Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems

This robot vacuum mop is a great alternative for those who live in flats, since it is able to carry the garbage away in its own bin, and also uses the docking station that is smaller. Its app allows you to select different modes and monitor cleaning as well as the mopping feature impresses.

Its mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance are impressive, while it mops very well, picking up pet hair, spillages and dirt. It also self-empties and cleans and refills its tank.

iRobot Roomba Combo

The iRobot Combo adds mopping to the already impressive vacuuming capabilities of the robot. It's not quite able to compete with our current Editors' Choice, the Deebot X1 Omni, which scrubs more and has an app that is easier to use on mobile devices but it does make an excellent choice. In our tests, it consistently picked up dirt of different sizes and types from hard floors and carpets. Its obstacle avoidance may not be as advanced as other systems, like LiDAR or structured light, but it is able to avoid most collisions.

The Combo has many of the same features that the j7 Plus does, including the onboard acoustic sensor for determining the type of floor and AI-powered Navigation, however it's not able to set suction power manually. It's also smaller than its vac-only counterpart, and it doesn't have self-empty docks.

Based on my experience, the Combo is a fantastic choice for most homes and its sleek design is easily one of the best in the industry. The sleek, matte black plastic looks better than most competitors' glossy or metallic finishes, and iRobot's small touches--like a leather tab to open the onboard bin and a shelf within the dock to hold extra bags--are more elegant than a lot of its rivals'. The iRobot Combo also allows you to easily create maps of your home, and to create Keep-Out Zones as well as No-Mop Zones and Clean Zones.

Roborock

Roborock, a relatively new player in the robot vacuum and mop industry has already established itself with a suite innovative cleaning technologies. The brand's vacuums have industry-leading suction, and its mopping systems use vibrating mops to scrub floors clean. Plus, a wide range of mapping and scheduling options lets you adjust the cleaning schedule of the bot to your home's specific needs.

Another outstanding Roborock feature is obstacle avoidance which allows the robot to detect objects that are that are lower than its height. This is particularly useful for the most well-known Roborock models, such as the Qrevo Master, which is top of the line in terms of navigation, because of vSLAM and LiDAR. Other robovacs are known to run over pet waste and slam furniture without noticing. The Qrevo Master however, addresses this issue with the Reactive Artificial Intelligence system which makes use of dual cameras to detect the objects within a room.

Roborock robots are equipped with a variety of features that make it easier to manage maintenance. They include docks that are automatically empty and mop-washing stations that have many functions. These features make it unnecessary to empty the dust bins or wash mops by hand, allowing the user to have a hands-free ownership experience. The app is simple to use thanks to its simple design and lag-free connection to the robot.

Hobot Legee D8

Hobot Legee, with its extensive range of integrated cleaning features and advanced mopping capabilities is among the top robot vacuums/mops that can be used on dry and wet floors. Its advanced navigation system combines five different technologies to plan and take the most efficient route. It also detects different flooring materials, as well as obstacles with precision. It can lift its body up to 7mm to glide over carpets. Smart spray system uses just the right amount of water to aid in stain removal, without leaving water marks.

The Legee is a Gen 4 robot that competes directly with the Eufy Robovac X9 and Ecovacs Deebot T20, both of which cost more. It has more features, including a flexible D-shaped robot that can clean corners and under cabinets better than the round version. Its sensors include 360deg 3D (Lidar, Encoder, Gyro E-compass, and Encoder), four forward-facing and one right-side-facing FDS (IR ToF sensors for distance) and two cliff detectors in the front and back (most robots have just one pair). It also includes Legee SLAM to reduce the bump-andgrind issues that plague Gen 4 robots.

In contrast to other robots, unlike other robots, the Legee has an integrated trash compactor that is compatible with the less noisy 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. The LuLu mop cleaner station cleans, refills and dries the mop's 'cloth'. This means that you can use it for up to six times longer than other mop cloths. It also reduces waste and the frequency with which bins are empty.

Karcher RCV 5

Known for its pressure washers and garden tools, Karcher has been dabbling in robot vacuums for a time and it's the most advanced model. It is powered by LiDAR and creates maps of your home and can be programmed to vacuum or mop. It can also distinguish between hard floors and carpets and prevent puddles on your precious pile.

Its navigation is flawless, avoiding carpets or furniture with ease. It can also lift itself over steps. The robot is programmable with different settings, including cleaning schedules and rooms it will clean. It has an 'emergency button' that causes the robot to return home if its power is cut off. It can also be set to turn off automatically if a storm approaches.

The RCV 5 is easy to use and, although quite large at almost 4kg, it's not difficult to maneuver around furniture. Children with small hands will appreciate the safety features such as sensors that warn you to stay clear of steps. Once charged it takes just about a couple of hours to charge, and the two buttons on the top will turn green to signal that it is now ready to use.

Mova E30 Ultra

The Mova E30 Ultra is a robot vacuum cleaner that blends advanced cleaning technology with affordability. It's a competitor to models such as the Dreame L10 Ultra and Roborock's Q Revo. Despite its price being lower it is worth the price. Mova E30 Ultra offers features that other models can't compete with. It utilizes sensors to alter its settings to suit different floors and surfaces, as well as detect areas that are more prone to dirt and ensure they are given enough attention. It can also move slower to avoid damaging delicate furniture or walls.

You can also look at the map of your home in the app. You can also mark out certain rooms and objects you want to keep out of the way. The vacuum will slow down if it detects an obstruction and avoid getting into it. It also comes with a smart dustbin that alerts you when it's full, so you can empty it on time.

The Mova E30 Ultra is an affordable choice for those who wants to delegate their the chores of daily cleaning. It has dual functionality as a robot vacuum and mop that lets you keep your floors spotless without having to lift a finger. It features a clever design which improves the cleaning of corners by as much as 60%. It has up to 7000 Pa of suction power, and RoboSwing arms. It can be controlled using the app or voice assistants, such as Alexa or Siri.

Beko RCV3

The Beko Robotic Vacuum/Mop RV3 is an elegant, feature-packed vacuum and mop. It does a great job at keeping floors neat and tidy. It can't lift its mop to clean carpets or rug, as does the Roborock S8 MaxV ultra, but it is very good in cleaning hard floors. It also has a self-emptying bin, delivers an excellent suction power, and offers a number of mopping options and is controlled by a top-quality app that works on both iOS and Android.

It's a little smaller than the other models, and its main brush is smaller but it was able to do to do a good job in our test room. The revolving brush on the side for edges is a nice touch and, while it didn't remove dirt from our rugs and carpets like other competitors but it did a decent job overall.

Cleaning parameters can be pre-set for each room, and the robot will create detailed maps of rooms with built-in LiDAR navigation. It's easy to control using the app and a variety of voice output options will keep you informed about the condition of your home robot. Regular updates to the software can improve and extend its performance. The application can be used to remotely control the RCV3 even when you are not at home.
