Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems

This robot vacuum mop is a great alternative for those who live in flats, as it carries the rubbish away in its own bin and utilizes an incredibly small docking station. Its app lets you set up different modes and monitor cleans. The mopping feature is also very impressive.

Its mapping, obstacle avoidance and the mops are stunning. It can pick up pet hair, spills, and dirt. It also self-empties and self-cleans and replenishes its water tank.

Roomba from iRobot Combo

The iRobot Combo adds mopping to the already impressive vacuuming capabilities of the robot. The iRobot Combo can't replace our Editors' Choice winner, the Deebot X1 Omni. It is more efficient at cleaning, and comes with a mobile app that is easier to use, but it's a good 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, lacking structured light and other features like LiDAR, but it was able to avoid most collisions with furniture and other clutter.

The Combo features most of the same smarts as the j7 Plus and comes with the latest onboard acoustic sensors that identify the type of floor and AI-powered navigation, but lacks the ability to set suction power manually. It's also smaller than its vacuum-only counterpart and doesn't come with an auto-empty dock.

The Combo is one of my favorite options for homes with a lot of space. Its sleek design is also one of the best I've seen. The matte black finish is more elegant than the metallic or glossy finishes of most competitors. iRobot also adds some elegant touches, like the leather tab that opens the bin that is onboard and a shelf that can hold extra bags inside the dock. The iRobot Combo also makes it easy to create maps of your home, and to set up Keep-Out Zones as well as No-Mop Zones, and Clean Zones.

Roborock

While Roborock is comparatively new to the robotic vacuum and mop market but it's already earned a name for itself due to its suite of innovative cleaning technologies.

Furthermore, a range of mapping and scheduling options lets you adjust the schedule of cleaning for your specific home.

Another amazing Roborock feature is obstacle avoidance that allows the robot to see objects smaller than its height. This is particularly useful for Roborock's most popular models, such as the Qrevo Master. It is the top of its kind when it comes to navigation, thanks to both vSLAM, and LiDAR. Other robovacs have been known to slam into pet waste and slam furniture with no awareness. The Qrevo Master is able to solve this issue by utilizing an AI system called Reactive that makes use of dual cameras to perceive the presence of objects in a room.

Roborock robots are equipped with a variety of features that make it easier to manage maintenance. They include docks that are automatically empty, and mop washing stations with many functions. They eliminate the need to empty the dustbins manually and wash mops, making for an entirely hands-free ownership experience. Plus the app's minimalist design and seamless connection to the robot make it easy to use.

Its sensors include 360deg 3D (Lidar, Encoder, Gyro E-compass) four forward-facing and one right-side-facing FDS (IR ToF sensors for distance) and two Cliff detectors, front and back (most robots that vacuum and mop only have one pair). It also includes Legee SLAM to help reduce the bump-and-grind issues that plague Gen 4 robots.

The Legee is different from other robots due to the fact that it includes a trash compactor and utilizes the more quiet 5 GHz band of Wi-Fi.
