Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems
This vacuum cleaner is a great option for those who live in apartments as it uses an economized docking system and carries its own rubbish bin. Its app lets you set up different modes and monitor cleaning. The mopping function is also impressive.
Its mapping, obstacle avoidance and mops are impressive. It is able to pick up pet hair, spills and dirt. It also self-empties, cleans itself and re-fills its tank.
Roomba from iRobot Combo
The iRobot Combo is an iRobot that can mop and vacuum. It's not quite able to compete with our current Editors' Choice, the Deebot X1 Omni, which scrubs more and has an easier-to-use mobile app, but it does make an excellent alternative. In our tests it was able to pick up dirt of different sizes and types from carpets and hard floors. Its obstacle avoidance system isn't among the most advanced in the world, and isn't equipped with structured light and other technologies like LiDAR, but it still did a good job of preventing collisions with furniture and other clutter.
The Combo has the same smarts as the j7 Plus with the addition of the latest onboard acoustic sensors that determine floor type and AI-powered navigation. However, affordable robot vacuum lacks the ability to set suction power manually. It's also a bit smaller than the vac-only version, and doesn't come with a self-emptying dock.
The Combo is one of my favorite options for homes with a lot of space. Its sleek design is also among the best I've seen in the industry. The matte black finish is more elegant than the metallic or glossy finishes of the majority of competitors. iRobot also adds some classier touches, such as the leather tab to open the bin that is onboard and a shelf that can hold bags in the dock. The iRobot Combo also allows you to create maps of your home, as well as to set up Keep-Out Zones, No-Mop Zones and Clean Zones.
Roborock
Roborock, a relatively new player in the robotic vacuum and mop market, has already established itself by offering innovative cleaning technology. The brand's vacuums have industry-leading suction, and mopping systems make use of vibrating mops to scrub floors clean. You can also customize the cleaning routine of the bot by using a variety of scheduling and mapping options.
Roborock's obstacle avoidance feature enables the robot to spot objects that are smaller than its own height. This is particularly useful for Roborock's most popular models, like the Qrevo Master. It is the best of its kind when it comes to navigation, thanks to vSLAM and LiDAR. Other robovacs are known to slam into pet waste and slam furniture, without even noticing. The Qrevo Master however, addresses this issue with an AI system called Reactive that uses dual cameras to detect objects within a room.
Roborock robots are also equipped with a number of convenience features that reduce day-to-day maintenance. These include auto-empty capable docks and multifunctional mop washing stations. These features eliminate the need to empty the dust bins or wash mops by hand, allowing for a truly hands free ownership experience. The app is easy to use due to its easy-to-use design and lag-free connection to the robot.
Hobot Legee D8
With a range of integrated cleaning modes and advanced mopping options, the Hobot Legee is among the top robot vacuums/mops for wet and dry floors. Its advanced navigation system combines five technologies to design and execute the most efficient route. It can also identify different flooring materials, as well as obstacles with pinpoint accuracy. It can even raise its own 7mm to glide over carpets. The smart spray system makes use of the right amount of water to remove the stains, without leaving ugly water marks.
The Legee is an Gen 4 Robot, competes directly against the Eufy Robovac X9 or Ecovacs Deebot T20. Both of them cost more. It comes with more features, including a flexible D-shaped robot that can clean corners and under cabinets better than a round model. Its sensors include 360deg (3D) (Lidar Encoder Gyro and E-compass) four forward-facing sensors, 1 right-side-facing (IR ToF distance sensors) and two pairs of cliff detectors both front and rear (most robots only have one pair). It also includes Legee SLAM, which helps to eliminate the bump-and-grind issues that cause problems for Gen 4 robots.
The Legee is distinct from other robots due to the fact that it comes with a trash compactor and operates on the quieter 5 GHz band of Wi-Fi. The LuLu mop cleaning station ishes, refills and dries the mop cloth. It can be used for up to six times longer than you would with other mops. It also cuts down on waste and the frequency of emptying the bin.
Karcher RCV 5
Karcher is a household name for its pressure washers and gardening tools is also experimenting with robot vacuums for some time. This is the most technologically advanced model from the brand. Based on LiDAR technology, it creates maps of your house and can be programmed to clean or mop. It can also distinguish between carpets and hard floors to ensure that you don't end up with the dreaded puddles on your carpet.
Its navigation is top-notch that can avoid furniture and rugs with ease and even lifting itself up over steps. The robot can be customized by adjusting a range of settings that include cleaning schedules and the rooms it should clean. It has an 'emergency button' that causes the robot to return home if its power runs out. It can be set to shut off automatically when a storm approaches.
The RCV 5 is very easy to use and, despite being heavy at nearly 4kg, you won't experience any difficulty moving it around furniture. Children with small hands will appreciate the safety features, such as sensors that warn you to stay clear of steps. Once fully charged it will take just some hours to charge and the two buttons at the top will turn green to let you know it is ready for action.
Mova E30 Ultra
The Mova E30 Ultra is a robot vacuum cleaner that combines modern cleaning technology with affordability. It is a competitor to models such as the Dreame L10 Ultra or Roborock's most popular Q Revo. Despite its lower price tag it is worth the price. Mova E30 Ultra offers features that more expensive models can't compete with. It makes use of sensors to adjust the settings for different floors and surfaces, as well as to find areas with dirtier surfaces. It can also move more slowly to avoid damaging delicate furniture or walls.
You can also look at the map of your home within the app. You can also mark rooms and objects you would like the vacuum to stay clear from. The device will slow down when it sees an obstacle, and will stop from bumping into it. It is also equipped with a smart dustbin that alerts you when it's full, so that you can empty it before you need to.
The Mova E30 Ultra offers a cost-effective option for those looking to delegate their daily cleaning tasks. It is a robot mop and vacuum cleaner that can clean your floors without having to lift a finger. It features a clever design which increases cleaning at corners by up to 60%. It has up to 7000 Pa of suction power, and RoboSwing arms, and it can be controlled via the app or voice assistants such as Alexa or Siri.
Beko RCV3
The Beko Robotic Vacuum/Mop RCV3 is an elegant, feature-packed vacuum/mop. It does an excellent job of keeping floors neat and tidy. It's not able to lift its mop to clean carpets or rug as well as the Roborock S8 MaxV ultra, but it's very effective in cleaning hard floors. It also comes with an auto-emptying bin, provides an adequate amount of suction power, provides many mopping options and can be controlled by a top-quality app that is compatible with both iOS and Android.
It's a little smaller than most of the competitors and its main brush is smaller than most but it still did a great job of making short work of our test room easily. The brush that rotates on the side that is used for edges is a nice addition and, while it didn't lift dirt from our rugs and carpets like some of the competitors however, it did a decent job overall.
The individual cleaning parameters can be set for each room and the robot will create detailed maps of the rooms using built-in LiDAR navigation. It's simple to control through the app, and a range of voice output options will keep you informed of the condition of your home robot. Regular updates to the software can improve and increase the performance. The app can be used to remotely control the RCV3 even when you're away from home.
