This robot vacuum-mop is a good option for flat dwellers, as it carries the rubbish away in its own bin, and also uses an incredibly small docking station. Its app allows you to select different modes and monitor cleaning, plus the mopping feature impresses.
Its mapping and obstacle avoidance are impressive, while it is able to mops extremely well, picking up pet hair, spillages and dirt. It also self-empties and cleans and refills its water tank.iRobot Roomba Combination
The iRobot Combo adds mopping to the already impressive vacuuming capabilities of the robot. It's not quite enough to take the place of our reigning Editors' Choice, the Deebot X1 Omni, which offers more cleaning power and an app that is easier to use on mobile devices however it makes for a strong alternative. In our tests it was consistently able to remove dirt of all sizes and types from carpets and hard floors. Its obstacle avoidance system isn't the most advanced in the world, lacking structured light and other features like LiDAR, but it still did a good job of preventing collisions with furniture and clutter.
The Combo includes the majority of the same functions as the j7 Plus, including new acoustic sensors onboard to identify the type of floor and AI-powered navigation, but isn't able to set suction power manually. It's also smaller than its vac-only model, and it doesn't have an auto-empty dock.
The Combo is one of my favorites for homes with a lot of space. Its sleek design is also among the most attractive I've seen. The sleek, matte black plastic looks superior to the competition's glossy or metallic finishes, and iRobot's tiny touches--like a leather tab to open the bin onboard and a shelf within the dock to store extra bags--are classier than the majority of its competitors'. The iRobot Combo makes it simple to create maps and set up Keep-Out Zones.
Roborock
Although Roborock is relatively new to the robot vacuum and mop industry, it's already earned its name because of its innovative cleaning techniques. The brand's vacuums feature industry-leading suction, and its mopping systems utilize vibrating mops to scrub floors of dirt. You can also alter the cleaning routine of the bot by using a variety and mapping features.
Another impressive Roborock feature is obstacle avoidance, which lets the robot see objects smaller than its height. This is particularly useful for the most popular Roborock models, like the Qrevo Master, which is top of the line in terms of navigation courtesy of both vSLAM and LiDAR. Other robovacs are often seen to crash into furniture and run over pet faeces and faeces with no awareness but the Qrevo Master solves this problem with a Reactive AI system that uses twin cameras to perceive the presence of objects in a room.
Roborock robots are also equipped with numerous convenience features that help reduce day-to-day maintenance. These include auto-empty capable docks and multifunctional mop washing stations. These features make it unnecessary to empty bins and wash mops manually, allowing to enjoy a hands-free ownership experience. The app is simple to use thanks to its straightforward design and lag-free connection to the robot.
Hobot Legee D8
Hobot Legee, with its broad range of integrated cleaning features and advanced mopping capabilities is among the top robot vacuums/mops that can be used on dry and wet floors. Its advanced navigation system blends five different technologies to plan and follow a path that is the most efficient. It can also detect different flooring materials and identify obstacles with pinpoint accuracy. It can lift itself up to 7mm in order to glide across carpets. Smart spray system uses just the right amount of water for stain removal without leaving marks.
The Legee is an Gen 4 robot that competes directly with the Eufy Robovac X9 and Ecovacs Deebot T20, both of which are priced higher. It comes with more features than either, including a more flexible, D-shaped body that is able to clean the corners and under cabinets better than a round Robot Vacuum Mops. Its sensors include 360deg (3D) (Lidar Encoder Gyro and E-compass) four forward-facing sensors, 1 right-side-facing (IR ToF distance sensors) and two pairs of cliff detectors front and rear (most robots only have one pair). It also includes Legee SLAM, which reduces the bump-and grind problems that plague Gen 4 Robots.
The Legee is different from other robots in that it comes with a trash compactor and operates on the more quiet 5 GHz band of Wi-Fi. The LuLu mop wash station is included and can wash, refill and dry your mop's 'cloth. The mop can be used for up to six times longer than other mops. It also reduces the amount of waste and frequency at which bins are empty.
Karcher RCV 5
Popular for its pressure washers and garden tools, Karcher has been dabbling in robot vacuums for quite a time and it's the most advanced model. Based on LiDAR technology, it creates maps of your house and can be programmed to clean or mop. It also can tell the distinction between carpets and hard floors to ensure that you don't get water puddles on your precious pile.
Its navigation is flawless and it can navigate around furniture or rugs easily. It can also lift itself over steps. The robot can be customised by adjusting a range of settings that include cleaning schedules and rooms it is required to be cleaning. It also comes with an 'emergency' button that will oblige the robot to return to base in the event that it is unable to supply power and can be set to automatically turn off when the weather is forecast to be stormy.
The RCV 5 is very easy to use, and despite being quite heavy at nearly 4kg, you won't experience difficulty moving it around furniture. Safety features like a sensor that alerts you to stay clear of stairs will be appreciated by parents with small children. Once fully charged, it takes just several hours to fully charge and the two buttons on the top will blink green to let you know it is ready for action.
Mova E30 Ultra
The Mova E30 Ultra is a robot vacuum cleaner that balances modern cleaning technology with affordability. It is a rival to models such as the Dreame L10 Ultra and Roborock's Q Revo. The Mova E30 Ultra is a lower-cost model, however it has features not offered in other models. It utilizes sensors to alter its settings to suit different floors and surfaces, as well as detect dirtier areas and ensure that they get enough attention. It can also move slower to avoid damaging furniture or walls.
You can also see the map of your home within the app. You can also mark specific areas and objects you want the vacuum to stay away from. The vacuum will slow down if it detects an obstruction, and avoid getting into it. It also comes with an intelligent dust bin, that alerts you to the fullness of the bin to ensure that you empty the bin at the right time.
The Mova E30 Ultra offers a affordable option for those who want to outsource their daily cleaning tasks. It is a robot mop and vacuum that will clean your floors without you needing to lift a finger. It has a clever design that improves corner cleaning by up to 60%. It comes with up to 7000 Pa of suction power, and RoboSwing arms, and it can be controlled via the app or voice assistants like Alexa or Siri.
Beko RCV3
The Beko RCV3 is a sleek and well-equipped hybrid robot vacuum/mop that does an excellent job of keeping floors clean and span. It isn't able to lift its mops to clean carpets and rugs as well as the Roborock S8 MaxV ultra, but it's very effective in cleaning hard floors. It has a self emptying bin, a superior level of suction, an array of mopping options, and a high-quality app that works both on iOS and Android.
It's smaller than its competitors and its main brush is smaller however, it did an impressive job in our test room. The edge brush that rotates on the side is a great addition. Although it didn't get rid of dirt as well as some of the competitors, it still performed well.
The robot can be programmed to have individual cleaning parameters for each room. It will then create detailed maps using LiDAR's built-in navigation. The application is simple to use and comes with an array of voice output options that will keep you updated on the progress of your robot. Regular software updates help improve and enhance the performance. The app is able to remotely manage the RCV3 even when you are away from home.
