No one likes mopping. From buckets full of dirty water to unsanitary (and gross) mop fibers, it's a labor-intensive chore that's in dire need of an upgrade. Thankfully, robot mops are here to make your life easier. All you have to do is fill up the tank, press start, and let them run. You can control some of them via your phone or voice and some even double as robot vacuums.
We've rounded up the best models we've tested here, along with some buying tips to help you keep your floors sparkling.

Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
Best Mop and Vacuum HybridWhy We Picked It
The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni uses two circular mopping pads and an internal water reservoir to scrub your floors. As a hybrid, it offers an impressive 8,000 Pa of suction power when vacuuming. Plus, it can sense carpets and area rugs and switch modes automatically, lifting the mopping pads out of the way when it leaves hard floors. Its built-in AI and many sensors help it map and navigate quickly, and when it’s done, it heads back to the base station where it empties its own dustbin, and then washes and dries its own mop.
Put it all together, and the Deebot X2 Omni is the most advanced, hands-off floor cleaner we’ve ever tested, and it’s feature rich with customizable cleaning options, security camera functionality, and a built-in voice assistant. Thanks to its improved suction, mop-lifting functionality, and hot water mop washing, it takes this spot from its predecessor, the X1 Omni, and wins our Editors’ Choice.
Who It’s For
If you don’t want to put any effort toward cleaning your floors, and you’re willing to pay for that convenience, then the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni should be at the top of your list. It scrubs and cleans well and navigates efficiently, so it works in homes with lots of room and plenty of floor space. It also handles pet hair without tangles in case you have furry roommates.
The Roborock and Roomba hybrids on this list have their own advantages, but the Deebot X2 Omni is the most self-sufficient of the bunch thanks to its wealth of features and its penchant for cleaning itself between runs. The midrange Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni makes sense if you're trying to save money, but if you can swing it, we prefer the premium X2 Omni which offers more powerful suction, home security camera functionality, and lifts the mop higher.
Pros
- D shape for better corner, edge cleaning
- 8,000Pa of suction power
- Hot-water mop washing
- Lifts mop over carpet
- Built-in security camera and voice assistant
- Efficient cleaning and mapping
- AI obstacle avoidance
Cons
- May still dampen carpet
- Occasionally gets stuck
- Shorter battery life than predecessor
Learn MoreEcovacs Deebot X2 Omni ReviewRoborock S7 MaxV Ultra
Best Scrubbing PerformanceWhy We Picked It
The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra stands alongside the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni as one of the most hands-off floor-cleaning robots. Like Ecovacs' competitor, this high-end hybrid can clean itself after it vacuums and mops your floors, so it's always ready for the next run. The S7 MaxV Ultra scrubs a bit more than the Deebot X2 Omni when mopping, but it doesn't have a voice assistant or a built-in hot-air mop dryer. If you can swing it, we suggest pairing this model with Roborock's optional $100 hot air dryer attachment that can prevent bacteria and odors on the mopping pad. The S7 MaxV Ultra boasts Roborock's VibraRise mop-lifting technology, which is also available on the more affordable Roborock S7+, though the Roomba Combo j7+'s fully retractable mop is a better implementation of this feature.
Who It's For
If you're choosing between the S7 MaxV Ultra and the X2 Omni, go with the former if your hard flooring tends to collect grime. Roborock's model uses sonic vibration technology to scrub your floors 3,000 times per minute, whereas the X2 Omni's circular mopping pads spin at just 180 revolutions per minute. Both robots left our test floors streak-free and shiny, but the S7 MaxV Ultra offers a bit more mopping power, so it's slightly better at deep cleaning. We prefer this model over the newer Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, which has a non-removable mop mount and slightly scratched our floors in testing.
Pros
- Self-washing and refilling mop
- Self-emptying dustbin
- AI-powered obstacle avoidance
- Carpet sensor and mop-lifting feature
- Best-in-class mopping performance
- Works as a security camera with two-way audio
- Can install/remove mop bracket while robot is docked
Cons
- Expensive
- Large base
- No hot-air mop-drying
- Smaller water tanks and dust bag than top competitor
- Camera doesn't point outward when robot docks

