Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
Robotic vacuum cleaners and mops are a great way to quickly clean up messes. The best robot vacuums and mops in my tests are top-quality in navigation and mapping and are able to pick up Cheerios as well as tangled wires, and fake dog turds, without leaving them behind.
They're also easy to use using an application that lets you plan cleaning tasks and track what they're up to.
1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
The Roborock S8 MaxV is the best robot mop and vacuum combination. It comes with the most recent features. This high-end vacuum is fast and agile, and it picked up pet hair and human dander almost perfectly in our Debris Pickup Test. It also features a sleek app interface with a mini map of your home and some on-screen buttons for manual control.
Another noteworthy feature is the S8's ability to change its cleaning mode based on dirt levels, thanks to its Dirt Detection Technology. It will pause and clean its mopping pad more frequently when it encounters dust, while it will prioritize carpeted areas to mop with a damp pad.
It's got a host of other features that are smart also, including an alternative dock that connects to the plumbing in your home to wash and clean the mop roller without needing you to manually refill it. 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 for a hands-off robot vacuum that can mop The Yeedi Cube is one of the more versatile alternatives. It's among the many combinator robot vacuums that include mopping features that are also priced lower than other models.
Like most robovacs, the Yeedi Cube requires a little amount of work to get started, including setting up an account with the manufacturer's app and connecting it to your WiFi network. Once you've completed this, the robot will start vacuuming and mops effortlessly.
It's important to keep in mind that the mapping process may take some time, and the Yeedi Cube may need a couple of attempts before it can get a good picture of your space. The object detection is also not perfect. It was able skirt around furniture and other obstacles, but it was stuck on a rug with tassels and had to flip over to get it out of the way. But these are minor issues, and the Yeedi Cube is still a excellent choice for those who want an all-in-one cleaner.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a home cleaning solution. Its advanced mopping features an inclination that is similar to hand scrubbing which results in floors that are truly cleaned, not just being swept. The detachable vacuum stick is an absolute game changer that can reach areas where robot vacuums can't.
This model is nearly identical to the well-known X2 Omni but with a slightly higher suction power of 8,700Pa and a few additional features that are smart. The RGBD sensor upgrade can learn your home and offer dynamic obstacles avoidance. And the smart app lets you adjust various settings such as scheduling, AI cleanings, and setting virtual boundaries.
The X2 Combo is also self-prepping and has both the robot vacuum and the mop returning to their charging station after each task to wash their pads and empty their dust bins, and then place the debris in a self-sealing bag. This helps keep the system clean and prevents allergens from returning to the system. Its battery life is sufficient to remove large areas without the need for an additional charge during cleaning.
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 has a strong 8,000 Pa suction power, a rotating brush for carpets and hard floors and a great obstacle-avoiding. It also has a unique mopping system, which uses a roller continuously doused with water to pull up dirt and deposit it in the dirty water tank.
Its navigation system performed well. It avoided the stairs and was able to navigate close to walls without falling. However, robotvacuummops had trouble with fine-grained debris and didn't always clear raised room thresholds. The operating noise level is also relatively high, which suggests it could be less of a "set-and-forget" model than others.
Like many robotic vacuums and mop cleaners, the S1 Pro comes with a docking station that can replenish its clean water and empty its dust bin and mop pad, as well as wash and dry its mop. This makes maintenance easy and allows the S1 Pro to spend more time cleaning floors in a routine schedule. You can control all its functions using the Eufy app, which provides an easy overview and lots of configurability.
5. Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is one of the top robot mowers available, and offers amazing mixed vacuuming and mopping performance. The LIDAR mapping sensors can recognize furniture legs, obstacles, and other obstacles with reasonable accuracy. The app lets users fine-tune the coverage of the map, create no-go zones, or customize cleaning preferences. The Freo's brush is specifically designed to prevent hair from wrapping around it. This is an issue with a lot of robotic vacuums.
The Mop Mode is impressive too, with Reuleaux triangular mop heads that spin at 180 RPM and exert up to 12N of downward pressure. The mopping system is equipped with intelligent carpet detectors, which raise the pads when they're near soft surfaces to prevent contamination.
The docking station is designed to function as a hands-free center for maintenance, automatically washing and drying 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 conventional robot vacuums which empty their dust bins each time they need to be emptied.
6. S10
This robot is a few hundred dollars less expensive than the S8 and does an excellent job of keeping my office tidy. It also has the ability to reach into the corners of my small apartment. It makes use of laser mapping and a camera to create a map of your home, so it knows where not to go. It also has a detector for objects and obstructions that can avoid things like toys and dog bowls (but not Poop) unlike other vacuums.
It also comes with other standout features, including the self-emptying dust bin, a mop pad that's self-washing and adjustable to the temperature of the water and a side-reaching brush that is able to reach places that other mops don't. You can also alter the settings for each room and create cleaning schedules.
Like the S8 model, it comes with multi-room smart mapping that can differentiate between laminate, carpets and hardwood flooring with high-pile rugs. If you're looking to save time, it can avoid mopping rooms that aren't filthy. If you have several types of flooring in your house and don't want to invest additional money for a Roborock that comes with advanced mapping features, this is an excellent option.
7. Q5 Pro
If you're looking for a flexible robot vacuum and mop that is able to handle regular maintenance and touch-ups on wet messes, this robot is a good choice. It comes with a variety of features such as a self-emptying dustbin, a separate dock to refill water, and customizable settings via the app. It's surprisingly quiet and easily moves around furniture legs or socks. It's unable to pick up the tangled tassels of a rug and it drains its battery quicker than other models we tested.
The Q5 Pro, with a price of less than $250, is a beast that offers an impressive suction and easy automation in a sleek design. It didn't perform as well as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra in our tests of vacuuming however, it did well. It comes with a variety of cleaning modes, from the low power 'Quiet mode' for light debris to the more powerful Turbo mode for carpeted areas. It can even automate the removal and reattachment of mop pads, without getting your carpets wet.
8. K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an excellent robot mop and vacuum that can be used even in small spaces. It is very quick and quiet and it is able to navigate tight spaces with ease. It's also extremely effective in removing pet hair from carpeting.
It's smaller than many of its competitors however, it doesn't compromise any features. It has a decent amount of suction power, and it is able to take photos of every object it comes across (i.e., chew toys or socks) and mark them as 'not found in the app to ensure that they don't get picked up during future cleanings. The photos are secured and not connected to your account.
It does a fantastic job of vaccuming but isn't as good at mopping. It uses disposable wipes that are clipped to the bot's bottom and drags them across the floor. Compare this to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Narwhal that have water reservoirs, and automatically wash and attach their mophead.
