20 Best Cordless Vacuum Mop Combo (Jan 2023 Update)

Very convenient to use these smart devices and a dual action mop and sweep is a plus.,The machine works and picks up dirt , however it lacks intelligence. It keeps on rotating in the same area forever. Even when I use the remote it keeps on turning back to where it wants. I basically fight and scream at this machine to stop rotating in the same place. It chooses corners and narrow spots to go under and then gets stuck and turns off. I sometimes forget the dogs water cup on the floor and there she goes to knock it off and spills water. Wires should be kept off the ground or it would devour them in a blink. I like this machine , but I wish it were a little smarter and not skipping the important areas and wanders as it like. It is still a better choice than mopping and sweeping on a daily basis .Sahar

This product has filled a hole in my life I didn't know I had. it works great. there is no app to mess with. There is a pretty good manual. set up is easy and it does everything I want it to. I was sweeping the house three times a day as we have no carpet to hide small dirt particles in. I was very opposed to getting a robotic vacuum for years. since working at home during the Pandemic the idea grew on me like a fungus. I didn't want to spend a fortune on something I probably wouldn't use much. I ordered this little Gem. as far as a vacuum it works great. it's really sucks, which is great when reviewing a vacuum. she moves effortlessly from room to room. she gets every spec of dust but she does take her time doing so. But you know what? It's her time. let her spend it doing what she was made to do as long as she likes. When done she goes back to her little place in the world to rest and recharge. I will say I removed a star due to the mopping feature. Don't get me wrong it works. and she does a pretty good job. but the patterns left behind on my laminate floors makes it look like Jackson Pollock programmed the mopping pattern. maybe she would do better on your floors. we do have to mop with the grain or every stroke shows up. The Bottom line is if you are contemplating getting a companion to sweep your floors this little girl is no joke. BTW….. the female references are due to naming her Rosie after the Jetsons Robot.Kevin

Works well with the remote to start and go back to dock. Have not had luck getting it to begin clean cycle on clock program, Probably because we use it in different rooms at different times and carry it to the room. Not everyone has wide open floor plan. It picks up pet hair and pieces of clay litter on hard surface floor. That is a huge assist! We like the Edge option if you want to have it go along the baseboards on hard floor surface especially in the high traffic areas such as the kitchen food prep area. It runs quietly. Advise to cleanse out tray after each use. The wet mop option works as well. May not need that every day unless you have tile you want wet mopped every day. You can find robot vacuums that are priced into $350.00 or more. They run on your phone program. But some reviews of those type indicate you’re opening your wifi and floor plan to other undesirable tracking elements. Comments and opinions are from a Robot Vac.newbie and not an expert. Find what suits your needs and budget.Sogal37

The robot works really well and is easy to use. The mop is good if you want a light clean since no soap can be used. I like that the dust bin is large and holds a good amount of dust and dirt before having to dispense. I am still learning to use the Mi Home app properly so it can map my home but overall I am happy with my purchase.V

Vacuum works great but it gets stuck under the fridge and dishwasher which I dont like. It senses the stairs so that was good. Didnt mop to good and it got stuck even more mopping than it does vacuuming. The app works ok but needs improvement with features and commands should have both for vacuum and mopping.queenvq

We were so excited about this being our first robot vacuum.. unfortunately it was a horrible experience. First it gets stock on everything, dishwasher , couch, chair. Secondly, it has no radar it runs into everything and then adjusts but doesn’t remember it for future cleans. Thirdly, the mop feature doesn’t work as efficient as it makes it seem. Then after we settled with all those problems it started shorting out just 20 days after purchase. Thankfully we can still return and get another brand. Not a quality product.Connor

Robot Vacuums – Ecovacs Deebot N8 Pro+ We recently decided it was time to add a new robot vac for the main house, due to a combination of new hardwood floors and a new labrador retriever. I have a neato from several years ago, but technology marches on, and neato is no longer the leader they once were. I looked at the iRobot Roombas, since they are the dominant brand, but felt that there were other options that were superior from both a performance and price perspective. I landed on the Deebot. It's smart, can empty itself, can return for charge and then resume the task, I can tell it what rooms to clean and in what order, and has a mopping attachment. It's not perfect, but it is pretty darn good.whysolonganickname

I purchased this vacuum/mop system to assist with making my life easier but the reality is it actually caused me more stress! PROS: quiet CONS: – constantly dropping wifi connection and when tried to restore via app it would get the entire way to the end of setup then throw an error code to start over – mapping feature is not accurate – not the best with picking up debris – have to add an accessory for the mop function and can only use water while mopping. I contacted the company regarding use of a cleaning product and was advised against it. – battery life not the best. The vacuum would constantly have to recharge before finishing and my space is not large. Overall I wanted to love this product because it is quieter vs my older robotic vacuum, however for the price I just could not justify keeping it due to all the reasons stated above. The vacuum would constantly stop saying to “check the drop sensor” orSavetheseaturtles

I bought a Bissell crosswave cordless max last year for Christmas because this was sold out. Originally I wanted this I did a lot of research and thought the Tineco one was far more advanced considering they had come out at the same time. My Bissell broke and again it hasn't even been a year I did not buy the warranty for it because I thought it would at least last a year. But I decided I'd buy my original choice and I'm far from disappointed. The issues I had with the Bissell I don't with this. Bissell was bad at streaking and would leave a puddle of water behind the brush roller was so soft it wouldn't pick up dried messes larger food bits would be pushed in front of the Bissell instead of being picked up. The Tineco one is streak free has a studier brush roller that makes picks up dried messes easily it is an auto mode machine so it distributes water and detects water never leaves a puddle behind large food objects like dog kibble gets picked up easily. I have a fairly high number of animals and a senior dog who doesn't have 100% bladder control so these machines are used day in day out. I recommend this to anyone its perfect for everyday use light to heavy messes.Alysun Lusty

I chose this thanks to the Vacuum Wars youtube channel. We used to have a Bissell Crosswave but it didn't last long at all. It started to smell pretty quickly and got clogged a lot (dog hair gang!) I assumed it was our habits so we bought a second one and the same thing happened again, even with more vacuuming and better Crosswave cleaning habits. This time I decided the extra money would be worth it and so far it definitely has been! The only con so far: the clean water tank really should be larger. We have a medium house, nothing large or fancy, and we can't even get through a full room (kitchen especially) without refilling the tank.Cam

