Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
Robotic vacuum cleaners and mops are a great method to quickly clean up messes. The best robot vacuums and mop I tested had excellent navigation and mapping. They picked up Cheerios and fake dog turds, well as wires that were strung up.
You can also schedule cleaning chores with an app and monitor their progress.
1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
The Roborock S8 MaxV is the most efficient robot mop and vacuum combo. It has the latest features. This high-end vacuum is fast and agile, and it picked up pet hair and human dander almost flawlessly in our Debris Pickup Test. It comes with a sleek application interface that comes with a mini-map of your home, as well as buttons on the screen to allow manual control.
The S8's Dirt-Detection Technology allows it to adjust the cleaning mode based on dirt levels. It will stop and wash its mopping pad more often when it encounters dust while prioritizing carpeted areas for mopping with a damp pad.
The mop roller has a number of other smart features, including a dock that can be connected to the plumbing system in your home to clean and wash it without you having to refill the mop. With the built-in voice assistant of the S8 you can make use of voice commands to set the cleaning mode of your room and provide the ability to control granular settings using only your voice.
2. Yeedi Cube
If you're looking for a hands-off robot vacuum with mopping capabilities, the Yeedi Cube is one of the more flexible options. It's among the many combo robot vacuums with mops that are also offered at a lower price than competitors.
Like all robovacs, the Yeedi Cube also requires some work to get started. This involves establishing an account on the app and connecting the device to your WiFi network. After that, however the robot is able to begin mopping and vacuuming with ease.
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 living space. The object detection is also hit-and-miss. It was able to skirt around furniture and other obstacles, but it was stuck on a looser rug with tassels and had to flip over to get it out of the way. However, these aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube is still a ideal choice for those who need an all-in-one cleaner.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete offers a three-in-1 home cleaning solution. Its advanced mopping uses a rotating motion that is similar to hand scrubbing. This results in floors being cleaned and not just being swept. Its detachable stick-vacuum is a game changer that enables you to reach areas that a robotic vacuum can't.
This model is essentially the same as the popular X2 Omni, but with an increased suction power of 8700Pa and some additional clever features. The RGBD sensor upgrade is able to learn your home and offer 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, with both the robot vacuum and mop returning to their charging base after each job to wash their pads, empty their dust bins, and place debris into bags that self-seal. This helps keep the system tidy and stops allergens from circulating. The battery lifespan is long enough to cover large areas without needing a recharge mid-clean.
4. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro is a high-end robot vacuum and mop model that comes with impressive features at affordable prices. It is equipped with powerful 8,000 Pa suction, a moving floor brush for carpets and a fantastic obstacle avoidance. It also boasts a unique mopping system, which utilizes a continuous roller filled with water to pick up dirt and deposit it in the dirty water tank.
Its navigation technology was effective, navigating close to walls without crashing and avoiding stairs. However, it struggled with fine-grained debris and wasn't always able to get rid of raised thresholds for rooms. Its operating noise level is also quite high, so this model might not be as simple to set and forget as others.
The S1 Pro, like most robotic vacuums, comes with docking systems that allow it to refill its clean water, empty the dust bin as well as dry and wash the mop, and then empty its mop pad. This makes maintenance simple and lets the S1 Pro spend more time cleaning floors in accordance with an established schedule. Eufy's app allows you to manage all the functions. It provides clear information and plenty of options for configuration.
5. Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra robot vacuum/mower is one of the best vacuums/mowers on the market. It offers impressive vacuuming and mopping results. The LIDAR mapping sensors can recognize furniture legs, obstacles and other obstacles with a reasonable accuracy. The application allows users to adjust the coverage of the map, create no-go zones, and even modify their cleaning preferences. The Freo's 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 is impressive too it comes with Reuleaux triangular mop heads that spin at 180 RPM and apply up to 12N of downward pressure. The mopping system also incorporates intelligent carpet detection, which lifts the pads up when they're in proximity to soft surfaces, preventing them from contaminating them.
The docking station functions as a hands-free maintenance centre that automatically washes and dries the mops and refills them with detergent and distillate water. The base station comes with an integrated dust processing system that compacts dust and allows for 7 weeks of uninterrupted maintenance.
6. S10
A few hundred dollars cheaper than the S8 This robot is a slick job of keeping my home office tidy and is able to tackle the corners of my cramped apartment. It makes use of laser mapping and a camera to make a map of your home which allows it to know where to stay away from. It has an object/obstacle detector that can block things like dog bowls and toys (but not poop) unlike most vacuums.
It has other great highlights, such as a self-emptying dust bin and a mop pad self-washing and adjustable to the temperature of the water and a side-reaching sweeper brush that can get to areas other mops miss. You can also set your own cleaning schedule in the app and customize the settings for each room in your home.
It features the same multi-room smart mapping feature as the S8 and can differentiate between laminate and carpets, with high-pile rugs. And, if you want to save time, it will avoid mopping rooms that aren't filthy. 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 Roborock. Roborock with advanced mapping features.
7. Q5 Pro
This robot is an excellent choice when you're seeking a flexible robot that can do both regular maintenance and touch-ups to messy water stains. It comes with a variety of features, including self-emptying dustbins and an additional water refill dock, and adjustable settings in the app. It's surprisingly quiet, and it's able to navigate around furniture legs and socks effortlessly. It's unable to pick up the tangled tassels of a rug and its battery drains faster than other models we've test.
The Q5 Pro, with a price of less than $250, is a beast that comes with a powerful suction and convenient automation in a sleek. It wasn't as efficient as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra in our vacuuming tests, but overall it did quite well. It also includes a wide selection of cleaning options to meet your needs, ranging from the low-power 'Quiet' option for lightweight debris to the more powerful 'Turbo' option for carpeted rooms. It can even automatically remove and reattach the mop pads, and not leave your carpets wet.
8. remote hoover Plus
The K10 Plus is an excellent robot mop and vacuum cleaner that can be used in small areas. It's silent and fast and it is able to navigate tight spaces with ease. It is also very good at removing pet hair from carpeting.
It's smaller than most of its competition however it doesn't sacrifice features. It has a good amount of suction power and it's possible to take a picture of every object it comes across (i.e. chew toys, socks, etc.)) and mark them as 'not found' in the app so that they don't get taken up in subsequent cleanings. Its photos are encrypted and are not linked to your account.
It is capable of vaccuming, however it isn't as effective at mopping. It uses disposable wipes that are clipped onto the bot's bottom and drags them across the floor. Compare this to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Narwhal that have reservoirs of water, and can automatically wash and attach their mopheads.
