Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum-mop combinations can be customised using a specialized app to save the maps of your home as well as set cleaning schedules and select mopping options. They also allow you to alter suction power and fine tune the amount of water and the scrubbing action of your mop.
A mapping feature aids your robot navigate rooms and obstacles, while an obstacle avoidance feature will stop it from hitting wires, furniture or other pet toys. These features are vital for my home that is filled with toys.
- Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the flagship mop and vacuum cleaner, so it is naturally with a host of features. It's able to mop and sweep in a single session and even raise its brushes and mop pads to prevent soft surfaces from becoming wet. It also has the ability to see and avoid obstacles, thanks to the ability to spot pets plants, a variety of small objects.
The maximum suction power is 6,000 pascals. This is higher than any vacuum we've examined to date. It also has PreciSense LiDAR navigation, which tracks its position, preventing it from getting stuck on objects.
The mopping function is impressive and features the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of 6 Newtons to the mop pad to provide an intense clean. It also has mop lifter which lifts the pad automatically when it transitions between tile and laminate hardwood, carpet or rugs, in order to avoid soaking the soft surfaces.
In addition to this in addition, the S8 Pro Ultra has self-washing and self-drying functions. The pad can be washed and dried in the dock, and the dust bin is automatically emptied and returned to it. You can set it up and forget about it. It is only necessary to refill the water tank, or change the dust bag every now and then.
This is all powered by a lithium-ion battery of 5,200mAh. I tested it with its normal vac and mop settings for around 160 minutes before the S8 Pro Ultra started to run low on power and return to its base to recharge. This isn't far off from the 180-minute time that Roborock claims and is on par other hybrids I've tested.
It's a well-rounded, capable product. The only issue is that it's expensive. However, its sheer abundance of features makes it a very appealing alternative for anyone who wishes to go away from their old stick vacuum and mops. If you can afford the price we recommend you check this one out.
- Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a high-end combination. The high price is justified by the robust features, which include a massive vacuuming capability, as well as two mop heads that gyrate. It also includes an app-based, smart controller and a mighty obstacle avoidance technology.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuums and mop combinations out there with a suggested retail price of 999 euros. In my testing it was able to perform well in all areas of the home, taking out 98.4 percent of debris from all floor types and managing to lift long hair with no knots. The mops also performed admirably and produced excellent results for cleaning with less effort than many mid-range models. This was thanks to their rotational motion and the powerful cleaning solution.
The docking station is the main selling point of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and sophisticated. The docking station emptys the trash bin into a bag to collect dirt, refills the water tank to use to mop and also dry mop pads. It has a real-time hazards detection system, and its sophisticated controls allow you to schedule regular cleaning sessions.
Unlike the other hybrid vacuum mops I tested The L10S Ultra doesn't offer advanced dirt pickup on carpets. Additionally the mops aren't capable at scrubbing away staining that is as strong as those in the top Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra’s high-end features, it still requires regular maintenance. To prevent the growth of mildew or unpleasant odors, the base station dustbag, water and tanks need to be cleaned, emptied and dried regularly. It is also important to remember that the mop pads which are bought separately must be replaced periodically too.
With the L10S Ultra's high-end price tag and extensive functionality, I would recommend it to anyone who has the money for it. For those who are on a smaller budget, I would suggest a more rudimentary model that allows you to save money while still enjoying clean hands at your home. Even even if the L10S Ultra was the best vacuum and robotic mop you could find but its cost and frequent maintenance will make it seem more an option than a necessity.
- Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop you require to tidy up mess and remove dirt from your floors. This powerful robovac/mop set-up comes with a powerful suction power of 8,000 Pa. It also has an enormous battery capacity that can be used for both vacuuming as well as mowing. It's also fitted with a top-notch obstacle-avoidance system. It comes with a roller-mop that cleans by itself which makes it stand out from other models which require you to return to the base station to wash off the mop pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a big difference from the microfibre pads and spinning discs of other robots. The roller is almost the entire width of the robot, and it receives a constant supply of clean water that is filtered and ozonated from the dock. The roller scrubs the floor while soaking up dirt. Any dry debris is swept away with the side brushes or swept into the front collision bumper. The S1 Pro then dumps the dirty mop water into its base station which is then sucked up by the tank's heating elements before being then pumped into a larger storage container. The onboard tank holds plenty of water and can manage about a dozen mopping sessions before running dry.
Like many robotic vacuums and mop combos The S1 Pro is ready to roll out from the box. The S1 Pro will need to be filled with clean water. This is easily done in the cleaning dock. If you'd like to use your own cleaner, you can add cleaning solution to the dock. However, if you do choose to use this feature, you'll need to purchase the brand-name cleaning solution from Eufy, which is more expensive than other robot brands that allow you to use your own choice of cleaners.
As with most robots like it, the S1 Pro did well in accuracy in navigation and coverage tests. It was quick to map a room, and it was able to navigate around furniture. It got stuck on carpets with thick piles several times during my tests. However this could be improved by updating the software. The S1 Pro is a very capable all-in-one robot for affordable prices.
- Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's cheapest mop and vacuum, but it still offers some impressive features. The dock's multifunction emptying the robot's dirtbag and refilling its water tanks, as well as washing and sanitizing mop pads is performed by the dock. The mopping system itself is capable cleaning a good bit of an area before it needs to return to its dock, and the vacuum's extreme suction is capable of removing debris and pet hair on carpets.
The application that runs the appliance is quite extensive, and provides a variety of options to customize the cleaning process. You can clean manually all areas that this device maps or choose individual rooms, expandable zone, or a routine you've created. There are several mopping options which include SmartPlan -- an algorithm that utilizes the mops' sensors to find the most efficient way to tidy your home as it maps the space.
The Qrevo did well during our tests, just like all the Roborock models we've tested. Its navigation system is solid it can map rooms quickly and cleaning them in an organized way. Its "Normal" pathing settings cover the room thoroughly, without any major gaps or missed areas. The Reactive Tech hazard avoidance system works fairly well, too however it's not as sophisticated as the color camera system of the Qrevo Master or the S8 Pro Ultra. It can identify hazards such as thick carpets, but it may not always detect small things like rug tassels, or electrical wires.
One of the biggest flaws of this model is the absence of a mop-after-vacuum option, which could be a problem for those who do a lot of vacuuming before cleaning with their robot. There's a simple solution to this issue: the app offers a feature that allows you to "clean up" at the conclusion of each vacuuming session. The vacuum's mopping functions to remove the last traces and dust that are left behind after vacuuming. This is a nice feature that helps this robot to clean up a bit better than its less expensive competitors.
