The Ugly Truth About Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop

If you're looking to tidy up mess fast then a robot vacuum and mop is the way to go. The top robot vacuums and mops that I have tested have top-notch mapping and navigation and are able to pick up Cheerios, tangled wires and fake dog turds without leaving them behind.

You can also schedule cleaning chores with an app and monitor their progress.

1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

If you're searching for the most effective robot vacuum and mop combination that has cutting-edge features you should take a look at the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. This top-of-the-line vacuum is fast and agile, and it picked up pet hair and human dander almost flawlessly in our Debris Pickup Test. It features a sleek and elegant app interface that includes a miniature map of your home and buttons on the screen for manual control.

The S8's Dirt Detection Technology enables it to adjust the cleaning mode in accordance with the level of dirt. It will clean its mopping pads more often when it encounters dust. Carpeted areas are given priority for mopping using a damp mopping pad.

It has a variety of other smart features as well, including a different dock that connects to your plumbing to wash and clean the mop roller without needing refilling it manually. With the built-in voice assistant in the S8 it is possible to use voice commands to specify the cleaning mode of your room and provide granular control using only 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 flexible choices. It's one of a variety of robot vacuums with combo features that also feature mops but is priced at a cheaper price than most of the competition.

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. Once you've done that, the machine will begin to vacuum and mop with ease.

It's worth noting that the mapping process takes a while and it could take a few times before the Yeedi Cube has an accurate picture of your space. Additionally, 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 turn its back to release itself. However, these aren't major issues and the Yeedi Cube is still a great option for those looking for an all-in-one cleaner.

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. And its detachable stick vacuum is a game changer that allows you to get into places that robotic vacuums aren't able to reach.

This model is nearly identical to the well-known X2 Omni but with a slightly higher suction capacity of 8,700Pa as well as a few additional smart features. The upgraded RGBD sensor can learn your home better and offer dynamic obstacles avoidance. The smart app allows you to alter a variety of settings including AI cleaning and virtual boundaries.

The X2 Combo also has self-preparation. Both the robot vacuum and mop return to their charging station at the end of each job to clean their pads and empty the dust bins, and place the debris into a self sealing bag. This helps to keep the system clean and also prevents allergens from recirculating. The battery's life is enough to remove large areas without the need for the battery to be charged mid-clean.

4. Eufy S1 Pro

As one of the premium robot vacuum and mop models, the Eufy S1 Pro offers impressive features for its price. It is equipped with a powerful 8,000 Pa suction, a rotary floor brush for carpets, and a great obstacle avoidance. It also features an innovative mopping technique that uses a roller constantly sprayed with water to collect dirt and deposit it into the dirty water tank.

Its navigation technology performed well in navigating close to walls without crashing, and avoiding steps. It struggled with fine debris and didn't always clear the raised thresholds in rooms. Its operating noise level is also very high, which means this model might not be as easy to set and forget as the other models.

As with most robotic vacuums and mops the S1 Pro comes with a docking station that allows you to refill its clean water, empty its dustbin and mop pad, and wash and dry its mop. This makes maintenance easy and lets the S1 Pro spend more time cleaning floors in line with an established schedule. Eufy's app allows you to control all its functions. It gives a clear overview with plenty of options for configuration.

5. Freo X Ultra

The Freo X Ultra is one of the best robot mowers available, and it offers an impressive mix of mopping and vacuuming performance. Its LIDAR mapping sensor can detect furniture legs and other obstacles with good accuracy, and the app lets users fine-tune map coverage, create no-go zones, and modify cleaning preferences. The Freo's brush is designed to prevent hair from wrapping around it. This can be an issue with a lot of 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 includes smart carpet detection, lifting these pads upwards when they're near soft surfaces to prevent contamination of them with.

The docking station is an automated maintenance center that is able to wash and dry the mops and refills them with detergent and distilled water. The base station also features integrated dust processing that compacts dust for seven weeks of uninterrupted operation, unlike conventional robot vacuums which empty their dust bins every time they are emptied.

6. S10

A few hundred dollars more than the S8, this robot is a slick job of keeping my office spotless and also take on the corners of my tight apartment. It uses laser mapping and camera to create a 3D map of your home, so it knows what to stay clear of. It also has a detector for objects and obstructions that can block things like toys and dog bowls (but not Poop) unlike most vacuums.

It also comes with other notable features, like the self-emptying dustbin and a mop pad self-washing and adjustable to the temperature of the water and a side-reaching brush that can reach places that other mops don't. You can also customize the settings for each room and create cleaning schedules.

Similar to the S8, it has multi-room smart mapping, and can distinguish between laminate, carpets and hardwood rugs with high-pile. If you're looking to save time, it can even skip cleaning rooms that aren't dirty. It's a great choice when you have a mix of flooring in your home but don't want to spend the extra money for a Roborock with advanced mapping features.

7. Q5 Pro

If you're looking for a flexible robot vacuum and mop that can handle regular maintenance and touch-ups for wet messes, this little robot is an excellent option. It has a wide range of features like the ability to empty the dustbin on its own, an additional water refill dock, as well as customizable settings in the app. It's extremely quiet and can move 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 test.

With a cost of less than $250 and less than $250, the Q5 Pro is a bargain-friendly device that packs powerful suction and useful automation into a slick design. It didn't perform as well as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra in our tests for vacuuming however, it did quite well. It also comes with a range of cleaning modes to suit your needs, from the low-power 'Quiet' mode for light debris to the more powerful 'Turbo' option for carpeted rooms. It even has the ability to automatically remove and reattach its mop pads without getting your carpets wet.

8. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is an excellent robot mop and vacuum cleaner that can be used in small spaces. It is very silent and fast and it is able to navigate tight spaces well. It's also extremely effective in removing pet hair from carpeting.

vacuum bot  than its rivals however, it doesn't compromise any features. It has a decent amount of suction power, and it's possible to take photos of every object it finds (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. The photos are encrypted and are not tied to your account.


It is capable of vaccuming, but it isn't as good at mopping. It makes use of disposable wipes that clip onto the bot's bottom, and then drags them across the floor. Compare this with the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Narwhal, which have water reservoirs and automatically wash and reattach their mophead.
