Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum-mop combinations can be customized using an app that can save your home's maps, set cleaning schedules and select mopping modes. You can also alter the suction power and fine-tune how much water and scrubbing action your mop uses.
A mapping feature aids your robot navigate through rooms and obstacles, while an obstacle avoidance function helps it avoid hitting furniture, wires or stray pet toys. These are essential features to have in my house, filled with toys scattered around.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the company's flagship vacuum and mop, is loaded with features. It can mop and sweep simultaneously, and can even lift its brushes or mop pads so that soft surfaces don't get too wet. It can also avoid obstacles by looking for pets, plants, and other small objects.
The robot vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals, which is more than any other robot vac we've tested. It's also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR navigation, which tracks its location, which prevents it from getting stuck on objects.
The mopping capabilities of the S8 Pro Ultra are also impressive. It can continuously apply pressure to the pad that is over 6 Newtons to ensure a thorough cleaning. It also has a mop lifter system that lifts the pad automatically as it changes between tile and laminate or hardwood flooring, as well as carpet or rugs to avoid soaking soft surfaces.
Additionally, the S8 Pro Ultra has self-washing and self-drying features. The pad can be cleaned and heat-dried within the dock and the dust bin is automatically empty and returned to it. This means you can just put it away and forget about it, and only need to change the dust bag or refill the water tank on occasion.
All of this is powered by a 5,200mAh lithium-ion battery. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its standard vac- and mop-settings for around 160 minutes before it started to lose power, and then returned to its base to recharge. This is not far off of the 180 minutes Roborock claims, and is on par with other hybrids that I've test.
This is a highly complete and robust product, with the only downside being the fact that it's expensive. However, its sheer abundance of features makes it a appealing option for anyone who wants to ditch their old stick vacuums and mop. If you can afford the price we strongly recommend checking this one out.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a high-end combination. The premium price is justified by the robust features, including a large vacuuming capacity and two mop heads that rotate. It also includes an app-based, smart controller and powerful obstacle avoidance technology.
The L10S Ultra has a retail price of 999 Euros which is among the most powerful robotic vacuums and mop combinations available. In my tests, it performed very well across the entire home. It was able to remove 98.4% debris on all types of floors and was able to lift long hair without getting caught in. The mops also performed admirably, achieving excellent cleaning results with less effort than many mid-range models. This was due to their rotational motion and the powerful cleaning solution.
The docking station is the main selling feature of the L10S Ultra. robotic hoovers and sophisticated. The docking station emptys the dustbin into a bag that can be used for dirt, then refills the tank with water to use to mop and also dry mop pads. It also features a real-time safety detection system and lets you schedule regular cleaning sessions with its smart controls.
The L10S Ultra does not offer better performance for removing carpet debris compared to the other hybrid mops I tested. Additionally it's not as capable at scrubbing away stubborn stains as those found in the premium Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
In spite of the L10S Ultra's top-of-the-line features, it requires regular maintenance and care. To avoid mildew and unpleasant odors, the base station dustbag, water, and tanks must be cleaned, emptied and dried regularly. The mop pads that are sold separately will require replacement every few months.
Given the L10S Ultra's premium cost and robust features, I would recommend it to anyone with the budget for it. If you're on a smaller budget, I would suggest a more rudimentary model that allows you to save money while still enjoying hands-free cleaning at home. Even it were the case that the L10S Ultra was the best robotic mop and vacuum combination you could buy however, its price and ongoing maintenance would make it more a want than need.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robotic vacuum and mop that will remove dust and dirt on your hard floors while taking care of wet mess, then take a look at the Eufy S1 Pro. This powerful robovac/mop combo has a powerful 8,000 Pa suction power. It also boasts an enormous battery capacity that can be used for vacuuming as well as mowing. It is also equipped with a top-quality obstacle-avoidance technology. It even has an automatic mop that cleans itself while moving and makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that require users to return to their base station mid-clean in order to wash off the mop's pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a big difference from the microfibre pads and spinning discs of other robots. Its roller runs almost the entire length of the bot, and it is constantly filled with ozonated, clean water from its dock. As it rotates the roller, it scrubs your floors while soaking up dirt and any dry debris is removed by the side brushes, or swept into the front colision 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 and then pumped into a larger storage canister. The tank onboard holds a decent amount of water, and can handle a half dozen mopping sessions before going dry.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use straight out of the box as do other robotic vacuums and mops. It will need to be filled with clean water, but this is a simple task by cleaning the dock. If you'd like to make use of your own cleaner, you can add cleaning solution to dock. If you choose this feature however, you'll need to buy the Eufy-branded cleaning solution that is more expensive than other robot brands, allowing you to choose your preferred brand of cleaning products.
The S1 Pro performed well in the coverage and navigation efficiency tests, as did most robots. It was quick to map a room, and it easily navigated around furniture. It sat on carpets with longer piles a couple of times during my tests. However, this could be improved by updating the software. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that has a lot of functionality at affordable prices.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's entry-level mop and vacuum, but it still has some amazing features. Its multi-function dock drains the robot's dirtbag, and refills its water tanks, as well as washing and sanitizing the mop pads as it goes. The mopping system is capable of cleaning up a significant portion of an area before returning to its dock and the vacuum's high suction does a nice job of removing dirt and pet hair on carpets.
The software that runs the appliance is quite dense, offering a wide choice of options for customizing the cleaning process. You can manually initiate a full map and clear everything that's been that is mapped by the device or you can pick specific rooms, expandable zones, or even a routine that you've created. 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.
The Qrevo was a great performer in our tests, just like all the Roborock models that we've evaluated. Its navigation system is reliable that can quickly map rooms and cleaning them in an organized way. The 'Normal' setting for pathing does an excellent job of covering a room, with no major gaps or missed areas. Reactive Tech's hazard-avoidance feature works well too, but it's not as advanced as the color camera systems on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It can detect the dangers of carpets that are thick but it might not always recognize smaller things such as rug tassels or electrical wires.
This machine has one major flaw: it does not include a mop option after vacuuming. This could be a problem for those who vacuum a lot before using their robot. There's a good solution: the app offers an option to "clean up" at the end of each session. You can make use of the vacuum's mopping functions to remove the last traces and dust that remained after vacuuming. It's a nice feature and can help this robot clean up a little bit better than its cheaper rivals.
