Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
Most robot vacuum-mop combos can be customized using a specialized app to save your home's maps, set cleaning schedules and select mopping options. You can also adjust the suction power, as well as how much water your mop uses.
A mapping function helps your robot navigate through rooms. A feature for avoiding obstacles prevents it from running over furniture, wires, or stray toys. These are essential features for my house, stuffed with toys that are scattered about.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the flagship mop and vacuum, so it naturally comes with a host of features. It can sweep and mop simultaneously, and even lift its mop pads or brushes to ensure that soft surfaces don't get too wet. It can also see and avoid obstacles, thanks to the ability to spot pet toys plants, a variety of small objects.
The robot vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals, which is more than any other robot vacuum we've tested up to now. It's also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR navigation to track its position, preventing it from getting stuck on objects.
Its mopping functionality is also impressive and the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply constant pressure of over 6 Newtons to the mop pad to provide deep cleaning. It also comes with an automatic mop lifting system, which lifts the pad as it moves from tile to laminate hardwood, carpets and rugs to prevent the possibility of soaking these soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. The pad can be rinsed and then dried with the dock and the dust container will get emptied and automatically returned to it. This means you can just set it and forget it, only having to replace the dust bag or refill the water tank every now and then.
All this is powered by a lithium-ion 5,200mAh battery. I tested it with its standard vac and mop settings for about 160 minutes before the S8 Pro Ultra started to run low on power and returned to its base for a recharge. This is within the range of the 180 minutes Roborock claims, and is on par with other hybrids I've tried.
It's a comprehensive, reliable product. The only issue is that it's costly. The sheer amount of features makes it an appealing choice for anyone looking to replace their old stick vacuums and mops. We highly recommend this model when you can justify the cost.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a high-end combination. Its price is justified by its impressive features, which include a large vacuuming capacity and two gyrating mop mops. It comes with an app-enabled smart controller and an advanced obstacle-avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra has a retail price of 999 euros, which is one of the highest robotic vacuum and mop combinations available. In my tests, it performed well in all areas of the house, removing 98.4% of debris on all floor types and managing to lift long hair with no tangling. The mops also performed admirably with excellent cleaning results with less effort than mid-range models. This was due to their rotational motion and the powerful cleaning solution.
The docking station is the primary selling aspect of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and sophisticated. The dock emptys its dust bin into a dirt bag, refills its water tank to enable mopping, and dries its mop pads for you. It also features an in-real-time system for detecting hazards and allows you to schedule regular cleaning sessions using its smart controls.
Contrary to the other hybrid mops I've tested and compared, the L10S Ultra doesn't offer advanced debris pickup performance on carpets. The mops on the L10S Ultra aren't as effective in removing tough staining as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
In spite of the L10S Ultra's numerous high-end features, it still requires regular care and maintenance. Its base station needs to be emptied, and the water tank and dust bag must be emptied, cleaned and dried on a regular basis to avoid mildew and unpleasant odors. It is also important to remember that the mop pads, which are bought separately are required to be replaced periodically too.
I would recommend the L10S Ultra to anyone with the budget. For those who are on a tighter budget, I suggest considering an easier model that allows you to save money while still enjoying clean hands at your home. It's worth noting that even it's true that the L10S Ultra is the best robotic vacuum and mop combination you can buy however, its price and ongoing maintenance will eventually make it more of a want rather than a requirement.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
If you're in search of a robot mop and vacuum that can pick up dirt and dust on your hard floors, while taking care of wet messes take a look at the Eufy S1 Pro. This powerful robovac/mop combination has a powerful suction power of 8,000 Pa. It also boasts a large battery capacity that can be used for mopping and vacuuming. robot hoover is also equipped with an excellent obstacle-avoidance system. It even comes with an automatic mop that cleans itself while moving this makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that require users to return to their base station mid-clean to wash off the mop's pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a significant departure from the microfibre pads and spinning discs used in other robots. The roller is almost entire length of the bot, and it is constantly dosed with ozonated, clean water from its dock. The roller scrubs the floor while collecting dirt. Any dry debris is removed using the side brushes or swept up into the front bumper. The S1 Pro removes the mop water that is dirty into its base station, where it is sucked by the heater elements of the tank and empty into a larger storage container. The onboard tank is able to hold a large amount of water, and can take on up to a dozen mopping session before running out.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use right out of the box as do most robotic vacuums/mops. It must be filled with clean water, however this is simple to do within the cleaning dock. If you want to use your own cleaner you can add a cleaning solution to dock. If you opt for this option, however, you will need to buy the Eufy-branded cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands, allowing users to select their own choice of cleaning solutions.
As with most robots, the S1 Pro did well in the area of coverage and navigation efficiency. It was quick to map a space and was able to navigate around furniture. The only issue is that it was stuck a few times on longer pile carpets and rugs during my testing however this can be rectified as the software is updated. The S1 Pro is a very capable all-in-one robot for affordable prices.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's entry-level mop and vacuum. However, it still has some amazing features. The dock's multifunction emptying the robot's dirtbag, refilling its water tanks and cleaning and sanitizing the mop pads is performed by the dock. The mopping system can sweep a large area before returning to its dock. The vacuum's extreme suction is great for picking up pet hair and debris on carpets.
The app that runs the appliance is quite dense, and offers various options for customizing the cleaning process. You can choose to manually clean all areas that this device maps or select individual rooms, expandable zone, or a routine you've developed. SmartPlan is one of the mopping options. It utilizes the sensors on the mops to map the area and determine the most efficient way to clean it.
Like all the Roborock models we've evaluated, the Qrevo is a great performer in our tests. Its navigation system performs well in locating rooms quickly and cleaning them in a well-organized way. Its "Normal" pathing option covers a room well, without any major gaps or missed areas. The Reactive Tech hazard avoidance system is also quite effective however it's not as sophisticated as the color camera system of the Qrevo Master or the S8 Pro Ultra. It is able to detect dangers like carpets with thick padding, but may not be able to recognize smaller items such as rug tassels and electrical wires.
The one glaring flaw of this model is the absence of a mop-after-vacuum option that could be a problem for people who spend a lot of time vacuuming prior to cleaning with their robot. There's a good alternative: the app has the option to "clean up" at the end of each vacuuming session. This allows you to use the mopping feature of the vacuum to get rid of the last remnants of debris and dust that are left behind by the vacuuming. It's a nice addition, and it helps the robot clean up a little bit better than its less expensive competitors.