Best for GermaphobesWhy We Picked It
Although Bissell has been making upright wet and dry vacuums for years, the SpinWave Wet and Dry is its first hybrid model. It works quickly and quietly, reliably sucking up pet hair and dust from hard floors and low-pile carpeting. Swap out the dustbin for a wet tank, and the robot zips around hard floors, scrubbing them clean with its dual spinning mopping pads. Bissell also offers several different cleaning solutions for this robot including multi-surface, pet multi-surface with Febreze, and sanitizing formulas. The SpinWave Wet and Dry can also automatically detect and avoid carpeting and area rugs during mopping runs.
Who It's For
If you're in the market for a budget-friendly hybrid that works best as a mop, the Bissell SpinWave Wet and Dry is a top choice. It lacks some features available on pricier models, including home mapping abilities, voice control support, and self-emptying, but it offers better mopping performance than most other two-in-one robots in this price range because of its spinning microfiber pads and support for sanitizing and deodorizing cleaning solutions. We recommend this model for homes with pets or very grimy hard flooring.
Pros
- Mops and vacuums
- Works with cleaning solution
- Automatically avoids carpet when mopping
- Quiet
Cons
- No mapping features or voice control
- Robot got stuck on some furniture in testing
Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI
Best Battery LifeWhy We Picked It
This feature-rich hybrid vacuums and mops, and uses AI to successfully detect and avoid obstacles that halt many other robots. Ecovacs even claims the robot’s simultaneous vacuuming and mopping functionality allows it to remove up to 99.26% of bacteria when it cleans your floors with plain water. In testing, the bot had no problem passing over the transition strips between flooring types and did a good job of avoiding carpet when it was mopping. It also has the longest battery life of any model on this list (170 minutes per charge) and doubles as a roving home security camera you can control from your phone.
Who It's For
Ecovacs' former flagship robotic floor cleaner is still an excellent choice for those with a mix of hard flooring and carpet. And, because it's a couple of years old at this point, you can now snag it at a discount. The Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI's exceptional battery life and obstacle avoidance abilities make it a particularly compelling option for those with large homes and cluttered floors. If you can swing it, we highly suggest adding the Ozmo Pro oscillating mopping accessory ($99.99), which vibrates at up to 480 times per minute to better tackle set-in stains, plus offers a larger water tank that allows it to cover 2,000 square feet.
Pros
- Automatically recognizes and avoids obstacles
- Exceptional battery life
- Allows for remote home monitoring with built-in camera
- Supports virtual boundaries
- Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice support
Cons
- Expensive
- Mops with water, not cleaning solution
- Moderate learning curve
- Auto-Empty Station is sold separately

Best Standalone Robot MopWhy We Picked It
Made by one of the most respected names in the robotic floor cleaner market, the iRobot Braava Jet m6 is among the best standalone robot mops. When it is mopping, the m6 sprays a specific area with a cleaning solution (or plain water) and goes over it a few times before moving on and repeating the process, picking up a lot more dirt and grime than we expected. It can detect and automatically avoid carpeting, and it rarely gets stuck. Moreover, it's easy to use, supports app and voice control, and maps out your home for targeted room cleaning.
Who It's For
The Braava Jet m6 is an excellent standalone robot mop if you have mostly hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring. With long battery life and the ability to cover 1,000 square feet in a session, the m6 is suitable for both apartments and larger homes. It's also a nice addition if you already own an iRobot Roomba i, j, or s series robot vacuum. You can link them in the app and configure the mop to start a run once the vacuum finishes cleaning your floors.
Pros
- Quiet.
- Small.
- Solid navigation capabilities.
- Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Cons
- Expensive.
- Deep stains still require some elbow grease.

Best Mop-Lifting TechnologyWhy We Picked It
The iRobot Roomba Combo j7+ is the first floor-cleaning robot with a fully retractable mop. When it detects carpet, the robot automatically lifts its mopping plate out of the way, rests it on top of the device, and continues vacuuming. This allows the pricey 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop hybrid to complete both tasks in a single cleaning run.
A common critique about Roborock's similar VibraRise system, available on the S7+ and later models, is that it only raises the mop 5mm and may still wet your medium- and high-pile rugs. iRobot's Roomba Combo j7+ solves this problem by lifting the mopping plate to the top of the robot, where it has no risk of touching your carpets.
Who It's For
Because it has all the features of the standard Roomba j7+–a self-emptying dustbin, AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and a poop-evasion guarantee–in addition to mopping abilities, the Combo j7+ is an excellent option for homes with a mix of hard floors and carpeting. Some high-end competitors on this list offer more scrubbing oomph and require less mop maintenance, but the Combo j7+ is a top choice for efficient double-duty cleaning runs.
Pros
- Vacuums and mops
- Retractable mop prevents carpet wetting
- Excellent obstacle avoidance
- Pet waste-avoidance guarantee
- Auto-empty base
- Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands
- Supports virtual Keep Out, No Mop, and Clean zones
- User-friendly companion app
Cons
- One unit malfunctioned in testing
- Mop tank requires manual refilling each time
- Scrubs less than some competitors

Best Midrange Mop and Vacuum HybridWhy We Picked It
Hybrid two-in-one robotic floor cleaners that can vacuum and mop tend to be better at one task than another. The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo N8 Pro+ is equally adept at both. The N8 Pro+ transitions from a vacuum to a mop in two simple steps: just fill its water tank and pop on the mopping plate. On mopping runs, the N8 Pro+ does an excellent job of automatically avoiding carpeting and area rugs. After a couple of passes with just water, the robot's mopping pad was visibly dirty and our floors looked and felt a lot cleaner in testing. Its battery life falls short of the Ozmo T8 AIVI, but it has stronger suction power and comes with a self-emptying base station. And, although it lacks some of the conveniences of the Deebot X2 Omni, including the ability to wash and dry its mopping cloth, the N8 Pro+ offers solid performance for a lot less money.
Who It's For
The Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo N8 Pro+ excels at both mopping and vacuuming, making it an excellent choice for homes with multiple flooring types. In testing, it had no problem traversing tile, laminate, and carpet, or the transition strips that separate them. With 2,600Pa of suction power and the ability to empty its own dustbin into a hypoallergenic bag, it's also a compelling option for allergy sufferers and pet owners.
Pros
- Vacuums and mops
- Includes self-emptying dustbin
- Strong suction power
- Automatically detects carpet
- Supports virtual boundaries, schedules, and zone cleaning
- Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
Cons
- Expensive
- Minor mapping issues in testing
- Average battery life

