Best robot vacuum mops of 2026: Expert tested
I began using robot vacuum-and-mop combinations over seven years ago to check some chores off my to-do list. It is truly possible to sit back and relax while one of these machines handles all the hard work. These robots significantly evolved from dragging a soggy microfiber pad across your floors to self-washing, rotating mop pads and mop rollers, and self-emptying dustbins.

Why we like it: The Eufy Omni S2 is the best robot vacuum and mop we've tested so far. With excellent suction power that effectively tackles big challenges like pet hair and deep-seated dirt, and the best mopping feature on a robot, the Omni S2 is the top performer in the category.
Eufy took its fantastic mop to an expert level, making the necessary improvements to position its latest robot vacuum and mop in the number one spot. The roller mop uses hydrolyzed water to clean your floors and scrubs away 99,99% of bacteria and germs.
Review: Eufy Omni S2
Who it's for: This robot vacuum and mop is the right fit for homes with mostly hard floors like tile, hardwood, or vinyl planks. It will vacuum carpets as well, but buying the Omni S2 solely to clean carpets would be a waste of its excellent mopping feature. The robot is a good fit for homes with kids and pets, as it picks up pet hair and easily cleans sticky messes.
Who should look elsewhere: The Omni S2 is cost-prohibitive for many budgets. It's regularly priced at $1,600, but currently on sale for $1,400. With such a fantastic mop, this robot is not designed to be a carpet-only cleaner, though it can do that as well. Spending that much money buys you a cleaner that'll be around for the foreseeable future, without the need to upgrade in a couple of years.
Eufy Omni S2 specs: Price: $1,400 (limited time deal) | Battery life: 150 mins | Base station dimensions: 26.4 x 15.2 x 18.7 inches | Suction power: 30,000Pa | Dustbin volume: 330 ml | Water tank capacity: N/A

Why we like it: The Tapo RV20 Max is an entry-level robot vacuum and mop that's affordable, efficient, and reliable.
Who it's for: I recommend this robot vacuum for mostly carpeted floors, light mopping jobs, or smaller spaces. With a 150-minute battery life, the Tapo RV20 Max is suitable for people in apartments or smaller homes that require a thorough cleaning between deeper cleaning sessions.
Who should look elsewhere: It can handle pet hair, but not excessive amounts. If you have multiple pets or a dog that sheds a lot, you might be better off with a different robot vacuum. Similarly, if you have mostly hard floors, try a robot vacuum with a more thorough mopping capability. The Tapo RV20 Max features a water tank that dispenses water onto a microfiber pad at the tail end of the robot.
Tapo RV20 Max specs: Price: $120 (limited time deal) | Battery life: 150 mins | Base station dimensions: 13 x 13 x 13.3 inches | Suction power: 5,300Pa | Dustbin volume: 300 ml | Water tank capacity: N/A

Why we like it: I've used the Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCycle for over three months, and it's the best robot vacuum and mop combo I've tried all year. This self-cleaning robot delivers some of the best suction power on the market. It features a bagless dock where the robot automatically empties its dustbin and has fast charging, allowing it to top itself off quickly, even during short stops to empty itself or wash its mop.
Who it's for: This robot vacuum and mop could be a perfect fit for anyone with a large house or a big area to cover in a single cleaning session. Since its battery can charge quickly each time the robot returns to the base station, the Deebot X11 OmniCycle's battery lasts significantly longer than other flagship models I've tested. It can vacuum and mop my entire first floor of over 980 square feet without stopping to recharge.
Who should look elsewhere: This isn't the cheapest robot vacuum on the market by any means. It's also overkill for homes with mostly carpeted floors, especially since a lot of its value is in the mopping feature.
Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCycle specs: Price: $700 (limited time deal) | Battery life: 180 mins | Base station dimensions: 15 x 18.7 x 19.21 inches | Suction power: 22,000Pa | Dustbin volume: 270 ml | Water tank capacity: 69 ml

Why we like it: The Yeedi S14 Plus is an affordable robot vacuum and mop for under $500. It combines strong 18,000Pa of suction and an Ozmo roller mop engineered by Tineco. This robot vacuum and mop can tackle different floor types in a single session, automatically lifting the mop when it detects carpet.
As a midrange robot vacuum and mop, the S14 Plus offers great standout features including a self-emptying dustbin, self-washing mop, and edge and corner coverage.
Review: Yeedi S14 Plus
Who it's for: In my testing, the S14 Plus is one of the best-value robot vacuum-and-mop combos on the market. It's perfect for those seeking a self-emptying, self-washing robot without paying a fortune.
Who should look elsewhere: The Yeedi S14 Plus costs a fraction of the price of our best pick overall, so you'll miss some of the high-end features that other models offer. While you get autonomous cleaning capabilities, your floors should be clear of large debris and small items before running, or it's likely to get stuck.
Yeedi S14 Plus tech specs: Price: $427 | Battery life: 270 minutes | Dimensions: 13.8 x 18.8 x 21 inches | Suction power: 18,000Pa | Dustbin volume: 300 ml | Water tank capacity: 220 ml