Overall: I really love it! Easy to use, quick and sufficient; Great for daily use & for family with pet. I do list detailed limitations below but it solves my biggest problem (a quick daily cleanning) so I am still happy. Pros: – Battery is sufficient for 800-900 sq.ft – Capture pet (cat) hair, dust, and small trash on floor; great for daily clean; – Its design makes it easy to move; – Less noisy compared to Roomba/regular vacuum (but still not quite; just relatively quieter) ; Limitations: – The clean water tank is kind of small; requires refill if you use max clean mode or have a slower cleanning process; For dirty water tank, it's enough for cleanning process but usually require to dump all dirty water before its self-clean (so it does not over the dirty water limit) – It has clean gap (about 3cm/1.2 in) on the edge that its brush cannot reach so cannot work for near kitchen cabinet cleanning; also its wide brush design makes it hard to go into corners near toilet; – Its brush is designed not to hurt flooring which means it also cannot do deep cleanning (e.g. clean out stains on tile grout) – Cleaning dirty water tank can be nasty if you have pet and long hair;Ali

This little baby is an absolute game changer! With pets and people through the house all day, there has always been the chore of yet another floor vacuum looming. Oh my goodness .that daily chore has been wiped off the list! Instead I have taken great delight in making a coffee and sitting down to watch this wonderful little maid complete it all for me !!! It does a great job, zooming around sucking up all the mess, yet also gently manoeuvres its way around chair legs and obstacles without causing any chaos. And I have to say, one of the best things is that it cleans under the bed!!!! No more do I have to get down there in awkward positions trying to manoeuvre the vacuum stick underneath to clean all the dust! What a winner!!! Absolutely love it and am still so excited about being able to just set it and leave it to do its thingand I don't even have to put it away as when its finished, as it says clean completed and takes itself back to the charging station to charge and wait until the next time! The Deebot not only vacuums but mops as well. Very easy to set up, not terribly noisy and had no problems moving from the tiles to the wooden floor, the carpet or the rugs. Am really happy with the vacuum job it does and although I will still hand mop the floors once a week, the Deebot's mop saves me from having to mop more frequently and my floors stay looking clean and tidy with no effort thanks to this awesome little home helper!Lisa

N8 Pro has all the advanced features of a premium robot vacuum but at a fraction of the price. Suction strength is good for both hard floors and carpet. Carpet detection means it automatically increase suction power for carpets and the cleaning result is good. During the first use it maps out the house, this initial step does take a long time to complete. After the initial mapping, I can choose to clean the whole house or smaller designated areas and it does so in a much shorter amount of time.During vacuum, it has sensors to avoid things like slippers, socks or random items lying on the ground. It does this reasonably well but I did have a floor standing fan that the vacuum cleaner didn't recognise as an obstacle to avoid, so it climbs on to the fan base and it ends up getting stuck and gave an error. To elaborate, the fan base was shaped like a ramp so the robot vacuum thinks it can proceed onto the base instead of avoiding it. I've worked out the solution was to either remove the fan from the floor to be cleaned or I could create a virtual wall with the Ecovac cleaning app so the robot vacuum will avoid the fan. Noise level is lower than expected. It is definitely much quieter than my non-robot vacuum cleaners.Overall, it does everything the marketing material says it can do and I think it does map, clean and avoid obstacles rather well. Battery life could be better as a single charge is insufficient to clean the whole house for me. Ecovac T8 and T9 , which are the premium models come with the bigger battery capacity but they have a much higher price point. I was happy to settle for the smaller battery because the robot will return to recharge and then continue to clean from where it left off.anonymous

I purchased the N8 Pro after considering all the other models. I have to say that so far I am very impressed with how well it vacuums my hardwood floors and carpets. It has no trouble changing from hardwood to carpet and does a very decent job, a lot better than I expected. The mapping went well however it did take a while as it had to recharge before it finished off the mapping. The 3D Auto detection does a good job of avoiding obstacles along with my dogs that like to stand in its way. I also purchased the auto empty bin and I am so glad I did. I find that it makes it so fuss free and saves having to empty it each time. I now vacuum my hardwood floors in our living areas and the main bedroom every day and the entire house once a week and the floors look spotless. I tried the mopping function once and it was terrible, luckily the vacuuming makes up for its poor mopping ability. This model doesn't have the oscillating mop attachment so maybe it would work a lot better if it did. All in all it was well worth the purchase.Gail55

Like most folks these days I did some research before making this purchase. To be honest, there are so many robo vacuums both name brand named and unbrandes. This model is unique in that it both mops amd vacuums. Few actully do both. The price, comparitively speaking, is great compared to those that do leas amd cost twice as much. I am impressed with the job it does. Far above what i was hoping for. The mopping is amazing as well. The battery even lasts almost twice as long as advertised. I cannot think of a single negative attribute with this model. Im very pleased and will buy another when the time comes.MattMcG

This things is a life saver! Thankfully I purchased one, it helps where I don’t have to sweep as often. With dogs and kids it was just another chore and hassle . But I brought this vacuum and helps so much. It’s dumb at times and get stuck in corners, but I’ll be ok.amber.v

I loved how this valcume picked up. Wasn't impressed with the mop option. But I ended up returning it because the charger/ charging port started not working all the time. The return process has been horrible. First I had to wait for them to email me back, then was offered a discount if I used warranty and now its going to be 10 to 13 days to get my refund. If Wal-Mart is going to sale items on their page please back the product by allowing returns directly through you.laura

i was very skeptic when ordering this vacuum mop, compared to the crosswave. Well the Euerka is equally if not better then then the crosswave. The suction is remarkable, the cleaning is on point, the self clean mode is a bonus, the cord is long enought, the noise is reasonable , the dispense of water and cleaning solution is perfect and the cleaning of the two containers is easy. i really love this purhchase and for he price compared to others is a steal.sharzach-0

