Top 7 || Best Robot Vacuum and Mop

Even though it’s a very important job – especially in bathrooms and kitchens – not many people really enjoy scrubbing floors. Imagine having something that will do it for you without complaining and that doesn’t require buckets of water, a dirty mop, an exhausting strain on your back, or worse, kneeling down? We are entering the world of mopping robots.

Like their robotic vacuum cleaners, few robotic mops clean deeply, but they can add an extra level of cleaning to your routine and reduce the number of times you need to do a deep cleaning session. The Good Housekeeping Institute’s Household and Cleaning Products Laboratory evaluates hundreds of products each year, including specialized floor cleaners such as mops and robotic vacuum cleaners. This means we know what really works and what doesn’t when it comes to cleaning.

When we test any wet floor cleaning tool, we evaluate how well it collects dry contaminants that we have applied to the test floor panels installed in our Cleanliness Laboratory. We also look at the ease of use and maintenance and the amount of water it leaves on wooden, vinyl, and tiled floors to assess any damage. The robotic mops listed below were selected based on brand-specific experiences, review of product information, online consumer reviews and videos, and interviews with manufacturers.

Complete Review of The Best Vacuum and Mopping Robot

1. iRobot Braava jet m6 Ultimate Robot Mop

If you’re looking for an intelligent multi-surface cleaning mop in almost your home, take a look at the iRobot Braava jet m6. The iRobot vacuum cleaners always perform well in GH Cleaning Lab testing, and the early version we tested was no exception. This robot mop comes with two types of wet wipe pads and dry sweeping pads  – disposable and reusable. Hot water is dispensed through an adjustable spray nozzle to moisten the dirt and debris before one of the wet pads removes the dirt from your hard floors.

To pick up pet hair and dust, run your Braava jet m6 in dry sweeping mode before wet moping to let the electrostatic pad pick up debris. Braava knows enough not to spray water when a dry sweeping pad is installed, and with Smart Mapping technology learns the most effective way to clean your home, even on multiple levels. The mapping accuracy of the Braava jet m6 increases the more it cleans, and the app lets you choose which rooms to clean and skip, schedule your out-of-home cleaning, and arrange overlapping runs for deeper cleanups.

The square design allows Braava jet m6 to reach deep into corners and mop along baseboards. When the battery needs charging or the water tank needs refilling, Braava returns to the docking station and resumes cleaning when it’s ready to go. The Braava jet m6 can clean up to 1,000 square feet on a single charge. After cleaning, simply throw the soiled pad into the trash or wash the reusable ones in the washing machine and air dry.

2. SAMSUNG Electronics Jetbot Robotic Cleaner

Samsung’s JetBot with dual pads covers twice as much ground as other robot mops in a single swipe. It comes with two sets of microfibre pads, one for dry scrubbing and the other for wet cleaning. Simply fill the reservoirs above each pad with tap water to keep the revolving pads constantly moist while it cleans.

You can choose from eight different brushing modes and patterns to tackle edges, focus on dirty spots, brush randomly, and much more. The sleek JetBop is easy to store and there’s even a handheld stand for using it on stairs and other surfaces above the floor.

At this great price, it comes with remote control and a drip tray, but it’s not as sophisticated as some we’ve seen. You have to shield places you don’t want him to go and he doesn’t feel right when he’s done cleaning. Each charge provides up to 100 minutes of run time, so in our testing, we were able to clean a vinyl kitchen floor and a ceramic tile hallway and hallway with time to spare. And the dirty pads came out of the wash like new!

3.  ECOVACS Deebot T8 AIVI Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The latest offering from Ecovacs, the Deebot OZMO T8, ticks all the boxes for an ideal robot vacuum and mop, plus it includes peace of mind. Sophisticated encrypted HD live streaming lets you keep an eye on what’s going on while you’re away, so not only can you see when Fido jumps on the couch, but voice technology now lets you stop him on his way.

From one of the top brands in our recent robot vacuum test, the Ozmo T8 has improved its obstacle detection, making it less critical that you pick up toys, shoes, and even cables before commanding the robot to go to work. . A more accurate mapping of multiple floors makes it efficient in cleaning your home.

When the water tank and mop are installed, the Ozmo T8 knows to vacuum and scrub simultaneously. Water is filtered through the mop to moisten the floors, but only after the dirt is sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. It can identify the mat, and it will not enter it if the Ozmo T8 is in mop mode. If your carpet needs to be cleaned, you will need to detach the scrub pad first.

4. iRobot 240 Braava Robot Mop

This inexpensive cutie is ideal for small spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. At just 7 inches square and less than 3.5 inches tall, the iRobot Braava jet 240 can easily maneuver around toilets and under cabinets, something we observed in GH Cleaning Lab tests of a previous model. Sweep dry first to pick up lint, dust, and hair before mopping wet or wet for more intensive cleaning. Add hot water or iRobot Hard Floor Care cleaning solution to the reservoir. And don’t worry: even if you have water in the tank, the dry sweeping pad won’t spray water.

The different pads for the different cleaning modes slide under the robot – you can choose either disposable or reusable pads, which makes it even more economical. When finished, a button releases the disposable pad to throw it away or releases the reusable one to put it in the washing machine.

