Can a Robot Vacuum Come With a Mop?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The majority of robot vacuums that we tested were able to mop. The most efficient 2-in-1 models remove the need for post-mopping cleanup by automatically washing the mop pads inside their docks. Do not use any other cleaning solution other than that suggested by the manufacturer. This could cause damage to the robot and invalidate the warranty.

||||||
|
Self-Emptying Bins
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The majority of robot vacuums that come with a mop have self-emptying bins to make cleaning easier and hands-free. The time needed to empty the bin or the base station depends on how dirty and often your home is. These models are ideal for busy families since they eliminate a lot of manual work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The most effective robot vacuums with mopping capabilities have an onboard water tank that holds both dirty and clean water. They also include a compartment that houses the floor-cleaning solution from the brand can be automatically mixed and dispensed. After the cleaning session is over, the onboard bin is filled, and the dirt and dust are returned to the base station to be sealed in larger and more durable dust bag. Base stations can be used to refill, wash and dry the robot mop.

|
|
||||||
|
These "hands-free" robots, like the S8 MaxV Ultra from Roborock are the latest category of robots that can do almost everything for you -- they vacuum, muck and clean, and can even refill their own water tanks as well as wash and dry mop pads. They use the concept of mapping and obstacle avoidance to move around the home, and also clever functions such as room-specific or digital keep-away scheduling.
|

|
|
||||||
|
These new robots are great at cleaning bare floors however they aren't able to reach into tight spaces like between chairs and under furniture. We also recommend robot mops which can mop and vacuum. These include the Roborock S7, S8 and Samsung Powerbot VR90.

|

|
The eufy X10 Pro omni comes with an onboard dust bin that can be cleaned by hand, but it also comes with a docking station capable of emptying the storage bag after two to three cleaning cycles. The only drawback is: you will still need to empty the bin in the vacuum at times. However, we think the extra cost is worth it to have the convenience.
|

|
||||||
|
Self-Cleaning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A robotic vacuum with a self-emptying bin is a great option for large households or families which generate a lot of dust and dirt. These models automatically drop used pads into a trash drawer to be disposed of, which eliminates the necessity of manually emptying the bin and reduces the often you'll need to do it. It's also great to be connected to your smartphone using an app. This lets you organize cleaning schedules and change settings even when you're away.

A good robot mop will have multiple modes to suit different types of floors, including dry sweeping and deep mopping. It also comes with docks that can be recharged between cleanings. If you're looking for a robotic mop that you can control using your voice, look whether it is compatible with a smart assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Certain models have additional features, such as "dirt sensing" which detects how much dirt is left on the pad, and will prompt the mop to mop. Other models have an algorithm that adjusts its pressure to the type of surface (more for tiles and less for hardwood), to avoid scratching the floor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Certain robot mops are capable saving a map of the area and returning to it for another cleaning. This is a must if you have a multilevel home or if you have particular areas you would like the robot to focus on, for example, the kitchen floor or carpeted living room. Find a model that incorporates this technology in our recommended models along with other helpful features such as multi-room smart mapping that helps create an efficient floor plan for your home's flooring.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use only the cleaning solutions suggested for your robot. This will ensure that your robot is effectively and efficiently cleaned without damaging your floor or the warranty being canceled. You might be able find compatible cleaners at your local hardware store or online however, it's best to stick with the recommended cleaning products by the manufacturer.

Self-Emptying Mop Pads
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Robot vacuums that can mop are a cost-effective method to achieve that freshly mopped look without hiring someone. Most models that mop can also vacuum and work on carpets and hard floors. However they do have certain limitations, especially when you have a lot of dirt or very long carpets. They may also be less effective when used on certain flooring surfaces like laminate or Linoleum.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many of the robots that can mop use reusable pads that are washed and dried by the base after every cleaning. They can last up to 50 minutes before they need to be recharged and replaced. The Noesis Florio, which uses disposable pads instead of rechargeable batteries, is a rare exception. It's still an excellent choice because it can move effortlessly throughout the home. It can go around the legs of chairs, over thresholds, and even remembers the threshold after a few trips.
|

|

|
The X1 Omni is another good option for a robot vacuum that can mop, since it doesn't require an app to function. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This means you can control the robot with voice commands. It's also a little less than some of the other robots that vacuum and mop, however it lacks some of their more advanced features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One of the greatest features that it does have is a self-emptying bin for dust that drops the contents into a larger waste bin that has to be empty every 30 days or as often as. It also automatically replenishes its water tank and disposes of the cleaning pads when they're dirty, which makes it a low-maintenance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While the technology of these mop-and-vacuum combos is advancing but they're not yet good enough to replace a traditional vacuum and mop. However, if you have large areas of your home with carpet, think about getting a robotic mop-and-vacuum to keep those rooms clean and fresh. ZDNET offers a wide range of options including budget-friendly models that come with additional features that don't compromise quality.

Simple to use
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Robots with mopping capabilities are simple to operate. Most come with a user-friendly application that lets you set schedules as well as adjust the water and vacuum power, and view the status of the pads or cloths. A lot of them have an onboard video camera that will help you find pet hair or other debris that has stuck to your floor. Some models allow you to connect to a smart home assistant such as Alexa or Google Assistant and others have voice activation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some robots, like the sleek RoboVac L20 Ultra, discard their dirty mopping pads automatically and place them in an empty waste bin that is automatically emptied from a dock powered by batteries located at the base station. This is a hands-free method of controlling the machine, but it can make your floors less clean than if you manually wash and replace the pads manually. Some models, like the eufy X10 Pro Omni refill their mopping pads using a separate tank that is automatically empty by the dock.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Smart navigation features are used by many robots that mop and vacuum simultaneously. This lets them follow an established route and cover large areas quickly without snagging anything. This feature is particularly useful for rooms with furniture as it helps them avoid getting tangled up with legs or other objects. They can also provide status updates and alerts on their app, for instance, when their trash bin is full or they need to be cleaned.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The elegant RoboVac L20 Ultimate we tested was one of the models that utilized its lidar mapping system and digital keep-out zones to effectively navigate around chairs, couches and other obstacles. During our tests, it did a great job of cleaning up pet hair and other debris in hard-to-reach corners and on stairs.
|

|
|
||||||
|
Cleaning your robot regularly and using only cleaners designed for it will ensure that it will last and function properly. Vinegar, for instance, is acidic and can harm the robot's internal systems.
