Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum and mop combinations can be customized with a specialized application. You can save your home's maps and create cleaning schedules and choose mopping modes. They also allow you to alter suction power and fine-tune how much water and the scrubbing action of your mop.
A mapping function will help your robot navigate through rooms. An obstacle avoidance feature will stop it from running into wires, furniture or even stray toys. These features are crucial in my house, which is full of toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the company's flagship mop and vacuum cleaner, so it is naturally with a host of features. It's able to both sweep and mop in one session and can raise its brushes and mop pads to prevent soft surfaces from becoming wet. It can also avoid obstacles by finding pets, plants, and other small objects.
The maximum suction power is 6 000 pascals. This is the highest power of any robot vacuum we have examined so far. It also comes with PreciSense LiDAR Navigation to track its location, preventing it from getting stuck on an object.
The mopping capabilities of the S8 Pro Ultra are also impressive. It can continuously apply pressure to the pad that is more than 6 Newtons for a thorough clean. It also has a mop lifter system that lifts the pad automatically as it changes between tile and laminate hardwood, carpet or rugs, in order to prevent soaking soft surfaces.
Additionally it is also the S8 Pro Ultra 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. You can set it and forget about it. You will only need to refill the water tank, or change the dust bag every now and then.
All of this is powered by a lithium-ion 5,200mAh battery. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its standard vac- and mop-settings for about 160 minutes before it started to lose power, and then returned to its base to recharge. This is not far off of the 180-minute time that Roborock claims and is comparable with other hybrids that I've test.
This is a highly complete and robust product, with its only downsides being that it's expensive. But its abundance of features makes it a tempting option for anyone who wants to go away from their old stick vacuum and mop. We highly recommend this vacuum if you can justify its cost.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop combination. The premium price is justified by the powerful features, including a large vacuuming capability and two gyrating mop heads. It also comes with an app-enabled smart control system and an advanced obstacle-avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuums and mop sets available with a suggested retail price of 999 euros. In my tests, it performed admirably throughout the entire home. It was able to eliminate 98.4% debris on all kinds of floors and was able to lift hair that was long without getting caught up in. The mops also performed well with excellent cleaning results with less effort than many mid-range models. This was thanks to their rotational movement as well as an effective dose of cleaning solution.
The docking station is the primary selling aspect of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and advanced. The docking station empties the trash bin into a bag that can be used for dirt, fills up the water tank for mopping, and even dry mop pads. It is equipped with a real-time danger detection system, and its intelligent controls let you schedule periodic cleaning sessions.
Contrary to the other hybrid mops I tried, the L10S Ultra doesn't offer advanced dirt pickup on carpets. The mops on the L10S Ultra aren't as effective in removing stubborn stains as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra's premium features, it still requires regular maintenance. To avoid mildew and unpleasant odors, the base unit, dustbag, and water tanks must be cleaned regularly, emptied, and dried. The mop pads that are sold separately will also require changing regularly.
With the L10S Ultra's pricey price tag and extensive functionality I would recommend it to anyone with the budget for it. If you're on a budget, I recommend a more basic model that lets you to save money and enjoy hands-free cleaning at your home. Even if the L10S Ultra was the best robotic mop and vacuum combination you could buy, its high cost and constant maintenance will make it seem more a want than need.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop you require to tidy up mess and clean dirt off your hard floors. This high-powered mop and robovac combo packs an impressive 8,000 Pa of suction power and a huge battery that can be used for both vacuuming and mowing and top-quality obstacle avoidance. It has a mop with a roller 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 uses a unique mopping system that is a major departure from the microfibre pads and spinning discs used in other robots. The roller is almost the entire length of the robot and it gets a constant supply of clean, ozonated filtered water from the dock. The roller scrubs the floor while soaking up dirt. Dry debris is swept away with the side brushes, or swept away into the front bumper. The S1 Pro removes the dirty mop water into its base station where it is sucked in by the tank's heater elements, and then emptied into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard can hold a substantial amount of water and handle up to half a dozen mopping sessions before rushing out.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use out of the package as do other robotic vacuums/mops. The S1 Pro needs to be refilled with clean water. This can be done in the cleaning dock. If you'd like to make use of your own cleaner, you can add cleaning solution to dock. If you opt for this option, however, you will be required to purchase the Eufy brand cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands allowing you to use your choice of cleaners.
The S1 Pro performed well in the coverage and navigation efficiency tests, as did the majority of robots. It was quick to map a space and navigated around furniture. It was stuck on carpets with longer piles a few times during my tests. However it could be improved by updating the software. The S1 Pro is a very powerful robot that can be bought at affordable prices.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's basic mop and vacuum, but it still offers some impressive 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. automated vacuum cleaner mopping system is able to sweep a large area before returning to its dock. The vacuum's suction power is great for picking up pet hair and debris on carpets.
The app that runs this appliance is dense, with a wide variety of options to personalize the cleaning process. You can manually clean all areas that are mapped by this device, or select specific rooms, zones that can be expanded, or a routine you've developed. SmartPlan is one of the mopping options. It makes use of 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 examined, the Qrevo does well in our tests. Its navigation system is solid that can quickly map rooms and cleaning them in a neat way. The default pathing setting does an excellent job of covering a room, leaving no major gaps or missing areas. Reactive Tech's hazard avoidance works well, but it's not as sophisticated as color camera systems on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It can detect hazards like carpets that are thick, but it may not be able identify smaller objects like electrical wires or rug tassels.
The machine has a major flaw: it does not offer a mop after vacuuming. This could be a problem for those who vacuum frequently prior to using their robot. There's a good alternative: the app has the option to "clean up" at the end of every vacuuming session. This allows you to use the vacuum's mopping capability to remove the last traces of dust and debris that you've left behind from the vacuuming. It's a nice addition, and it helps the robot make its clean better than its competitors with lower prices.
