Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
If you're looking to clean up your mess quickly then a robot vacuum and mop is the best way to go. The best robot vacuums and mops that I have tested are top-quality in navigation and mapping as well as the ability to remove Cheerios, tangled wires and fake dog turds with out leaving them behind.
You can also schedule cleaning tasks using an app and track their progress.
1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
The Roborock S8 MaxV is the best robot mop and vacuum combo. It has the latest features. This top-of-the-line vacuum is fast and agile and was able to pick up human hair and pet hair almost perfectly in our Debris Pickup Test. It has a sleek app interface that comes with a miniature map of your home as well as buttons on the screen to allow manual control.
The S8's Dirt Detection Technology allows it to change the cleaning mode based on dirt levels. It will pause and wash its mopping pad more frequently when it comes across dust, while it will prioritize carpeted areas to mop with a damp pad.
It has a variety of other smart features also, including an alternative dock that connects to your home plumbing to clean and wash the mop roller, without having you to manually refill it. You can even use voice commands to control the built-in voice assistant of the S8 using the phrase "Hey Rocky" to specify rooms cleaning, modes and granular controls using just your voice.
2. Yeedi Cube
If you're looking for a hands-off robot vacuum that has mopping capabilities, the Yeedi Cube is one of the more versatile alternatives. It's among the many combinator robot vacuums that include mops that are also priced lower than competitors.
Like all robovacs, the Yeedi Cube also requires some work to get started. This involves establishing an app account and connecting the device to your WiFi network. After that, however, the robot can start mopping and vacuuming with ease.
It's important to keep in mind that the mapping process may take a while and the Yeedi Cube may need a few attempts before it has a good picture of your living space. The object detection feature is hit-and-miss. It was able skirt around furniture and other obstacles, however, it got stuck on a rug with tassels, and needed to turn to release itself. However, these aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube is still a excellent choice for those who want an all-in-one cleaning companion.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a three-in-one home cleaning solution. Its advanced mopping features an inclination that is like hand scrubbing which results in floors that are actually cleaned, not just cleaned. Its detachable stick-vacuum is a game changer that enables you to reach spots even robot vacuums can't.
The model is basically identical to the popular X2 Omni but with a slightly higher suction power of 8,700Pa and other smart features. The RGBD sensor upgrade can be used to learn your home's environment and provide an adaptive obstacle avoidance. And automatic hoover lets you adjust various settings that include scheduling, AI cleanings, and setting virtual boundaries.
The X2 Combo also has self-preparation. Both the mop and vacuum robot return to their charging station at the end of each job to clean their pads, empty the dust bins, and place debris in bags that self-seal. This helps keep the system clean and prevents allergens recirculating. Its battery life is sufficient to clean large areas without requiring the battery to be charged mid-clean.
4. 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 and a rotating brush that is ideal for hard and carpet floors, and great obstacles-avoiding. It also has an unique mopping method that utilizes a roller continuously misting with water to capture dirt and deposit it into the dirty water tank.
Its navigation system performed well. It avoided the stairs and was able to navigate close to walls without falling. However, it had trouble with fine-grained debris and was not always able to clear raised room thresholds. The operating noise level is also quite high, and it could be less of a set-and-forget model than other models.
The S1 Pro, like most robotic vacuums, comes with docking systems that allow it to replenish its clean water, empty the dust bin as well as dry and wash the mop, and then empty its mop pad. This makes maintenance easy and helps the S1 Pro to spend more time cleaning floors in an ongoing basis. You can control all its functions through the Eufy app, which provides a clear overview and plenty of configurability.
5. 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. Its LIDAR mapping sensor can recognize furniture legs and other obstacles with decent precision, and the application lets users fine-tune the coverage of the map, define no-go zones, and customize cleaning preferences. The main roller brush is also designed to stop hair from wrapping around it, which can be an issue for many robotic vacuums.
The Mop Mode also impresses, with Reuleaux triangular mop heads spinning at 180 RPM, while applying up to 12N downward pressure. The mopping system also incorporates intelligent carpet detection, which lifts these pads upward when they're in proximity to soft surfaces to prevent contamination of them.
The docking station acts as an unmanned maintenance center that is able to wash and dry the mops and refills them with detergent and distilled water. The base station has an integrated dust-processing system that compacts dust, which allows for 7 weeks of maintenance-free operation.
6. S10
This robot is just a few hundred dollars more than the S8 and does a great job of keeping my office tidy. It is also able to reach the corners of my small apartment. It uses laser mapping and a camera to create a map of your area and knows where to stay away from. In addition, unlike other vacuums that can mop, it has object/obstacle detection that avoids items such as dog toys and bowls (but not poop).
Other fantastic features include a self-emptying dustbin as well as a mop that's 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 adjust the settings for each room, and set up cleaning schedules.
Like the S8 model, it comes with 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 can skip mopping in rooms that aren't dirty. It's an excellent option when you have a mix of flooring in your home and aren't looking to spend the extra money on a Roborock with advanced mapping features.
7. Q5 Pro
This robot is an excellent choice to consider if you're seeking a flexible robot that can do both regular maintenance on a daily basis as well as touch-ups to messy water stains. It comes with a variety of features, including a self emptying dustbin, a separate dock for refilling water, as well as adjustable settings that can be adjusted via the app. It's surprisingly quiet and is able to easily move around furniture legs or socks. It's unable to pick up knots in the rug, and its battery drains more quickly than other models we test.
With a cost of less than $250 and less than $250, the Q5 Pro is a bargain-friendly powerhouse that packs serious suction and handy automation into a slick design. It didn't perform as well in our vacuuming and mopping tests as the much more expensive Roborock S8MaxV Ultra however, it performed very well overall. It also comes with a range of cleaning modes to suit your needs, ranging from the low-power 'Quiet' mode for debris that is light to the more powerful 'Turbo' mode for rooms with carpet. It even has the ability to automatically remove and reattach the mop pads, without getting your carpets wet.
8. K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an excellent robot vacuum and mop that can be used in small spaces. It's extremely quiet and speedy and does a great job of maneuvering around tight spaces. It also does a very excellent job of pulling pet hair out of carpeting.
It's smaller than many of its competitors, but doesn't sacrifice any features. It has a good amount of suction power, and it can be configured to take a photo of each object it finds (i.e. chew toys, socks, etc.)) and mark them as 'not found in the app to ensure that they aren't removed during subsequent cleanings. Its photos are encrypted, and not tied to you account.
It does a great job of vaccuming but isn't as good at mopping. It uses disposable wet wipes you clip onto the bottom of the bot, and then it 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.