Hubby and I bought our roborock in Dec 2021 from Godfreys. She has been used every 2nd day (mopping and vacuming) for almost 5 months now with no issues other than general maintenance like wiping over her sensors. We DO NOT expect this machine to function as a full on vacume, but rather just to pick up the daily debris and leaves etc that our little dogs walk into the house and to be a quick mopping once over. We aren't overly messy people and don't have kids. Things we love: – She really cleans! – You can set up lines and walls in the app so she doesn't go near stairs etc (Though she does have the stairs function where she auto-senses that its a drop off and she will vacume along it but not fall off the edge- this is extremely anxiety inducing to witness lol) – The mopping and sweeping all happens from the same machine. Saves me having to run 2 and saves me having to vacume before i manually mop if i choose to though I haven't needed to at all yet because the robot does such a great job for me. (we have hardwood floors and no kids) -I love that she auto-docks herself and takes herself home when the battery gets low so that i don't have to bother doing it and that she can run while i'm not at home. – I like that she 'talks' and tells you whats wrong if something does go wrong. – She does a great job on carpets, we have her set to high suction on carpets and lower on the hardwood and she actually collects all the dust and debris rather than pushing it around like our vacume does on the hardwoods. – I love that you can schedule it for when you're home or not home – The app is pretty user friendly and the whole thing gets up and running in no time when you buy her new. – I LOVE that she is so tiny she can get under the oven and under the bed. Places that my vacume just can't get. The overall result is a much less dusty home – I like that you can see what she's up to or where she's stuck on the app even when you're not home. – I love that she auto senses walls and furniture and doesn't knock stuff over or leave scuff marks on the walls or furniture. Things that could be better – The walls and the "no go zones" are a bit hit and miss. Especially if you move furniture and she can then get in there. – ITS LOUD on full speed/high suction. Not nearly as loud as a regular vacume of course, but its extremely annoying when shes in the same room as you lol. (Having said that- I am an extra sensitive person and have noise rreactive ptsd so I am very likely over exadurrating how annoying it is. It really doesn't bother my husband at all) -I WISH it came with the auto-empty station. Ours gets full after 2 goes around our house (we have a big house though and she does every room). I often forget to empty her and a spoken reminder when the machine runs next would be nice or for a bundle deal when buying both. -When she mops, if you have anything powdery on the floor she may leave streaks of her every pass all over your floors. But this isn't really some thing to worry excessively about, it only happened to us because hubby left jiprock residue on the floor and then she cleaned lol. – She will eat ALL cords. You have to be EXTREMELY careful with phone charging cords, power cords and especially headphones, cos she WILL suck them up and get stuck and probably break them (she ate my senheizer headphones lol) – She will try to eat your curtains if they're sheers and sit on the floor lol. -The black version which we have shows dust badly on the top of her, just needs a frequent wipe down. – The little bin that holds the rubbish is tiny and its tedious as heck to try and empty it out completely, the housing for the filter means you can't just remove the filter and tip out the rubbish, you need to stand there and manually prize it out of all the little nooks and crannies. Not overly annoying but i wish the whole end just opened and then it'd all slide out and into the bin with minimal handling too, the way it is now, you have to pinch the fluff and dust goes flying everywhere. Overall though, I really love the little thing and she's saving my back and my vacumes life. She's extremely handy and i'll definitely buy this brand again if/when we need to upgrade.Penegeau

The marketing materials indicate this robot can map multiple floors and then know which floor its on. This isn't strictly true. This only works if the robot is unable to see another floor when it maps. I have a house with split levels. The robot is able to see all the split levels because its lidar bounces from the walls so the floors are mapped. However, if you move the robot into one of the split levels, it is completely lost. It isn't an option to create another map for the split level because you can only create one map for the same area. When I contacted the company about this, they suggested using a ramp to get the robot in and out of the split level areas. Kludged to say the least plus one of my split levels is approximately 2 ft lower than the main floor and the robot is incapable of climbing a ramp at that angle. They advised that the R&D department might find a fix, but no guarantees or timeline. I am also disappointed with the running time which, in my experience, is no where near the 3 hours quoted. After trawling through other's experiences on Reddit, I discovered that keeping the mop and water tank attached causes too much drag on the carpet, meaning the robot's battery drains quickly. To clean just one floor of my house on one charge, I have to vacuum the carpets first, then attach the mop and water tank and clean the hard floors. Again, this is a very different experience to what I expected because the marketing materials indicate the robot can do it all in one cycle. The only reason that I've given this robot 3 stars is because it does clean well, but I paid more for this robot than competitor models because of the multi floor mapping and mop/vacuum 'in one go' options. Neither of which work in my experience.Sophia C

I've been thinking about getting a robot hoover for a while now and I bought the Roborock finally! Super easy to set up – it needs to be placed in an area that has space on either side and in front of it to allow it to work effectively. Once the docking station is in place and the vacuum is on the dock it's as simple as downloading the dedicated app and following the instructions. It's simple and intuitive to set up and caused me no issues. Once you're all ready to go I suggest letting it fully charge before setting it to work. In order to get the best out of the vacuum let it do a few 'map runs' before starting cleaning. This basically means he moves about your house learning about your environment and creating a virtual map – he does this without cleaning so it's faster. After the mapping run my full downstairs was mapped out and ready to clean. A really good feature is that you can draw exclusions zones and also zones where you want extra cleaning such as a high traffic area – this has worked well for me as I excluded the area around my cat food bowls so the vacuum doesn't eat any wet cat food! If you're looking for a robot vacuum look no further – save the extra money for the Roborock and don't settle for a substandard product. I don't hoover my house anymore because this guy does it for me and does a far better job than I ever could!Michele

I'm pleased with this all in one steam mop and vacuum. We live in a small home and our family area, hallway, and bathrooms are all hard wood floors. Makes cleaning our hard floors so much easier. We have two indoor cats and they shed a lot after the winter/cold months. The vacuum definitely has a powerful suction to collect all the loose cat hair and other debris. I'm also loving this all in one because I am able to steam mop my floors at the same time the vacuum is on to kill two cleaning tasks at once instead of using a standard broom/dust pan prior to my regular old steam mop. It's made cleaning a lot easier for me.Katie

I bought this hoping to kill two birds at one time while cleaning my floors. Prior to this I had a $75 bissell steam cleaner. The first time I used this I was excited and impressed. The little stains on my kitchen floor came right up and the vacuum suction was awesome. I thought wow! This is great. Then I brought it out to use the second time and came across something stick to the floor. I thought no problem. This will be quick and easy to get up. Boy was I wrong. It took at least 30 tries with this machine to get it up. I even held the steam over the stuck on yuck with no luck. I had to push down on the handle and basically scrub it up. It would've been quicker and easier to use a spray cleaner and rag to get it up. What's the point if I have muscle gunk off the floor by pressing the pad onto the floor hard? My shoulder hurt by the time I was done getting it off. There are other issues too: The steam is not hot at all… my former $75 steam mop left my floors hot to the touch which is how it's supposed to kill germs. This leaves the floors Luke warm. If you have multiple floors in different places in your home to clean like bathrooms etc you will have to unplug this, go to that spot, plug it back in and wait the thirty seconds for it to heat up. This is annoying. The water container is small and runs out quickly. So between the fact that this takes brute strength to get up stuck on gunk and it isn't hot enough to kill germs I'm not impressed.FloridaMom

Bought this ti replace an old 1940 (steam mop). I vacuumed thrn mopped, so this seemed like a perfect combination. Unfortunately the combination mop / vacuum mop ended up being worse than buying separately. First, the steam function is very quiet (good) so its hard to tell if its on or not, as a result holding the mop "on" trigger bacame laborious. I couldnt tell if the steam function was on causing me to squeeze harder and harder, then constantly letting go just to see if its on. The 1940 is on the entire time (simple). Next, very little steam actually came out when compared to the old 1940 impacting the mops capability to pickup dirt. After cleaning my kitchen tile it did a great job of vacuuming dirt, but the mop cloth head was only 20% dirty. Unsure it its faulty or working as designed. Returned and bought another 1940.yeller

