuming with ease.
Internet Page to note that the mapping process can take some time, and the Yeedi Cube may need a few tries before it gets an accurate picture of your room. In addition, object detection can be hit or miss It was able to skim over furniture and other obstacles but was stuck on a loose tassel rug and had to turn it over to get free. These are minor issues and the Yeedi Cube remains a great choice for those who need a cleaning companion that does all of the above.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete provides a three-in-one cleaning solution. Its innovative mopping feature an inclination that is similar to hand scrubbing which results in floors that are genuinely cleaned and not just being swept. The vacuum stick that can be detached is an innovative tool that can reach places even robot vacuums can't.
This model is nearly identical to the well-known X2 Omni but with a slightly increased suction power of 8,700Pa and a few other smart features. The upgraded RGBD sensor can learn your home's surroundings 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 is also self-prepping by having both the robot vacuum and mop returning to their charging base after each task to wash their pads and empty their dust bins, and put the waste in bags that self-seal. This helps keep the system clean and prevents allergens from circulating. Its battery life is sufficient to remove large areas without the need for the battery to be charged mid-clean.
4. Eufy S1 Pro
As one of the top-quality robot vacuums and mop models that we have reviewed, the Eufy S1 Pro offers impressive features for its price. It has a strong 8,000 Pa suction power, a rotating brush for hard and carpet floors and a great obstacle avoidance. It also has an unique mopping method that utilizes a roller continuously spraying with water to collect dirt, and then dump it in the water tank.
Its navigation system was efficient. It avoided stairs and navigated close to walls without falling. It had trouble with fine debris and didn't always clear the thresholds in rooms. Its operating noise level is also very high, which means this model may not be as easy to set and forget as others.
The S1 Pro, like most robotic vacuums, is equipped with docking systems that allow it to refill its clean water tank, empty the dust bin as well as dry and wash the mop, and empty its mop pad. This makes maintenance easier and lets the S1 Pro spend more time cleaning floors in line with a regular schedule. You can manage all of its functions through the Eufy app. It provides an easy overview and lots of options for configuration.
5. Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is one of the most premium robot mowers available, and offers amazing mixed vacuuming and mopping performance. The LIDAR sensors for mapping can identify furniture legs, obstacles and other obstacles with decent precision. The application allows users to adjust the map coverage, set up no-go zones and modify their cleaning preferences. The main roller brush of the Freo is also designed to stop hair from wrapping around it, which can be a major issue with many robotic vacuums.
The Mop Mode is impressive too, with Reuleaux triangular mops that spin at 180 RPM and can apply up to 12N of downward pressure. The mopping system is also equipped with intelligent carpet detection, which lifts the pads up when they're close to soft surfaces to prevent contamination of them.
The docking station acts as an unmanned maintenance center that automatically washes and dry the mops, and refills them with detergent and distillate water. The base station has an integrated dust removal system that compacts dust and allows for seven weeks of maintenance-free operation.
6. S10
This robot is a few hundred dollars less than the S8 and does a great job of keeping my office tidy. It can also reach all corners of my tiny apartment. It uses laser mapping and a camera to build an outline of your space and knows which areas to avoid. It also has a detector for objects and obstructions that can block things like toys and dog bowls (but not the poop) unlike other vacuums.
Other fantastic features include a self emptying dustbin and a mop that is self-washing, adjustable for water temperature and an extended side-reaching brush that is able to reach areas that other mops miss. You can also customize the settings for each room, and set up cleaning schedules.
Similar to the S8 It also has multi-room smart mapping, and can differentiate between carpets, laminate and hardwood flooring with high-pile rugs. If you're looking to cut down on time, it will skip cleaning rooms that aren't filthy. 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 capabilities it is an excellent option.
7. Q5 Pro
This robot is a great option when you're looking for a versatile robot that can handle regular daily maintenance and touch-ups for wet messes. It has a wide range of features, including the ability to empty the dustbin on its own and the water refill dock, and adjustable settings in the app. It's extremely quiet, and it's able to navigate between furniture legs and socks with ease. It's unable to pick up knots in the rug and its battery drains more quickly than other models we've test.
With a price tag of less than $250, 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 score quite as well in our vacuuming and mopping tests as the more expensive Roborock S8MaxV Ultra however, it did extremely well overall. It also includes a wide range of cleaning modes to suit your needs, ranging from the low-power 'Quiet' mode for lightweight debris to the more powerful 'Turbo' mode for rooms with carpet. It will even automate the removal and reattachment of mop pads, and not leave your carpets wet.
8. K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is a great mop and robot vacuum for people who live in tiny areas. It's quick and quiet and can maneuver tight spaces with ease. It also does a very nice job of getting pet hair out of carpeting.
It's smaller than most of its competition, but it doesn't sacrifice features. It has decent suction power and can be programmed to take pictures of each object it finds (i.e. chew toys, socks) and mark them in the app as 'not found' to ensure that they will not be picked up again during future cleanings. The photos are secure, and are not tied to your account.
It is capable of vaccuming but isn't as effective at mopping. It uses disposable wipes that are clipped onto the bottom of the bot and drags them across your floor. Compare this to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Narwhal that have water reservoirs and will automatically wash and attach their mopheads.
