The ECOVACS Deebot N8 Pro+ Robot Vacuum and Mop blew us away in The Lab with its powerful vacuuming and smart mopping capabilities, and that's why it's our top pick. With one purchase, you can knock two cleaning chores off your list and move on to doing something (anything!) more fun than cleaning your floors.

Our lab tester was surprised that the ECOVACS Deebot N8 Pro+ mopped up all of our coffee and syrup spills while only leaving a little bit of residue behind. While many features of this vacuum-mop combo involve hands-free cleaning, our tester noted that you do have to manually clean the scrub brushes after mopping. Besides its stellar mopping abilities, the Deebot N8 Pro+ expertly navigated and maneuvered through our obstacle course of couches and tables, and it was careful to take in the perimeters of the room before beginning its clean. This kind of smart technology is what keeps your baseboards and furniture safe from unnecessary robot mop bumps and run-ins.

This appliance also self-empties when in vacuum mode; plus, it smart maps your space and has obstacle avoidance technology. In our lab testing, it successfully avoided a sock, but it sucked up the USB cord, so in the real world, it likely won't avoid extra-small obstacles. We don't consider this a huge downside since robot appliances with obstacle avoidance usually don't detect cords. While the noise level of this robot vacuum and mop didn't bother our lab tester, she did note that it was extremely loud when self-emptying, so you likely wouldn't want to run it if a child was napping.

Following our initial lab test, we sent the ECOVACS Deebot N8 Pro+ to a long-term home tester for further evaluation. While we didn't test the app setup in The Lab, our tester reported that this process was very easy; she scanned a QR code, which led her to the app for downloading, and followed simple step-by-step guidance to begin mapping the layout in her home.

After one month of consistent use, our home tester raved about this device's "perfect" performance. She loved the time she saved by running both mopping and vacuuming functions simultaneously and that this combo device always recognized the surface correctly and mopped only on non-carpeted areas. The only major mopping drawback our tester shared is that she wished she could use her own cleaning solution in the water tank. ECOVACS recommends only water to prevent clogging.

The ECOVACS Deebot T10+ is another incredible option for squeaky clean floors. When it comes to robot vacuum and mop combos, this was closely rated as our Best Overall pick, but the price point is much higher at some retailers. That being said, the higher price point is accompanied by amazing cleaning power, and we've also seen markdowns that make it nearly comparable to its peers at times.

In The Lab, our tester noted that the robot mop was "actually scrubbing back and forth," as opposed to just lightly mopping the floor for a surface clean. He also appreciated that the device seemed methodical in its cleaning method and didn't randomly mop the area. The T10+ mop cleaned up our coffee and syrup spills extremely well, leaving only a little bit of residue behind when picking up the syrup spill.

The Deebot T10+ also features obstacle avoidance, which is the latest technology in helping you achieve a safe, hands-free clean. In our lab testing, this machine successfully avoided a sock but sucked up a USB cord, so the technology isn't perfect, but it's getting there. Our long-term home tester saw similar inconsistent results with navigation after using this robot vacuum and mop for one month. In the tester's home, this device had trouble over rugs, often crumpling them, and clearing door thresholds.

Our long-term home tester also shed light on this machine's smart mapping technology through the companion mobile app. While the app was relatively simple to download and set up, the tester said it offered no guidance on the various settings, which left her guessing and tapping around for answers. Our long-term tester also indicated that setting up accurate floor mapping wasn't easy to do or correct if the device missed certain areas. Still, the tester appreciated its overall quiet operating volume, the dual mopping and vacuuming functionality, and the convenient (but loud) self-emptying feature.

Best Budget

iRobot Braava Jet 240 Washable Pad Robotic Mop

View On Amazon View On Bloomingdales

The iRobot Braava jet 240 will clean your floors at half the price of other models. This robot mop packs a powerful punch for being the smallest and least expensive robot mop on our list. This model isn't a hybrid. It's a mop-only robot mop. It also doesn't include any notable smart features, but if you're looking for a small robot mop to surface clean your kitchen floors regularly, this is an excellent choice. Just press the "Clean" button, and it will get to work.

We didn't test this robot mop in The Lab, but for the price point, we think it's worth including. The Braava jet 240 has a 7-inch cleaning path width and is small enough to easily clean around table legs, against walls, and under furniture. The precision jet spray ensures that not too much water is sprayed on the floors, and it’s smart enough to avoid carpeted areas and rugs.

