Best Automatic Vacuum and Mop Combos
The Narwal Freo X Ultra is one of the top robot vacuums and mops I've tried. Its base station features large dustbin as well as a water tank, and its dual rubber brushes are less susceptible to hair tangles than single bristles.
Its mopping performance is excellent and its AI mapping excels in eliminating obstacles. It is also able to stop its cleaning task and resume where it left off.
1. Roomba Combo j9+
The Roomba Combo j9+ is one of the most advanced 2-in-1 mop and robot vacuum cleaners currently on the market. It features a sleek, self-emptying Clean Base that can hold up to two mopping cycles. It is designed to look like a small desk. It is also the only robot we've tested with an onboard reservoir that automatically washes and replenishes the pads for cleaning after each mopping or vacuum cycle.
The mopping arm is positioned on top of the unit. It lowers when it detects hard surfaces and begins to scrub. It is able to move slowly over surfaces to avoid accidentally spreading wet or muddy spills on carpeted areas. It does a great job of staying clear of the path of cords, furniture, and other obstacles.
The iRobot Home App is smarter than other robot vacuums. It lets you customize the settings of your cleaner and prioritize rooms based on dirtiness, schedule cleaning times and much more. The app also provides detailed maps of your home, seasonal recommendations as well as custom cleaning routines and intuitive smart-home integrations.
This robot vacuum and mop utilizes iRobot's Imprint Smart Mapping technology to recognize objects, such as counters, sofas, and tables. It can be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri making it simple to clean your home.
Contrary to other mopping and vacuum robots, the Roomba j9+ creates a complete map of your house 7x faster than the previous models and categorizes each area by floor type, ensuring that it will always be aware of when to vacuum or mop the area you want. It also comes with an iRobot Turbo Mode that boosts suction in difficult areas. And with iRobot's Dirt Detective software, it will identify your habits of cleaning and preferences, and automatically adjust cleaning priorities and settings, like mop scrubbing motions, for the dirtiest parts of your home.
2. Yeedi M12 Pro+

Its advanced mopping features include dual spinning pads, as well as electronically controlled water and a "True Edge" Adaptive Edge Mopping System that ensures thorough cleaning of all edges.
In terms of navigation, the M12 uses LiDAR and IR to avoid obstacles. The sensors are capable of detecting larger objects, such as HVAC vents and furniture. They may struggle to find smaller objects like cables or small rags. This may cause the robots to miss spots.
The M12's built-in inclinometer enables it to recognize and navigate stairs. It can also return automatically to its OMNI Station to wash and dry mop brushes and replenish its water tank. When the batteries are depleted the OMNI station can even automatically empty the dust bin and clean itself.

It performed well in our obstacle avoidance test with only one hiccup (it got stuck when unwinding a ball wool that was wrapped around its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra features a suction power of 10,000pa, which is nearly twice the power of its predecessor. This makes it a great choice for homes that have lots of carpet and a variety of flooring types. The vacuum can be programmed to automatically increase suction when it comes across dust or crumbs.

This helps the X40 Ultra receive one of the top scores in our evaluations for obstacle avoidance.
5. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro has been designed to be a powerful mop and vacuum that is also user-friendly. The base station, which is gunmetal-colored, is self-emptying and fills its own tank with clean water, automatically empties the dust bin into a smaller one it washes and dry its own mop pad in between cleaning sessions. It also has a sophisticated feature set that allows it to switch between hard and rugs effectively removing pet hair and dirt from carpets, and clean raised room thresholds.

It can drive close to walls without hitting them and avoids steps, and also automatically raises its mop when driving over rugs or carpets with a short pile. However, it did struggle with longer-pile carpets as well as large, thick messes of dried-on debris.

The map will then be displayed in the app and you can join or add rooms as you need to. Best robot vacuum cleaner UK can set virtual boundaries, as well as no-go zones if there's something you don't want the robot to get into.
The S1 Pro does a great job of removing messes from hard floors, thanks to its rotating mop head, which puts 2.2lbs (1kg) of downward pressure on the floor. Its ability to mop and vacuum is a great choice for homes with floors of both types but its dependence on a Eufy-branded cleaning product (which is included in the box) can make it less flexible than some other robots that let you add your own solutions.
