Best Robot Vacuum and Mop With Self-Empting Bases

Self-emptying bases make robotic vacuums worth the price, especially for homes with a large footprint. This means that you don't have to empty the bin multiple times during a run and it will run more frequently and keeps your floors tidy.

Its Lidar navigation system does a fantastic job of mapping and you can make use of the app to set zones and cleaning schedules. But it didn't avoid obstacles like furniture legs, as well as the j7 and Q Revo.

1. iRobot Combo J7+

The Combo J7+ robot vacuum and mop is the first iRobot. It is a re-imagining of the iRobot j7 robotic vacuum and adds a tiny reservoir of water, a robotic arm that can raise and lower mopping pads, as well as some new sensors. The result is a powerful two-in-one cleaner, which we found superior to mopping-free robotic vacuums.

The Combo j7+ doesn't have the additional smart mopping features that we have in our top pick, however it does a great job of cleaning. It has a powerful brush roll that can be used on both hard floors and carpeted rooms. It's able to effortlessly slide between rugs and furniture even on staircases that are steep. And it has a strong suction that we were very impressed with, even though it's not as powerful as the iRobot Roomba 694's.

The Combo j7+ is distinguished from other robot vacuums due to its mopping feature, which uses an oscillating brush to scrub floors. SmartScrub is the feature iRobot refers to, and it is akin to the way a mop would scrub floors. The iRobot App lets you enable it on an individual basis for each room.

The j7 Plus is simple to use and set up just like other iRobot Robots. It's also easy to maintain. The dust bin as well as the water tank can be removed for easy cleaning. The iRobot App allows you to watch instructional videos that demonstrate how to maintain the various components of the machine. For instance, replacing the mopping pad, or filtering the water tank.

The only real drawback is that the iRobot Combo J7+ only mops if it has a mopping pad attached and its 210ml water tank is filled. It will only vacuum when one of these are missing. You can easily monitor the tank's water level via the iRobot app, and when it is empty you'll receive an alert to refill it.

2. Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is a sturdy budget-friendly robot that's ideal for mopping and vacuuming. Its mopping performance is impressive, especially considering the price. It can be used to mop carpets and hard floors and picks up fine to large debris (think hair tangles, cereal, kitty litter of all sizes). It is also great at cleaning up dried spills, messes and staining. It also cleans stairs and easy-to get-stuck areas well.

The mopping system utilizes rotating pads to scrub your floors and remove dirt and grime even from stuck-on areas. The pad also completely dries with 45 minutes of warm air after each cleaning, preventing mold and unpleasant odors. You can easily control the robot with the Roborock application or make use of your voice to get your mopping started, change settings, and more.

Its vacuuming performance is top-quality and the suction is also top-quality. It has an impressive vacuum and a high-efficiency filter which is able to capture all types of debris, from small to large. The only issue is that it doesn’t work as well on carpet with pet hair. Ten percent of pet hair remained on our test surface after two cycles at maximum power, which isn't unusual in the world of vacuuming.

The Q Revo is a great product, with its excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. It also has excellent cleaning and mopping capabilities. It's not as great as the higher-end robot vacuum and mop, however, it's a great choice for anyone with a limited budget. It can charge up to 30% faster than its predecessors and works with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri Shortcuts. This provides a lot more convenience at a low cost. For more information and to decide if the Roborock Q Revo is the right choice for you, take a look at our full review.

3. Yeedi Cube

The Yeedi Cube is a vacuum mop robot that operates well and offers great features at a very reasonable price. The set-up was simple and took only five minutes. After taking off the manufacturing tape and protective plastic, a quick scan of the QR code in the app starts you off. The app is simple and guides you through the process easily. Once it is set up, you are able to start mapping and cleaning.

The app lets you customise your home layout and design maps that the robot will follow. The app lets you split rooms into smaller parts so that they can be targeted more precisely. For instance, you can make a map for the kitchen area and another for the living room and let the robot sweep the floors in each room at different times.

In comparison to other robots I've tested The Yeedi Cube has a unique design that gives it an industrial look. Its base station is more modular than the others and features a dirty water tank and auto-empty feature on one side, and the vacuum on the other. The reusable mop pads are also separate. They are inserted into the top of robot and are connected to a handle in the front, making it easy to remove and refill.

The vacuum performs as well as any other robot I've tried and comes with two brushes instead of the single one in the majority of models. This improves the coverage area, and reduces the chance of debris getting lost around walls and furniture. It isn't perfect in recognition of objects and can be a target for objects such as the carpet with tassels in my office.

4. iRobot Braava Jet m6

The iRobot Braava Jet m6 robot mop is an excellent option to maintain your flooring. It does an excellent job and will keep them looking great. It can't do the vacuuming tasks of other hybrids listed here and does not transition to carpet or rugs like they do, however it comes with a long battery life, smart mopping features and is a good option for keeping your floors clean in a smaller to mid-sized home.

It can be utilized in dry sweeping mode, sweeping up to 1,000 sq. ft. on a single battery charge. It can also map your floor plan using the iRobot app and clean rooms in sequence with compatible Roomba vacuums.

In wet mopping, the m6 uses precise sprays to dampen the floors in straight lines. It was fascinating to watch, and it was able to eliminate even the most difficult dried-in coffee and juice stains from my floors. It is possible to set it up to use less water or greater than the maximum amount allowed by the app.

The iRobot application is among the best on the market and allows you to sync with your home wifi easy. It offers a number of user-friendly functions like scheduling, partitioning rooms, and establishing no-go zones. This gives you total control over the machine. It also lets you see the remaining battery power to give you an accurate estimate of how much time it has left before needing to be docked and recharged. The m6 is available from My Robot Centre in the UK for PS499, the iRobot store in the US for $399 and at Amazon (where it's currently being sold for $399). It's available in graphite and white.

5. Shark RV2610WA

The cost of robotic vacuum and mop cleaners is a major issue. They are easy to use, but expensive. The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base which we reviewed here costs $699 / PS559 / around $1054. If you don't want the charging base, it will still cost $549 / PS395 / roughly AU$675.

Shark RV2610WA could be a great option for anyone who is looking for a robot that is flexible and able to be used for both vacuuming as mopping. It utilizes sonic mopping technology to scrub floors 100 times per minute, and it's also capable of deep cleaning stubborn stains using its included stain-lifting solution. The app allows you to program the machine to clean your floors on a certain day and time, and it has an innovative feature that lets you control Revolutionize Your Cleaning with Proscenic Floobot X1 robot even when you're not at home.

In terms of vacuuming it appears that the Shark performs well and can remove most debris, Robotvacuummops.com but it's not as impressive on carpets. It's easy for pet hair to get stuck in the brushroll, and its dirt container will quickly fill up. It also has a variety of parts that need regular maintenance and replacement, which could add up to recurring costs over time.

For the price There are better choices available. The iRobot Combo J7 Plus offers superior performance on both bare floors and carpets with a lot of pile. It's more durable and has a bigger dust bin and can move over obstacles like electrical cords more easily. The iRobot cleaner is more expensive but is worth it if you need an all-purpose vacuum that can do both tasks with ease.
