Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems

This robotic vacuum-mop is an ideal choice for apartment dwellers as it has an economized docking system and has its own garbage bin. Its app allows you to select different modes and monitor the cleanliness as well as the mopping function is impressive.

Its mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance are impressive, as is the fact that it scrubs very well and removes pet hair, spillages and dirt. It also self-empties and cleans and refills its tank.

Roomba from iRobot Combo

The iRobot Combo adds mopping to the already impressive vacuuming capabilities of the robot. It's not quite able to compete with our reigning Editors' Choice, the Deebot X1 Omni, which scrubs more and has an easier-to-use mobile app however it makes for a strong alternative. It was able to consistently remove dirt from hard floors and carpets. Its obstacle avoidance system isn't among the most advanced in the world, lacking structured light and other technology like LiDAR, but it did a good job of preventing collisions with furniture and clutter.

The Combo comes with many of the same smarts that the J7 Plus includes, such as an the onboard acoustic sensor for determining the type of floor and AI-powered Navigation. However, it lacks the ability set suction power manually. It's also less compact than its vac-only model, and it doesn't have a self-empty dock.

The Combo is one of my top choices for most homes. Its sleek design is also one of the best I've seen in the industry. The matte black finish is more elegant than the glossy or metallic finishes of most competitors. iRobot also adds some more elegant features, such as the leather tab to open the bin on board, and a shelf to hold extra bags inside the dock. The iRobot Combo also allows you to easily create maps of your home, and to set up Keep-Out Zones, No-Mop Zones, and Clean Zones.

While Roborock is comparatively new to the robotic vacuum and mop market however, it has already made its mark because of its innovative cleaning techniques. The vacuums are renowned for their suction power, and the brand's mopping systems come with vibrating mops that can scrub floors clean. You can also alter the cleaning routine of the bot by making use of a variety of scheduling and mapping features.

Another outstanding Roborock feature is the obstacle avoidance, which lets the robot detect objects smaller than its height. This is particularly useful for Roborock's most popular models, such as the Qrevo Master. It is the best of its kind when it comes to navigation, thanks to both vSLAM and LiDAR. Other robovacs have been often seen to crash into furniture and run over pet faeces and faeces with no awareness, but the Qrevo Master solves this issue with an AI system called Reactive that uses twin cameras to perceive objects in the room.

Roborock robots are equipped with a variety of convenience features to reduce maintenance. These include docks that are auto-emptied and mop-washing stations with many functions. These make it easier to empty the dustbins manually and wash mops, which makes for an experience that is completely hands-free. The app is easy to use thanks to its straightforward design and the lag-free connection to the robot.

Hobot Legee D8

Hobot Legee, with its wide variety of integrated cleaning features and advanced mopping capabilities is among the top robot vacuums and mops for wet and dry floors. Its advanced navigation system combines five technologies to design and execute a route that is the most efficient. It also recognizes different flooring materials and identify obstacles with precision. It can raise itself up to 7mm in order to glide across carpets. Smart spray system uses just the right amount of water for stain removal, without leaving water marks.

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

The Legee is distinct from other robots because it has a trash compactor built-in and uses the more quiet 5 GHz band of Wi-Fi. The LuLu mop cleaning station ishes, refills and dries the mop's  cloth. It can be used up to six times longer than you would with other mops. It also reduces the amount of waste produced and the frequency of emptying bins.

Karcher RCV 5

Popular for its pressure washers and garden tools, Karcher has been dabbling in robot vacuums for quite a while, and this is the brand's 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 tell the distinction between carpets and hard floors, so that you don't get water puddles on your precious pile.

Its navigation is top-quality that can avoid furniture and rugs with ease and even lifting itself up over steps. The robot is programmable by adjusting different settings, such as cleaning schedules and rooms it should be cleaning. It also has an emergency button' that forces the robot to return home if its power goes out. It can be set to shut off automatically when a storm approaches.

The RCV 5 is easy to use and, although quite hefty at nearly 4kg, it's not difficult to manoeuvre around furniture. Safety features like a sensor that alerts you to stay clear of stairs will be appreciated by those with small children. Once charged the device will take only about a couple of hours to charge and the two buttons at the top will turn green to let you that it is ready to use.

Mova E30 Ultra



The Mova E30 Ultra is a robot vacuum cleaner that combines advanced cleaning technology with affordability. It is a competitor to models such as the Dreame L10 Ultra or Roborock's top-selling Q Revo. The Mova E30 Ultra is a cheaper model, but it comes with features that are not available in many other models. It utilizes sensors to adjust its settings to different surfaces and floors as well as to identify dirtier areas and ensure that they get enough attention. It can also move more slowly to avoid damaging delicate furniture or walls.

You can also look at the map of your home in the app. You can also mark areas and objects that you want the vacuum to stay away from. The vacuum will slow down if it detects an obstruction, and avoid hitting it. It also comes with smart dustbins that notify you when it's empty, so you can empty it before you need to.

The Mova E30 Ultra offers a cost-effective solution for those who want to delegate their cleaning chores. It's a robot mop and vacuum cleaner that can clean your floors without needing to lift a single finger. It also features a clever design that improves corner cleaning efficiency by as much as 60%. It comes with a suction capacity of up to 7,000 Pa and RoboSwing arm, which can be controlled by the app or voice assistants such as Alexa or Siri.

Beko RCV3

The Beko Robotic Vacuum/Mop RCV3 is a stylish, feature-packed robot vacuum and mop. It does an outstanding job of keeping floors neat and tidy. Although it isn't able to raise its mop on carpets and rugs like the winning Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra it's very good at both cleaning hard floors and tackling damp mopping duties with impressive speed. It has a self emptying bin, a high degree of suction, a variety of mopping options, and a top-quality app that runs on iOS and Android.

It's a little smaller than most of the competitors and its main brush is smaller than the majority, but it was able to get the job done in a short amount of our test room with ease. The edge brush that revolves on the side is a great addition. Although it didn't get rid of dirt as well as other competitors, it performed well.

The device can be programmed with specific cleaning parameters for each room. It will then create detailed maps using the built-in LiDAR navigation. It's simple to control through the app and a variety of voice output options will keep you informed of the state of your home robot. Regular updates to the software enhance and extend its performance. The application can also be used to remotely manage the RCV3 when you're not at home.
