Best Self-Expelling Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

We suggest getting a robot mop and a vacuum that comes with an easy-to-use base station. This makes it easier to wash or replace cleaning pads as well as empty and clean the soiled water tank.

Look into a model that has Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can map your home and set automated or scheduled timers. You can also use features like vacuum switch or mop.

1. Roborock S7 Max Ultra

This powerful robot mop and vacuum is a true workhorse. It cleans your floors, recognizes rug rugs, and then self-empties its own water and top 10 dust tanks. It is equipped with a powerful suction, and can even dispensing detergent. However, all this functionality comes at a hefty price of $1200. It's also the most expensive robot vacuum and mop package I've ever seen.

In the box The S7 Max Ultra is very easy to set up. Once you plug it into the wall it will ask you to map your home using sensors. It will continue to use that information to avoid obstacles. In our tests, it stayed clear of getting caught in power cords and long curtains as well as dog toys. It's not perfect, however, and occasionally encountered obstacles such as tangled wires or the odd book or toy.

The S7 Max Ultra can be operated via its smartphone app. This is where you will find all of the advanced features that set it apart from other robot vacuums and mops. These include room-specific cleaning and mopping settings, a time planner, mopping and vacuuming power strength selections, and integrations with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for smart home integration. Its extensive feature set means the S7 Max Ultra can do almost everything a traditional robot vacuum with self emptying vacuum does, but at only a fraction of the cost.

The S7 Max Ultra vacuuming is amazing. It did a fantastic job at removing pet fur, dirt, and other debris, both on carpet and hard floors. The automatic dustbin emptying feature was flawless in our tests. This was very reassuring. It also boasts 5100 Pa HyperForce power, which is significantly higher than the 2,500Pa power of the S6MaxV and S7.

The S7 Max Ultra mopping performance was also excellent but not the most efficient. It utilized an exclusive microfiber mop pad that absorbs 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 a speed of 180 revolutions per minute. The S7 Max Ultra's ReactiveAI 2.0 obstruction recognition system is excellent. In our tests, it didn't get stuck on anything, and it avoided curtains, power cords and other obstructions that could be a problem all the time.

2. Narwal Freo

It is something that is shunned by many, yet it is vital to keep your home clean. It's a messy, often stinky job that is difficult to finish, since it requires dustbins, dirty water and the necessity to ensure that hair or debris isn't clogging traps or brushes. Robots that vacuum and mop have become very popular. A lot of these machines require you to empty the dustbin, and wash and rinse the mop pads manually. This can be a hassle, especially if it's necessary to do this repeatedly during or after cleaning sessions. We're pleased to learn that some manufacturers are introducing self-emptying robots to make this process much easier.

The Narwal Freo is the latest version of this class of robotic cleaners and it comes with a host of new software, sensor and hardware enhancements designed to keep it at the top 10 of its class. This includes the patented DirtSense technology as well as the Smart-Swing feature, which both help to detect the surface being cleaned and automatically alters the cleaning mode based on the kind of flooring it is. The Freo also monitors the level of dirtiness and automatically washes mop once it is full, which improves the effectiveness of subsequent cleaning sessions by not 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 its base station in addition to using the smartphone app. This is the first robot vacuum and mop combo to have this feature. It's a welcome addition for those who don't wish to use the app. You can even alter the routing in the middle of the session using the LCD screen controls.

The Narwal Freo also does a decent job of keeping its noise down when it is working and registering just 63dB when it is in suction mode. However, maintaining the Freo isn't completely hands-free as you will need to periodically clean various components like 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 vacuum and mop combinations on the market. It is capable of mapping your home, cleaning and mopping, while finding and staying clear of obstacles. It can even spew out an air freshener which is a cool feature.

It is easy to set up, utilizing the app to build an accurate map of your home, which it uses while cleaning. Then, you can make use of the app to choose certain rooms or specific areas to clean. You can also select the time you'd like it start cleaning, so that 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. However, it did have the tendency to take a few errands around the house, which usually resulted in it ending up back at the same place it had started cleaning a few minutes earlier. This didn't happen often however it was enough to be noticeable and something worth noting down.

The T9+ includes a wide range of accessories, including the robotic cleaner, a docking station, and an auto-empty station. The mopping unit and the dust bin replacement are available separately.

The new navigation and mapping as well as obstacle detection systems are designed to keep your home tidy without interruptions. The upgraded 3D obstacle detection and avoidance technology recognizes objects in high-precision to avoid collisions, entanglements or disruptions.

The Deebot T9+ can sweep, vacuum and mop simultaneously. Your floor will look like it did when you first purchased it. The disposable mopping pad is easy to put on and the microfiber fabric effectively traps dust and blocks away stains, leaving no residue. The large volume 2.5L auto-empty station holds up to 30 days of debris without leaks, making it simple to keep your home clean with little effort. The T9+ features an upgraded 3000Pa motor which delivers powerful suction for a thorough clean.

4. iRobot Combo j7+

The iRobot Combo j7+ is a great robot for cleaning floors. It's a vacuum and mop in one. It has excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. It can map your clean and top 10 tidy areas without bumping into walls or furniture. The app lets you define zones to indicate areas that must be cleaned and areas you don't want it to be cleaned. You can also set up zones for no-mop or no-sweep zones.

iRobot’s iAdapt technology 2.0 is an integral element that makes Combo j7+ smart. The front camera of the majority of the robots from iRobot is used to prevent dangers like pet waste and power cords. Additionally the iAdapt 2.0 allows the Combo j7+ to identify dirt levels and target these areas more than other.

When the Combo j7+ detects that it's on a floor that requires mopping then a tiny robot arm equipped with mop pads is lifted from under the vacuum. Then, it mops the floor until the mopping pad is dry which takes only 90 minutes.

The Combo j7+ is also able to sense carpeting, which is a nice feature for homes that have carpeting and rugs. It will not try to push the rug through and instead, it will turn away if it feels it is not able to traverse the area without damaging the carpet or damaging itself.

The Combo J7+ is simple to control using the mobile application it is simple and well-designed. It is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa which means you can start cleaning with voice. The only drawback I could find was that the Combo j7+'s small water tank means that you need to replenish it frequently or limit its mopping to smaller areas, and run it in eco-mode more frequently.

The Combo J7+ comes with small dust bins that you must empty manually. I also found the Combo j7+'s mop pads to be less effective than those of other brands and that's a shame as it's a great combination robot.