This iRobot Braava can use fresh-scent wet mopping pads, damp sweeping pads, or dry sweeping pads—all of which are disposable. You won't have to worry about washing your mop pads, but you will have to purchase the refill pads separately. There are newer models in the iRobot Braava jet series that can pair with your Roomba to work together to vacuum and mop your floors. But again, for the price point, this is an excellent mop-only option.

The Narwal Freo is, by most definitions, an investment. But, as our tester put it, "It's not just a bunch of bells and whistles that sound like a good idea...This is exactly how you would want a robot to work." Before using it at home, our tester acknowledged that she was a bit skeptical of this machine's potential to perform both mopping and vacuuming well. After trying it, she was "very pleasantly surprised, especially from what I have seen from other robot mops on the market." The robot's ability to navigate around her holiday display, and efficiently clean her floor without leaving water or residue behind that soaked or damaged gift boxes was, as she put it, "pretty amazing!"

Along with its overall effectiveness at both wet and dry cleaning, one of her favorite features included its subtle operation. "This is one of the quietest robot vacuums I have been around," she said. "I was in the same room as this when it was both vacuuming and mopping and could watch TV at a normal level. It was not intrusive whatsoever to have running in the same room people are in." She was also pleased with the Freo's drying capabilities, and noted that "the mop did not leave the room soaking wet, I was shocked how fast the floors dried."

As impressive as the machine is, it's worth noting that the set-up process wasn't entirely intuitive. "Getting the robot to connect to the app wasn't as easy because the app has to be on all the time during the set up," she explained. "It would have been helpful to know the app needed to be running in the background at [all] times, it took us about an hour to figure why this wasn't setting up." However, once they worked through the issue and connected with customer service, the mapping and scheduling turned out to be "super slick and amazing to use." Other potential hiccups for buyers might include the lack of self-empty (there's a one-touch button process instead) and the ongoing cost of refill solutions. However, we see those as minor issues compared to the overall impressive performance and effective features it offers.

The eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid Robot Vacuum and Mop has two twin turbines that work to suck up pet hair and debris, making it an excellent choice for households with furry friends. It's also extremely quiet, so if you have animals that are sensitive to noise, they'll appreciate this robot vacuum-mop combo, too.

In our lab testing, we found that the RoboVac X8 Hybrid mopped up all of our spilled syrup and coffee, but it leaked a little once it completed the job. Unfortunately, this is fairly common in robot mops, so we didn't dock too many points for that mistake. Our lab tester loved that this model spoke when it turned on, off, and paused, making it simple to use, and how quiet it was.

Our long-term home tester also appreciated the quiet volume after one month of consistent use—and the user-friendly app that makes the X8 Hybrid more convenient to use. This tester said downloading and setting up the app was straightforward and highlighted how the app created a map after an initial cleaning run, allowing her to designate certain areas as restricted. Our long-term tester found this feature essential for blocking off spaces for spot cleaning, avoiding tricky layouts, or asking the X8 Hybrid to tidy a specific room or rooms, a request that's easy to make from the app.

While our home tester appreciated the intuitive app and excellent pet hair, dust, and dirt-cleaning abilities, the mopping function was slightly less impressive. The primary recommendation is to use water, and the tester reported the X8 Hybrid releases a very thin layer of liquid for mopping and did not blow her away. However, if you prefer using a cleaning solution with this feature and don't mind the added expense, you can purchase Eufy's model-approved cleaner for a safe and potentially more effective mopping experience.

The Yeedi Vac Station Robot Vacuum and Mop boasts a 200-minute run time, so it's ideal for cleaning larger homes. In our lab testing, it also successfully avoided carpeting and rugs when it was in mopping mode, which is an excellent feature if you have various flooring types in your home. We also found that it's an excellent mop and a fairly good vacuum.

Our lab tester found the online instructions a little difficult to locate since the quick start guides on the website didn't include any model numbers. Once she figured out how to operate the machine, she was impressed that it mopped up our coffee and syrup spills with ease, leaving only a little bit of residue behind. Perhaps the most notable feature we noted during lab testing is this mop's quiet operation. If you have a large home, operating a loud robot vacuum and mop for a long period of time could become tiresome, but this appliance is relatively quiet.

In addition to our in-lab test, we asked a long-term home tester to report how this vacuuming and mopping combo device performed over the course of a month. Like our lab tester, the home tester noted difficulty with the initial setup. For the home tester, the main challenge was connecting the Yeedi to Wi-Fi. While the connection seemed to be successful, ultimately, she had to reset the device and download a firmware update before the app could connect to the machine and map her home. Once it did, the tester said the Yeedi became her preferred cleaning device (over a Dyson Animal V8) because of the effective mapping.
