Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Systems
This robot vacuum mop is a great alternative for those who live in flats, since it is able to carry the garbage away in its own bin and uses an incredibly small docking station. Its app allows you to set different modes and monitor cleaning as well as the mopping feature impresses.
Its mapping, obstacle avoidance, and mopping capabilities are impressive. It is able to pick up pet hair, spillages and dirt. It also self-empties and self-cleans and refills its water tank.
Roomba Combination from iRobot
The iRobot Combo is a robot that can vacuum and mop. It's not quite able to compete with our current Editors' Choice, the Deebot X1 Omni, which offers more cleaning power and an app that is easier to use on mobile devices however it makes for a strong alternative. In our tests it was consistently able to remove dirt of different sizes and types from carpets and hard floors. Its obstacle avoidance may not be as advanced as other systems such as LiDAR and structured light, but it still is able to avoid most collisions.
The Combo has the same features as the j7 Plus and comes with new acoustic sensors onboard to determine floor type and AI-powered navigation. However, it lacks the ability to set suction power manually. It's also smaller than the version that uses vacuum and doesn't include a self-emptying dock.
The Combo is one of my favorite options for most homes. Its elegant design is also one of the most attractive I've seen in the industry. The matte black finish is more sophisticated than the metallic or glossy finishes of many competitors. iRobot also adds some more elegant features, such as the leather tab to open 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, as well as to create Keep-Out Zones, No-Mop Zones and Clean Zones.
Roborock
Roborock, a relatively new player in the robot vacuum and mop industry has already established itself with a suite innovative cleaning technologies. Its vacuums boast industry-leading suction power, and mopping systems from the company come with vibrating mops that can scrub floors to remove dirt. You can also customize the cleaning process of the bot using a variety and mapping features.
Roborock's obstacle avoidance function allows the robot to spot objects that are smaller than its own height. This is especially helpful for the most popular Roborock models, like the Qrevo Master, which is the best in its class in terms of navigation, because of vSLAM and LiDAR. Other Robovacs are notorious for hitting furniture and run over pet faeces and faeces with no awareness but the Qrevo Master solves this problem with an AI system called Reactive that utilizes twin cameras to detect objects in the room.
Roborock robots are also equipped with several convenience features that help reduce day-to-day maintenance. These include docks that can automatically empty themselves and multi-functional mop washing stations. They can eliminate the need to manually empty bins and wash mops, making for an experience that is completely hands-free. Plus, the app's simple layout and fast connection to the robot make it easy to use.
Hobot Legee D8
Hobot Legee, with its broad variety of integrated cleaning features and advanced mopping features, is among the top robot vacuums and mops for wet and dry floors.

The smart spray system makes use of the appropriate amount of water to wash away staining without leaving ugly water marks.
The Legee is the Gen 4 Robot, competes directly against the Eufy Robovac X9 or Ecovacs Deebot T20. Both models cost more. It has more features, including a flexible D-shaped robot that can clean corners and under cabinets more efficiently than a round model. Its sensors include 360deg (3D) (Lidar Encoder Gyro and E-compass) 4 forward-facing sensors and 1 right-side-facing (IR ToF distance sensors) and 2 pairs of cliff detectors front and rear (most robots only have one pair). It also includes Legee SLAM to help reduce the bump-andgrind issues that are a problem for Gen 4 robots.
Contrary to other robots unlike other robots, the Legee features a built-in trash compactor and is compatible with the less noisy 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. The LuLu mop washing station is included and can wash, refill and dries your mop 'cloth. You can use the mop up to six-times longer than other mops. It also cuts down on the amount of waste produced and the frequency of emptying bins.
Karcher RCV 5
Karcher, known for its gardening tools and pressure washers, has been dabbling with robot vacuums for some time. This is the most technologically advanced model from the company. It creates maps for your home with LiDAR, and can be programmed to mop or vacuum. It can also tell the difference between carpets and hard floors to ensure that you don't end up with the dreaded pile of puddles.
Its navigation is top-quality that can avoid furniture and rugs effortlessly and even lifting itself up over steps. The robot can be customized by adjusting a range of settings that include cleaning schedules and the rooms it should be cleaning. It also comes with an emergency button that will oblige the robot to return to base if it runs out of power and it can also be programmed to automatically turn itself off if it is a threat of storm.
The RCV 5 is very easy to use, and despite being quite heavy at almost 4kg, you won't experience any difficulty moving it around furniture. Safety features such as a sensor warning it to stay clear of stairs are appreciated by those with small children.

It's smaller than most of the competition, and its main brush is smaller than the majority, but it was able to get the job done in a short amount of our test room with ease. The edge brush that revolves on the side is a nice feature. While it didn't remove dirt as effectively as other competitors, it did a great job.
Individual cleaning parameters can be set up for each room, and the device will automatically create detailed maps of rooms with built-in LiDAR navigation. It's easy to control via the app, and a range of voice output options can inform you about the status of your home robot. Regular software updates improve and improve the performance.
