Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems

This robot vacuum mop is a great option for flat dwellers, as it carries the rubbish away in its own bin and uses a smaller docking station. Its app allows you to select different modes and monitor cleaning, plus the mopping function is impressive.

Its mapping, obstacle avoidance, and mops are impressive. It can pick up pet hair, spillages, and dirt. It also self-empties and cleans and replenishes its water tank.

iRobot Roomba Combo

The iRobot Combo is a robot that is able to mop and vacuum. It's not quite able to compete with our current Editors' Choice, the Deebot X1 Omni, which offers more cleaning power and an app that is easier to use on mobile devices, but it does make for a strong alternative. It consistently picked up dirt from carpets and hard floors. Its obstacle avoidance system isn't the most advanced in the world, as it lacks structured light and other technologies like LiDAR, but it still managed to prevent most collisions with furniture and other clutter.

The Combo has the same features as the j7 Plus, including the latest onboard acoustic sensors that identify the type of floor and AI-powered navigation. However, it isn't able to set suction power manually. It's also smaller than the vac-only version and doesn't include self-emptying docks.

The Combo is one of my top choices for homes with a lot of space. Its sleek design is also among the most attractive I've seen in the industry. The clean, matte black plastic looks better than the majority of competitors' glossy or metallic finishes, and iRobot's small details--like a leather tab to open the onboard bin and a shelf in the dock that can hold additional bags--are more elegant than the majority of its competitors'. The iRobot Combo also allows you to easily create maps of your home, and to create Keep-Out Zones, No-Mop Zones and Clean Zones.

Roborock

Roborock, a relatively recent player in the robotic vacuum and mop market has already made its mark with innovative cleaning technology. Its vacuums feature industry-leading suction power, and the mopping systems of the brand come with vibrating mops that can scrub floors to remove dirt. You can also modify the cleaning process of the bot using a variety and mapping options.

Another outstanding Roborock feature is the obstacle avoidance, which lets the robot detect objects lower than its height. This is especially helpful for the most popular Roborock models, like the Qrevo Master, which is the best in its class in terms of navigation thanks to both vSLAM and LiDAR. Other robovacs have been known to slam into pet waste and slam furniture with no awareness. The Qrevo Master however, addresses this issue by utilizing the Reactive Artificial Intelligence system which makes use of dual cameras to detect objects within the room.

Roborock robots have a variety of convenience features to reduce maintenance. They include docks that can be automatically empty and mop-washing stations that have many functions. These features eliminate the need to empty dustbins or wash mops manually, allowing to enjoy a hands-free ownership experience. The app is simple to use thanks to its easy-to-use layout and its lag-free communication with the robot.

Hobot Legee D8

Hobot Legee, with its broad variety of cleaning features integrated and advanced mopping features, is one of the best robot vacuums/mops available for both dry and wet floors. Its advanced navigation system blends five different technologies to plan and execute a route that is the most efficient. It can also recognize different flooring materials, as well as obstacles with pinpoint accuracy. It can even raise itself 7mm to glide across carpets. Smart spray system makes the right amount of water to aid in stain removal without leaving marks.

The Legee, an Gen 4 Robot, competes directly with the Eufy Robovac X9 or Ecovacs Deebot T20. Both models cost more. It is more advanced, including a flexible D-shaped robot that can clean corners and under cabinets better than a round one. Its sensors include 360deg 3D (Lidar, Encoder, Gyro E-compass), four forward-facing and one right-side-facing FDS (IR ToF sensors for distance) and two pairs of cliff detectors front and back (most robots have just one pair). It also includes Legee SLAM to reduce the bump-and-grind issues that plague Gen 4 robots.

The Legee is distinct from other robots in that it includes a trash compactor and utilizes the more quiet 5 GHz band of Wi-Fi. The LuLu mop washing station comes included and can wash, refill and dry your mop's 'cloth. The mop can be used for up to six times longer than other mops. It also cuts down on waste and frequency of bin emptying.

Karcher RCV 5

Karcher, known for its gardening tools and pressure washers has been experimenting with robot vacuums for some time. This is the most advanced model from the brand. Based on LiDAR technology, it creates maps of your home that can be programmed to mop or vacuum. It can also tell the distinction between carpets and hard floors, so that you don't end up with puddles on a precious pile.

Its navigation is top-quality, avoiding carpets and furniture with ease and even lifting itself up over steps. The robot is programmable with a variety of settings, including cleaning schedules and the rooms it will clean. It also comes with an emergency button that can oblige the robot to return to its base in the event that it is unable to supply power and can be programmed to automatically shut off when a storm is approaching.

The RCV 5 is easy to use and, although quite large at almost 4kg, it's not too difficult to maneuver around furniture. Children with small hands will appreciate the safety features like sensors that warn it to avoid the stairs. After charging it takes only a few hours to recharge and the two buttons on the top will blink green to let you know it is ready for action.

Mova E30 Ultra

The Mova E30 Ultra is a robot vacuum cleaner that balances modern cleaning technology with affordability. It is a rival to models like the Dreame L10 Ultra and Roborock's Q Revo. Despite its less expensive price, the Mova E30 Ultra offers features that more expensive models can't match. It makes use of sensors to adjust the settings for different surfaces and floors and also to detect dirtier areas. It also moves at a a slower pace to prevent damage to furniture and walls.

The device can map the interior of your home, which you can view through the app. You can also mark areas and objects that you would like the vacuum to stay away from. The vacuum will slow down when it spots an obstruction and will avoid getting into it. It also comes with smart dustbins that notify you when it's full, so you can empty it before you need to.

The Mova E30 Ultra offers a affordable option for those who want to outsource their daily cleaning tasks. It is a robot mop and vacuum that will clean your floors without you having to lift a single finger. It also has a smart design that boosts corner cleaning efficiency by up to 60%. It comes with a suction capacity of up to 7,000 Pa and RoboSwing arm, which can be controlled by the app or voice assistants such as Alexa or Siri.

Beko RCV3

The Beko Robotic Vacuum/Mop RCV3 a stylish, feature-packed robot vacuum and mop. It does a great job of keeping floors tidy and clean. Although it isn't able to raise its mop on carpets and rugs like the winning Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra it's excellent at cleaning hard floors and taking on mopping tasks with a remarkable speed. It has a self emptying bin, a high degree of suction, a variety of mopping options, and a top-quality app that works both on iOS and Android.

It's a bit smaller than the competition and its main brush is shorter than others, but it managed to make short work of our test room easily. The rotating brush on the side for edges is a nice feature and, despite the fact that it didn't remove dirt from our rugs as well as other competitors, it did a very good job overall.

The device can be programmed with specific cleaning parameters for each room. It will then create detailed maps using LiDAR's built-in navigation. The app is simple to use and comes with various options for voice output that can keep you informed of the progress of your robot. Regular updates to the software enhance and increase the performance. The app can be used to remotely manage the RCV3 even when you are away from home.
