Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems

This robot automatic vacuum and mop robot-mop makes an excellent choice for apartment dwellers as it uses an economized docking system and has its own garbage bin. The app lets you select different modes and monitor cleaning as well as the mopping function is impressive.

Its mapping, obstacle avoidance, and mopping capabilities are impressive. It is able to pick up pet hair, spills, and dirt. It also self-empties and cleans and replenishes its water tank.

Roomba iRobot Combination

The iRobot Combo includes mopping in addition to the already impressive vacuuming capabilities of the robot. The iRobot Combo doesn't quite replace our Editors' Choice winner, the Deebot X1 Omni. It is more efficient and comes with an app for mobile devices that is easier to use, but it's a good alternative. It was able to consistently remove dirt from carpets and hard floors. Its obstacle avoidance isn't as advanced as other systems like LiDAR and structured light, but it still is able to avoid most collisions.

The Combo features most of the same functions as the j7 Plus and comes with new acoustic sensors onboard to determine the floor's type and AI-powered navigation, however it does not have the ability to adjust suction power manually. It's also smaller than the vac-only version and doesn't have a an auto-emptying dock.

In my experience I have found that the Combo is a great choice for homes with a lot of space, and its sleek design is easily one of the most attractive in the industry. The sleek matte black plastic appears better than the majority of competitors' glossy or metallic finishes, and iRobot's tiny touches--like a leather tab to open the onboard bin and a shelf inside the dock to hold extra bags--are more elegant than many of its rivals'. The iRobot Combo also allows you to easily create maps of your home, as well as to create Keep-Out Zones and No-Mop Zones, and Clean Zones.

Roborock

While Roborock is relatively new to the robot vacuum and mop market however, it has already established a name for itself because of its innovative cleaning techniques. The brand's vacuums have industry-leading suction, and its mopping systems utilize vibrating mops to keep floors of dust. You can also modify the bot's cleaning routine by making use of a variety of scheduling and mapping options.

Roborock's obstacle avoidance feature allows the robot to detect objects that are lower than its own height. This is particularly useful for Roborock's most well-known models, such as the Qrevo Master. It is the best of its kind when it comes to navigation, thanks to vSLAM, and LiDAR. Other robovacs have been known to slam into pet waste and slam furniture, without even noticing. The Qrevo Master however, addresses this problem by using a Reactive Artificial Intelligence system which makes use of dual cameras to perceive objects within the room.

Roborock robots also come with a number of convenience features that help reduce day-to-day maintenance, including auto-empty docks, as well as multi-functional mop washing stations. They can make it easier to manually empty bins and wash mops, making for a truly hands-off ownership experience. In addition, the app's simple design and lag-free connection to the robot makes it simple to use.

Hobot Legee D8

With a variety of cleaning options and advanced mopping features, the Hobot Legee is among the best robot hoover vacuums/mops for both wet and dry floors. Its advanced navigation system blends five technologies to plan and execute a route that is the most efficient. It also detects various flooring materials and obstacles with pinpoint accuracy. It can even lift itself 7mm to glide across carpets. Smart spray system uses just the right amount of water to aid in stain removal, without leaving water marks.

The Legee, an Gen 4 Robot, competes directly against the Eufy Robovac X9 or Ecovacs Deebot T20. Both models cost more. It comes with more features than either with a more flexible D-shaped body that can clean the corners and under cabinets better than a round-shaped robot. Its sensors include 360deg (3D) (Lidar Encoder Gyro and E-compass) 4 forward-facing sensors and one right-side-facing (IR ToF distance sensors) and 2 pairs of cliff detectors front and rear (most robots only have one pair). Additionally, it has Legee SLAM, which helps to reduce the bump-and-grind issues that cause problems for Gen 4 Robots.

The Legee is distinct from other robots because it has a trash compactor built-in and operates on the quieter 5 GHz band of Wi-Fi. The LuLu mop washing station is included and is able to wash, refill and dries your mop's 'cloth. This means that you can use it up to six times longer than with other mop cloths. It also cuts down on waste and frequency of bin emptying.

Karcher RCV 5

Known for its pressure washers and garden tools, Karcher has been dabbling in robot vacuums for quite a while, and it's the most tech-savvy model. It can create maps of your home using LiDAR and can be programmed to mop or vacuum. It can also distinguish between carpets and hard floors and prevent the dreaded puddles on your carpet.

Its navigation is excellent, avoiding furniture or rugs easily. It can also lift itself over steps. The robot can be customized by adjusting a range of settings including cleaning schedules and the rooms it is required to be cleaning. It has an emergency button' that causes the robot to return home in the event that its power is cut off. It can be set to shut off automatically when a storm approaches.

The RCV 5 is easy to use and, despite being heavy at almost 4kg, it's not too difficult to maneuver around furniture. Parents of small children will appreciate the safety features like a sensor that warns it to stay clear of the stairs. Once charged it will take just a few hours to recharge and the two buttons on top will flash green to let you know that it is ready to go.

Mova E30 Ultra

The Mova E30 Ultra is a robot vacuum cleaner that combines modern cleaning technology with affordability. It's a direct competitor to models such as the Dreame L10 Ultra and Roborock's Q Revo. The Mova E30 Ultra is a less expensive model, but it comes with features that are not found in other models. It makes use of sensors to adjust the settings for different floors and surfaces as well as identify areas that are more prone to dirt. It also moves at a an accelerated pace to avoid the destruction of furniture and walls.

The device can help you map your home's interior that you can view within the app. You can also mark certain rooms and objects you want the automatic vacuum cleaner and mop to avoid. The vacuum will slow down if it spots an obstruction and avoid hitting it. The device is also equipped with an intelligent dust bin, which alerts you to its fullness so you can empty the bin at the right time.

The Mova E30 Ultra offers a cost-effective option for those looking to delegate their cleaning chores. It doubles as a robot vacuum and mop that lets you keep your floors clean without lifting a finger. It also features a clever design that improves the efficiency of cleaning corners by as much as 60%. It comes with a suction capacity of up to 7,000 Pa and RoboSwing arm, and can be controlled by the app or voice assistants like Alexa or Siri.

Beko RCV3

The Beko RCV3 is a sleek and well-equipped hybrid robot vacuum/mop that does an excellent job of keeping floors clean and span. It isn't able to lift its mops to clean carpets and rugs as well as the Roborock S8 MaxV ultra, but it's very effective in cleaning hard floors. It comes with a self-emptying bin, a high degree of suction, an array of mopping options, and a top-quality app that works both on iOS and Android.

It's a bit smaller than its competitors and its main brush is a bit shorter but it still managed to do a good job in our test room. The brush that rotates on the side that is used for edges is a nice addition and, despite the fact that it didn't lift dirt off our carpets and was not as effective as some of the competitors, it did a very good job overall.

Cleaning parameters can be pre-set for each room, and the device will create detailed maps of the rooms using built-in LiDAR navigation. It's simple to control through the app, and a range of voice output options will keep you informed about the state of your home robot. Regular updates to the software improve and extend its performance. The app can be used to remotely manage the RCV3 even when you are not at home.
