How to Choose a Robot Hoover and Mop

Some robot mops also double as vacuums, whereas others combine mopping and sweeping. Those that only sweep need to have their bins regularly emptied and their sweeping pads discarded or machine-washed.

It is also essential to regularly wash (or replace) mop heads for those who mop. It is also important to secure your home with a vacuum and keep things like cords, clothes and pet toys away from reach.

How it works

The most important component of a robot vacuum is its motor, which generates suction power to pull dirt and other debris into the vacuum bag. Some robot cleaners come with combination roller brushes, side brushes and mops to move particles and lift them into the suction. Some come with smart features, like the ability to automatically return to the dock once it's full and then recharge. Certain models have voice activation and smart home integration. You can control the machine with your smartphone's app or favorite assistant.

Sensors assist robots in navigating their surroundings, avoiding obstacles and tight corners. Common sensors include cliff and obstacle sensors, which prevent the robot from falling down stairs or getting stuck underneath furniture. Some robots come with dirt sensors that inform you when the robot is dirty and needs to be cleaned. Many advanced robot mop and vacuum models come with many smart features, including smart mapping and smart mops that can distinguish between carpets and hard floors.

Some robot vacuums that also have mops come with docking stations that automatically empty the bin and clean mop pads, then refill the water. They may also be able of performing dual tasks, combining mopping and vacuuming in the same session. They can also be set up to clean a particular space or part of your house on a regular schedule. For instance, you could program your robot to vacuum and clean the living area every morning and evening throughout the week.

Most mop and robot vacuum mop cleaner robot combinations are still under development, despite their advanced features. The top mop and robot vacuums such as the Eufy Narwal or Roborock Revo are intelligent enough to keep your floors tidy. The robots utilize lidar maps to separate rooms, label them and define digital keep-out zones. Their apps are easy to use and feature plenty of options for customization including the option to select the cleaning mode you want your robot to carry out. They also have an exclusive onboard compression bin that can eliminate the noise and mess of self-emptying.

Cleaning time

The time it takes to clean a space can be affected by the amount of obstacles the robot faces. The time needed to clean a room can also be affected if the robot has to move around obstacles such as shoes, furniture, socks, tassels or even rooms that are overcrowded.

Some robotic vacuums and mop systems can sense carpets, and alter their power settings to suit. However, they may leave behind some dirt, especially on high-pile or shag rugs. Certain models require more power to maneuver through carpets that are thick, which can drain batteries more quickly.

Other aspects can affect the performance of a robot, such as the condition of its equipment and the frequency at which it has to be serviced. A tangled brush could stop the robot vacuum cleaner from performing its task. A filthy or full-blown filter could cause it to overheat or even cut off connection to the Internet.

ECOVACS robots come with smart features that reduce the use of accessories and prolong their lifespan. Self-emptying stations reduce the chance of overflows, while ZeroTangle technology helps prevent the tangles that can form on brushes. These technologies, in conjunction with smart mapping and intelligent sensors enable ECOVACS robots to operate more efficiently.

All ECOVACS robots feature an auto-refill feature that automatically fills the tank of water and wiper blades if they are empty and also feature automatic vacuum cleaner and mop docking to save energy and time. You can program them to return to the dock after cleaning or to go into sleep mode after ten minutes of inactivity. If you wish for the robot to skip certain time periods, you can set it to DND (Do Not Disturb) period, which will stop it from using the battery or going back to cleaning mode until you restart it.

We suggest that you sweep the floor yourself prior to running your robot's cleaner. This will ensure any sticky or sloppy spills are cleaned up prior to the robot arrives. You should also clean up toys and small objects prior to the robot's arrival, to avoid getting tangled.

Cleaning Area

Unlike vacuum-only models, robots that have mopping functions usually employ cleaning detergents and water to remove stains from the floor. The brushes or pads that hold dirt must be regularly cleaned or machine-washed. Replacements may also be required at some point. This means you'll have to include these costs in your budget.

Despite these disadvantages, an automated mop and vacuum combo is a great addition to your household's cleaning equipment. For instance, if have carpets along with hard flooring, the robot can vacuum them and then mop any remaining spots of dirt which aren't eliminated by simply sweep. If you have both wood floors and tiles the robot will ensure that there aren't any stray stones left behind in the mopping process, and that tiles aren't damaged by water or cleaning solution.

A good mopping robot has a navigation system which maps out each area automatically and knows precisely where it has to go in order to complete the task. It should also be able stay clear of obstacles, like furniture and wires. It's recommended to select a model that has clever features that allow you to monitor your cleaning robot, like live-streamed dashboards that show the performance of a mopping routine and an app that lets you set "no-go zones" to ensure that it doesn't move through those areas.

The best automatic vacuum robots are also programmable to clean at specific times. They can be set through the app or you can use your smartphone as remote control to direct the robot to where it needs to be on the floor. Based on your preferences you can also go for features such as smart track which allows the robot to follow you around your home and clean in the direction you're walking.

It's important to consider the option to check the amount of accessories that your robot's cleaner has used. This will allow you to plan when you should replace them. This information is accessible through the Home Robots app and based on how many cleaning runs the items have been used for. The information is updated at regular intervals and is a valuable tool for making sure that your home is always equipped to clean.

Cleaning Results

The majority of robot vacuums and mops are easy to use and do an excellent job of cleaning, but some models excel at one task or another. For instance, the iRobot Braava 450 robotic mop is one of the best mops we've tested thanks to its remarkable cleaning and scrubbing performance on all kinds of floors, including wood floors. It also does a fantastic job of getting rid of debris, short and long pet hair, and dirt from crevices and corners. Its ability to navigate around obstructions makes it a great choice for homes that have pets and children.

Some mops, such the Noesis Florio, use disposable pads that are automatically washed and refilled at the dock at the end of each cleaning run. Others, such as the L20 Ultra, use reusable pads that can be machine washed and can be reused for up to 20 times. It's important to avoid putting any other chemicals, such as laundry detergent or floor cleaner for example, into the robot's water tank unless the manufacturer specifies it's safe. This could harm the internal components of the machine and void your warranty.

If you choose a robot mop with advanced features, look for one that is able to detect and avoid obstacles like walls and furniture edges. It must also be able to differentiate between floors that are unfinished and carpets with low pile so that it doesn't saturate the carpet. Certain models come with sensors that can detect spills or stains, which helps keep the floor looking great. The most expensive models are able to return to the dock to dump dirty cleaning water, clean the brushes and refill the solution.

The Home Robots app is a handy tool for controlling your robot mop and vacuum and offers a variety of additional features, such as monitoring your cleaning results. You can view the amount of time and distance your robot has covered, which rooms it has cleaned, and when it was in each space. You can also define "no-go zones" to prevent the robot from entering certain areas, and adjust the levels to accommodate different flooring types.

All robot vacuums and mops require regular maintenance, such as emptying the bin and cleaning the filter and changing filters and bags. In addition, you'll need to clean the sensors regularly for better navigation, and empty and rinse the water tank. Also, you'll need to remove clogs and tangles from the brush roll and other components, particularly on combo units with a vacuum mop.
