Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
Most robot vacuum-mop combos can be customized with a specialized app to save the maps of your home setting cleaning schedules, and select mopping options. They also let you change suction power and fine tune the amount of water and the scrubbing action of your mop.
A mapping function helps your robot navigate around rooms. A feature to avoid obstacles helps it avoid running over furniture, wires, or stray toys. These features are essential in my home that is filled with toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the company's flagship mop and vacuum, so it's a natural choice to be with features. It can mop and sweep simultaneously, and raise its mop pads or brushes to ensure that soft surfaces don't get too wet. It can also stay clear of obstacles by finding pets, plants, and other small objects.
The robotic vacuum has a suction power of 6,000 pascals which is more than any other robot vac we've tested up to now. It also has PreciSense LiDAR Navigation, which tracks its position, which prevents it from getting stuck on a surface.
The mopping function is impressive and features the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of more than 6 Newtons to the mop pad, resulting in an intense clean. It also comes with mop lifter technology which lifts the pad automatically when it changes between tile and laminate, hardwood and carpet or rugs, to prevent soaking soft surfaces.
Additionally, the S8 Pro Ultra has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. The pad can be cleaned and dried in the dock, and the dust bin will get emptied and automatically returned to it. You can set it to forget about it. You only need to refill the water tank, or change the dust bag every now and then.
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 around 160 minutes before it began to run out of power, and then returned 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 tested.
It's a robust, well-rounded product. remote hoover is that it's pricey. The sheer amount of features make it a very attractive option for anyone looking to replace their old stick vacuums and mops. We would highly recommend this vacuum if you can justify the cost.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a premium mop and robot vacuum. Its price is justified by its robust features, which include a large vacuuming capacity and two gyrating mops. It comes with an app-enabled smart control system and an advanced obstacle-avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra is one of the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop combinations out there at a recommended retail price of 999 euros. In my tests, it performed admirably throughout the entire home. It was able to eliminate 98.4% debris on all types of floors and managed to lift long hair without getting caught up in. The mops also performed well with 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 main selling aspect of the L10S Ultra. It's multifunctional and advanced. The docking station empties the trash bin into a bag for dirt, then refills the water tank to use for mopping, and even dry your mop pads. It has a real-time hazards detection system, and its intelligent controls allow you to schedule regular cleaning sessions.
The L10S Ultra does not offer superior carpet debris removal performance compared to the other hybrid vacuum mop I tested. In addition the mops aren't adept at removing tough stains like those in the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, which is the most expensive model. Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
In spite of the L10S Ultra's top-of-the-line features, it requires regular care and maintenance. To avoid mildew and unpleasant smells, the base station, dustbag, and water tanks need to be cleaned, emptied and dried regularly. It is also important to keep in mind that the mop pads, which are bought separately must be replaced regularly too.
With the L10S Ultra's pricey cost and robust features I would recommend it to anyone with the money for it. If you're on a tighter budget, I would suggest a more rudimentary model that will allow you to save money while still enjoying hands-free cleaning at your home. It's worth noting that even the L10S Ultra is the best mop and robotic vacuum you can find, its high purchase cost and maintenance costs will eventually make it more of a wish rather than a requirement.
3. Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking for a robotic mop and vacuum that can remove dust and dirt on your floors while taking care of wet messes, then take a look at the Eufy S1 Pro. This powerful robovac/mop combination is a mighty 8,000 Pa suction power. It also boasts an enormous battery capacity that can be used for vacuuming as well as mowing. And it is equipped with an excellent obstacle-avoidance system. It even has an automatic mop that cleans itself as it moves and makes the S1 Pro stand out from other models that require users to return to their base station mid-clean to clean the mop's pad.
The S1 Pro uses a unique mopping system that is a major departure from the microfibre pads and spinning discs of other robots. The roller is almost entire width of the robot and is continuously supplied with ozonated, clean water from its dock. The roller scrubs the floor while soaking up dirt. Any dry debris is removed using the side brushes, or swept up into the front bumper. The S1 Pro then discharges the mop water that is dirty into its base station where it is sucked up by the tank's heating elements, and then pumped into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard holds plenty of water and can handle a half dozen mopping sessions before running dry.
Like many robotic vacuums and mop sets, the S1 Pro is ready to take it out of the box. It does need to be filled with clean water, however this is easy to do in the cleaning dock. You can also add cleaning solution to the dock if you prefer to have the option of using your own cleaner. 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 permit you to use your personal choice of cleaners.
The S1 Pro performed well in the navigation efficiency and coverage tests, as did the majority of robots. It was quick to map a room and it easily navigated around furniture. The only problem is that it got stuck a couple of times on carpets with longer piles and rugs in my tests however this can be fixed when the software is upgraded. The S1 Pro is a very robust robot that is available at an affordable price.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's entry-level mop and vacuum, and 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 moves. The mopping system is capable of cleaning a good bit of an area before it needs to return to its dock and the vacuum's powerful suction is capable of removing debris and pet hair on carpets.
The application that runs the appliance is quite 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 is mapped by the device or you can pick specific rooms, expandable zones or even a routine that you've crafted. There are a number of mopping options, including SmartPlan -- an algorithm that utilizes the sensors on the mops to determine the most efficient method to tidy your home as it maps the area.
The Qrevo did well in our tests, like the other Roborock models we've test. Its navigation system is reliable, mapping rooms quickly and cleaning them in an organized fashion. The 'Normal" pathing settings cover the room thoroughly, without any major gaps or missing areas. The Reactive Tech hazard avoidance system works fairly well, too although it's not as advanced as the color camera system of the Qrevo Master or the S8 Pro Ultra. It can spot the dangers of carpets that are thick but it might not always recognize smaller things such as rug tassels or electrical wires.
The most obvious flaw with this machine is the lack of a mop-after-vacuum option which could be a problem for people who do a lot of vacuuming prior to cleaning with their robot. There's a simple solution: the app offers a feature that allows you to "clean up" at the conclusion 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. This is a nice feature that helps this robot to clean up a bit better than its less expensive competitors.