Best for Scrubbing WallsWhy We Picked It
The Samsung Jetbot Mop is an innovative cleaning tool that doubles as a floor and wall scrubber. It can help you check two of the most tedious cleaning tasks off of your to-do list: mopping your floors and washing your shower or bathtub. Simply fill its two tanks with water (and a bit of cleaning solution, if you want), pop on the mopping pads, use the included remote to select a cleaning mode, then sit back and relax as it scrubs your floors. It has a compact design that allows it to autonomously maneuver around obstacles with ease, and it's short enough that it won't get stuck under furniture. It works quickly and truly makes your floors shine (if you use a bit of cleaning solution). Once your floors are clean, you can head over to the bathroom, pick the lightweight robot up by its handle, and let its spinning pads bear the brunt of the effort in washing your walls.
Who It's For
If you hate mopping and also happen to loathe cleaning the shower, tub, or any other similar surface, the Samsung Jetbot Mop might be the robotic helper of your dreams. Because of the two spinning pads on the bottom and a handle on top, this versatile robot can scrub the gunk off of tile, vinyl, laminate, or hardwood floors with little help on your part. As mentioned, it also doubles as a handheld cleaning tool for washing your walls. It doesn't offer some of the perks of pricier competitors, such as app or voice control, but it's still worth a spot on your short list because of its niche capabilities.
Pros
- Easy to set up and use
- Compact design with two large, spinning mopping pads
- Features a Hand Mode to clean walls
- Moves quickly and has no trouble switching between floor types
- Eight floor-cleaning modes
Cons
- No app or voice control
- Doesn't always avoid area rugs and carpeting

Buying Guide: The Best Robot Mops for 2024
Which Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo Works Best?
Every robot mop shares a few things in common. They generally come with reservoirs you need to fill up with water or cleaning solution, and microfiber cloths that scrub your floors and pick up dirt. They also feature sensors to help them autonomously navigate around your furniture.
Robot mops generally come in one of two flavors: single-purpose or hybrid. Single-purpose mops, like the iRobot Braava Jet m6, can't vacuum your floors. Some can, however, perform a dry sweep to clear the area before they start mopping.
Hybrid models, as you might expect, can mop and vacuum. They typically have attachments for microfiber cloths that wipe or scrub your floors as the robot runs around your home. Some feature an interchangeable dustbin and water tank, and don't require any presoaking before cleaning. iRobot, one of the biggest names in robot vacuums and mops, stuck with single-purpose devices for a long time before finally entering the hybrid fray in 2022 with the Roomba Combo j7+.
Hybrid models are typically more expensive, but they're also more likely to have features like app control via your phone, voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and even interactivity with other smart home devices.
We note which models are hybrids in our reviews and test their functionality accordingly. To easily see which models we've selected here are hybrids, check out the table toward the bottom of this page.
How We Test Robot Mops
We test robot mops in our actual homes, keeping the following criteria in mind: battery life, navigation, ease of setup and operation, and performance.
The whole point of robotic cleaners is to let them do the work for you. Having to intervene defeats the purpose. To that end, we look to see whether the robot can handle different floor types such as tile and wood with equal ease. We also check to see if it avoids textiles like rugs and carpeting, or if it comes with peripheral features like virtual walls (or app controls) to make this easier.
Battery life is also important; the size of your home determines what is sufficient. The longer the robot mop can run on one charge, the better it is for larger homes. We consider a battery life of 60 minutes to be sufficient for small homes and apartments, though, ideally, we like to see results in the 90-minute range. To test battery life, we fully charge the robot before running a cleaning cycle. We then let it clean for as long as it takes to completely run down the battery.
Setup is another factor we consider. Most involve charging your robot and filling up water tanks. Once again, you want these processes to be as simple as possible. And although not every robot mop works with an app, hybrid models often do. In these instances, we check to see how intuitive the app is and what benefits it brings to the table.
Lastly, and most importantly, we check to see how well a robot mop cleans in real-life conditions. We consider things such as whether it uses a cleaning solution or water only. We see how well it tackles dry stains versus wet on a variety of surfaces. We also check that it doesn't scuff tile or wood, and at the end of every cleaning session, we examine the microfiber cloth to see how dirty it gets.
Are Robot Mops Worth It?
As with robot vacuums, robot mops do a sufficient job of keeping your floors clean, but they aren't complete substitutes for a little elbow grease. They're great for maintenance and fresh spills. Deep-set stains, however, still likely require a bit of manual scrubbing.
Robot mops are still a growing category. See our reviews for a detailed analysis of each model listed here, and check back soon, because we're reviewing new ones all the time. When you find the right one for you, check out our top tips for robot vacuums, many of which also apply to mops.
