Top Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

While robots aren't able to replace a conventional vacuum for picking up dirt-in particles like metal screws and pieces of orzo pasta, they're excellent at sweeping dust, crumbs and pet hair. The best models are equipped with intelligent navigation systems, which can help them avoid cords, toys and other obstacles in the household.

1. Roomba iRobot i3+ from iRobot EVO

The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO is an excellent robot vacuum that has a variety of clever features that make it much easier to maintain than other models. Its automatic bin emptying is one of the most efficient features we've seen in the form of a robot and it is compatible on both hard floors and carpets. The app will guide you through the entire process. It is also easy to use and set up. Another notable feature is the ability to go back to where it was when we tested it. It did this for 77 minutes in one cleaning before running out of battery.

The i3+ EVO, unlike some of the other robot vacuums we tested has a self-emptying bin that automatically dumps debris in an external dirt container on the base of its charging once it's full. This reduces hands-on maintenance and also helps prevent the i3+ EVO from overfilling, however it still needs to be manually cleaned after each cleaning session. The i3+ EVO dustbin can hold 2.4L, which will last for four to five cleaning sessions.

Like the i7, this model is equipped with state-of-the-art floor sensors to create maps and navigate neat rows. The i3+ EVO can only keep one map, whereas the i7 is able to store multiple. The i7's map is used to create virtual barriers and no-go zones, but not the i3+ EVO.

While the i3+ EVO is superior at picking up dirt and debris from surfaces than the other robovacs we reviewed, it's not the best when it comes to cleaning corners and edges. It's also less gentle on furniture, despite being relatively quiet. It pulled chairs away from walls, and made some collisions with the sides of our test bed, and became stuck on cords and toys during testing.

2. Black & Decker Q5 Pro

The Q5 Pro is an excellent choice for expanding your collection of robot vacuums or are just beginning to get started. It packs a lot of power, a smart navigation system and a user-friendly automation into a sleek design at an affordable price. It's the best pound-for-pound model currently available and is even better than some of Roborock's much pricier models in many ways.

This robot is excellent in cleaning floors that are not clean and its avoidance technology helps it to steer away from furniture legs or other obstacles. It also does well on carpets and gets an excellent score in our navigation tests. The only snag is that it's noisier than many other models we test and it doesn't do similarly in our user satisfaction and predicted reliability assessments.

The Q5 Pro comes with a large dust bin of 770ml, meaning that you won't need to empty it as frequently as other 2-in-1 robots. The Q5 Pro's 240-minute running time is also impressive when compared to other 2-in-1 robots we have tested. If the battery is depleted it returns to its dock and automatically recharges, before starting cleaning where it stopped. You can control the Q5 Pro via the app and make voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

This is among the first robots we've seen to incorporate 3D mapping. This, in conjunction with other innovations, makes it perform exceptionally well in our mopping and vacuuming tests. You can schedule cleanings, set no-go zones and see the battery's status as well as other things. The app is simple to use, but it does not support Apple HomeKit which is scheduled to be added by 2025. Apple changed its footnote on its website in early November to reflect that this feature has been delayed until 2025. HomeKit is not compatible with other robots, but Siri Shortcuts are.

3. TP-Link Tapo RV30 Plus

If you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop and is affordable, the TP Link Tapo RV30 Plus is the best option. It offers an impressive set of features for the cost and features a stylish design. self cleaning vacuum can control the device with different buttons on the machine or through the app and even use voice commands.

The TP-Link RV30 Plus does a very good job at cleaning up messes of all kinds and is suitable for light mopping on hard floors. It comes with a replacement mopping cloth and sweeper brush, as well as a HEPA filter. It can be used in conjunction with a smart home hub like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for convenient voice control. The TP-Link RV30 Plus is easy to set up and is connected to a wide range of floor surfaces with the automatic mode. This will ensure the best cleaning results for every room and floor type.

The mopping feature can be utilized to automatically clean floors or remove stubborn stains and liquid spills. You can combine both functions to get a thorough and deep cleaning.

The TP-Link RV30 Plus has an impressive suction and 3 settings for dry mopping, and is able to quickly remove dust pet hairs, crumbs, and other debris from any flooring kind. The device can clean carpets without damaging it thanks to special mops.

During the first mapping session, the TP-Link RV30 Plus scans and stores the home's layout using its LiDAR and Gyro dual navigation system. You can edit the map in the app and split or merge rooms according to your preferences. You can also create virtual walls and no-go zones to stop the RV30 Plus from wandering into areas you don't want to be in.

4. Eufy iMop

The Eufy iMop is one of the most powerful fully-featured robot vacuum and mop combos for hard floors. It features a high-tech mapping system that maps your home across several floors. The base station is well-designed, and automates cleaning to a great extent. It also offers incredible obstacle avoidance and navigation.

This model uses an internal dToF LiDAR sensor to create a map of your home, resulting in efficient cleaning routes. The iMop was a winner in our assessment of the effectiveness of navigation and coverage and was efficient in getting around obstacles, such as furniture. It's also able to find its way back to the base station, which is a great benefit in the event it's running out of battery during cleaning.

It also comes with a spot cleaning mode that allows you to clean or mop the specific area of your floor. It can also be programmed to follow a specific route, which is helpful in narrow staircases or hallways. In our carpet cleaning test, it was successful in cleaning carpets. However, it had a difficult time to clean rugs and carpets with longer piles. It is also able to automatically raise the mop pad whenever it encounters carpet, which is a wonderful feature if you want to not mop your carpets.


The iMop includes an onboard dustbin and a water tank that empties at the end every cleaning session. The dust bin on board can hold up to 2.5 Liters of debris and is only required to be emptying it every couple of cleaning cycles. The water tank can withstand up to a dozen mopping cycles before it gets dry. The iMop requires less maintenance and cleaning than an standard robot vacuum, which could be a major selling point for busy families.

The iMop smartphone app is easy-to-use and offers a wide range of configuration options. It offers multiple suction modes, mopping settings, and also scheduling. It also lets you create virtual walls and no-go zones, so that the robot isn't able to wander into rooms that aren't allowed. The app also provides access to the iMop status and error messages.
