Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum-mop combinations can be customised using an application that is specifically designed for. You can save maps of your house and set up cleaning schedules and select the mopping mode you prefer. You can also alter the suction power and fine-tune how much water and scrub action your mop makes use of.
A mapping function can help your robot navigate around rooms. A feature to avoid obstacles will stop it from running into furniture, wires, or stray toys. These features are essential in my house that is filled with toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the company's flagship vacuum and mop, comes packed with features. It can sweep and mop simultaneously, and can even raise its mop pads or brushes so that soft surfaces don't get too wet. It also has the ability to see and avoid obstacles, with the ability to spot pets, plants and other small objects.
The robot vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals which is higher than any other robot vac we've tested to date. It is also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR Navigation to track its location, preventing it from becoming stuck on objects.
The mopping capabilities of the S8 Pro Ultra are also impressive. It can apply constant pressure to the pad that is over 6 Newtons for a thorough clean. It also has a mop lifter system that will lift the pad automatically as it is able to switch between tile, laminate, hardwood and carpet or rugs, to avoid soaking the soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing and self drying features. The pad is capable of rinsing and heat-drying within the dock. The dust bin will automatically empty before returning to the dock. This means that you can set it and forget it, only having to replace the dust bag or refill the water tank occasionally.
All of this is powered by a lithium-ion 5,200mAh battery. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its usual vac- and mop-settings for around 160 minutes before it began to lose power, and then returned to its base to recharge. This isn't too far off of the 180 minutes Roborock claims and is comparable with other hybrids I've test.
It's a well-rounded and capable product, with its only downsides being the fact that it's expensive. The sheer amount of features makes it a great choice for anyone who is looking to replace their old mops and stick vacuums. We would highly recommend this vacuum for those who can afford the cost.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop combo. The premium price is justified by the robust features, including a large vacuuming capacity and two mop heads that gyrate. It comes with an app-enabled smart controller as well as powerful obstacle-avoidance technology.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop combos available at a recommended retail price of 999 euros. In my testing it did well across all areas of the home, taking out 98.4 percent of the debris on all floor types and managing to lift long hair without knots. The mops also performed well, achieving great cleaning results with less effort than mid-range models, due to their rotational motion and a strong dose of cleaning solution.
However, the L10S Ultra's main highlight is its multi-functional docking station. The dock emptys its dustbin into dirt bag, fills its water tank for mopping and dry the mop pads for you. It has a real-time hazards detection system, and its sophisticated controls let you schedule periodic cleaning sessions.
The L10S Ultra does not offer superior carpet debris removal performance compared to the other hybrid mop I tried. The mops on the L10S Ultra are not as effective at removing stubborn staining as the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
In spite of the L10S Ultra's numerous top-of-the-line features, it requires regular maintenance and care. 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, are required to be replaced regularly too.
I would recommend the L10S Ultra to anyone with the budget. For those who are on a smaller budget, I suggest considering a less basic model that will allow you to save money while still enjoying hands-free cleaning at home. It's worth noting that even if the L10S Ultra is the best robotic vacuum and mop combination you can find but its high cost and constant maintenance will ultimately make it more of a want than a need.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robot mop and vacuum that will pick up dirt and dust on your hard floors, while taking care of wet mess then look no further than the Eufy S1 Pro. This powerful robovac/mop combination comes with a powerful suction power of 8,000 Pa. It also boasts an enormous battery capacity that can be used for mopping and vacuuming. It's also fitted with a top-quality obstacle-avoidance technology. It even comes with a roller mop that cleans itself as it goes and makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that have to return to their base station mid-clean to rinse off the mop's pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a big difference from the microfibre pads and spinning discs used in other robots. The roller is almost the entire length of the robot and it is supplied with a continuous supply of clean, ozonated filtered water 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 away into the front colision bumper. The S1 Pro is able to dump dirty mop water in its base station where it is sucked by the heater elements of the tank and emptied into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard holds plenty of water, and can manage about a dozen mopping sessions before going dry.
The S1 Pro comes ready to use right out of the box, just like most other robotic vacuums and mops. It does need to be filled with clean water, however this is easy to do by cleaning the dock. If you'd like to use your own cleaner you can add a cleaning solution to dock. If you decide to use this feature however, you'll have to purchase the Eufy-branded cleaning solution that is more expensive than other robot brands that allow you to choose your preferred brand of cleaners.
Like budget robot vacuum that are available, the S1 Pro did well in navigation efficiency and coverage evaluations. It was quick to map a room, and it was able to navigate through furniture. It got stuck on carpets with longer piles a few times during my tests. However it could be improved by re-updating the software. The S1 Pro is a very capable all-in-one robot for affordable prices.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's entry-level mop and vacuum, but it has some outstanding 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 is capable of cleaning a large portion of a space before it has to return to its dock and the vacuum's high suction does a nice job of removing debris and pet hair that accumulates on carpets.
The application that runs the appliance is quite complex, and offers various options to customize the cleaning process. You can manually initiate a full map and clean of everything mapped by the device, or you can pick specific rooms, expandable zones, or even a schedule you've crafted. SmartPlan is one of the mopping options. It uses the sensors on the mops to map the area and determine the most efficient way to clean it.
The Qrevo performed well in our tests, just as all Roborock models we've tested. Its navigation system is efficient by quickly mapping rooms and cleaning them in a well-organized manner. The default pathing setting does a great job of covering a space, with no gaps or missing areas. Reactive Tech's hazard avoidance function works well too, but it is not as advanced as the color camera systems on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It can detect dangers such as thick carpets but might not be able to recognize smaller items such as rug tassels and electrical wires.
This machine has one major issue: it doesn't have a mop option after vacuuming. This could be a problem for people who regularly vacuum before using their robot. There's an easy solution: the app has an option that allows you to "clean up" at the end of each vacuuming session. The vacuum's mopping functions to remove the dust and traces that remained after vacuuming. This is a nice feature that lets this vacuum to clean up a bit better than its cheaper competitors.
