Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
Most robot vacuum-mop combos can be customized using an application that allows you to save maps of your home setting cleaning schedules, and select mopping modes. You can also alter the suction power and the amount of water your mop consumes.
A mapping function will help your robot navigate around 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 scattered around.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the company's flagship vacuum and mop, comes packed with features. It's able to both sweep and mop in one session and can raise its brushes and mop pads to stop soft surfaces from becoming too damp. It also has the ability to see and avoid obstacles, with the ability to spot pets plants, a variety of small objects.
The robotic vacuum's maximum suction power is 6,000 pascals. This is more than any robot vacuum we have tested to date. It's also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR navigation, which tracks its position, which helps prevent it from getting stuck on objects.
Mopping capabilities are also impressive and features the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of 6 Newtons to the mop pad for an intense clean. It also comes with mop lifter that will lift the pad automatically as it transitions between tile and laminate hardwood, carpet or rugs, to avoid soaking soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. The pad can be used for rinsing and heat-drying within the dock. The dust bin will automatically empty and return to the dock. This means that you can put it away and forget about it, and only need to change the dust bag or refill the water tank every now and then.
All of this is powered by a 5,200mAh lithium-ion battery. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its normal mop and vac-settings for around 160 minutes before beginning to lose power, and then returned to its base to recharge. This isn't too far from the 180 minutes Roborock claims, and is on par other hybrids I've tested.
It's a robust, well-rounded product. The only issue is that it's pricey. But its abundance of features makes it a very tempting choice for anyone looking to go away from their old stick vacuums and mop. We highly recommend this model when you can justify the cost.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a top-of-the-line mop and robot vacuum. The high price is justified by the robust features, including a large vacuuming capacity and two mop heads that rotate. It comes with an app-enabled smart control system 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 combos on the market. In my tests, it was able to perform very well in all areas of the home, removing 98.4 percent of the debris on all floor types and managing to lift hair that is long without knots. The mops were also great in delivering outstanding cleaning results with less effort than mid-range models, due to their rotational motion as well as an incredibly strong cleaning solution.
However, the L10S Ultra's main selling point is its advanced docking station that is multi-functional. The docking station emptys the trash bin into a bag that can be used for dirt, then refills the water tank to use for mopping, and even dry your mop pads. It also comes with a real-time safety detection system and allows you to schedule regular cleaning sessions using its intelligent controls.
The L10S Ultra does not offer better performance for removing carpet debris in comparison to the other hybrid vacuum mop I tested. In addition the mops aren't efficient in removing tough stains like those in the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, which is the most expensive model. Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra’s high-end features, it still requires regular maintenance. To avoid mildew and unpleasant odors, the base station dustbag, water and tanks must be cleaned and emptied regularly. They also need to be dried. It is also important to note that the mop pads, which are purchased separately, will need to be replaced regularly too.
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 tighter budget, I suggest considering an easier model that will allow you to save money while still enjoying clean hands at home. It's important to remember that even the L10S Ultra is the best robot vacuum and mop you can buy, its high purchase cost and constant maintenance will ultimately make it more of a wish than a necessity.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop that you need to clean up messes and remove dirt from your hard floors. This high-powered robovac and mop combo packs an impressive suction force of 8,000 Pa, an impressively large battery capacity to power mopping and vacuuming and top-quality obstacle avoidance. It also comes with mop rollers that clean itself as it goes and makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that require users to return to their base station mid-cleaning to wash off the mop's pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a major difference from the microfibre pads and spinning discs of other robots. The roller is almost entire width of the robot and is continuously filled 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 away into the front bumper. The S1 Pro then dumps the dirty mop water into its base station, where it is sucked up by the tank's heating elements before being is poured into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard holds a decent amount of water, and can manage about a dozen mopping sessions before running dry.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use straight out of the box as do other robotic vacuums and mops. It must be filled with clean water, but this is easy to do in the cleaning dock. You can also add a cleaning solution to the dock in case you want to have the option of using your own brand of cleaner. If you decide to select this option you'll need to purchase the brand-name cleaning solution from Eufy which is more expensive than other robot brands that permit you to use your own cleaner of choice.
As with most robots, the S1 Pro did well in accuracy in navigation and coverage tests. It was quick to map out a area and was able to navigate around furniture. The only problem is that it got stuck a couple times on longer pile carpets and rugs in my tests, but this may be improved as the software is updated. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that offers a lot of functionality at an affordable price.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's basic mop and vacuum. However, it still offers some impressive features. The dock's multi-function function is emptying the robot's dirtbag, filling its water tanks, as well as cleaning and sanitizing the mop pads is performed by the dock. The mopping system can clean a large area before returning to its dock. The vacuum's suction power is great for picking up pet hair and other debris from carpets.
The software that runs the appliance is quite complex, and offers a variety of options for customizing the cleaning process. You can clean manually all areas that this device maps or select specific rooms, zones that can be expanded, or a custom routine you've designed. SmartPlan is one of the mopping options. It utilizes the sensors on the mop to map the area and determine the most efficient method to clean it.
The Qrevo was a great performer in our tests, just like the other Roborock models we've test. Its navigation system is efficient by quickly mapping rooms and cleaning in a neat manner. Its 'Normal" pathing setting covers a room well, without any major gaps or missed areas. Reactive Tech's hazard avoidance works well, but it is not as advanced as the color camera systems found on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It can identify the dangers of carpets that are thick however it won't always be able to detect smaller items such as rug tassels or electrical wires.
The machine has a major issue: it doesn't offer a mop after vacuuming. This could be a problem for those who vacuum a lot before using their robot. There's an easy solution: The app offers an option that allows you to "clean up", at the end of each session. This lets you utilize the mopping feature of the vacuum to eliminate the last remnants of dust and debris that you've left behind from your vacuuming. It's a nice touch, and it helps the robot to make its clean better than its less expensive competitors.
