Best Self-Expelling Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
We recommend purchasing a robotic mop and a vacuum that comes with a user-friendly base station. This allows you to wash or replace cleaning pads as well as empty and clean the water tank.
Look into a model that has Wi-Fi connectivity so you can map your home and set up automatic or set timers. You can also utilize features such as vacuum and mop switches.
1. Roborock S7 Max Ultra
This powerful robot mop and vacuum is a true powerhouse. It cleans floors, detects rug rugs, and then automatically empty its own dustbin and water tanks. self emptying robot vacuums is equipped with a powerful suction, and even dispensing detergent. However, all this functionality is priced at a high price tag of $1,200. It's the most expensive robotic vacuum and mop set I've ever reviewed.
The S7 Max Ultra is easy to install right out from the box. When you plug it into the wall it will instruct you to map your home with sensors. It will continue to use that data to avoid obstacles. In our tests, it stayed clear of getting caught up in power cords, long curtains, and even dog toys. It's not perfect and there are times when it gets stuck on things such as unruly toys, tangled cables or books.
The S7 Max Ultra can be controlled by its smartphone app. This is where you will find all the sophisticated features which set it apart from other robot vacuums and mop cleaners. These include room-specific cleaning and mopping settings, a schedule planner mopping and vacuuming power strength selections, and integrations with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for smart home integration. The S7 Max Ultra's vast feature set lets it accomplish everything a standard robot can do and more, but for a fraction of the cost.
The S7 Max Ultra's ability to vacuum is impressive and it did a very great job of picking up pet hair, dirt, and other debris from carpet and hard flooring. Its automatic dust bin-emptying feature performed perfectly during our tests, which was and reassuring. It also boasts a 5100 Pa HyperForce suction rating, which is significantly higher than the 2,500Pa performance of the S6 MaxV and S7.
The S7 Max Ultra mopping performance was also excellent, but not the best. It used microfiber mops that absorb liquids, and sonic vibration technology to scrub floors as high as 3000 revolutions per minute. This was faster than the X1 Omni circular pads, which rotate at 180 rotations per minute. The S7 Max Ultra's ReactiveAI 2.0 obstruction recognition system is extremely effective. In our tests it didn't snag on any objects, and it avoided power cords, long curtains and other potential obstacles 100% of the time.
2. Narwal Freo
Vaccuming and mopping your floors is one of those chores that we all hate, but are essential for maintaining a tidy home. It is also a messy and frequently unpleasant task that can be a challenge to accomplish since it requires handling dirty water and dustbins, and ensuring that hair or debris doesn't clog the brushes or traps. Robots that mop and vacuum have become extremely popular. However, many of these machines still require you to manually empty the dust bin and wash and wash mop pads. This can be a hassle, particularly if you have to do this several times in between cleaning sessions. This is why we're pleased to learn that a variety of companies are introducing self-emptying robots that make the whole process much simpler.
The Narwal Freo is the latest addition to this category of robotic cleaners and it is equipped with a variety of brand new software, sensors and hardware enhancements designed to keep it at the top of its game. This includes the patented DirtSense technology and Smart-Swing feature, which both help to detect the surface being cleaned and automatically adjusts the cleaning mode depending on what type of floor it is. The Freo also detects levels of dirtiness and automatically washes its mops once they are full, which increases the effectiveness of subsequent cleaning sessions by preventing returning to areas with stains.
The Freo is also a step up from its predecessor in that it is controlled directly by the LCD touchscreen at its base station. This is in addition to the smartphone app. This is the first robot vacuum and mop combination to have this feature. It's a nice addition if you don't want to use the app. You can even adjust the routing mid-session with the controls on the LCD screen and ensure that the robot is doing what you want it to accomplish.
The Narwal Freo also does a decent job of keeping its noise level low when it's in use, coming in at only 63dB when it is in suction mode. Despite this, maintenance on the Freo isn't completely hands-free as you will need to periodically 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 most self-emptying robot vacuum and mop combos available on the market. It can map the area of your home, vacuuming and mopping, while also spotting and avoid obstacles. It can even spew out an air freshener which is a nice touch.
It's simple to set up, utilizing the app to create a precise map of your home that it utilizes while cleaning. The app lets you select certain rooms or areas to be cleaned. You can also select the time you'd like it to start working, so your floors are kept clean even when you're asleep or away.
In our tests, we observed the T9+ to be exceptionally adept at navigating obstacles. It is known to take a somewhat erratic route around the house. This usually meant that it ended up in the same place it had started cleaning few minutes earlier. It wasn't often, but it was enough to be noticeable and something worth taking note of.
The T9+ comes with a variety of accessories, including the robot cleaner, docking station and an automatic emptying station. The mopping module as well as a replacement dust bin are available separately.
The new navigation mapping, mapping, and obstacle detection systems are designed to ensure your home is clean without interruptions. The updated 3D detection and obstacle avoidance technology detects objects with high-precision resolution to avoid collisions and entanglements, or even disruptions.
The Deebot T9+ can sweep and vacuum at the same time. Your floor will look like it did when you first purchased it. The disposable mopping pads are easy to put on, and the microfiber cloth effectively absorbs dust, seals away stains, and doesn't leave any residue. The huge volume 2.5L auto-empty station holds up to 30 days of debris, without leaks, making it simple to keep your home clean with minimal effort. The T9+ comes with an upgraded 3000Pa motor which delivers powerful suction to achieve a thorough clean.
4. iRobot Combo j7+
The iRobot Combo j7+ robot is a great option for cleaning 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 smashing into furniture or walls. It's also simple to use the app to designate zones that need to be cleaned or those you'd like to keep clear of as well as create specific no-mop or no-sweep areas.
IRobot's innovative iAdapt 2.0 technology is a major element of what makes the Combo j7+ so smart. The front camera on most of the robots from iRobot is used to prevent hazards such as 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+ is aware that it's on a floor that needs to be mopped and a small robot arm equipped with mop pads lifts from beneath the vacuum. Then, it mops the floor until the mopping pad is dry which takes about 90 minutes.
The Combo J7+ is able to detect carpeting, too. This is great for homes with carpeting and carpets. It isn't trying to push through the rug, and will instead back away if it thinks it can't make it over the area without damaging itself or the carpeting.
The Combo j7+ is easy to control via the mobile application, which is intuitive and well-designed. It also integrates with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa which means you can tell it to start cleaning with a voice. The only downside I found was that the Combo j7+'s tiny water tank means you'll need to refill it frequently or limit the mopping to smaller areas and use eco-mode more frequently.
Another downside is that the Combo J7+'s dust container is small, and you have to empty it manually. The Combo mop pads are also less effective than other brands. This is a pity as this robot is otherwise a great machine.
