Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
Most robot vacuum-mop combos can be customized with an app that can save the maps of your home, set cleaning schedules and choose mopping modes. You can also alter the suction power and fine tune the amount of water and scrub action your mop makes use of.
A mapping feature helps your robot navigate rooms, while an obstacle avoidance function prevents it from running into furniture, wires or stray pet toys. These are must-have features in my home, which is filled with strewn-about toys.
- Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the top-of-the-line vacuum and mop, is packed with features. It's able to mop and sweep in a single session, and it can even lift its mop pads and brushes to stop soft surfaces from becoming damp. It can also see and avoid obstacles, with the ability to identify pets plants, a variety of small objects.
The robotic vacuum's maximum suction power is 6,000 pascals. This is higher than any robot vacuum we have examined so far. It's also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR navigation to track its position, which helps prevent it from getting stuck on objects.
Its mopping functionality is also impressive and the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply constant pressure of over 6 Newtons to the mop pad, resulting in an intense clean. It also comes with an automatic mop lifting mechanism, that will raise the pad when it transitions from tile to laminate hardwood, carpets and rugs to prevent the possibility of soaking these soft surfaces.
Additionally it is also the S8 Pro Ultra has self-washing and self-drying functions. The pad can be rinsing and then drying within the dock. The dust bin will automatically empty and return to the dock. This means you can just set it and forget it, and only need to replace 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 usual mop and vac-settings for approximately 160 minutes before it started to lose power, and then returned to its base to recharge. This is not far off of the 180-minute time that Roborock claims and is comparable with other hybrids that I've test.
It's a robust, well-rounded product. The only drawback is that it's pricey. Its sheer number of features makes it a great choice for anyone looking to replace their old mops and stick vacuums. If you can afford the price we recommend you check this one out.
- Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a high-end robot vacuum and mop combination. The premium price is justified by the powerful features, such as a huge vacuuming capability, as well as two mop heads that rotate. It has an app-enabled smart controller and an advanced obstacle-avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra has a retail price of 999 Euros which is among the highest robotic vacuum and mop combos available. In my tests, it performed admirably throughout the house. It removed 98.4% debris on all kinds of floors and managed to lift hair that was long without getting caught up in. The mops also performed admirably and produced excellent results for cleaning with less effort than mid-range models. This was due to their rotational movement and an effective dose of cleaning solution.
The L10S Ultra's real selling point is its advanced multi-functional docking station. The dock empties its dustbin into a dirt bag, refills its water tank to enable mopping and dry its mop pads for you. It features a real-time risk detection system, and its intelligent controls let you schedule periodic cleaning sessions.
Unlike the other hybrid vacuum mops that I tried, the L10S Ultra doesn't offer advanced dirt pickup on carpets. The mops of the L10S Ultra are not as effective in removing stubborn staining as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
In spite of the L10S Ultra's top-of-the-line features, it requires regular maintenance and care. Its base station has to be emptied as well as the water tank and dust bag must be emptied, cleaned and dried regularly to prevent unpleasant odors and mildew. It is also important to remember that the mop pads that are bought separately, are required to be replaced regularly too.
With the L10S Ultra's pricey price tag and extensive functionality, I would recommend it to anyone who has the budget for it. For those who are on a budget, I would suggest a more rudimentary model that will allow you to save money while enjoying the convenience of hands-free cleaning at home. Even it were the case that the L10S Ultra was the best robotic mop and vacuum combination you could find, its high cost and constant maintenance will make it seem more an item to have than one that you actually need.
- Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop that you require to tidy up mess and clean dirt off your hard floors. This powerful robovac/mop set-up comes with a powerful suction power of 8,000 Pa. It also has a huge battery capacity that can be used for vacuuming as well as mowing. And it is equipped with a top-notch obstacle-avoidance system. It also comes with an automatic mop that cleans itself as it moves this makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that have to return to their base station mid-cleaning to clean the mop pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a big contrast to the microfiber pads and spinning discs used in other robots. The roller covers the entire length of the bot, and it is constantly supplied with ozonated, clean water from its dock. The roller scrubs the floor while soaking up dirt. Any dry debris is swept away with the side brushes, or swept 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, and is poured into a larger storage bin. The onboard tank holds a good amount of water and can handle about half a dozen mopping sessions before going dry.
As with most robot vacuums and mop combinations like the S1 Pro is ready to take it out from the box. The S1 Pro does need to be refilled with clean water. This is easily done using the cleaning dock. If you'd like to use your own cleaner you can include a cleaning solution to dock. However, if you do choose to use this feature you'll have to purchase the cleaning solution from Eufy, which is more expensive than other robot brands that allow you to use your personal cleaner of choice.
As with most robots, the S1 Pro did well in the area of coverage and navigation efficiency. It was quick to map a room, and it was able to navigate through furniture. The only issue is that it got stuck a couple of times on longer pile carpets and rugs during my testing however this could be rectified when the software is updated. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that offers lots of features at an affordable price.
- Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's cheapest mop and vacuum, but it still offers some impressive features. The multi-function dock emptys the robot's dirtbag and refills its water tanks, while washing and sanitizing the mop pads as it goes. The mopping system itself is capable of cleaning a good bit of an area before returning to its dock and the vacuum's high suction is capable of removing dirt and pet hair from carpets.
The app that runs the appliance is quite extensive, and provides various options to customize the cleaning process. You can clean manually every area that is that this device maps or choose individual rooms, an expandable zone or a routine you've created. There are several mopping options that include SmartPlan -an algorithm that makes use of the mops' sensors to find the most efficient method to clean your home while it maps the area.
The Qrevo did well in our tests, like the other Roborock models we've evaluated. Its navigation system is robust, mapping rooms quickly and cleaning them in a neat fashion. The 'Normal' setting for pathing does an excellent job of covering a room, leaving no major gaps or missing areas. The Reactive Tech hazard avoidance system is also quite effective, though it's not as sophisticated as the color camera system of the Qrevo Master or the S8 Pro Ultra. It can identify dangers like thick carpets however it won't always recognize smaller things such as rug tassels or electrical wires.
One of the biggest flaws of this machine is the lack of a mop-after-vacuum option that could be an issue for those who do a lot of vacuuming before cleaning their robot. Thankfully, there's an easy solution: the app offers the option to "clean up" at the end of each vacuuming session. You can make use of the mopping features of the vacuum to get rid of the dust and traces that were left behind after vacuuming. It's a nice touch and helps the robot to clean up a little bit better than its cheaper rivals.