I have children and a cat and also hardwood floors throughout the main living area. I run the vacuum daily and the mop twice weekly on a schedule I set via the app. Additional runs of both are made when necessary. A daily schedule significantly cuts down on allergies for my household. The app was easy to download, set up and customize to my personal needs. The vacuum created a map on its first run and the mop did after two runs. I was able to divide out areas and label them so I can have the vacuum or the mop clean certain rooms, if desired. The mop also allows you to create smaller 'Keep Out' and 'Clean" zones, which will allow you to keep out of specific areas or do a heavier cleaning in an area. My vacuum is not showing these options and I would really like to see this feature, as my vacuum tends to get stuck on our boot tray. Upgrading from a manual empty bin to the self empty dust is a major plus for my busy family. We were emptying the bin every 1 to 2 runs, spewing dust all over as we emptied it into the trash and now it goes weeks before it will need a new bag. The mop needs to be refilled every 1 to 2 runs and I replace and clean the pad between each run. Overall, I am extremely pleased with how easy this was to personalize to suit my needs. I can use the app to run additional cleanings whether I am home or away which is very convenient. I can clean specific areas by either map or Alexa (you can also use Google/Siri). My cat likes to spend time with the mop and vacuum so enabling the child lock ensures she won't accidentally turn on one of the devices. As far as cleaning, the robot picks up a LOT of dirt and dust every single day, despite the floors not appearing dirty, which was an eye opener when compared to our previous vacuum. I ran the mop every day the first week and now have it set to twice weekly and it also picks up a lot of residue with each cleaning. You can personalize the mop to use 3 levels of cleaning solution and 3 levels of overlap (less, normal, more). There are a few things worth mentioning. The self empty cycle on the vacuum runs at the end of the cleaning. It is loud. Very loud. I was not prepared for this and it happened the first time during naptime. I have scheduled my cleanings to avoid this happening again. There is also a Do Not Disturb function that you can set in the app for the devices. Also worth mentioning is that the mop takes a long time to clean. I run about 400-450 sf on the mop and it takes 2 to 3 hours on the normal overlap, less solution setting. The mop doesn't take the same path each cleaning and sometimes runs with the hardwood and sometimes against and we have one area that it tends to show the wheel marks when it runs against. The mop also can not go over all thresholds and is limited in height. Ours can not cross into the one bathroom or laundry room due to the hardwood threshold. None of these are deal breakers for my family, but they may be for others. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this set. The combination of the vacuum and mop has my house looking clean and refreshed and has significantly cut down on our allergies. The vacuum handles cat hair, dust and dander much better than anticipated and the mop tackles the dirt and grime that comes with everyday life. I highly recommend this set to anyone with pets, kids and/or allergies, or for others simply looking for a combination of vacuum and mop that provide a deeper clean with the ability to personalize.Elthin12

I've been a Roomba user for about 15 years now and was excited to try this new WiFi connected version. Package allows you to take care of vaccuuming and mopping the floors, however software integration between two robots could have been a little better. For example – the only way to mop after the vacuum is to let Brava (mopping robot) start after Roomba (vacuum) finishes, there is no way to have them go room-by-room right after each other. Both robots do reference their own map and don't share (or don't seem to share) your house map between each other as each robot has to learn the surroundings by itself. Individually robots are doing a pretty good job though! Roomba (the vacuum) – seems to have a few troubles with a real thick carpet I have in the dining room (see photos) even with the majority of chairs removed – it tends to stop at the edge of the carpet and declare a "cliff" emergency asking for help. After manually moving the robot – it does not seem to learn the lesson and goes for the "cliff" again and again. There does not seem to be a way to block off the area of a thick carpet in the app. It does take Roomba about 6 (!!!) hours to vacuum roughly 1000 sq ft of hardwood and carpet are of my first floor so it takes multiple "naps" at the charging station. Cleaning quality is pretty good though and there is almost no mess to deal with – just replace the paper waste bag at the charging station when it gets full. Roomba does seem to bump a lot into walls and furniture though, I would probably opt for a higher model of Roomba equipped with synthetic vision and object recognition (like charging cords or pet waste). Brava (the mopping robot) – machine has an on-board tank for the cleaning liquid (Bona is what is recommended) and a spray nozzle up front. It would spray the cleaner first and then wipe it out with a microfiber cleaning pad that is attached underneath the machine. It only has 2 wheels so 3rd point of contact is the mopping pad itself. While it's doing a great job on the hardwood floor – it is having a horrible time at the transitions between hardwood and tile (Kitchen area) and hardwood and tile just under the fireplace. While flooring surfaces are level – they do have a small transition which throws Brava sensors off. It either can't climb over a transition or is attempting it at 45 degree angle – goes about half way over but suddenly gets "scared" and reverses rapidly. That results in it unable to get back to it's charging station unfortunately and giving up on a job. I really hope it's just a software update fix as I really like the Brava. Overall – it's a great power couple – but I would probably upgrade to a higher model if your home "terrain" is not easy to navigate thru.xKing

## Setup There is a lot of packaging to go through, breakdown, and put into the recycling bin, but at least you know that everything is protected well. Once you have all the pieces out of the box, you’ll find a quick start card to help you set up the charging base and wake up your robot. You’ll then head to the iRobot app to finish setting up your robots and connect them to WiFi. You may need to let it charge for a while (and apply any needed updates), but after 30 minutes or so, your robot should be ready to clean. ## Performance ### Roomba i3+ If you’re upgrading from a previous Roomba (or other robotic vacuum) like I am, you may be surprised to find that the i3+ includes a “mapping” feature. You can either allow the vacuum to learn while it cleans, or you can send it on a specific mapping-only quest where it doesn’t clean but instead just ping-pongs around your house, keeping track of walls and other barriers. You can then see the map inside the app and section off the rooms and name them. You’ll probably see some hilarious shaped rooms in the app as the Roomba doesn’t know furniture from a wall, but you get a general idea of what the Roomba can “see” around your home. After you name the rooms, you can use the app to have Roomba clean only a certain room, which is handy if, for example, there is some dry cereal spilled in the kitchen and you don’t want the Roomba to clean the whole house just to get to the cereal. The Roomba i3+ seems to have some upgraded rollers and suction power as I notice it picking up more dirt than my previous Roomba. One of my favorite features in the self-emptying dust bin! When the Roomba returns to its base it (loudly) transfers the dirt from the robot into a bag inside of the base. So the Roomba can perform multiple cleaning jobs before the dust bin needs emptying. I rarely used Alexa with my previous Roomba because while I was bent over emptying the dust bin, it was just easier to hit the “Clean” button while I’m down there. However, now that this Roomba empties itself, I might use the Alexa integration more often! I rarely run the Roomba while I’m away from home as I like to be within earshot in case it gets tangled on a cord I forgot to pick up. However, I like that the app notifies you with a push notification if there is a problem. I also like that with the app, you can set the floors to automatically be mopped after you vacuum. It’s like the two robots are BFFs! ### Braava jet m6 Before cleaning, you’ll need to attach a cleaning pad to the bottom of the Roomba (either one of the included single-use pads, or the multi-use microfiber pad) and fill the inside tank with a mixture of the cleaning solution and water. This is my first mopping robot and it is quite interesting to watch it work. It will move forward in a straight line about 2 feet or so, and if there are no obstructions, it will back up, spray some liquid, and then drive the cleaning pad over it, going an extra foot or so while the cleaning pad is still wet. The Braava did a surprisingly good job maintaining the straight lines while it cleaned the floor and probably did a more thorough job mopping than I normally do. 😀 It struggled more under the table and chairs, but in all fairness, I’m able to move the chairs completely out of the way to mop under the table so a human definitely has an advantage there. The Braava also does a good job of not overstaurating a certain area and uses the little bit it sprayed on the floor to cover a wide area. You can adjust this in the settings in the app to have the Braava use more or less liquid while cleaning. I set it about in the middle and was pleased with how well it cleaned. I can even walk in the area it cleaned after about 10 minutes without getting my socks overly wet. The Braava has a very low clearance and does not go onto carpeted areas or even the mats under the doors. This also prevents it from spraying cleaning solution down the furnace grate on the floor which I appreciate! I’m also happy I did not have to buy additional virtual barriers that I would have to move between vacuuming and mopping. When it is done, you can throw the multi-use pad into your washing machine or hand wash it so it is ready for the next cleaning mission. ## Summary This combo pack of the Roomba i3+ and Braava jet m6 is a great tag team system for keeping your floors clean! I appreciate the mapping features and the fact that you can set the robots to work in tandem with the Roomba vacuuming first, then automatically handing it off to the Braava to mop. The self-emptying dust bin is also an appreciated upgrade for keeping the Roomba ready to clean at any time.TechnicallyWell

