Best Automatic Vacuum and Mop Combos
The Narwal Freo X Ultra is one of the best robot vacuum and mop combos I've ever tested. Its base station has an enormous water tank as well as a dustbin, and its double rubber brush is less likely to tangle hair than single bristles.
Its mopping efficiency is exceptional and its AI mapping excels in eliminating obstacles. It can also pause the cleaning process and then resume from where it began.
1. Roomba Combo j9+
The Roomba Combo J9+ is an all-in-one robot mop and vacuum cleaner that is among the most advanced on the market. It comes with a sleek, self-emptying Clean Base that can store up to two mopping cycles. It's designed to look and feel like a small desk. It is the only robot we've tested with an onboard reservoir that automatically washes and replenishes the cleaning pads after each vacuum and mopping cycle.
The mopping arm rests quietly on top of the unit until it is able to detect hard floors, then lowers to begin scrubbing. It moves slowly and cautiously over surfaces to make sure it doesn't accidentally smear wet mud or spills across carpeted areas. It is capable in staying out of the way of furniture, cords, and other obstacles.
It's smarter than most robot vacuums, too due to the iRobot Home app, which lets you customize your cleaner's settings prioritize rooms based on dirtiness setting cleaning times and schedules and more. The app also provides comprehensive maps of your home, seasonal recommendations, custom cleaning routines, and a variety of smart-home integrations that are easy to use.
This robot vac/mop is based on iRobot's Imprint Smart Mapping Technology to recognize objects such as tables, sofas, and counters. And it can be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to ensure that your home is clean and tidy.
Contrary to other mopping and vacuum robots like the Roomba J9+ makes an entire map of your home seven times more quickly than previous models and categorizes each area by floor type, ensuring that it will always remember to vacuum or mop the area you want. It also comes with a Turbo Mode that boosts suction for difficult spots. With iRobot’s Dirt Detective it can analyze your cleaning habits and make adjustments to the cleaning priorities and settings for the most soiled areas of your home.
2. Yeedi M12 Pro+
The Yeedi M12 Pro+, with its user-friendly app and top-quality features is a formidable competitor in the world automatic mop and vacuum robots.

The M12 has a variety of cleaning options for mopping and vacuuming. Its clever design lets it map a room in less than six minutes and then adjust its cleaning path accordingly. Its advanced mopping features include two spinning pads, as well as electronically controlled water, as well as a "True Edge" Adaptive Edge Mopping System that ensures thorough cleaning of all edges.
Navigation-wise, the M12 makes use of LiDAR and IR to avoid obstacles. The sensors do a great job of detecting larger items, such as furniture and HVAC vents. They can struggle to detect smaller objects, such as cables or small rags. This can cause robots to miss certain areas.
The M12's built-in inclinometer allows it to recognize and navigate stairs. It also returns automatically to its OMNI Station to wash and dry mop brushes and replenish its water tank. When its batteries run low the OMNI station can also automatically empty the bin of dust and clean itself.

It has the highest mopping capacity as well as a camera for increased obstacles to avoid, and a powerful vacuum with the ability to tell when it's going over carpets. It also has advanced technology and voice assistant capabilities.
It performs impressively as a mop and vacuum, completing our 1,500-square foot test area in about 101 minutes before running out of battery and returning to its dock. Its mop washes itself in between use, which reduces the cost of maintenance and keeps its pads clean. In addition to this, there is a dock sensor that senses the moment that the mop's pad gets dirty and triggers a wash cycle to keep it clean.
Like its predecessors, like its predecessors, the S8 MaxV Ultra features an intelligent system that recognizes household objects including shoes and pet waste using cameras and LIDAR combination. It performed well during our obstacle avoidance test, with only one glitch (it got stuck when unwinding a ball wool that was tangled around its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with a brand new 10,000pa worth of suction power, more than twice its predecessor. This makes it a great choice for homes that have a lot of carpeting and different types of flooring. The vacuum can also be programmed to automatically increase suction when moving dirt or crumbs.

5. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro is an amazingly powerful vacuum and mop combination that was designed to be user-friendly. The base station, which is gunmetal-colored, is self-emptying and refills its own tank with clean water, automatically empties the dust bin into a smaller one, and washes and dries its own mop pad between cleaning sessions. It comes with advanced features that allow it to switch between hard and carpet surfaces, and remove pet hair from carpets, and clean thresholds for rooms that are raised.

Once that's done, the map is displayed in the app and rooms can be added or joined when needed. You can also create virtual boundaries, no-go zones and no-mop zones if you don't want the robot to touch specific objects.

Its ability to both vacuum and mop makes it an excellent choice for homes that have both types of flooring. However, its dependence on Eufy cleaning products (which are included in the box) could make it less flexible as other robots that allow you to add your own cleaning products.
