Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
If you need to clean up your mess quickly, a robot vacuum cleaner and mop is the way to go. The best robot vacuums and mop I tested had excellent mapping and navigation. They sucked up Cheerios and fake dog turds, well as wires that were strung up.
They're also simple to use with an app that lets you schedule cleaning tasks and track what they're up to.
1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
If you're looking for the top robot vacuum and mop combination with bleeding-edge features look no further than 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 flawlessly in our Debris Pickup Test. It has a sleek app interface that comes with an interactive map of your home as well as buttons on the screen for manual control.
Another standout feature is the S8's ability to alter its cleaning mode based on the amount of dirt it encounters thanks to its Dirt Detection technology. It will pause and wash its mopping pad more often when it comes across dust, while prioritizing carpeted areas for mopping with a damp pad.
The mop roller has many other smart features, including a dock that connects to your home's plumbing system to wash and clean it without you having to manually refill the mop. With the built-in voice assistant of the S8 it is possible to use voice commands to set rooms cleaning options and granular control using only 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 alternatives. It's one of many combo robot vacuums with mopping capabilities that are available at a lower cost than the competition.
Like all robovacs, the Yeedi Cube also requires some work to get it started. This includes setting up an app account and connecting the device to your WiFi network. Once that's done, though the robot can begin cleaning and mopping easily.
It's important to note that the mapping process takes some time, and it may require a few attempts before the Yeedi Cube has an accurate picture of your space. In addition, object detection can be unpredictable; it was able to get around furniture and other obstacles but was stuck on a loose tassel rug and had to flip it over to get free. These aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube remains a great option for those looking for an all-purpose cleaning tool that can do all of the above.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a 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 swept. The detachable vacuum stick is a game changer that can reach places even robot vacuums can't.
The model is basically identical to the popular X2 Omni but with a slightly increased suction power of 8,700Pa and additional smart features. The RGBD sensor upgrade can learn your home and offer an adaptive obstacle avoidance. The smart app lets you modify the settings of your choice, including 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 put the debris in a self sealing bag. This keeps the system tidy and stops allergens from circulating. Its battery lifespan is long enough to cover large areas without requiring a recharge mid-clean.
4. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro is a top-quality robot vacuum and mop that comes with impressive features at a reasonable price. It is equipped with a powerful 8,000 Pa suction power and a rotating brush that is ideal for hard and carpet floors and a great obstacle avoidance. It also has an unique mopping method that utilizes a roller continuously misting with water to capture dirt, and then dump it into the dirty water tank.
Its navigation system performed well. It stayed clear of the stairs and was able to navigate close to walls without falling. However, it struggled with fine engrained debris and was not always able to clear raised room thresholds. Its operating sound level is also quite high, so this model might not be as easy to set and forget as others.
Like many robotic vacuums and mops the S1 Pro comes with a docking station that can replenish its clean water, empty its dustbin and mop pad, as well as wash and dry its mop. This makes maintenance simple and allows the S1 Pro to spend more time cleaning floors on an ongoing basis. Eufy's application lets you manage all the functions. It gives a clear overview with plenty of options for configuration.
5. Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is one of the most premium robot mowers available, and it offers impressive mixed vacuuming and mopping performance. The LIDAR mapping sensors can recognize furniture legs, obstacles and other obstacles with reasonable precision. The application allows users to adjust the coverage of the map, establish no-go zones, or customize cleaning preferences. The main roller brush is also engineered to prevent hair from wrapping around it, which can be a major issue 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 equipped with intelligent carpet detectors, which lift the pads up when they're near soft surfaces to keep them from getting contaminated.
The docking station acts as a hands-free maintenance centre that automatically washes and dry the mops and refills them with detergent and distilled water. The base station also comes with integrated dust processing that compacts dust for seven weeks of hassle-free operation unlike conventional robot vacuums that empty their dust bins each time they have to be cleaned.
6. S10
This robot is only a few hundred dollars more expensive than the S8 and does an excellent job of keeping my home office clean. It is also able to reach all corners of my small apartment. It uses laser mapping and a camera to build an image of your area and knows where to stay away from. And, unlike many vacuums that have mopping capabilities, it has object/obstacle detection that avoids things like bowls for dogs and dog toys (but not poop!).
It also has some outstanding notable features, like an automatic emptying dust bin and a mop pad self-washing and adjustable for water temperature, and a side-reaching sweeper brush that can reach areas other mops miss. You can also set cleaning schedules in the app and customize settings for every room in your home.
Like the S8 It also has multi-room smart mapping that can differentiate between laminate, carpets and hardwood with high-pile rugs. And, if you're looking to save time, it can even avoid mopping rooms that aren't filthy. If you have several types of flooring in your house and don't wish to spend more money on a Roborock with advanced mapping capabilities this is a great option.
7. Q5 Pro
If you're looking to find a multi-functional robot vacuum and mop that is able to handle both regular daily maintenance as well as touch-ups to wet messes, this little robot is a great choice. It has a wide range of features, including the ability to empty the dustbin on its own as well as an additional water refill dock, as well as adjustable settings in the app. It's extremely quiet, and it's able to navigate around furniture legs and socks with ease. It can't pick tangled rug tassels up and its battery drains quicker than other models we've tested.
The Q5 Pro, with a price of less than $250, is a powerhouse that comes with an impressive suction and easy automation in a sleek design. It didn't perform as well in our mopping and mopping tests as the much expensive Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra however, it performed very well overall. It also offers a selection of cleaning options to suit your needs, from the low-power 'Quiet' option for light debris to the more powerful 'Turbo' mode for carpeted rooms. It even has the ability to automatically remove and reattach the mop pads without causing your carpets wet.
8. K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is a great robot vacuum and mop for people who live in small areas. It's quiet and quick, and it does a great job of getting around tight spots. It also does a very nice job of getting pet hair out of carpeting.
It's smaller than the majority of its rivals, but it doesn't sacrifice features. It has decent suction power and can be set to take photos of each object it chooses (i.e. chew toys, socks), and mark them in the app as "not found' to ensure that they are not picked up again during future cleanings. Its photos are encrypted, and not tied to you account.
It does a fantastic job of vaccuming, but it isn't as effective at mopping. It makes use of disposable wipes that clip onto the bot's bottom and drags them across your floor. Compare this with the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Narwhal, which have water reservoirs that can automatically wash and reattach their mopheads.
