The best robot mop for tile floors self-emptying robot vacuum comes with a base that holds the equivalent of a month's worth and automatically empty. It makes a thorough home map that lets you mark rooms and define "no go" zones.
It is equipped with superior obstacle avoidance abilities, too, so it can stay clear of power cords and rogue socks.
Roomba s9+ iRobot from iRobot
This is among the top models from iRobot and it certainly delivers. It is able to maneuver easily across a range of different surfaces and is extremely efficient at taking in dust, dirt and other debris. It's also well-built and looks stunning too.
The S9 is the most recent model in iRobot's premium S Series line of robot vacuums. As the name suggests, it has several additional features that differentiate it from other models. For example the iRobot app can use the camera on this unit to create a map of your house that helps it navigate and clean efficiently.
It's not necessary to spend time cleaning the same spots over and over again if the battery runs out. You can also start cleaning sessions and stop them with a simple voice command or through the iRobot app. This smart vacuum can also clean in the dark!
Carpet Boost is another great feature. It provides the S9 more suction power when it comes in contact with carpeting, so it will be able to pick up more dirt. The unit also has the square front design, which is closer to the corners and walls than the older round designs. This model doesn't work well with high-pile or shag carpeting.
During our tests, we found the iRobot S9+ cleaned thoroughly and efficiently a variety of floor surfaces including medium and hard carpets. It also performed well with tiles, laminate flooring, and vinyl floors. It was capable of maneuvering around furniture and other objects, but it had issues with stairs, where it could accidentally crash into bookcases.
We liked the fact that the S9 automatically returns to its base to empty its dust bin once it's empty, which dramatically minimizes the need to be hands-on with maintenance. The dust bin will last for about 30 loads or a month and half. It's recommended to replace the filter every few months (as suggested by iRobot). In our experience, the iRobot S9+ doesn't get loud during operation and is a great option for those living with pets or children.
Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid
Robot vacuum cleaners are created to take care of the dirty work for you, and they can clean hardwood and carpeted flooring. Some robot vacuum cleaners can be controlled using a smartphone application, while others feature mopping technology for bathroom and kitchen flooring. They're a great choice for busy families and they are becoming more affordable. If you're looking to get the latest technology in your robotic vacuum cleaner then you'll need to pay a bit more.
The Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid is an all-in-one vacuum and mopping machine making it a great choice for those in a flat with multiple floors. Its dual motors give it an impressive cleaning capacity, and the vacuum's 0.6l dustbin can store plenty of pet hair. The dustbin is able to be removed and emptied easily which is beneficial because you'll need to do it regularly.
It's also simple to set it up, though I recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid prior to running it for the first time. You'll need to install the Eufy Home app and follow the instructions to connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Once you've done this the app will help you create an accurate map of your home. You can label rooms, divide large spaces into sub-rooms (good for open-plan living) and direct the X8 Hybrid to specific areas that require cleaning at the time of. Other robots also offer similar mapping and scanning functions, but Eufy's app is more refined and user-friendly than other models.
The X8 Hybrid has a great feature: you can turn on the mop or vacuum via voice thanks to its integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is a nice feature that makes the robot hands-free. It was very effective in our test home.Like many robotic vacuums, the X8 Hybrid has some issues with floors that are not clean. It is prone to miss fur and small items and tends to bump things like its charger on the charging platform. It's also not as quiet and the whirring sound can be distracting like other models.
Roborock V3S pro
The robot doesn't have as many features as some of the more expensive models we've tested however, it does have all the basics. It has a big enough dust bin to hold plenty of dirt before it's time to empty it, and its mop and vacuum system is great for hard floors and low-pile carpets. It's also super quiet, and we were able to sit and watch TV while it was cleaning without feeling like it was bombarding us with noise.
Our testers were very impressed by how simple the machine was to operate and set up. They also loved its ability to eliminate all the messes that had accumulated on their floors. It even did a pretty excellent job of removing pet hair and other messes that get on carpeting, although it was less successful in tackling stubborn stuck-on staining. They found the app user-friendly and intuitive, and they were able to program the vacuum to clean regularly to cut down on the amount they had to do manually. It doesn't have any mapping or object avoidance technology, which means it cannot be used to send specific rooms or follow virtual boundaries (though magnetic boundaries work).
The V3S Pro is another model in iRobot’s affordable line. It offers many impressive features at a reasonable price. It was the most efficient robot vacuum in our tests to avoid obstacles and map them. It's also a great budget choice for those looking for an intelligent, self-emptying robotic vacuum that can handle pet messes and hair on hardwood floors and carpets with a low pile. It's also extremely quiet and has a huge dust bin which can hold plenty of debris before it needs to be emptied.
While the V3S Pro didn't earn a place in any of our top choices roundups from trusted sources that perform hands-on testing, it still received high marks from reviewers at 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 an entry-level robot vacuum cleaner that provides a wide range of features at a fair price. You can avail many of the premium features, like smart navigation and mapping, without spending a fortune. You can utilize voice commands with Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Siri shortcuts for custom automations, and to start your cleaning cycle while you are away.
Roborock took its time in creating this clever cleaner. The product is extremely well-built, and it feels like high-end materials were used to make it. Its base is sturdy and solid, and has an integrated charging port for the battery. There's a docking station for the clean-water tank as well as dirty-water bins on top. Under those, you'll find an enclosure that houses the sealed vacuum bag.
After connecting your device to the application, you'll be able to see a 3D and 2D map of your house that shows you where your robot is at any given time and the specific area it's cleaning. You can also build virtual barriers to keep your robot from certain areas or clean only certain types of flooring. It's also capable of adjusting its power settings based on what type of floor is being cleaned, as well as selecting the most efficient method of cleaning.
Unlike many other robot vacuums like the Q Revo, it can lift up both of its mop heads while vacuuming to prevent staining your carpet fibres. It's actually one of the few vacuums that can accomplish this.
The Q Revo's suction capacity of 5500Pa is enough to remove dust specks and pet hair when you clean. The all-rubber brush can be used to separate animal and human hair as it adapts to uneven surfaces.
The only drawback is that it takes a while to empty and fill the water tanks, both clean and dirty. Luckily, you can decrease the frequency of this by using the auto-empty feature, which will automatically empty the container after a couple of days. There is no automatic reminder to check the level of water in the dock.