Après quelques jours d’utilisation, le Deebot X1 m’est devenu indispensable. Il aspire avec une grande efficacité et sa brosse en silicone a l’avantage de ne pas retenir les poiles de chien. La navigation du Deebot est tres fluide. Sa caméra lui permet d’éviter les câbles ou divers objets présents sur les sols. La plus grosse innovation de ce robot est pour moi la présence de deux serpillières rotative qui frotte réellement le sol. Le nettoyage est vraiment de bonne qualité et ne laisse aucune trace. Autres fonctions très pratique, la base du robot nettoie et sèche automatiquement les serpillières. L’autonomie du robot est tout à fait correct. J’arrive à aspirer et à laver mes 100m2 sans aucun problème. Je suis ravi de mon achatCyril77500

Since the product is so new to me, I am still learning about it. In general, I would say it is a big help and I hope that it continues to be. I just used the moping function today and I like that too. The moping instructions say to use only recommended products in it, but I cannot find what those are. Anyone know?Douglas

love it. A huge help on big clean up days. I tipped clean kitty litter all over the bathroom floor. everything was cleaned up within 20 minutes. Locked it into bathroom. If it gets confused it has a remote. mostly a very good job %98.9Linda

This vacuum is amazing. I was loving it. Then I went to find replacement filters, roller, brushes, etc. and they were literally nonexistent! Weird. So to the store to return I did. Glad i was still within the return window. I emailed the company and got some bogus answer in return saying something like, "We'll create an amazon account and send you the link when we get it." I felt unsure if the party would even be available throughout my ownership of the vacuum. As far as the mopper option it has, the mopper doesn't really work. It just kind of spreads water across the floor. But the vacuum again is amazing! So it makes up for the mop not being great. I did buy an Eufy 25C Max robot vacuum for the upstairs and this for the downstairs and no problems with the Eufy. If you decide on this vacuum, be sure you will be able to get those replacements you will need regularly before you invest.BB&B Customer

Looking for an almost perfect robotic cleaning solution for your floors? Have common challenges been keeping you from finding a solution to help assist you in your cleaning? No longer do you need to need to have multiple solutions to clean both hard flooring and carpet, you don’t have to worry about obstacles, and you’ll have the ability to control what rooms are cleaned each day. The Roborock S7MaxV Ultra is the highest featured, smart, advanced robotic floor cleaning device I’ve seen or used. Combined with its ability to vacuum and mop all in one, it’s fully automated empty/wash/fill docking station, and its obstacle avoidance, you have an almost hands off cleaning assistance always working to keep your floors nice and clean. Working to unbox the vacuum you will notice everything is a touch larger than most other robotic vacuum systems, most specifically the docking station. The docking stations features a clean water and dirty water tank, both of which are removeable for easy emptying and filling, a debris bin, auto emptying from the vacuum to the dock, and a cleaning system for the mop portion of the vacuum. Packing all those automation features in definitely comes at a cost on space. While this isn’t a big issue, if you have very limited storage space in the room you’re looking to place the docking station, you may have to reconsider some things. Initial setup is fairly straight forward. Download the mobile app, create an account, and connect your new assistant to Wi-Fi. You’ll be prompted to look for any updates, and then to really start digging into settings, you can perform a mapping run to create a layout of your house. This is the part that I would argue that could start to get a little on the advanced side. I’m very comfortable with technology as I deal with it every day for work and a hobby, but there’s a lot of settings you can start to dive into to take full advantage of everything the Roborock has to offer. Once the vacuum creates a layout, it will take guesses on room types, floor types, and obstacles based on machine learning. You can override any of these settings, adjust room dividers, define no-go zones, zones only for vacuuming or mopping exclusively, and more. The app will attempt to try and detect what types of obstacles exist in the room, and you can additionally place some generic furniture items on the map to better match your environment. Once you have your rooms setup, you can create different schedules based on specific rooms or have it clean the whole house. You also currently have the ability to create specific zones within rooms to go manually “spot” clean a zone if needed. You also have the ability to tie in voice control and request cleaning of specific rooms or the whole house. Quirky features, if the vacuum is connected to Wi-Fi, you can remotely check into the onboard camera and even talk and listen through the vacuum to touch base with pets or anyone else who might be nearby. The vacuum is also surprisingly quiet and its rubber coated brush does a good job at not getting all tangled up in hair. Let’s dive a touch deeper now into arguably the biggest feature of this vacuum, it’s obstacle avoidance system. We touched on the ability for the device to “map out” a floor plan, but the technology goes much deeper than that. Roborock’s ReactiveAI 2.0 Obstacle Avoidance system is what’s been needed in these vacuums for a long time. With the Roborock’s PreciSense LiDAR Navigation to quickly map an entire room, its structured light 3D scanner, RGB camera, and LED light to scan and identify the location and size of obstacles and hazards in both bright and dark rooms, you won't need to worry about this vacuum getting into any trouble. The Roborock utilizes machine learning and a dedicated neural processing unit to recognize numerous hazards from wires, shoes, and even pet waste and intelligently plots an adaptive route to avoid them all. Gone are the days of having to “prep” your house for robotic vacuuming watching your robot roam around randomly bumping into everything, missing spots, getting stuck and tangled on everything, and in general just being more of a burden than actually helping anything. The superior 3D obstacle avoidance technology in the Roborock is simply stunning. Overall, if you’re looking for a robotic floor cleaning partner in crime that can help you keep not only your carpets but hard floors spotless, you seriously need to try this thing out. It’s almost completely maintenance free apart from having to empty a dirty water tank and debris/dust bin and filling the water tank occasionally. The Roborock has all the intelligence in the world to avoid obstacles in the most complex household environments and will just make your life that much easier. How nice is it to come home to consistently clean floors? If you’ve ever used an inferior or dumber smart vacuum and always wished it had those one or two more features to really be the best it can be, you don’t need to lostangapds

