Best Automatic Vacuum and Mop Combos
The Narwal Freo X Ultra is one of the best robot vacuums and mops I've ever tested. Its base station comes with an impressive water tank and dustbin, and its double rubber brush is less likely to cause tangles in hair than single bristles.
Its mopping efficiency is impressive and its AI mapping excels at eliminating obstacles. It is also able to stop the cleaning process, and then resume from where it left off.
- Roomba Combo j9+
The Roomba Combo j9+ is one of the most sophisticated 2-in-1 robot vacuums and mop cleaners available today. It has a sleek, self-emptying Clean Base that can store up to two mopping cycles. It is designed to look just like a desk. It's also the only robot mop we tested that comes with a water reservoir on board that automatically cleans and refills the cleaning pads after each vacuum and mopping cycle.
The mopping arm is set on top of the unit. It lowers when it senses hard surfaces, and starts to scrub. It is able to move slowly over surfaces to avoid accidentally spreading mud or wet spills on carpeted areas. It does a good job in staying out of the path of furniture, cords and other obstacles.
It's smarter than the majority of robot vacuums thanks to the iRobot Home app, which allows you to customize the settings of your cleaner, prioritize rooms by dirtiness, set schedules and cleaning times and much more. The app also offers detailed maps of your home, seasonal tips, custom cleaning routines, and smart home integrations that are intuitive.
This robot-vac and mop uses iRobot's Imprint Smart Mapping technology to recognize objects, such as sofas, counters, and tables. And it can be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to make cleaning your home hands-free.
The Roomba J9+ unlike other vacuums and mopping robots, can create the map of your home 7 times faster than previous models. It also categorizes each area in accordance with the floor type so that it will always be aware of the area you want to vacuum or mop. It also has a new Turbo Mode that boosts suction power for those tough spots. In addition, with iRobot's Dirt detective, it can learn your cleaning habits and preferences, allowing it to automatically adjust cleaning priorities and settings, like mop scrubbing motions, for the dirtiest areas of your home.

Download and launch the Yeedi App and follow the instructions on screen to connect your M12 to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you will be asked to give your robot a unique name. It is important to know that the M12 can only be used on 2.4 GHz networks only.
The M12 offers several different cleaning modes for vacuuming and mopping. Its intelligent design lets the M12 map a space in just six minutes and then adjust its cleaning route accordingly. Its advanced mopping features include two spinning pads that are electronically controlled water as well as a "True Edge Adaptive Edge Mopping System" that helps ensure thorough cleaning of all floor edges.
In terms of navigation, the M12 makes use of LiDAR, IR, and 3D structured light to avoid obstacles. Its sensors are adept at finding larger objects, such as HVAC vents and furniture. They may struggle to find smaller objects like cables or small rags. This may cause the robots to miss spots.
The M12 can also detect and navigate stairs thanks to its built-in inclinometer. It also has the ability to automatically return to its OMNI station to dry and wash mop brushes and replenish its water tanks. If the batteries are depleted, the OMNI Station can also clean itself and empty the dust bin when its batteries are empty.

It has the highest mopping capacity and a camera that can be used for improved obstacle avoidance and a powerful vacuum that has the ability to detect the carpet it is stepping on. It also has advanced intelligence and voice assistant capabilities.
It's a fantastic vacuum cleaner and mop, and can complete our 1,500 square foot test area in just 101 minutes before running out of battery and returning to its dock. Its mop washes itself in between uses, a feature that reduces the cost of maintenance and helps keep its pads clean. In addition the dock sensor that senses when the mop pad is dirty and initiates a wash cycle to keep it clean.
The S8 MaxV Ultra, like its predecessors, has an intelligent system that can detect household items such as pet waste and shoes using the combination of a camera and LIDAR. It was a great performer in our obstacle avoidance evaluation, with only one hiccup in my testing (it got stuck unwinding a ball of wool that was tangled up around its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra has a new 10,000pa worth of suction power, more than twice its predecessor. This makes it a fantastic option for homes with lots of carpeting and various kinds of flooring. The vacuum can also be set to automatically increase suction when moving over crumbs or dirt.
Similar to previous models, there are multiple docking stations that can be placed in various rooms to automate the process of cleaning and mopping. The docking station can be connected to the home plumbing system and drain and refill the tank of water when you're done.
- Dreametech X40 Ultra

It is a top suction model and can mop hard floors with incredible ease. It also comes with many advanced features, such as self-detangling roller brushes and auto-extending mop heads that make it an excellent choice for hands-off cleaning. The X40 Ultra offers automatic cleaning of its base station as well as a dust collector filter. The mop pads will be automatically drained and cleaned in hot water. After each cleaning session, the water tank will also be emptied automatically.
It provides advanced options to tailor the cleaning schedule. For instance, you can choose an exact start and stop time for each cycle or whether it should clean carpets first before mopping. It can also be instructed to clean areas that are particularly filthy and then increase the suction power around litter boxes for cats as well as pet food bowls. The X40 Ultra is programmable to perform specific tasks, like cleaning a kitchen sink or bathroom toilet. It can also be set to automatically raise its front side brush when it spots wet areas and to clean debris from baseboards and corners.
The X40 Ultra has a simple, intuitive app with various features. It is simple to use and set up. It is quieter than most corded vacuums. The only sound is the occasional low hum from its motor, and the occasional bursts of sucking when cleaning. Its navigation system, which makes use of a camera and 3D structured lights, multiple lasers, and a 3D structured light to detect and avoid obstructions and obstacles, is impressive. This makes the X40 Ultra receive one of the highest scores in our tests for obstacle avoidance.
- Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro has been designed as an efficient mop and vacuum combo that is also user-friendly. The gunmetal base station automatically fills its own tank of clean water, empties the dust bin into a smaller bin and washes and dries its own mop pads in between cleaning sessions. It comes with advanced features that let it switch between hard and carpet surfaces, remove pet hair from carpets, and clean thresholds for rooms that are raised.
The S1 Pro has excellent navigation and mapping, thanks to its internal dToF system. It can keep an unobtrusive appearance while providing excellent object detection. It can drive close to walls and avoid steps without crashing. It also raises the mop when driving on short-pile carpets. However, it did struggle with carpets with a longer pile and also some long, thick messes of dried-on debris.
The S1 Pro is ready to start right out of the box, and it only needs an easy mapping session to get to know your home. Once it's done, the map is displayed in the app and rooms can be added or joined as needed. You can also set virtual boundaries as well as no-go zones or no-mop zones in case there's something you don't want your robot to get into.
The S1 Pro is a great choice for homes with both types of flooring, since it has the ability to mop and vacuum. However the fact that it relies on an Eufy-branded cleaning product (which is included in the box) makes it less flexible than other robots that let you add your own solutions. Its ability to mop and vacuum makes it a good option for homes that have different types of flooring however, its reliance on a Eufy-branded cleaning product (which is included in the box) could make it less flexible than some other robots that allow you add your own solutions.
