Best Self-Expelling Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

We recommend getting a robot mop and vacuum with an easy-to-use base station. This allows you to clean or replace cleaning pads, as well as empty and clean the water tank.

Also consider a model that is connected to Wi-Fi so you can set automatic or set times for your runs and map your home and use mop/vacuum switching features.

1. Roborock S7 Max Ultra

This powerful robot vacuum and mop is a true workhorse. It cleans your floors, recognizes rug rugs, and then self emptying robot vacuum system maintenance-empties its own water and dust tanks. It is equipped with an impressive suction and can even dispensing detergent. However, all that functionality comes at a hefty price tag of $1,200. It's the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop package I've reviewed so far.

In the box The S7 Max Ultra is very simple to install. When you plug it into the outlet, it will prompt you to create a map of your home using sensors and will continue to use this information to stay clear of obstacles. During our tests, it was able to avoid getting caught on power cords, long curtains, and even dog toys. It's not perfect but it sometimes ran into obstacles such as tangled wires or some odd book or toy.

You can control the S7 Max Ultra via its smartphone application, and this is where you'll find all the advanced features that distinguish it from other robotic vacuums and mops. This includes room-specific cleaning and mopping settings, a scheduling planner mopping and vacuuming strengths, and integrations with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for smart home integration. The S7 Max Ultra's comprehensive feature set lets it do all the things a standard robot would do and more, but for a fraction of the price.

The S7 Max Ultra's vacuuming is impressive and it did a good job of picking up pet hair, dirt, and other debris on both carpet and hard floors. Its automatic dustbin-emptying feature worked flawlessly during our tests, which was and reassuring. It also boasts a 5100 Pa HyperForce suction rating, which is substantially higher than the 2,500Pa performance of the S6 MaxV and S7.

The S7 Max Ultra mopping performance was also good however it wasn't the most efficient. It employed microfiber mops that absorb liquids and use sonic vibrating technology to scrub floors with up to 3,000 revolutions per minutes. This was slightly quicker than the X1 Omni circular pads that spin at 180 rotations per minute. The S7 Max Ultra's ReactiveAI 2.0 obstacle recognition system was extremely good. In our tests, it did not get stuck on anything and avoided curtains, power cords and other obstacles all the time.

2. Narwal Freo

It is something that is shunned by many, but it is necessary to keep your home clean. It's messy, and often stinky job that is difficult to complete, as it involves dustbins, dirty water and the need to ensure that hair or debris does not clog brushes or traps. This is the reason why vacuuming and mopping robots are extremely popular. However, a lot of these machines still require you to manually empty the dust bin and wash and wash mop pads. This can be a hassle particularly if you need to repeat this process several times during or after cleaning sessions. That is why we're happy to learn that a variety of companies are introducing self-emptying robots to make the whole process much easier and less stressful.

The Narwal Freo, the newest addition to the robotic cleaners is equipped with a variety of enhancements in software, sensors, and hardware that are designed to keep it on the leading edge. The trademarked DirtSense Technology and the Smart-Swing feature both work together to better detect the surface being cleaned, and automatically alter the cleaning mode based on the floor type. The Freo also detects dirt and automatically washes mops when they are full. This improves the efficiency for subsequent cleaning sessions because it doesn't return to areas that are soiled.

Another major improvement that the Freo has over its predecessor is the capacity to direct it's operation via an LCD touchscreen on the base station, in addition to using the smartphone app. This is a first in a robot vacuum and mop and is definitely a welcomed change if you'd rather skip the hassle of using the app. You can also optimize the route during a session using the controls on the LCD screen and make sure that the robot is doing exactly what you would like it to do.

The Narwal Freo also does a decent job of keeping its noise level lower when it's working with suction, averaging just 63dB while in suction mode. However, maintaining the Freo isn't a breeze as you'll need to regularly clean various components, such as the primary brush roll and side brushes.

3. Ecovacs Deebot t9+

The Ecovacs Deebot T9+ is available at The Good Guys (for $1279) and is among the most advanced self empty cordless vacuum-emptying robotic mop and vacuum combinations. It is capable of mapping the area of your home, vacuuming and mopping, while also finding and staying clear of obstacles. It can even emit an air freshener which is a nice touch.

It's simple to set up, using the app to create a precise map of your home that it uses while cleaning. Then, you can use the app to select specific rooms or areas to clean. You can also select the time you want it to begin cleaning so that your floors get cleaned while you are asleep or away.

In our tests, we observed the T9+ to be very adept at navigating obstacles. However, it has an inclination to take slightly manic routes around the house, which frequently resulted in it ending returning to the exact location it had begun cleaning a few minutes earlier. This wasn't a lot of times but it was noticeable enough to be noticed and something worth noting down.

The T9+ comes complete with a range of accessories, including the robot vacuum and mop with self empty cleaner, docking station and an automatic-emptying station. The mopping unit, as well as the replacement dustbin are sold separately.

The new navigation and mapping as well as obstacle detection systems are designed to keep your home tidy without interruptions. The updated 3D obstacle avoidance and detection technology recognises objects with precision to avoid collisions, entanglements, or disturbances.

The Deebot T9+ can sweep mop, vacuum and sweep at the same time. Your floors will look as good as it did when you first purchased it. The disposable mopping pad is easy to put on and the microfiber cloth effectively traps dust and blocks away stains, leaving no the residue. The huge volume 2.5L auto-empty station is able to hold up to 30 days of debris without leaks, making it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort. The T9+ also comes with an upgraded 3000Pa vacuum motor that provides powerful suction for a more effective clean.

4. iRobot Combo j7+

The iRobot Combo j7+ robot is a great option for cleaning floors. It's a mop and vacuum, all in one, and it has both excellent obstacle avoidance and home navigation. It can map your home and clean areas, without damaging furniture or walls. The app allows you to set up zones to indicate areas that need to be cleaned as well as areas that you don't want it to clean. You can also set zones for no-mop or no-sweep zones.

iRobot’s iAdapt technology 2.0 is a significant part of what makes Combo j7and smart. The front camera of the majority of the robots made by iRobot is used to stay clear of hazards like pet waste and power cords. In addition, the iAdapt 2.0 enables the Combo j7+ to recognize dirt levels and concentrate on these areas more than other.

When the Combo j7+ detects that it's on a floor that requires mopping then a tiny robot arm with a mop pad lifts up from under the vacuum. Then, it mops the floor until the mopping pad is dry which takes only 90 minutes.

The Combo j7+ can also detect carpeting, which is nice for homes that have a mix of hard floors and carpets. It won't attempt to push the rug through it, but instead will pull away if the device feels it is not able to traverse the space without damaging the carpet or itself.

The Combo J7+ is simple to control using the mobile application, which is intuitive and well-designed. It also works with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa which means you can tell it to begin a cleaning run by voice. The only downside was the small water tank on the Combo J7+, which means you need to refill it often or limit its mopping to smaller areas and use it more frequently in eco-mode.

The Combo J7+ comes with an extremely small dust bin that you have to empty manually. I also discovered that the Combo J7+'s mop pads to be less effective than those of other brands which is unfortunate because it's an otherwise excellent combination robot.