 I don’t need to move my mats off the floor in the kitchen or the bathroom, pick my shoes up off the floor if I don’t want to or that shirt sitting over in the corner, I don’t have to worry it’s going to get stuck under at the bed because it does a great job navigating whatever it is under the bed and not only does it do a great job it identifies by taking a picture of whatever item is under there, and with a percentage of certainty it can assess what that item is not always great by does a pretty darn good job. It is by far, as other reviewers have noted, leaps and bounds …. ARTEMIS SIZE… GALACTICLY SUPERIOR to ANY other vacuum. And then, to add an amazing mop that is utilized simultaneously with the vacuuming feature, and the ability to customize from a light mop job to a extra duty session— YESSSSS nailed it in execution, nailed it in design, and nailed it in understanding the deficiencies of the current technologies on the market, and then bring the technology market 🙂 Summarized, and in general, I have been pretty darn critical of most of them tech purchases in the past 10 years because of shifty retailers, manufactures, ad campaigns, all implying, amazing features and benefits that blend into a disappointment and waste. If not a complete failure. It’s usually what is implied by the manufacture, but not stated that leaves disappointment in execution. And then, of course, there are the glaring issues, confronting consumers in the marketplace by way of the retailers, not Best Buy that don’t care about the customer enough to mandate that pro product descriptions are actually in English enough to understand but to me that basically means that a manufacture doesn’t really care about the American consumer at all because if they did, they would find somebody who speaks English enough to write a manual for whatever product and to write print and advertise that product in a way that respects the customer and doesn’t make them have to read between the lines or reword, poor grammatical errors, because of a lack of regard that upsets me more than anything so I’m very glad to have retailers that are still around like Best Buy where I know specifications for a product are going to be the specs for the product. Anyway, the bottom line is, this is a win. I’m pleased, and I have not been pleased in the product and I can say this pretty certainly in a very, very long time, so great job, Robo rock. Happy to welcome you into my family! (And I apologize about my grammar and spelling as I’ve been dictating this and as far as vendors go with AI, Siri is falling behind a little bit and doesn’t really respect my dictation lol 🙂gayObieWan

You know this industry segment is still very young when the best robot vacuum by far which is this S7 MaxV Ultra has quite a few areas to improve on but all in all. I LOVE IT! This is advanced AI coupled with top level engineering at its finest for robot vacuum cleaners. At this point, Roborock is Roborock's biggest competitor – however, there's def room for improvement. Below is everything the bot does really well that are selling points. For the "Needs to improve" I'll indicate whether these are software fixes or hardware changes which means you'd have to wait for the next version and hope the changes are built in as part of the bots physical hardware component. Best Features – Intuitive UI & navigation software packed with useful features (3D map, 2 way calling, etc) – Ability to auto fill bot with water, auto empty dustbin and wash mop – Great battery life (my experience) – On board video camera to see where bot is cleaning – Carpet detection feature with mop auto lift – AI obstacle recognition, avoidance & tagging – Room recognition with machine learning capabilities. – Various cleaning configuration settings Needs to improve – Show water levels in app (hardware fix) – Increased suction doesn't do much for carpets. Still misses threads and small particles from time to time. (hardware fix) – Ability to copy routines and schedules (software fix) – Ability to save zones just like we do with rooms (software fix) – Ability to rearrange routines order so they show up on the homescreen shortcut in the order we want (software fix) – Ability to delete rooms (software fix) – App update for things like: Create shortcut for schedules on home screen for quicker access (software fix), Ability to select custom shape for zone cleaning, currently square shape (software fix), etc. – Bigger tires to clear higher obstacle climbs. See image of my bathroom wedge that it couldnt climb. If yours is this high too then forget about it, it won't make it. (hardware fix) – D design bot shape instead of circle to allow bot to reach corners and hard to reach areas (hardware fix) – Mop auto lift needs to be improved for higher height carpet clearance So why the 5 star rating? Because the best features greatly outweigh the need foe improvements, in addition most of the improvements are software changes that Roborock can easily implement with firmware upgrades.Nnamdi J

This vacuum mop combo does not vacuum or mop well. After each run there is barely anything in the trash bin to empty despite the residual crumbs/pet hair scattered around the floor. I made the switch from an old, loud roomba thinking this would be a nice new upgrade at a more reasonable cost but my 6 year old roomba picks up more every time and was around the same price. I often opt for the loud roomba over the Bissell, even though it is quieter, to ensure I don't have to run the thing 5 times to do the same job. In addition it gets stuck in the weirdest places? It even damaged part of our hardwood from consistently trying to get itself unstuck while we were away. The mopping feature is – fine. I knew that I wasn't signing up for a tank wash with this product so I'm decently satisfied there. The only issue is that when the robot get stuck its mopping the same spot in a puddle if its not helped right away. For being a robot this thing needs a lot of supervision. In conclusion – save your money and buy a different productBritt

I love love LOVE this robot! It is quiet, does a good job mopping and vacuuming, and it looks classy! When I am at work, I have my robot mop my kitchen, living room, and dining room. When I come home, I am greeted to clean freshly mopped floors! This robot has 2 rotating pads that scrub your floors in addition to the Bissell formula that work together to remove dust and stains leaving your floors clean. Another benefit to owning this robot is that it also vacuums your floors. I have it clean my carpets in between normal vacuuming and it does a good job. Even though it is not meant to replace a standard vacuum, it does a good job cleaning in-between regular vacuuming, even though it could be better on thick carpets and it does get stuck occassionally. My carpets get dirty daily, when the Spinwave goes over them, they look much better! I love how you can schedule when you want it to clean and turn it off or on in the app. The app is very useful and It is easy to use. The Spinwave is quiet and it cleans in neat rows. The spot mode is a useful especially for the dreaded GLITTER spill. When I was putting up decorations, glitter from one my my decorations got all over my tile floor. When I put the robot in it's spot mode, it went to work and got all of the glitter up in less than 2 minutes! I love this robot! This vacuum is great in between normal vacuuming and mopping or when you are not at home to clean.Clean House

