Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
If you're looking to tidy up mess fast, a robot vacuum cleaner and mop is the best way to go. The best robot vacuums and mops in my tests are top-quality in navigation and mapping as well as the ability to remove Cheerios as well as tangled wires, and fake dog turds, without leaving them behind.
They're also easy to use with an app that lets you plan cleaning tasks and see what they're doing.
1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
If you're searching for the most effective robot vacuum and mop combination with bleeding-edge features you should look no further than the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. This model of the highest quality is fast and nimble, picking up debris like human hair and pet hair with a near perfect accuracy in our Debris Pickup Test. It also comes with a stylish app interface with a mini map of your home and some on-screen buttons to allow manual control.
Another notable feature is the S8's ability to change its cleaning mode based on dirt levels thanks to its Dirt Detection technology. It will stop and clean its mopping pad more frequently when it encounters dust, while prioritizing carpeted areas for mopping with a damp pad.
It comes with a range of other features that are smart also, including an alternative dock that connects to your home plumbing to wash and clean the mop roller, without having you to manually refill it. With the built-in voice assistant of the S8 it is possible to use voice commands to set room cleaning modes and the ability to control granular settings using only your voice.
2. Yeedi Cube
The Yeedi Cube offers a variety of options for those seeking a hands-free robot vacuum that also has mopping capabilities. It's among the many combinator robot vacuums that include mopping features that are also priced lower than competitors.
Like most robot vacuums, the Yeedi Cube also requires some work to get started. This involves setting up an account on the app and connecting the device to your WiFi network. Once you've done that, the machine will begin vacuuming and mopping effortlessly.
It's worth noting that the mapping process takes quite a while and it could take a few times before the Yeedi Cube has an accurate image of your space. The object detection is hit-and-miss. It was able to maneuver around furniture and other obstacles, however, it got stuck on a rug with tassels, and had to flip over to get it out of the way. These aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube remains a great choice for those who need 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 three-in-one home cleaning solution. Its innovative mopping feature a rotating motion similar to hand scrubbing, which results in floors that are actually cleaned and not just swept. Its detachable stick-vacuum is a game changer that enables you to get into places that robotic vacuums aren't able to reach.
This model is nearly identical to the popular 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 be used to learn your home's surroundings and provide an adaptive obstacle avoidance. And the smart app lets you adjust a variety of settings such as scheduling, AI cleanings, and setting virtual boundaries.
The X2 Combo also has self-preparation. robot vacuum cleaners and mop return to their charging station at the end of each task to clean their pads, empty the dust bins, and place debris in bags that self-seal. This helps to keep the system clean and prevents allergens from recirculating. Its battery longevity is sufficient to cover large areas without needing a recharge mid-clean.
4. Eufy S1 Pro
As one of the expensive robot vacuum and mop models, the Eufy S1 Pro offers impressive features for the money. It has a strong 8,000 Pa suction power as well as a rotating brush for carpets and hard floors and an excellent obstacle-avoiding. It also has a unique mopping method, which uses a roller continuously filled with water to pick up dirt and deposit it in the dirty water tank.
Its navigation technology performed well, navigating close to walls without crashing, and avoiding steps. However, it struggled with finely engrained debris and was not always able to remove raised thresholds in rooms. The operating noise level is also high, which suggests it could be less of a set-and-forget model than others.
As with most robotic vacuums and mops, the S1 Pro comes with a docking station that lets you refill its clean water and empty its dust bin and mop pad, as well as wash and dry its mop. This makes maintenance simple and lets the S1 Pro spend more time cleaning floors in line with the regular schedule. Eufy's app allows you to manage all the functions. It provides clear information and plenty of configuration options.
5. Freo X Ultra
The Freo X Ultra is one of the most premium robot vacuums/mowers available, and it offers an impressive mix of mopping and vacuuming performance. The LIDAR mapping sensors can detect furniture legs, obstacles and other obstacles with a reasonable precision. The app lets users fine-tune the coverage of the map, create no-go zones, or modify their cleaning preferences. The Freo's brush is specifically designed to prevent hair from wrapping itself 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 apply up to 12N of downward pressure. The mopping system has intelligent carpet detectors that raise the pads when they are close to soft surfaces to avoid contamination.
The docking station is an automated maintenance center that automatically washes and dry the mops, and refills them with detergent and distilled water. The base station comes with an integrated dust processing system that compacts dust, allowing for seven weeks of maintenance free operation.
6. S10
This robot is a few hundred dollars less than the S8 and does an excellent job of keeping my office clean. It also has the ability to reach the corners of my small apartment. It makes use of laser mapping and a camera to create an image of your space which allows it to know where not to go. It has an object/obstacle detector that can block things like toys and dog bowls (but not the poop), unlike many vacuums.
It has other great standout features, including an automatic emptying dust bin and a mop pad that's self-washing and adjustable to the temperature of the water, and a side-reaching sweeper brush that can reach areas other mops miss. You can also set your own cleaning schedule within the app and adjust settings for every room in your home.
Similar to the S8 It also has multi-room smart mapping that can differentiate between laminate, carpets and hardwood flooring with high-pile rugs. It can also avoid cleaning rooms that aren't clean if you want to reduce time. It's an excellent option when you have a mix of flooring in your home but don't want to spend the money to buy a Roborock with advanced mapping features.
7. Q5 Pro
If you're looking to find a multi-functional robot vacuum and mop that can handle both regular daily maintenance as well as touch-ups to wet messes, this little robot is a good option. It has a range of features, including a self emptying dustbin and a separate dock for refilling water, and adjustable settings through the app. It's quite quiet and can maneuver between furniture legs and socks with ease. It can't pick the tangled tassels of a rug, and its battery drains more quickly than other models we've test.
The Q5 Pro, with a price of less than $250, is a powerhouse that provides powerful suction and convenient automation in a sleek. It didn't perform as well in our vacuuming and mopping tests like the pricier Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra however, it did extremely well overall. It has a variety of cleaning modes, ranging from the low power 'Quiet mode' for light debris to the powerful Turbo mode for carpeted areas. It even has the ability to remove and reconnect mop pads, without getting your carpets wet.
8. K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is a great mop and robot vacuum for those who live in cramped areas. It's extremely quick and quiet and can maneuver tight spaces with ease. It also does a very good job of removing pet hair out of carpeting.
It's smaller than its rivals however it doesn't sacrifice any features. It has a decent amount of suction power and it is able to take a picture of each object it finds (i.e. chew toys, or socks, etc.)) and mark them as 'not found' in the app so that they don't get removed during subsequent cleanings. The photos are secure, and aren't tied to your account.
It is great at vacuuming, but not as great in mopping. It uses disposable wipes that are clipped to the bot's bottom, and then drags them across your floor. Compare this to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Narwhal with water reservoirs, and automatically wash and attach their mopheads.