Why we like it: The Mova P50 Pro Ultra is impressive because it rivals models that cost upwards of $1,400, boasting 19,000Pa of suction and hands-free maintenance. Yet one of this robot vacuum and mop's best features is the anti-tangle roller brush that cuts pet hair as it rolls. This means you never have to manually detangle or cut rolled pet hair off your vacuum's brush.
Review: Mova P50 Pro Ultra
This robot vacuum also has a self-emptying dustbin and can wash and dry its mop pads. It only requires attention every few weeks to empty the dirty water, refill the clean water, or replace the dust bag.
Who it's for: The Mova P50 Pro Ultra is designed for pet owners. Furthermore, it's a seamless choice for busy households seeking hands-free cleaning and shoppers seeking the best value. As someone who struggles with allergies, the P50 Pro Ultra has been great at keeping dander, hair, and dust at bay in my dog's favorite room in the house — my home office.
Who should look elsewhere: The truth is that the P50 Pro Ultra may be overkill for smaller apartments or homes. I've also found that this robot can get caught on loose cords that lie flat on the floor, but this doesn't happen often.
Mova P50 Pro Ultra tech specs: Price: $436 (limited-time deal) | Battery life: 210 minutes | Dimensions: 18 x 16.5 x 18.5 inches | Suction power: 19,000Pa | Dustbin volume: 300 ml | Water tank capacity: 300 ml

While trying to determine the best robot vacuum mops, I kept several factors at the forefront of my testing and research that can also aid in your search.
-
Floor types: Some robot vacuum mops are equipped to work with certain floor types, like carpet or hardwood. Others may be able to accommodate other floor types, like stone or marble. Before you buy, consider the types of flooring in your home and which vacuum is most appropriate.
-
Mapping: For full automation, your robot vacuum mop must have a mapping feature to navigate each room. You also want to consider an obstacle avoidance feature that can avoid things like furniture, wires, and even pet waste. This feature is a must-have in my home with strewn about.
-
Battery: A robot vacuum mop is hardly worth it if it doesn't have the battery to keep it going. Consider the battery time before choosing the best robot vacuum mop to ensure it has enough power to clean your home. If you select a robot vacuum with the technical capability to pause its job, return to the charging base to refill its battery, and then resume the job where it left off, this may not be as big of a factor as others on this list.
-
Connectivity: Many of the best robot vacuum mops offer voice control, some even with Alexa. Others may feature an app that allows you to control your robot from afar, set schedules, track progress, and control the machine's efforts. If you're hoping for voice activation rather than using an app, check and see if the machine is compatible with the home assistant of your choice.
ZDNET has several robot vacuum reviewers that have tested over 50 units so far. We conduct tests in real homes with real challenges and in a controlled lab environment for comparison.
Here's what we consider when testing robot vacuums and mops at ZDNET:
- Determine evaluation criteria: For our key evaluation criteria, we consider how robots perform by assessing their suction power, navigation, mapping, and battery life. We also assess the user experience, the robot's versatility, longevity, and whether it delivers on its specifications.
- Unboxing: During this process, we assess the packaging and setup experience and note any accessories and unique features.
- Testing environments: We test the robot vacuums on different floor types (like carpet and hardwood) and see how they navigate various obstacles to test performance.
- Performance metrics: We test suction power with various debris types and assess obstacle navigation and mapping accuracy.
- Extra features: When testing robot vacuum and mop combinations, we evaluate their effectiveness at removing stains and overall cleaning quality. We also check how unique features work, like obstacle avoidance and recognition, extendable mop pads, etc.
To top it all off, we gauge the device's longevity and long-term performance by using it over the course of a few months. Our review timelines vary, but we typically test robot vacuums for about a month before reviewing and keep our reviews updated while the device is available.

Robot vacuum mops are devices that automatically clean your home. Using technology like sensors and cameras, these machines can memorize the rooms in your home and seamlessly navigate while vacuuming and scrubbing your floors.
"Robot vacuum mops can navigate through your home, detecting and avoiding obstacles, and can clean under furniture and other hard-to-reach areas," says Laura Avila, a professional cleaner who runs Cleaning Fan. "Robot vacuum mops can be programmed to clean your floors on a regular schedule, which can help ensure that your floors are always clean and tidy."
A robot vacuum mop requires an investment, which leads many homeowners to wonder whether it is even worth it.
Larry Snider, vice president of operations of Casago SB Rentals, offers additional insight that adds to the argument why these machines are worth the investment. "One of the major benefits of using a robot vacuum mop is that it can help to improve indoor air quality by reducing airborne allergens and pollutants. By removing these allergens from floors and carpets, the robot vacuum mop can help improve the air quality in your home. They can also help remove other pollutants, like mold and bacteria, by mopping the floors with water and cleaning solutions."
Plus, there is the issue of time, which is the obvious factor many are considering when purchasing a robot vacuum mop. Time spent with family is priceless, so these machines are a no-brainer.
The cost of robot vacuum mops can vary significantly. While some are only equipped for certain floors, others may specialize in expanded features like advanced room mapping and voice control. The best robot vacuum mops range in price from $400 to $1,900, depending on your chosen model.

The Saros 20 features 36,000 Pa of suction, which translates to improved cleaning on carpet, specifically. In my tests, I found that the Saros 20 was quite effective at cleaning deep into the carpet fibers, including fine dust and pet hair that get trapped low in the carpet.