As a mom of three, and dog owner, I was absolutely ecstatic to learn I was selected to review the CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro vacuum through the Stellar Review Testing Panel. Everyday messes are definitely a regular occurrence in our home, and I'm usually left with three options: Lug out the large vacuum, and haul it from room-to-room, changing outlets every few minutes; hunch over with my dust-buster for 20 minutes (which is not kind to my neck and back); or leave the mess until later. As a neat-freak, the latter of the options is never my favorite, and I'm generally left either killing 20-30 minutes when I could be doing something more productive on top of becoming frustrated and left with a stiff neck. So, needless to say, when the option for a cordless stick vacuum (dedicated towards pets and kids), I was like a kid at Christmas. I love this product! The three settings make it easy to switch between our hardwood floors, area rugs, and there's a turbo setting that is great at getting those stubborn areas that can really use some extra attention. The product is lightweight, holds a charge (I can vacuum our entire home easily on one charge), and I've found it's a great alternative to throwing my rugs in the washing machine. We have quite a few area rugs throughout our home (all washable due to kids / pets), which is great – but they are a hassle to wash / dry, lay down properly after-the-fact. With the wet / dry function on the CrossWave, I can literally run the vacuum over my area rugs for 1-2 minutes, and when done, they look like they've just been washed. Pet hair, cereal, everyday messes are easy to clean up, and the product is easy to charge / set-up and use. If I had to review any negatives, it would be two features. First, hard to reach places (under furniture, and particularly stairs), aren't the easiest to clean. Second, the instructions point out to clean after every use (highly recommend or I've found there is an odor with use).designgal78

Just to start off this is a fantastic product. We bought some appliances so we got $400 best buy gift cards and i had a $55 certificate from best buy(which the online guy that was supposed to help us never applied still a lottle mad about that and its expired now but whatever). Did some research it was between this and the Tineco floor one S5 but we ended going with this because we do have a few rooms with carpets. The pros: .It can clean our house (roughly 2,000 sq ft) on one charge. .That turbo mode is WOW!! .Easy to maintain and clean .Very lightweight .it makes cleaning so much faster The cons: .Maybe its the formula we are using but it is extremely soapy but started using less and it works much better. .it doesnt get the carpets the best( we know ots for area rugs) but on turbo mode it will do a room full of carpet just wont pick up too much of the water but man does it pock up some stuff! .the dirty tank gets full quick The 4 star is mainly for the price of it it is a lot of money for what you get, but honestly we have no Rugrets not even one letter! We are going to order the brush specifically made for carpets and try that out and see how that works and also some little tips. . Run the clean cycle after every use . After you are done cleaning and ran the cycle and cleaned your equipment take off the roller and put it in the holder to let it dry .once a week (i tried doing it every day but its too much) do a nice deep clean of your machine if you take care of it, it will take care of you.Ivan

With our dog and our new baby all over the floor, we were getting much more worried about fur everywhere. I have a very good vacuum and hand vac already, but the vacuum is heavy and cumbersome and my back is not built for vacuuming the floor with a hand vac. This vacuum was a perfect addition to our home because it is light weight and portable, like the love child of the two vacuums we already had. It is also quiet, so I can vacuum the baby's arena everyday while she naps without waking her up. I feel silly since this in addition to so many other vacuums, but I didn't have the energy to pull out the big one on a daily basis, especially trying to get under furniture and plugging it into different outlets to reach the whole house. My Bissell is not as powerful, but I use it daily so the fur doesn't accumulate and it is better for our lifestyle. And since it has the hand vac attachment, I could have bought just this one instead of my previous two. Oops! Highly recommend, would buy again in a heartbeat. It's also easy to empty/clean and gets under furniture really well.Michelle

I greeted the Bissell ReadyClean Cordless Vacuum with curious skepticism. Having used several vacuums in the past I knew the benefits and drawbacks of corded and cordless vacuums. I tried a Eureka cordless vacuum in the past and the battery took over 12 hours to charge for just 15-20 minutes of vacuuming power, with the suction power being extremely light. I also had a cordless vacuum by Puweike which constantly fell down because I didn't mount the stand against the wall as I had mostly dry wall in my place. I prefer cordless vacuums because even though the corded vacuums owned by Hoover and Oreck offer more power, they are a pain to move from room to room due to having to constantly disconnect and reconnect the cord. The Bissell ReadyClean Cordless Vacuum addressed all of these concerns and offered some unexpected surprises. This vacuum took less than one minute to assemble with only two parts to put together. I only had to charge the battery for four hours until it was ready to use. Upon charging it, I noticed the vacuum stands upright, so there is no need to add any mounted stand to the wall as it can be stored anywhere. I also love that I could turn on the brush roll on carpet and off on the hardwood to prevent scratching. The suction is extremely powerful to pick up even the smallest crumbs and I couldn't believe how easy it is to maneuver with the handle folding to get under the sofa. There is a huge bonus to this vacuum as well with the detachable middle which becomes a handheld vacuum for sofas and chairs. Another bonus is the brush and crevice tool for corners and upholstery. The dirt bin is so easy to empty and put back in the vacuum as well. I would recommend the Bissell ReadyClean Cordless Vacuum to all my friends and family. Owning this cordless vacuum is a delight in every way possible.Andy

This lightweight cordless vacuum is exactly what I needed. I have a good sized 1 bedroom apartment that I share with a cat. A few rooms have area rugs and the rest is all vinyl flooring. I am constantly fighting a battle against cat hair, litter particles, and dust. And losing, until now. This is a dream on my vinyl floors and low pile rugs. I have a large thick pile rug in the living room that this does not work so well on. The suction makes it hard to use when going against the grain of the rug so I use it everywhere else and get the old vac out for that one spot. It’s what I intended to do anyway so I didn’t take off a star. I think it’s swivel makes maneuverability fantastic. The battery works great, assembly was quick and super easy, it’s small and sits upright in a corner charging. It came with three handy attachments for with using the hand vac. The cord isn’t too long or too short. It’s just right for my needs. I am so impressed with this vacuum and happy with my purchase.MelissaV

I've always had my doubts about this style of vacuum, always thinking that they would be underpowered and not up to the task of cleaning my home adequately. With that in mind, I was ready to try the Shark Ultra 2-in-1 on the carpeted second level of my home. Unboxing the vacuum was a simple task and, after minimal assembly (4 steps in all), after downloading the app, I was ready to send my new robo-vac off to investigate the entire floor. The first step entails the vacuum going around to "map out" the floor. This step was interesting to watch as the vacuum made its way around the entire floor of the house "learning" where objects and items were. What I wasn't prepared for was that, after mapping out the floorplan, the app asked me several questions about locations that might be "off limits" or where there might be area rugs. Luckily for me, the entire level is carpeted (other than two bathrooms) and I was able to move past those questions. If you will be using the wet-clean feather (i.e. a combination of hard floor surfaces, area rugs, carpet) you will have the ability to control what cleaning function the Shark AI performs in each of those areas! Once I had approved the floor layout I sent the vacuum off on its maiden voyage. It doe's bump around a little bit as it works its way around doors and other obstacles but, man does this thing get the job done! Because of its low profile, the vacuum can go under beds, chairs, and elevated dressers with ease. It goes about its cleaning job and easily cleans the entire floor area thoroughly. After using the vacuum for a few weeks (I program it to make one entire pass of the 2nd floor of the house every weekday) I am a believer in the Shar AI Ultra! It is great to get done with work and have the upstairs bedrooms/bathrooms freshly vacuumed every day. I've been converted from a sceptic to a huge fan!epetet

