Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuums and mops can be customised using an app that can save the maps of your home as well as set cleaning schedules and select mopping options. You can also adjust the suction power, and the amount of water your mop consumes.
A mapping feature helps your robot navigate through rooms and obstacles, while an obstacle avoidance function prevents it from running into wires, furniture, or even stray pet toys. These features are essential for my home, which is full of toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the flagship mop and vacuum cleaner, so it is naturally with features. It's able to both mop and sweep in one session and even lift its mop pads and brushes to stop soft surfaces from becoming wet. It can also stay clear of obstacles by spotting pet toys, plants and other small objects.
The robot vacuum's maximum suction power is 6 000 pascals. This is the highest power of any vacuum we've test to date. It is also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR Navigation to track its location, preventing it from becoming stuck on objects.
Mopping capabilities are also impressive and features the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of 6 Newtons to the mop pad to provide a deep clean. It also has mop lifter technology that lifts the pad automatically when it changes between tile and laminate, hardwood and carpet or rugs, in order to prevent soaking soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. 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, and only need to clean the dust bag and refill the water tank occasionally.
All of this is powered by a lithium-ion 5,200mAh battery. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its usual mop and vac-settings for approximately 160 minutes before it started to run out of power, and then returned to its base to recharge. This isn't too far from the 180 minutes that Roborock claims and is at the same level as other hybrids I've tried.
It's a robust, well-rounded product. The only issue is that it's costly. But its abundance of features makes it a very tempting choice for anyone looking to ditch their old stick vacuum and mop. If you can afford the price we strongly recommend checking this one out.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop combination. The price is justified by its robust features, such as a huge vacuuming capacity and two gyrating mop heads. It also comes with an app-enabled smart control system and powerful obstacle-avoidance technology.
The L10S Ultra has a retail price of 999 Euros, which is among the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop combinations available. In my tests, it performed well in all areas of the home, taking out 98.4% of debris on all floor types and managing to lift long hair without knots. The mops were also excellent in delivering outstanding cleaning results with less effort than mid-range models due to their rotational motion as well as an incredibly strong cleaning solution.
The docking station is the primary selling aspect of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and sophisticated. The dock empties its dustbin into dirt bag, fills its water tank to enable mopping, and dry the mop pads for you. It is equipped with a real-time danger detection system, and its sophisticated controls allow you to schedule periodic cleaning sessions.
The L10S Ultra does not offer better performance for removing carpet debris when compared to the other hybrid vacuum mop I tried. 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 top-of-the-line 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. The mop pads sold separately will need to be changed periodically.
I would recommend the L10S Ultra to anyone with the budget. For those who are on a tighter budget, I would suggest a less basic model that will allow you to save money while still enjoying the convenience of hands-free cleaning at your home. It's important to note that even it's true that the L10S Ultra is the best robotic vacuum and mop combination you can purchase however, its cost and constant maintenance will eventually make it more of a desire than a necessity.
3. 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 high-powered mop and robovac combo packs a strong suction force of 8,000 Pa as well as a massive battery capacity to power both vacuuming and mowing and top-quality obstacles-avoiding. It even comes with an automatic mop that cleans itself while moving and makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that have to return to their base station mid-clean in order to clean the mop pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a major difference from the microfibre pads and spinning discs used in other robots. The roller is almost the entire width of the robot, and it is supplied with a continuous supply of fresh water that is filtered and ozonated from the dock. When it turns the roller scrubs your floors while soaking up dirt and any dry debris is picked up by the side brushes, or swept into the front colision bumper. The S1 Pro dumps dirty mop water into its base station, where it is sucked up by the heater elements of the tank and empty into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard holds a good amount of water, and it can manage about a dozen mopping sessions before going dry.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use straight out of the box, just like most other robotic vacuums/mops. The S1 Pro does need to be filled with clean water. This can be 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 robot vacuum cleaners best choose this feature, however, you will have to purchase the Eufy-branded cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands allowing users to select their own choice of cleaning solutions.
Like many robots, the S1 Pro did well in navigation efficiency and coverage evaluations. It was quick to map out a space and navigated around furniture. It was stuck on carpets with longer piles a few times during my tests. However, this could be improved by updating the software. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that offers many functions at a an affordable price.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's cheapest mop and vacuum, but it still has some amazing features. The dock's multifunction allows emptying the robot's dirtbag and refilling its water tanks and cleaning and sanitizing the mop pads is done by the dock. The mopping system itself is capable of cleaning a large portion of a space before it needs to return to its dock and the vacuum's powerful suction is capable of removing debris and pet hair on carpets.
The application that runs the appliance is quite dense, and offers various options for customizing the cleaning process. You can clean manually all areas that are mapped by this device, or choose individual rooms, expandable zone, or a routine you've created. There are a number of mopping options, including SmartPlan -- an algorithm that utilizes the sensors of the mops to find the most efficient way to clean your home while it maps the space.
The Qrevo did well in our tests, like all the Roborock models that we've test. Its navigation system is reliable that can quickly map rooms and cleaning them in a systematic way. The 'Normal' setting for pathing does an excellent job of covering a room, leaving no gaps or missing areas. Reactive Tech's hazard-avoidance feature works well, but it is not as advanced as color camera systems on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It can detect hazards such as thick carpets however it won't always recognize smaller things like rug tassels, or electrical wires.
The most obvious flaw with this model is the absence of a mop after vacuum option which could be an issue for people who do a lot of vacuuming before cleaning with their robot. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: the app offers an option to "clean up" at the end of each vacuuming session. The mopping features of the vacuum to get rid of the last traces and dust that remained after vacuuming. It's a nice addition and can help the robot to make its clean better than its cheaper rivals.
