Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum-mop combinations can be customized using a specialized application. You can save maps of your house, create cleaning schedules and select mopping modes. You can also alter the suction power, as well as how much water your mop consumes.
A mapping feature helps your robot navigate around rooms, while an obstacle avoidance feature helps it avoid hitting furniture, wires or stray pet toys. These are essential features for my home, which is filled with toys that are scattered about.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the flagship mop and vacuum cleaner, so it's a natural choice to be packed with features. It's able to mop and sweep in one session and can raise its mop pads and brushes to prevent soft surfaces from becoming too damp. vacuum bot can detect and avoid obstacles, with the ability to spot pet toys plants, a variety of small objects.
The robotic vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals which is more than any other robot vacuum we've tested. It also has PreciSense LiDAR navigation to track its position, preventing it from getting stuck on objects.
The mopping capabilities of the S8 Pro Ultra are also impressive. It can provide constant pressure to the pad at more than 6 Newtons for a thorough clean. It also features an automatic mop lifting system, which will lift the pad as it moves from laminate to tile hardwood, carpets and rugs to prevent soaking these types of soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing, and self-drying features. The pad can be rinsing and heat-drying within the dock. The dust bin will automatically empty and return to the dock. This means you can just leave it in place and forget it, only having to change the dust bag or refill the water tank every now and then.
All of this is powered by a 5,200mAh lithium-ion battery. I ran it on its standard vac and mop settings for approximately 160 minutes before the S8 Pro Ultra started to run low on power and returned to its base to recharge. This isn't too far from the 180 minutes Roborock claims and is at par other hybrids I've tested.
This is a highly well-rounded and capable product, with the only downside being that it's costly. The number of features make it a very attractive option for anyone looking to replace their old stick vacuums and mops. If you are able to justify the cost we recommend you check this one out.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop combo. Its price is justified by its powerful feature set, which includes the capacity to vacuum large volumes and two gyrating mop mops. It also includes an app-based controller that is smart and a powerful obstacle avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop sets available with a suggested retail price of 999 euros. In my tests, it was able to perform well in all areas of the house, removing 98.4 percent of debris from all floor types and managing to lift long hair without tangling. The mops also performed well and produced excellent cleaning results with less effort than mid-range models, due to their rotational motion and an incredibly strong cleaning solution.
The docking station is the real selling feature of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and modern. The dock emptys its dustbin into dirt bag, then refills its water tank to enable mopping and dries its mop pads for you. It has a real-time hazards detection system, and its intelligent controls allow you to schedule periodic cleaning sessions.
The L10S Ultra does not offer the best performance in removing carpet debris compared to the other hybrid mop I tested. The mops of the L10S Ultra are not as effective in removing stubborn staining as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra’s high-end features, it requires regular maintenance. To avoid mildew and unpleasant odors, the base station dustbag, water, and tanks need to be cleaned regularly, emptied, and dried. It is also important to note that the mop pads which are purchased separately, will need to be replaced regularly too.
With the L10S Ultra's pricey pricing and its extensive features I would highly recommend it to anyone who has the budget for it. If you're on a smaller budget, I suggest a more rudimentary model that will allow you to save money while still enjoying clean hands at home. Even it were the case that the L10S Ultra was the best robotic mop and vacuum combination you could find however, its price and ongoing maintenance will make it more of an item to have than one that you actually need.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop you require to tidy up mess and get rid of dirt from your floors. This high-powered robovac and mop combo packs an impressive 8,000 Pa of suction power, an impressively large battery that can be used for mopping and vacuuming and a top-of-the-line obstacles-avoiding. It has a roller-mop that is self-cleaning which makes it stand out among other models that require you to return to the base station to wash off the mop pad.
The S1 Pro has a unique mopping system that is a departure from the spinning discs and microfibre pads found in other robots. The roller is almost the entire length of the robot and it is supplied with a continuous supply of fresh water that is filtered and ozonated from the dock. The roller scrubs the floor while taking in dirt. Any dry debris is swept away with the side brushes or swept away into the front collision bumper. The S1 Pro dumps dirty mop water into its base station, where it is sucked by the heater elements of the tank and emptied into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard holds plenty of water and can handle about half a dozen mopping sessions before running dry.
Like most robot vacuums and mop combinations like the S1 Pro is ready to take it out of the box. The S1 Pro does need to be refilled with clean water. This is easily accomplished in the cleaning dock. You can also add cleaning solution to the dock if you prefer to have the option of using your own cleaner. If you decide to use this feature however, you'll need to buy the Eufy-branded cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands that allow users to select their own choice of cleaners.
Like many robots, the S1 Pro did well in the area of coverage and navigation efficiency. It was quick to map the space and was able to navigate around furniture. The only issue is that it got stuck a couple of times on longer pile carpets and rugs in my tests however this can be rectified when the software is upgraded. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that provides a lot of functionality at an affordable price.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's entry-level mop and vacuum cleaner, but it still has some impressive features. Its multifunction dock empties the robot's dirtbag and refills its water tanks, washing and sanitizing mop pads as it moves. The mopping system itself is capable cleaning up a significant portion of a space before returning to its dock and the vacuum's powerful suction does a nice job of picking up debris and pet hair on carpets.
The application that runs this appliance is complex, with a broad variety of options to personalize the cleaning process. You can clean manually all areas that are mapped by this device, or select individual rooms, expandable zone, or a routine you've developed. SmartPlan is one of the mopping options. It makes use of the sensors on the mops to map out the area and determine the most efficient way to clean it.
The Qrevo was a great performer during our tests, just as all Roborock models we've evaluated. Its navigation system is solid that can quickly map rooms and cleaning them in a neat way. The 'Normal' setting for pathing does an excellent job of covering a space, with no major gaps or missing areas. The Reactive Tech hazard avoidance system is quite reliable, too although it's not as sophisticated as the color camera system of the Qrevo Master or the S8 Pro Ultra. It can detect dangers such as carpets that are thick, but it might not be able to identify smaller objects like rug tassels and electrical wires.
This device has a major problem: it doesn't offer a mop after vacuuming. This could be a problem for those who vacuum a lot before using their robot. Thankfully, there's an easy solution: the app offers an option to "clean up" at the end of each session. This lets you utilize the mopping function of the vacuum to get rid of the last remnants of dust and debris that you've left behind from your vacuuming. This is a nice feature that helps this robot clean a little better than its competitors with lower prices.
