Best Automatic Vacuum and Mop Combos
The Narwal Freo X Ultra is one of the best robot vacuums and mops I've tried. Its base station has a large water tank and dustbin, and its double rubber brush is less likely to tangle hair than single bristles.
Its mopping performance is strong and its AI mapping excels in eliminating obstacles. It also has the capability to pause its cleaning job and resume where it began.
1. Roomba Combo j9+
The Roomba Combo J9+ is a 2-in-1 robot mop and vacuum cleaner that is among the most sophisticated available. It features a sleek, self-emptying Clean Base which can be used to store up to two mopping cycles. It's designed to look just like a small desk. It's also the sole robot mop we've tested that comes with an onboard water reservoir to automatically wash and refill the cleaning pads after each vacuuming and mopping cycle.
The mopping arm sits unobtrusively on top of the unit until it is able to detect hard floors, then lowers to begin cleaning. It is able to move slowly and with care over surfaces to make sure it doesn't accidentally spill wet spills or mud across carpeted areas. It does a great job of staying out of the way of furniture, cords and other obstacles.
The iRobot Home App is smarter than most robot vacuums. It allows you to modify the settings of your cleaner, prioritize rooms based on the amount of dirt, schedule cleaning times and much more. The app comes with precise maps of your home and seasonal recommendations, as well as customized cleaning routines, as as a variety of smart home integrations that are easy to use.
This robot vac/mop uses iRobot’s Imprint Smart Mapping Technology to identify objects like tables, sofas and counters. It can be controlled using Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri making it simple to clean your home.
The Roomba J9+ unlike other vacuums and mopping robotics, creates a map of your house 7 times faster than previous models. It also labels each area according to floor type to ensure that it will remember where you want it to vacuum or mop. It also features a Turbo Mode that boosts suction for difficult spots. With iRobot's Dirt Detective it can analyze your habits of cleaning and adjust the cleaning priorities and settings for the most soiled areas of your home.
2. Yeedi M12 Pro+
With its top-quality features and user-friendly controls for the app, the Yeedi M12 Pro+ is a strong contender in the field of automatic vacuum and mop combo robots. Its suction power is powerful and advanced mopping technology make it the ideal cleaning partner for smart homes. Its affordable price and smart automation make it a great choice for households that are on a budget.
To begin using the M12 software, download and open the Yeedi app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you will be asked to give your robot an unique name. The M12 only works with 2.4GHz networks.
The M12 offers several different cleaning options for mopping and vacuuming. Its clever design allows it to map a room in just six minutes and alter its cleaning route accordingly. Its advanced mopping features include two spinning pads, with electronically controlled water and a "True Edge Adaptive Edge Mopping System" that ensures thorough cleaning of all floor edges.
Navigationally, the M12 uses LiDAR and IR to avoid obstacles. The sensors are capable of picking up larger objects like HVAC vents, and furniture. However, they may struggle with smaller objects, like cables and small rags, which may cause the robot to miss areas.
The M12's built-in inclinometer enables it to detect and navigate up and down stairs. It can also automatically return to its OMNI station to wash and dry its mop brushes, and then refill its water tanks. If its batteries are low the OMNI station can even automatically empty the dust bin and clean itself.
3. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the bleeding edge in robot cleaning, packing an incredible quantity of features in an attractive package. It comes with the largest mopping capacity and a camera that can be used for improved obstacles to avoid and a powerful vacuum that has the ability to sense when it's sweeping over carpets. It also comes with advanced technology and voice assistant features.
It's a fantastic vacuum and mop, completing our 1,500 square foot test area in a mere 101 minutes before running out of battery and returning to its dock. Its mop is automatically cleaned between uses. This reduces costs for maintenance while keeping its pads clean. In addition, there is a dock sensor that can detect when the mop pad is dirty and initiates the washing cycle to keep it clean.
Like its predecessors, like its predecessors, the S8 MaxV Ultra features an intelligent system that recognizes household objects including pet waste and shoes using cameras and LIDAR combination. It did well in our test of obstacle avoidance, with only one hiccup during my tests (it was stuck while in unwinding a ball of wool that was caught in its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with a brand new 10,000pa suction power, which is more than double its predecessor. This makes it a good choice for homes with lots of carpet and a variety of flooring kinds. The vacuum can be programmed to automatically increase the suction when it moves over dust or crumbs.
As with previous models, there are multiple docking stations that can be placed in different rooms to help make it easier to clean and mopping. The docking station can be connected to the plumbing system and will drain and refill the water tank when you're done.
4. Dreametech X40 Ultra
The Dreame X40 Ultra is the latest flagship robot vacuum and mop from Dreame and comes with some features that the company's more expensive models do not have. It features top-quality suction and mops hard floors with a plethora of ease. It has many advanced features, including an auto-extending mop head and self-detangling rollers for brush. The X40 Ultra also offers automatic self-cleaning of the base station and dust collection filter. The mop pads are cleaned in hot water and then drained, and the dirty water tank is automatically emptied after each cleaning session.
It has advanced options to customise the cleaning schedule. For example you can set the exact start and stop time for each cycle or whether it should vacuum carpets first before mopping. It is also able to be instructed to clean areas that are particularly dirty and also increase the suction power around cat litter boxes and pet food bowls. The X40 Ultra is programmable to perform specific tasks, such as cleaning the kitchen sink or bathroom toilet. It can be programmed to automatically lift the front side brush whenever it detects wet spots, and remove debris from corners and baseboards.
The X40 Ultra has a simple, intuitive app with various features. It is simple to use and set up. It is quieter than many corded vacuums and only occasional low hums from its motor and a burst of suction when cleaning. Its navigation system, which makes use of cameras, 3D structured lights, multiple lasers and a 3D structured light to detect and avoid obstacles it is impressive. This helps the X40 Ultra receive one of the top scores in our assessments of obstacle avoidance.
5. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro has been created to be an extremely powerful mop and vacuum that is also user-friendly. The base station, which is gunmetal-colored, is self-emptying and fills its own tank with clean water. It automatically empties the dust bin into a smaller one it washes and dry its own mop pad between cleaning sessions. It also has a sophisticated feature set that lets it switch between hard and rugs effectively removing dirt and pet hair from carpets and raised room thresholds.
The S1 Pro's navigation and mapping are outstanding, and the internal dToF LiDAR device that allows it to keep an unobtrusive appearance while delivering top-notch objects avoidance. It can drive close to walls without hitting them and avoids steps, and also raises its mop automatically when it drives over rugs and carpets with a short pile. However, it did struggle a little when encountering longer-pile carpets and several large, thick piles of dried-on debris.
The S1 Pro is ready to be used right from the moment you purchase it, and it just requires just a few minutes of mapping to discover your home. Once that's done the map is displayed in the app and rooms can be added or combined depending on the need. You can also set virtual boundaries and no-go zones or no-mop zones in case there's something you don't want your robot to touch.
The S1 Pro is a great option for homes that have flooring of both types, because it can mop and vacuum. However the fact that it relies on an Eufy-branded cleaning system (which is included in the box) makes it less flexible than other robots that let you add your own solutions.
