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, set cleaning schedules and select mopping modes. You can also alter the suction power, and how much water your mop uses.
A mapping feature can help your robot navigate rooms and obstacles, while an obstacle avoidance function will stop it from hitting wires, furniture or other pet toys. These are must-have features in my home, which is filled with strewn-about toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the flagship mop and vacuum cleaner, so it's a natural choice to be with features. It's able to sweep and mop in one session and can lift its brushes and mop pads to prevent soft surfaces from becoming too damp. It also can detect and avoid obstacles, with 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. It is also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR Navigation that tracks its location, preventing it getting stuck on a surface.
The mopping capabilities of the S8 Pro Ultra are also impressive. It can continuously apply pressure to the pad at more than 6 Newtons for a thorough clean. It also comes with an automatic mop lifting system that will raise the pad when it transitions from laminate to tile hardwood, carpet and rugs to avoid soaking these types of soft surfaces.
In addition to this in addition, the S8 Pro Ultra has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. The pad can be rinsed and then dried with the dock and the dust container is automatically emptied and returned to it. This means that you can put it away and forget about it, and only need to clean the dust bag and refill the water tank occasionally.
All of this is powered by a lithium-ion battery of 5,200mAh. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its normal mop- and vac-settings for approximately 160 minutes before beginning to lose power and returned to its base to recharge. This isn't that far from the 180-minute time that Roborock claims and is at par other hybrids I've tested.
It's a comprehensive, reliable product. The only drawback is that it's pricey. But its abundance of features makes it a very tempting option for anyone who wants to go away from their old stick vacuums and mop. We would highly recommend this vacuum if you can justify its cost.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a premium combination. The price is justified by its robust features, which include a massive vacuuming capability and two mop heads that rotate. It also comes with an app-enabled smart control system and powerful obstacle-avoidance technology.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop sets available, at a recommended retail price of 999 euros. In my tests, it did well in all areas of the house, removing 98.4 percent of debris from all floor types and managing to lift hair that is long without getting caught in. The mops also performed well, achieving excellent cleaning results with less effort than many mid-range models. This was thanks to their rotational motion and a strong dose cleaning solution.
The docking station is the real selling aspect of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and sophisticated. The docking station empties the trash bin into a bag to collect dirt, then refills the water tank for mopping and even dries your mop pads. It features a real-time risk detection system, and its sophisticated controls allow you to schedule periodic cleaning sessions.
The L10S Ultra does not offer the best performance in removing carpet debris when compared to the other hybrid vacuum mops I tested. Additionally it's not as efficient in removing stubborn stains as those found in the premium 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 unpleasant odors and mildew. The mop pads sold separately will require changing regularly.
I would recommend the L10S Ultra to anyone with the budget. If you're on a budget I suggest a more basic model that lets you to save money while still being able to enjoy hands-free cleaning at your home. It's important to note that even it's true that the L10S Ultra is the best mop and robotic vacuum you can buy, its high purchase price and ongoing maintenance will ultimately make it more of a desire rather than a requirement.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
Eufy S1 Pro is the robot vacuum and mop that you require to get rid of messes and get rid of dirt from your hard floors. This powerful robovac/mop combo comes with a powerful 8,000 Pa suction power. It also has a huge battery capacity that can be used for vacuuming as well as mowing. It is also equipped with a top-notch obstacle-avoidance system. It comes with a roller-mop that cleans itself, making it stand out from models which require you to return to the base station to wash the mop pad.
The S1 Pro has a unique mopping mechanism that is different from the spinning discs and microfibre pads of other robots. The roller is almost the entire width of the robot, and it receives a constant supply of clean water that is filtered and ozonated from the dock. While it spins the roller scrubs your floors while soaking up dirt and any dry debris is removed by the side brushes or swept into the front colision bumper. The S1 Pro removes the dirty mop water in its base station where it is sucked up by the tank's heater elements, and then emptied into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard is able to hold a large amount of water and handle up to half a dozen mopping sessions before being emptied out.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use out of the package as do most robotic vacuums/mops. It does need to be filled with clean water, but this is a simple task in the cleaning dock. You can also add cleaning solution to the dock should you prefer the option of using your own cleaner. If you do choose to use this feature, you'll need to purchase the brand-name cleaning solution from Eufy which is more expensive than other robot brands that allow you to use your own cleaning products.
The S1 Pro performed well in the coverage and efficiency of navigation tests, as did most robots. It was fast to map a room, and it was able to navigate through furniture. The only problem is that it got stuck a few times on larger pile carpets and rugs during my testing, but this may be rectified as the software is updated. The S1 Pro is a very capable all-in-one robot for an affordable price.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's entry level mop and vacuum however it has some outstanding features. The dock's multi-function function is emptying the robot's dirtbag, refilling its water tanks, as well as washing and sanitizing mop pads is handled by the dock. The mopping system is able to sweep a large area before returning to its dock. The vacuum's powerful suction is ideal for removing pet hair and debris on carpets.
The app that runs this appliance is dense, with a wide choice of options for customizing the cleaning process. You can set it up manually to start an entire map and clean of everything that the device maps, or you can pick individual rooms, expandable zones, or even a routine you've set up. SmartPlan is one of the mopping options. Robot Vacuum Mops makes use of the sensors on the mops to map the space and determine the most efficient way to clean it.
Like all the Roborock models we've evaluated, the Qrevo is a great performer in our tests. Its navigation system is solid that can quickly map rooms and cleaning them in a systematic manner. Its 'Normal' pathing setting does a great job of covering a room, with no major gaps or missed areas. Reactive Tech's hazard-avoidance feature works well too, but it's not as sophisticated as the color camera systems found on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It can detect hazards like thick carpets but may not be able detect smaller objects such as rug tassels and electrical wires.
One of the biggest flaws of this device is the absence of a mop after vacuum option, which could be an issue for those who are frequently vacuuming prior to cleaning with their robot. There's a simple solution: The app offers an option that allows you to "clean up" at the conclusion of every vacuuming session. You can use the mopping features of the vacuum to get rid of the dust and traces that are left behind after vacuuming. This is a nice feature that can help this robot to clean up a bit better than its less expensive competitors.
