Best Automatic Vacuum and Mop Combos
The Narwal Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is one of the most efficient combos I've ever tested. Its base station comes with large dustbin as well as a water tank. Its dual rubber brushes are less prone to hair tangles than single bristles.
Its mopping efficiency is impressive and its AI mapping excels in getting around obstacles. It is also able to pause its cleaning work and resume it where it was when it stopped.

The Roomba Combo j9+ is one of the most sophisticated 2-in-1 mop and robot vacuum cleaners available today. It features an elegant, self-emptying Clean Base which can be used to store up to two mopping cycles. It's designed to look like a desk. It is also the only robot we have tested with an onboard reservoir that automatically washes and refills the pads for cleaning after each mopping and vacuum cycle.
The mopping arm is placed on top of the unit. It lowers when it spots hard surfaces, and starts to scrub. It is able to move slowly and with care over surfaces to make sure it doesn't accidentally spill wet mud or spills across carpeted areas. It does a great job of staying clear of the path of furniture, cords, and other obstacles.
The iRobot Home App is smarter than many robot vacuums. It allows you to customize the settings of your cleaner, prioritize rooms based on dirtiness, schedule cleaning times and more.

This robot-vac and mop uses iRobot's Imprint Smart Mapping technology to recognize objects, such as counters, sofas and tables. It can also be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to ensure that your home is clean and tidy.
In contrast to other mopping and vacuum robots, the Roomba J9+ is able to create an entire map of your home seven times faster than previous models and categorizes each area by floor type, ensuring that it'll always remember to mop or vacuum the area you want. It also comes with a brand new Turbo Mode which boosts suction power for those tough spots. With iRobot’s Dirt Detective it can learn about your cleaning habits to adjust the cleaning priorities and settings to the dirtiest areas of your home.

In terms of navigation in terms of navigation, the M12 uses LiDAR, IR, and 3D structured light to avoid obstacles. Its sensors are adept at finding larger objects, such as HVAC vents and furniture. They can struggle to detect smaller objects like cables or small rags. This can cause robots to miss certain areas.
The M12 also has the ability to detect and navigate through stairs with its built-in inclinometer. It can also automatically return to its OMNI station to wash and dry mop brushes and replenish its water tanks.

Its mop cleans itself between uses, which lowers maintenance costs and helps keep its pads clean. A dock sensor detects when a mop's pad becomes dirty and initiates a wash cycle.
The S8 MaxV Ultra, like its predecessors, has an intelligent system which can detect household items such as pet waste and shoes using a combination of a camera and LIDAR. It performed well during our obstacle avoidance test with only one hiccup (it was stuck while unwinding a ball of wool that was wrapped around its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with a suction force of 10,000pa which is more than two times more powerful than its predecessor. This makes it a great choice for homes with lots of carpeting and a variety of flooring kinds. The vacuum can be programmed to automatically increase the suction when it moves over dust or crumbs.

5. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro is an amazingly powerful vacuum and mop combo that has been designed to be easy for users. The gunmetal base station fills up its own tank of clean water, then empty the dust bin into a smaller container, and washes and drys its own mop pads during cleaning sessions. It also has an advanced feature set that lets it switch between rugs and hard effectively removing dirt and pet hair from carpets, and clear the thresholds of rooms that are raised.
The S1 Pro has excellent navigation and mapping capabilities, thanks to its internal dToF system. It can keep an unobtrusive appearance while providing excellent object detection. It is able to drive close to walls and avoid steps without crashing. It also raises the mop when driving on short-pile carpets. It struggled a bit when it came across longer-pile carpets as well as some long, thick messes with dried-on debris.
Like all robots that are available, the S1 Pro comes ready to take off from the box and only requires an initial mapping session to learn its way around your home. Once it's done the map will be displayed in the app and rooms can be added or merged when needed. You can also set virtual boundaries as well as no-go or no-mop zones if there's something you don't want the robot to be able to touch.
The S1 Pro does a great job of removing messes from hard floors due to its rotating mop head that puts 2.2lbs (1kg) of downward pressure on the floor. Its ability to vacuum and mop makes it an ideal option for homes with both types of flooring but its dependence on a Eufy-branded cleaning product (which is included in the box) can make it less flexible than other robots that allow you create your own solutions.
