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 several times per run, which keeps it running more frequently and keeps your floors tidy.

The app allows you to set up zones and cleaning schedules. But it didn't avoid obstacles like shoes or furniture legs, as well as the j7 or 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 robot arm that raises and lowers a mopping pad, and some new sensors. The result is a capable two-in-one cleaner that we've found superior to other robot vacuums that don't mop.

The Combo J7+ doesn't have the features for smart mopping that our top pick has however, it is clean and well-maintained. It has a powerful brush roll that works on hard floors as well as carpeted areas. It can be able to get between furniture and rugs without a problem, even on steep stairs. It has a strong suction that we found impressive, though it's not as powerful as the iRobot Roomba's 694.

The Combo J7+ is distinguished from other robot vacuums by mopping features, which uses a rotating brush to scrub floors. iRobot calls it SmartScrub, and it works by moving back and forth, mimicking the way you scrub your floor using a mop. It can be turned on by room within the iRobot app.

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 taken out to clean it easily. The iRobot App lets you watch videos that show how to maintain the various components of the machine. For example replacing the mopping pad or filtering the water tank.

The only drawback is that the iRobot Combo J7+ only mops if it has mopping pads attached and its 210 ml water tank is fully filled. It will only vacuum if one of these is missing. The iRobot App lets you monitor the water tank and receive alerts when it's low.

2. Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is a low-cost robot that does an excellent job of mopping and vacuuming. The mopping efficiency, especially when compared to its cost, is quite impressive. It works well on carpets and hard floors, picking up small to large debris (think hair tangles or cat litter). It's also great for cleaning dried spills, messes and stains. It also cleans stairs and other difficult-to-get-stuck areas well.

The mopping system utilizes a rotating pad to scrub floors with water and lift dirt and grime, including on stuck-on spots. The pad is also thoroughly dried with 45 minutes of warm air following every cleaning to prevent the growth of mold and unpleasant smells. You can control the robot with the Roborock App or your voice to begin mopping or change settings, and much more.

Its performance in vacuuming is top-quality as well. It comes with a powerful vacuum and a high-efficiency filter which is able to capture all types of debris from fine to large. The only downside is that it doesn't work as well against pet hair on carpet. After two sessions of vacuuming at maximum power, 10 percent of pet hair was still on the surface. This isn't unheard of.

The Q Revo is a top-quality product, with its excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. It also has great cleaning and mopping capabilities. It's not as effective as the higher-end robotic vacuum cleaner and mop but it is still an excellent choice for those with a limited budget. It can also charge up to 30% quicker than its predecessors, and it works with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri Shortcuts. That's a lot of convenience for a tiny amount of money. Read our full review of the Roborock Q Revo to get more details and to see whether it's the right choice for you.

3. Yeedi Cube

The Yeedi Cube is a vacuum mop robot that operates well and has amazing features for a affordable cost. The setup was easy and took only five minutes. After you have removed the protective plastic and manufacturing tape, you can scan the QR code on the app to start. The app is user-friendly and guides you through the process easily. Once the Cube is configured, the Cube is ready to begin mapping and cleaning.

The app allows you to create maps and customize the layout of your home. The app allows you to divide rooms into smaller sections so that they can be targeted more specifically. You can draw an outline of the kitchen and a different one for the living room. The robot vacuums self emptying will vacuum the floors at different times in each room.

The Yeedi Cube is unique compared to other robots that I've tried. It is an industrial look. Its base station features a more modular design than other robots, featuring the tank for dirty water and an auto-empty feature on one side and the vacuum on another. The reusable mop pad is also a separate piece, fitting into the top of the robot and being attached to a handle on the front to make it easy to remove and refilling.

The vacuum performs as well as any other robot I've tested and has two side brushes instead of the single one in most models. This expands the coverage of the vacuum and makes it less likely to lose debris from furniture and walls. It has some issues with recognition of objects and can run into objects like the carpet with tassels in my office.

4. iRobot Braava Jet m6

The iRobot Braava Jet m6 is an efficient robot mop that can do its job well and keeps your floors looking great every day. It can't do the vacuuming jobs of the other hybrids listed here and isn't able to transition to carpets or rugs as they can, but it has a long battery life, smart mopping features and mopping is a good option to maintain your floors in a small or mid-sized home.

It operates in dry sweeping mode too cleaning up to 1000 square feet with one charge. It's also able to map your floor plan using the iRobot app and clean rooms in sequence with compatible Roomba vacuums.

In wet mopping, the m6 employs precise sprays to dampen the floors in straight lines. It's fascinating to observe and it was able to take on even the toughest dried-in coffee and juice stains on my floors. It can be programmed to use less or more water than the maximum amount set in the app.

The iRobot application is among the best on the market and allows you to sync with your home's wi-fi network simple. It has many user-friendly features including scheduling, room partitioning and defining no-go zones. This gives you total control over the device. You can also check how much power is left in the battery, so you know how long before it has to be docked or recharged. The m6 can be purchased at My Robot Centre for PS499 in the UK or at the iRobot Store in the US for just $399 and on Amazon (where the m6 is currently on sale). It is available in white and graphite.

5. Shark RV2610WA

The price of vacuum and mop robotic cleaners is a big problem. They are convenient, but also expensive. The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with XL HEPA Self-Empty base, which we've reviewed in this article, will set you back $699 / PS559 / around $1054. If you don't need the charging base, it will still cost $549 / PS395 / roughly $675.

Shark RV2610WA is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a machine that is versatile and can perform both vacuuming as well as mopping. It uses sonic mopping to scrub floors at a rate of 100 times per minute, and is capable of deep cleaning stubborn stains with its included stain-lifting solution. The app lets you schedule the machine to clean at a particular time and day. It also has a smart feature which allows you to control your robot when you're away.

The Shark vacuum cleaner is good in vacuuming and is able to pick up most debris. However, it is not as effective on carpets. It's easy to trap pet hair in the brushroll, and the dirt compartment can become full fairly quickly. There are a lot of components that require regular maintenance and replacement, which can increase the cost over time.

For the price There are better choices available. The iRobot Combo J7 Plus, for instance, provides superior performance on bare floors and high-pile carpets. It's more durable and has a larger dust bin and is able to maneuver around obstacles such as electrical cords better. The iRobot is more expensive, but it's well worth the extra expense if require a cleaner that can do both jobs with ease.