After getting everything unboxed, I was initially underwhelmed. Straight away I noticed that there was only a single side brush on the base of the unit, yet two physical brushes were in the box. Now, if I didn't have a previous Shark vacuum, I may not have noticed (the older generation model has two side brushes on the base of the unit providing sweeping action on both the left and right side of the vacuum) but I quickly realized I was worrying for no reason. Then it started to dawn on me as I was continuing to unbox everything. By having a brush on both sides if brush 1 misses something the chances of brush 2 picking it up are slim to none – you have identical methods of cleaning going on. With the new AI Ultra 2-in-1 there is a "CleanEdge Technology" feature on the side with no brush that shoots puffs of air out as it goes to help push and clear hard to reach debris. When the unit spins around the brush does its thing, you are more than likely going to end up getting a more thorough cleaning. Aside from that I noticed the unit was a few inches taller in the very center, meaning I knew it would not go under some surfaces that the older model could. This, is unfortunately, not something that can be made up for by puffs of air or the like, unless you use some manual means or run another vacuum (we just run our old Shark in the specifics areas where there is furniture to get under) you are not going to get as deep of a clean on those hard-to-reach spots. Having said that, everything else is a welcome improvement. The aforementioned heigh difference is due to the improved scan/track system which provides more accurate scanning of rooms upon setup as well as being significantly quicker in not only scanning, but also reading the rooms and mapping everything. For this reason, I avoided getting too hung up on the fact it can't get under particular areas like the old one, a trade off worth doing for the extra accuracy and quicker turnaround time. The Self-Empty bin is the big new feature, in my opinion. Some might say the mop element, but for me it is the base. Knowing that you can dispatch your Shark and that it will keep going back to the base to empty itself so that it can complete the entire run is great peace of mind. In the past once the bin was full your Shark would simply head back to dock itself and wait for you to empty it. Didn't matter if it cleaned 10% of the area or 99%, it was done. With the Self-Empty bin, so long as some other error doesn't take place or it runs out of battery, 100% of the job will get done so long as you don't have a completely full Self-Empty bin. All the material says you can get up to 90 days before having to empty this, and I don't see why not. Having used ours for a week straight in a home with three dogs that all shed I would say our bin is about 3/8 full. So for us in such a pet dander heavy home to only have to empty the bin once per month is very welcome. For our older Shark I would usually have to empty the bin two or three times PER RUN. Again, a very VERY welcome addition to the product line. Back to the mopping. This is a very close second as far as the Self-Empty bin and being a welcome addition. Initially I wasn't sure how good of a job it was going to do, but that was nothing more than me applying my own previous experiences with various mops, both manual and electric. You are provided with a second bin and cleaning solution that is designed specifically for this aspect of the job. Add water to the bin up to the fill line and cleaning solution to the fill line for it, then make sure your mop pad is secure on the velcro/hook on the back of the bin, and you're ready to go. Results were great! The pad area itself oscillates ever so slightly to provide the scrubbing as the Shark scoots around. Water/cleaning solution application was extremely consistent in application and coverage. I noticed no dry spots or missed areas: wherever the vacuum went it mopped, scrubbed, and cleaned 100% of the intended location. Speaking of location, the app itself is where this all starts to come into play. You are going to want to let the vacuum go around and map everything out. This was barely a ten-minute process, but I also made sure to move chairs and a couple items that were easy enough to get out of the way to provide as much cleaning area as possible. Once the scan is done you can go through and allocate rooms, carpet areas, as well as mop zones. This allows you to schedule runs room by room, merge rooms together to create zones for areas that might be higher traffic (hallways, entry ways, etc) and then others that might not need as much attention. The entire process of opening the box to having a completely vacuumed and mopped home was a little over an hour on that first run. Now that everything it in place and I have all the features in the app squared away, the only thing that takes any time at all is swapping the vacuum bin out for the mop one and getting said mop bin set up aBillnMish

This is my 3rd robot vacuum, but my first robot mop, and my first vacuum/mop combo. If you have your heart set on a single unit that does vacuuming and mopping, this may be a good choice for you. However, one of the main convenience factors of having a robot vacuum, particularly one with a large disposal canister, is the ability to set it up and forget about it, as it regularly cleans your house for you. My biggest problem with the combo device, is how impractical it is to switch out separate cleaning bins based on whether you are mopping or vacuuming. The mopping feature does also include a vacuum to pickup debris, but the dedicated vacuum mode has a separate attachment you use in place of the mop container. To me, this defeats the whole purpose of “set it and forget it”. Additionally, there’s nowhere to easily store the container you don’t actively have inserted into the robot, so you have to go fish the other container out of storage when you want to change modes. If there was something built into the base to store the other container, that would at least make it easier to locate and swap them as needed. I’ll probably just leave this unit in mop mode and using my other robot vacuum for the actual vacuuming. Aside from the practicality of a combo unity, I was not impressed with the built in sensors that normally prevent a robot from bumping into things like furniture, pets, toys, or kids. Compared to another model I’ve tested, it rammed into things fairly aggressively, and reminded me of how the technology in my 7 year old robot vacuum behaves. The mopping feature itself was very thorough, and the mixture of cleaning agent plus water dried very quickly on the floor. By the time the unit had finished mopping, in a 30 minute 1 room test I performed, 70% of the surface covered had already dried. I ran into an issue after first inserting the mop container, where the robot still only showed vacuum and not mop options in the app. I had to actually tell the robot to dock in order for it to realize that it had the mop container installed and provide different commands within the app. The app itself was fairly easy to use, though it did become unresponsive at one point while trying to edit rooms. I eventually was able to create and label rooms like kitchen and living room, and setup “carpet” areas so the mop knows to avoid them. Overall, the app was a 4/5 for usability and functionality. Another surprise, which was probably information available prior to receiving the product, is that the mop doesn’t empty into the large storage bin, so it had to be emptied separately every time, along with washing and cleaning the pad, which I had expected. As a whole, my recommendation would be to buy a separate robot mop and vacuum rather than this combo, but if you have your heart set on a combo unit, this does get the job done. I did appreciate not having to separately vacuum up crumbs before mopping though so there is some merit to having a combo unit.Albert
