Best Self-Expelling Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
If you're looking for a robot mop and vacuum cleaner that is easy to installation and maintenance, we suggest purchasing one with a an easy base station. This makes it easy to change or wash cleaning pads and emptying the water tank with dirty water.
Also consider a model that connects to Wi-Fi so you can set automatic or set run times and map your home and utilize mop/vacuum switching features.
1. Roborock S7 Max Ultra
This high-powered robot vacuum and mop does a lot of work. It cleans your floors, detects carpets, and automatically empty its own water and dust tanks. It has a powerful suction, and even dispensing detergent. However, all that functionality comes at a hefty price tag of $1,200. It's the most expensive robot vacuum and mop set I've reviewed so far.
The S7 Max Ultra is easy to install right out from the box. 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 avoid obstacles. During our tests, it avoided getting caught on power cords, long curtains, and even dog toys. It's not perfect, however, and sometimes ran into obstacles like tangled wires or some odd book or toy.
The S7 Max Ultra can be controlled by its smartphone app. This is where you will discover all the advanced features that distinguish it from other robot vacuums and mops. There are room-specific cleaning settings and mopping options along with a planner for scheduling and power strength options for mopping and vacuuming. It is also possible to integrate the S7 Max Ultra with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to create a smart home. The S7 Max Ultra's comprehensive feature set lets it perform all the things a standard robot would do, but at a fraction the cost.
The S7 Max Ultra's ability to vacuum is impressive and it did a very great job of picking up dirt, pet hair, and other debris from carpet and hard flooring. Its automatic dustbin-emptying feature worked flawlessly during our tests, which was comforting. It also boasts 5100 Pa HyperForce power which is significantly more than the 2,500Pa of S6MaxV and S7.
The S7 Max Ultra mopping performance was also satisfactory, but not the best. It was equipped with the special microfiber mop pad that sucks up liquids and utilizes sonic vibration technology to scrub your floors up to 3000 times per minute, which was a bit faster than the X1 Omni's circular pads, which spin at 180 revolutions per minute. The S7 Max Ultra's ReactiveAI 2.0 obstacle recognition system was excellent. In our tests, it never got stuck on anything and avoided power cords, curtains and other potential obstructions 100% of the time.
2. Narwal Freo
It's an activity that is hated by many, yet it is necessary to keep your home clean. It's a messy and often smelly job that is difficult to finish, since it involves dirty water, dustbins and the necessity of making sure that hair or debris does not clog traps or brushes. Robots that mop and vacuum have become extremely popular. However, a lot of these products still require users to manually empty the dust bin and wash and wash the mop pads. This is a hassle particularly if you have to do this several times during or after cleaning sessions. We're glad to see that a lot of manufacturers are introducing self-emptying robots to make the whole process much simpler.
The Narwal Freo, the newest version of the robotic cleaner category is equipped with a variety of enhancements to sensors, software and hardware designed to keep it at the top of its game. This includes the patented DirtSense technology as well as the Smart-Swing feature, both of which assist in detecting the floor surface being cleaned and automatically alters the cleaning mode based on the kind of floor it is. The Freo also detects levels of dirtiness and automatically cleans its mops once they are full, which enhances the effectiveness of subsequent cleaning sessions by preventing returning to areas with stains.
Another significant improvement that the Freo has over its predecessor is the ability to directly pilot it via an LCD touchscreen on the base station, in addition to using the app for smartphones. This is a first in a robot vacuum and mop combination and is definitely a welcomed alternative if you'd prefer to avoid the hassle of using the app. You can also alter the routing during the session using the LCD screen controls.
The Narwal Freo also does a decent job of keeping its noise lower when it's working and registering just 63dB when it is in suction mode. However, maintaining the Freo isn't completely hands-free 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+ (available at The Good Guys for $1279) is among the best self-emptying robot vacuums and mop combos on the market. It can map your home, vacuum and mop while avoiding obstacles. It can even emit an air freshener which is a neat touch.
The app generates a map of your home that can be used to clean. It's simple to set up. Then, this contact form can make use of the app to choose certain rooms or specific areas to clean. You can also select the time that you want to begin cleaning, to ensure that your floors are cleaned even when you're asleep or away.
In our tests during our tests, the T9+ was awe-inspiring in its ability to navigate obstacles. However, it has a tendency to take slightly erratic routes around the house, which usually resulted in it ending up back at the same location it had begun cleaning just minutes earlier. This didn't happen often but it was noticeable enough to be noticed, and something worth keeping in mind.
The T9+ comes with a full range of accessories that include the robotic cleaner, a docking station, and an auto-empty station. The mopping unit and the dust bin replacement are available separately.
Its enhanced navigation systems mapping, obstacle detection and mapping are designed to guarantee a clean tidy home without interruptions. The upgraded 3D detection and obstacle avoidance technology recognises objects with high-precision resolutions to prevent collisions or disturbances.
The Deebot T9+ is capable of sweeping, vacuuming and mopping at the same time, leaving your floor looking clean as new. The disposable mopping pads are easy to put on, and the microfiber cloth efficiently absorbs dust, seals away stains, and doesn't leave residue. The huge volume 2.5L auto-empty station holds up to 30 days of debris, without leaks, making it easy to keep your home clean with minimal effort. The T9+ has an upgraded 3000Pa motor that delivers powerful suction for an efficient cleaning.
4. iRobot Combo j7+
The iRobot Combo j7+ is a great robot to clean floors. It's a mop and a vacuum, all in one, and it also has obstacle avoidance and home navigation. This lets it map your house and clean areas, without crashing into walls or furniture. It's also easy to use the app to create zones that need to be cleaned or ones that you would like to avoid as well as set up specific no-mop or no-sweep boundaries.
IRobot's innovative iAdapt 2.0 technology is a significant component of what makes the Combo j7+ so smart. The front camera on most of the robots made by iRobot is used to avoid dangers like pet waste and power cords. iAdapt 2.0 also allows the Combo J7+ robot to detect dirt levels and focus more on those areas.
When the Combo J7+ detects it is on a surface which requires mopping, a robot arm with a mop pads lifts from beneath the vacuum. It then sweeps the floor until it is aware that mopping pads are dry, which only takes about 90 seconds.
The Combo J7+ is able to sense carpeting, too. This is ideal for homes that have carpeting and rugs. It won't try to push the rug through and instead, it will turn away if the device feels it is not able to traverse the space without damaging the carpet or damaging itself.
I was able to control the Combo j7+ from the mobile application, which is intuitive and well designed. It works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa so you can start a cleaning by voice. The only downside I found was that the Combo j7+'s smaller water tank means that you need to refill it frequently or limit its cleaning to smaller areas and use eco-mode more often.
The Combo J7+ comes with a tiny dust bin that you have to empty manually. I also discovered that the Combo j7+'s mop pads be less effective than those of other brands and that's a shame as it's a great combination robot.
