Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum-mop combinations can be customized with a specialized app to save your home's maps as well as set cleaning schedules and choose mopping modes. You can also alter the suction power and fine-tune how much water and scrub action your mop makes use of.
A mapping feature aids your robot navigate through rooms while an obstacle avoidance feature will stop it from hitting furniture, wires or stray pet toys. These are must-have features in my home, which is filled with toys that are scattered about.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the company's flagship vacuum and mop, is loaded with features. It can sweep and mop in one session and can raise its brushes and mop pads to prevent soft surfaces from getting too wet. It can also see and avoid obstacles, thanks to the ability to recognize pet toys plants, small objects.
The robot vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals which is more than any other robot vac we've tested to date. It also has PreciSense LiDAR Navigation, which tracks its location, preventing it becoming stuck on objects.
The mopping function is impressive and the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of 6 Newtons to the mop pad, resulting in an intense clean. It also has mop lifter technology that will lift the pad automatically as it changes between tile and laminate, hardwood and carpet or rugs, to avoid soaking soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing and self drying features. The pad can be rinsing and drying in the dock. The dust bin will automatically empty and return to the dock. You can set it 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 5,200mAh battery. I ran it on its normal mop and vac settings for approximately 160 minutes before the S8 Pro Ultra started to get power hungry 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 that I've tried.
It's a well-rounded, capable product. The only issue is that it's expensive. The number of features makes it a very attractive option for anyone looking to replace their old stick vacuums and mops. We would highly recommend this vacuum when you can justify its price.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop combo. The price is justified by the robust features, including a large vacuuming capability, as well as two mop heads that rotate. It comes with an app-enabled smart controller and an advanced obstacle-avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuums and mop combinations out there at a recommended retail price of 999 euros. In my tests, it performed well throughout the entire home. It was able to eliminate 98.4 percent of debris from all kinds of floors and managed to lift hair that was long without getting caught in. The mops were also excellent, achieving great cleaning results with less effort than most mid-range models, thanks to their rotational motion and an incredibly strong cleaning solution.
The docking station is the primary selling feature of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and sophisticated. The docking station empties the dustbin into a bag for dirt, then refills the water tank to mop and also dry your mop pads. It also comes with a real-time safety detection system and allows you to schedule regular cleaning sessions with its smart controls.
In contrast to the other hybrid vacuum mops I've tested, the L10S Ultra doesn't offer advanced debris removal on carpets. The mops on the L10S Ultra are not as effective at removing stubborn staining as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra's top-of-the-line features, it still requires regular maintenance. Its base station needs to be cleaned, and the water tank and dust bag should be cleaned, emptied and dried regularly to avoid unpleasant odors and mildew. It is also important to keep in mind that the mop pads which are purchased separately, are required to be replaced periodically too.
With the L10S Ultra's pricey pricing and its extensive features I would highly recommend it to anyone who has the money for it. If you're looking to save money I would suggest a less basic model that will allow you to save money and enjoy hands-free cleaning in 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 an option than a necessity.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop you need to clean up messes and remove dirt from your floors. This powerful mop and robot vacuum combo comes with a strong suction power of 8,000 Pa, an impressively large battery capacity to power both vacuuming and mowing and top-quality obstacle-avoiding. It has a roller-mop that is self-cleaning, making it stand out among other models that require you to return to the base station to wash off the mop pad.
The S1 Pro has a unique mopping system that is distinct from the spinning discs and microfibre pads that are found on other robots. The roller is almost entire width of the robot and is constantly filled with clean, ozonated water from its dock. The roller scrubs the floor while collecting dirt. Any dry debris is removed using the side brushes, or swept away into the front bumper. The S1 Pro is able to dump dirty mop water into its base station where it is sucked up by the tank's heater elements, and then it is emptied into a bigger storage container. The tank onboard holds a decent amount of water, and can handle a half dozen mopping sessions before running dry.
Like most robotic vacuums and mop combos, the S1 Pro is ready to take it out of the box. The S1 Pro needs to be filled with clean water. This can be done in the cleaning dock. If you want to use your own cleaner you can include a cleaning solution to the dock. If you choose this feature, however, you will need to buy the Eufy-branded cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands allowing you to use your choice of cleaning solutions.
The S1 Pro performed well in the navigation efficiency and coverage tests, as did the majority of robots. It was fast to map a room, and it was able to navigate around furniture. The only problem is that it got stuck a few times on carpets with longer piles and rugs during my testing, but this may be fixed as the software is updated. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that provides lots of features at a reasonable cost.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's basic mop and vacuum, and it has some outstanding features. The dock's multi-function function is emptying the robot's dirtbag, refilling its water tanks, as well as cleaning and sanitizing the mop pads is done by the dock. The mopping system is capable of cleaning up a significant portion of an area before it has to return to its dock and the vacuum's powerful suction does a nice job of removing debris and pet hair from carpets.
The application that runs the appliance is dense, and offers many options to customize the cleaning process. You can choose to manually start an entire map and clear everything that's been that the device maps, or you can select specific rooms, expandable zones, or even a routine you've crafted. There are helpful site of mopping options that include SmartPlan -- an algorithm that utilizes the sensors of the mops to find the most efficient method to clean your home as it maps the area.
Like all Roborock models we've tested like all the Roborock models we've tested, the Qrevo performs well in our tests. Its navigation system is reliable, mapping rooms quickly and cleaning them in a systematic manner. Its 'Normal' pathing setting is excellent at covering a room, with no major gaps or missing 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 identify dangers like thick carpets however it won't always recognize smaller things like 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 people who regularly vacuum before using their robot. Thankfully, there's an easy alternative: the app has an option to "clean up" at the end of every vacuuming session. This lets you use the mopping feature of the vacuum to get rid of the last traces of debris and dust that you've left behind from your vacuuming. It's a nice addition and helps the robot to clean up a little bit better than its cheaper rivals.