The Braava jet 240 cleans in rack mode, using bump navigation to maneuver around bathroom and toilet pedestals, chair legs, and other obstacles, and can cover about 60 square meters before the removable battery needs load. It takes about an hour to recharge. The mop syncs with the iRobot app via Bluetooth, allowing you to set up zone cleaning, start and stop the robot, check battery life, adjust the volume of the water jet, and even set a virtual limit. When you’re done, it’s small enough to live under the kitchen sink, even on its side.

5. ECOVACS Deebot OZMO T5 Robot Vacuum and Mop

This combination of vacuum cleaner and mop is particularly clever. The carpet detection technology of the Deebot OZMO T5 not only increases the suction power when vacuuming carpets but also prevents wet wiping on the carpet. And for even more security, thanks to the Wi-Fi connection and the multi-level mapping function, you can set virtual boundaries that prevent the OZMO T5 from driving on your carpet in mopping mode.

In our last test of vacuum cleaner robots, the Deebot Ozmo scored with its great suction power and the ease with which it vacuumed dirt from carpets and hard floors. The Ozmo T5 has a long operating time: the battery lasts over 3 hours. When the battery is empty, it returns to the charging station to recharge and continues cleaning where it left off.

As with other combined vacuum cleaners and mopping robots, you simply fill the water tank and attach a mopping pad to wipe. The water seeps through the pad (you can control the flow rate via the app) and the damp pad cleans your vacuumed hard floors. The app also lets you set up cleaning sessions by selecting days, rooms, and floors, and the robot vacuum and mop can also be activated remotely.

6. Roborock S6 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop

This sleek robot (available in three colors, including white) is a vacuum cleaner and mop in one, keeping your hard floors clean quickly while you are busy with other things. The Roborock S6 creates a map of your home while it is cleaning, and thanks to the Wi-Fi connection to its app, you can easily schedule a cleaning session for your whole house or just one or two rooms. The S6 knows where it is cleaned and where it has been. In our most recent test of vacuum cleaning robots, it was super easy to set up too.

When the battery is low, the S6 returns to its dock to charge before picking up where it left off, and it can clean in sleep mode for up to 3 hours. At 56bD it is the quietest combination of vacuum cleaner robot and mop that we have found. The S6 can vacuum and mop at the same time, but it cannot distinguish between carpet and hard floor, so you have to protect your carpet by setting up virtual barriers via the app. You can choose a washable microfiber pad or disposable mops to make cleaning a breeze and adjust the water flow through the pad.

7. Eufy RoboVac L70 Hybrid 2-in-1 Vacuum and Mop

Eufy’s L70 hybrid vacuum and floor mopping robot use laser navigation and real-time mapping to find the most efficient route to clean your home. The L70 vacuums up dirt and debris, while its carpet detection feature not only increases suction power to clean carpets more thoroughly but also helps the L70 avoid carpets that it might bump into while mopping. To calm yourself down, you can also use the app to set wiping restrictions for areas that Eufy should not enter. You can also use the app to create cleaning plans, select certain rooms for cleaning, activate stain or pure wipe cleaning, and set the desired suction power and wiping flow.

With the mopping module installed, the L70 knows to mop and vacuum. A practical waterproof mat attached to the charging station protects your floor from drops until you can remove the mopping module and pad. An added bonus is the washable filters, which do not need to be replaced as often. The reviewers raved about how powerful the vacuum cleaner is and how easy it is to empty the dirt bin after each cleaning. At just over 4 inches tall, it’s taller than most of the others, but good value for money considering what it has to offer.

Is a mopping robot worth it?

Yes, especially for families with pets or young children, or for anyone who wants to keep their floors cleaner than they have the time or energy to devote. Most mopping robots are capable of going under low furniture and can clean in corners and along edges, but they work best if you scoop up and straighten the space before you start mopping: Like your Vacuuming counterparts, mopping robots can get stuck in small obstacles and get confused in rooms cluttered with furniture.

Just like using a standard mop and bucket, you need to vacuum or sweep up lint and dust first. You will still have to manually clean up large spills: Very heavy dirt can be a bit difficult for them to handle, but a robot mop saves time and helps prevent dirt from accumulating, so you will have to do deep cleanings that require less work and time.

What to look for when a robotic mop buying

First, you need to choose from three types of robotic mops – wet mops, dry-sweeping mops, and vacuum mops. Wet mops pour water onto the floor to get rid of the dirt and then wipe the dirty liquid. Very few of them suck in dirty water. Others, which combine vacuuming or sweeping with mopping, use damp disposable or reusable microfiber pads to wet hard floors.

Battery life. Look for batteries that will last for at least 90 minutes. If you have more space to clean, look for robotic mops that recharge and resume work by returning to where they left off the cleaning after charging to finish the job.

Easy setup and maintenance. The easier the better when it comes to loading your mop, filling and emptying the water tank, removing or replacing cleaning pads, and setting it up for one-off or regular cleaning.

Safety for floor surfaces. If your home has a predominance of hardwood floors, make sure the robotic mop you choose is designed to clean these types of surfaces. All robotic mops are safe for vinyl floors and ceramic tiles.

Floor and carpet sensors. If you have a mixture of carpets and wood floors, choose a robotic mop that can tell the difference. Some robotic mops have mapping features that allow you to select only specific areas to clean.

Integration with applications. This is helpful if you want to see what your robot is doing, access maintenance issues, or schedule cleaning sessions in advance or while you are away. You can also set prohibition zones that shouldn’t be cleaned up via the app, instead of manually blocking the space.
