Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
Most robot vacuum-mop combos can be customized using an app that can save the maps of your home, 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 while an obstacle avoidance feature prevents it from running into furniture, wires or stray pet toys. These features are essential for my home that is filled with toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the flagship vacuum of the company and mop, comes packed with features. It can mop and sweep in a single session and can raise its mop pads and brushes to stop soft surfaces from getting too damp. It can also see and avoid obstacles, thanks to the ability to spot pet toys, plants and other small objects.
The robotic vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals, which is more than any other robot vacuum we've tested to date. It also has PreciSense LiDAR Navigation to track its location, preventing it from getting stuck on a surface.
The mopping function is impressive, with the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of 6 Newtons to the mop pad, resulting in deep cleaning. It also features an automatic mop lifting system that will raise the pad when it transitions from tile to laminate hardwood, carpet and rugs to avoid getting soaked by these soft surfaces.
Additionally in addition, the S8 Pro Ultra has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. 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 set it and forget it, only needing to replace the dust bag or refill the water tank every now and then.
All this is powered by a lithium-ion battery of 5,200mAh. I ran it on its normal vac and mop settings for about 160 minutes before the S8 Pro Ultra started to be power-deficient and return to its base to recharge. This isn't too far off of the 180-minute time that Roborock claims, and is on par with other hybrids that I've test.
It's a well-rounded, capable product. The only issue is that it's costly. But its abundance of features makes it a very appealing alternative for anyone who wishes to get rid of their old stick vacuum and mops. We highly recommend this vacuum for those who can afford its price.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a top-of-the-line mop and robot vacuum. The price is justified by the powerful features, which include a massive vacuuming capability, as well as two mop heads that rotate. It also 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 expensive robotic vacuum and mop combos available. In my testing it performed well across all areas of the home, removing 98.4% of debris on all floors and managing to lift long hair without getting caught in. The mops also performed well and produced excellent results for cleaning with less effort than mid-range models. This was thanks to their rotational motion and a strong dose cleaning solution.
The docking station is the primary selling aspect of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and advanced. The dock emptys its dustbin into a dirt bag, refills its water tank to enable mopping and dries its mop pads for you. It also features a real-time safety detection system and lets you schedule regular cleaning sessions using its intelligent controls.
Contrary to the other hybrid mops I test, the L10S Ultra doesn't offer advanced debris pickup performance on carpets. The mops on the L10S Ultra aren't as effective in removing tough stains as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra’s high-end features, it still requires regular maintenance. Its base station needs to be cleaned, and the water tank and dust bag should be cleaned, empty and dried regularly to avoid mildew and unpleasant odors. It is also important to remember that the mop pads which are bought separately will need to be replaced regularly too.
I would recommend the L10S Ultra to anyone with the funds. For those who are on a smaller budget, I suggest a less basic model that allows you to save money while still enjoying clean hands at home. Even it were the case that the L10S Ultra was the best robotic mop and vacuum combination you could purchase however, its price and ongoing maintenance will make it seem more a want than need.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop that you need to clean up messes and clean dirt off your hard floors. This powerful robovac/mop set-up has a powerful suction capacity of 8,000 Pa. It also has a large battery capacity that can be used for mopping and vacuuming. And it is equipped with a top-notch obstacle-avoidance system. It even has mop rollers that clean itself as it moves and makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that have to return to their base station mid-cleaning to wash off the mop's pad.
The S1 Pro has a unique mopping mechanism that is a departure from the spinning discs and microfibre pads that are found on other robots. The roller is almost the entire width of the robot, and it receives a constant supply of fresh water that is filtered and ozonated from the 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 dumps mop water that is dirty into its base station, where it is sucked in by the tank's heater elements, and then it is emptied into a bigger storage container. The tank onboard can hold a good amount of water, and can handle up to a half dozen mopping sessions before being emptied out.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use out of the package as do most robotic vacuums/mops. The S1 Pro will need to be refilled with clean water. This can be done using the cleaning dock. You can also add cleaning solution to the dock should you prefer the option of using your own brand of cleaner. If you choose this feature however, you'll be required to purchase the Eufy brand cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands, allowing users to select their own choice of cleaning solutions.
The S1 Pro performed well in the navigation efficiency and coverage tests, as did most robots. It was quick to map a space and moved around furniture. The only problem is that it got stuck a couple of times on longer pile carpets and rugs during my tests however this can be fixed when the software is updated. robot vacuum cleaners is a very robust robot that is available at affordable prices.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's cheapest mop and vacuum, but it still offers some impressive features. The dock's multifunction allows emptying the robot's dirtbag, filling its water tanks and cleaning and sanitizing the mop pads is handled by the dock. 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 is capable of removing dirt and pet hair that accumulates on carpets.
The software that runs this appliance is fairly dense, with a wide range of options to customize the cleaning process. You can manually initiate the full map and then clear everything that's been that is mapped by the device or you can pick individual rooms, expandable zones, or even a routine you've set up. There are several mopping options which include SmartPlan -- an algorithm that utilizes the sensors on the mops to determine the most efficient way to clean your home as it maps the area.
Like all Roborock models we've tested The Qrevo does well in our tests. Its navigation system is reliable it can map rooms quickly and cleaning them in a systematic way. The 'Normal" pathing setting covers a room well, without any major gaps or missing areas. The Reactive Tech hazard avoidance system is also quite effective however it's not as sophisticated as the color camera system on the Qrevo Master or the S8 Pro Ultra. It is able to detect dangers like carpets with thick padding, but may not be able to detect smaller objects such as electrical wires or rug tassels.
One of the biggest flaws of this machine is the lack of a mop after vacuum option that could be a problem for those who do a lot of vacuuming before cleaning their robot. There's a simple solution: the app offers a feature that allows you to "clean up" at the conclusion of each session. You can make use of the vacuum's mopping functions to remove the last traces and dust that were left behind after vacuuming. This is a nice feature that can help this robot clean a little better than its cheaper competitors.
