The best robotic mop and vacuum Self Emptying Robot Vacuum

The top robot vacuums that self-empty have a base which holds the equivalent of a month's worth of debris and automatically empty it. It can create a detailed home map, allowing you to identify rooms and to create "no go" zones.

It is equipped with superior obstacle avoidance abilities, too, so it is safe from power cords and rogue socks.

iRobot Roomba s9+

This robot is among iRobot's premium models and it certainly does its job. It can move easily across different surfaces, and is extremely efficient at sucking dust, dirt and other debris up. It is also very well-built and looks stunning too.

The S9 is iRobot’s latest premium S Series robot vacuum. It comes with a number of additional features that make it different from other models. The iRobot App can utilize, for instance, the camera to create a map that assists the robot to navigate and clean effectively.

It can also automatically return to the place where it started if its battery runs low during a cleaning session, so you don't have to waste time re-cleaning the same spots. You can manually start and stop cleaning by an audio command, or by using the irobot mopping and vacuum App. This smart vacuum can also clean in the dark!

Carpet Boost is another great feature. It gives the S9 more suction power when it comes in contact with carpeting so that it can pick up even more dirt. The unit is an open-front design that allows it to get closer to walls and corners than older round designs. This model doesn't work well with shag or high-pile carpeting.

During our testing we discovered that the iRobot S9+ cleans thoroughly and efficiently on a range of flooring surfaces, ranging from medium-pile to hard carpets and rugs. It also worked well with tiles, vinyl, and laminate floors. It was capable of maneuvering around furniture and objects, but it had some trouble with stairs, where it could accidentally crash into bookcases.

The S9's capability to automatically return to its base and empty its dust bin once it is full was an excellent feature. It eliminated the necessity for manual maintenance. Its dust bag is expected to last for about 30 loads, which is about two months and you'll need to replace the filter every once in a while (which is actually recommended by iRobot). The iRobot S9+ is not extremely loud when it's operating, making it a good option for families with children or pets.

Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid

designed to take one of the most difficult tasks off your hands, robot vacuum cleaners can do all the hard work of keeping carpeted and hardwood floors free of the everyday dirt. The best ones are controlled and monitored via an app on your smartphone and some have mopping tech for kitchen and bathroom floors. They're a great option for busy families, and they're becoming more affordable than ever. But if you want top-tech features in your robotic cleaner, you'll need to pay a little more.

The Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid vacuum and mopping machine is a great choice for people who live in a multi-floored apartment. Dual motors provide it with an impressive cleaning capacity, and the vacuum's 0.6l dustbin can store plenty of pet hair. The dustbin can be removed and emptied easily this is important since you'll have to do it regularly.

It's also simple to set up, but I would recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid prior to running it for mops the very first time. You'll have to install the Eufy Home app and follow the instructions for connecting it to your Wi-Fi network. The app will then help you to create a map of your house. You can name the rooms, split large areas into sub-rooms to facilitate open-plan living and direct the X8 Hybrid towards specific areas that need to be cleaned at a specific time. Eufy's app is more user-friendly and precise than other robots with similar scanning and mapping capabilities.

The X8 Hybrid has a great feature: you can activate the mop or vacuum via voice thanks to its integration with Amazon Alexa and mops Google Assistant. This is a nice feature that makes the robot more hands-free. It also works well in our test home.

The X8 Hybrid, like many robotic vacuums has some problems with floors that are not fully covered. It can miss pet fur and small items and is known to knock things like its charger on the charging platform. It is also not as quiet, and the whirring sound could be distracting as other models.

Roborock V3S pro

This robot doesn't have as many features as the more expensive models we tested, however it does cover the basics. It has a large dust bin which can hold a lot of dirt prior to needing to be cleaned. The vacuum and mop system is great for both hard floors and carpets with low pile. It's also very quiet, and we could watch the TV while it was working without feeling like it was bombarding us with noise.

Our testers loved how easy it was to set up and use, and they were impressed by its capacity to get all the mess out of their floors. It even did a pretty good job of picking up pet hair and other messes that get on carpeting, though it wasn't as successful in removing stubborn stains. They found the app user-friendly and intuitive, and they were able to schedule the vacuum to be cleaned on a regular basis to cut down on the amount they had to do manually. The only drawback is that it doesn't have any mapping technology or object avoidance, so you aren't able to send it to specific rooms or follow virtual boundaries (though magnetic boundary strips are compatible).

The V3S Pro is another model in iRobot’s affordable line. It comes with several impressive features for an affordable cost. It beat out all other robot vacuums we tested when it comes to finding and avoiding obstacles and it's the best budget option for those who are looking for a smarter self-emptying robot vacuum that can handle pet hair and messes both on hardwood floors and low-pile carpeting. It's also extremely quiet and has a large dust bin that can hold a lot of dust before it's time to empty it.

The V3S Pro did not make it onto any of our top picks lists from reliable sources that perform hands-on tests, but it received high marks from Modern Castle, Smart Robot Reviews and The Ambient. The V3S Pro was easy to use and set up, however the battery life was a bit short.

Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is a solid basic robot vacuum and mop that doesn't scrimp on features or prices. It comes with many of the features you find on top models, such as intelligent navigation and mapping, all without spending top dollar. You can even use voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri shortcuts to create custom automations and start your cleaning routine from anywhere while you're away.

Roborock has taken its time creating this clever cleaner. This is why the product is extremely sturdy and feels as if it was constructed from premium materials. The base is strong and solid, and has an integrated charging port for the battery. You'll find the docking station for the clean-water tank and the dirty-water bins above. You'll also find a wall beneath the dock, which houses the vacuum bag that is sealed.

Once you pair your device to the app, you'll get an interactive map of your home, which shows where your robot is currently situated and the area it's cleaning. You can also create virtual barriers to ensure that the robot isn't in certain areas and make sure it's only cleaning specific kinds of floors. It can also adjust its power settings based on the type of floor that is being cleaned. Select the most effective cleaning method.

Contrary to other robot vacuums, the Q Revo can lift up both of its mops while it's vacuuming to avoid staining your carpet fibres. In fact, it's the few vacuums on the market that can do this.

The Q Revo's suction capacity of 5500Pa is enough to remove pet hair and dust specks while mopping. The all-rubber brush is perfect for dissolving hair of animals and humans, as well as adapting to uneven surfaces.

The only downside to this model is that it takes a long time to empty and fill the dirty and clean tanks. You can decrease the frequency of this by using the auto-empty function, which will empty the bin on its own after a couple of days. You'll still have to check the level of water in the dock manually though, as there isn't an automatic reminder.
