Best Robotic Mop and Vacuum Combos
The majority of robot vacuum-mop combinations can be customised using an application that is specifically designed for. You can save maps of your home, create cleaning schedules and choose mopping modes. You can also adjust the suction power, and how much water the mop is using.
A mapping function helps your robot navigate through rooms. A feature for avoiding obstacles helps it avoid running over wires, furniture, or stray toys. These are essential features for my house, stuffed with strewn-about toys.
1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the company's flagship vacuum and mop, is packed with features. It can mop and sweep simultaneously, and can even lift its mop pads or brushes to ensure that soft surfaces don't get wet. It also can avoid obstacles by looking for pet toys, plants, and other small objects.
The robotic vacuum's maximum suction power is 6,600 pascals. This is the highest power of any robot vacuum we have tested so far. It is also equipped with PreciSense LiDAR Navigation to track its position, which prevents it from getting stuck on an object.
The mopping function is impressive and the S8 Pro Ultra able to apply a constant pressure of 6 Newtons to the mop pad to provide deep cleaning. It also has an automatic mop lifting system which will lift the pad when it goes from tile to laminate hardwood, carpet and rugs, thereby avoiding soaking these types of soft surfaces.
The S8 Pro Ultra also has self-washing and self-drying capabilities. The pad is capable of rinsing and then drying within the dock. The dust bin will automatically empty and return to the dock. You can set it up and forget about it. It is only necessary to replenish the water tank or replace the dust bag on occasion.
This is all powered by a lithium-ion battery of 5,200mAh. The S8 Pro Ultra ran on its normal 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 is within the range of the 180 minutes Roborock claims, and is on par with other hybrids that I've tested.
It's a comprehensive, reliable product. The only downside is that it's pricey. Its sheer number of features makes it a great choice for anyone looking to replace their old stick vacuums and mops. If you are able to justify the price we strongly recommend checking this one out.
2. Dreametech L10S Ultra
The Dreametech L10S Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop combo. Its high-end price is justified by its impressive features, which include the capacity to vacuum large volumes and two gyrating mops. It also comes with an app-based, smart controller and a powerful obstacle avoidance system.
The L10S Ultra has a retail price of 999 Euros, which is among the most powerful robotic vacuums and mop combos available. In my testing it did well across all areas of the house, removing 98.4% of debris on all floor types and managing to lift long hair with no getting caught in. The mops were also great, achieving great cleaning results with less effort than mid-range models, thanks to their rotational motion and the powerful cleaning solution.
However, the L10S Ultra's most significant selling point is its innovative multifunctional docking station. The dock empties its dustbin into dirt bag, then refills its water tank for mopping, and dry the mop pads for you. It is equipped with a real-time danger detection system, and its intelligent controls let you schedule regular cleaning sessions.
The L10S Ultra does not offer the best performance in removing carpet debris in comparison to the other hybrid mop I tried. In addition it's not as capable at scrubbing away stubborn stains as those found in the top Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Despite the L10S Ultra's top-of-the-line features it still requires regular maintenance. To prevent mildew or unpleasant odors, the base unit dustbag, water and tanks must be cleaned and emptied regularly. They also need to be dried. The mop pads that are sold separately will require replacement every few months.
Given the L10S Ultra's premium pricing and its extensive features I would recommend it to anyone with the budget for it. If you're on a tighter budget, I would suggest an easier model that allows you to save money while still enjoying hands-free cleaning at home. Even it were the case that the L10S Ultra was the best vacuum and robotic mop you could buy, its high cost and constant maintenance will make it more of an item to have than one that you actually need.

The S1 Pro has a unique mopping system that is different from the spinning discs and microfibre pads found in other robots. The roller is almost full width of the bot, and it is constantly supplied with ozonated, clean water from its dock. While it spins the roller, it scrubs your floors while soaking up dirt, and any dry debris is picked up by the side brushes or swept away into the front colision bumper. The S1 Pro removes the dirty mop water into its base station where it is sucked up by the tank's heater elements and emptied into a larger storage container. The tank that is onboard can hold a good amount of water and can handle up to half a dozen mopping sessions before rushing out.
Like many robot vacuums and mop combinations The S1 Pro is ready to take it out from the box. It does need to be filled with clean water, however this is easy to do by cleaning the dock. You can also add a cleaning solution to the dock, in case you want to have the option of using your own cleaner. If robot vacuums uk decide to use this feature, however, you will be required to purchase the Eufy brand cleaning solution which is more expensive than other robot brands that allow users to select their own choice of cleaning products.
Like many robots, the S1 Pro did well in accuracy in navigation and coverage tests. It was quick to map out a area and moved around furniture. It got stuck on carpets with thick piles a couple of times during my tests. However it could be improved by updating the software. The S1 Pro is an all-in-one robot that provides lots of features at affordable prices.
4. Roborock Qrevo
The Qrevo is Roborock's basic mop and vacuum. However, it has some outstanding features. The dock's multifunction emptying the robot's dirtbag, filling its water tanks, and washing and sanitizing mop pads is performed by the dock. The mopping system itself is capable cleaning a large portion of a space before it needs to return to its dock, and the vacuum's extreme suction is capable of picking up debris and pet hair from carpets.
The application that runs the appliance is quite extensive, and provides various options for customizing the cleaning process. You can set it up manually to start a full map and clean of everything that is mapped by the device or you can choose specific rooms, expandable zones, or even a schedule you've created. automatic hoover is one of the mopping options. It uses the sensors on the mops to map out the area and determine the most efficient method to clean it.
Like all the Roborock models we've evaluated, the Qrevo performs well in our tests. Its navigation system performs well, mapping rooms quickly and cleaning in an organized way. The 'Normal" pathing setting covers the room thoroughly, without any major gaps or missing areas. Reactive Tech's hazard avoidance function works well, however it's not as advanced as the color camera systems on the Qrevo Master and the S8 Pro Ultra. It is able to detect dangers like thick carpets but may not be able recognize smaller items such as rug tassels and electrical wires.
The one glaring flaw of this machine is the lack of a mop-after-vacuum option, which could be an issue for people who are frequently vacuuming before cleaning with their robot. There's a simple solution to this issue: The app offers an option that allows you to "clean up", at the end of every vacuuming session. This lets you utilize the vacuum's mopping capability to get rid of the last traces of debris and dust that are left behind by your vacuuming. It's a nice touch and helps the robot get rid of a bit better than its less expensive competitors.
