The best vacmop robot Self Emptying Robot Vacuum

The best self emptying robot vacuum features a base that holds one month's worth of debris and empties automatically. It also makes a detailed map of your home and allows you to label rooms as well as create "no-go" zones.

It is equipped with superior obstacle avoidance abilities, too, so it can stay clear of power cords and rogue socks.

iRobot Roomba s9+

This is a top model from iRobot and it performs very well. It is able to maneuver easily across a variety of surfaces and is extremely efficient in collecting dust, dirt, and debris. It's also very sturdy and looks good too.

The S9 is the most recent model of iRobot's top S Series line of robot vacuums and, as such, it comes with several additional features that set it apart from lesser models. The iRobot App can, for example, use the camera to create a map that assists the robot to navigate and clean efficiently.

There's no need to clean the same spots again if the battery runs out. You can also set it up to start cleaning sessions and stop them with an easy voice command or through the iRobot app. This smart vacuum can even clean in the dark!

Another great feature is Carpet Boost, which gives the S9 additional suction power when it comes in contact with carpeting so that it can take in even more dirt and dust. The unit is a square-front design which allows it to be closer to walls and corners than older round designs. However, keep in mind that this model won't work well with high-pile or shag carpeting.

During our tests, we discovered that the iRobot S9+ cleaned thoroughly and efficiently a range of floor surfaces, including hard and medium-pile carpets. It also performed well on laminate flooring, and vinyl flooring. It also did a good job of navigating around objects and furniture, however it had some issues with stairs, where it can crash into objects like bookcases.

We were impressed by the fact that the S9 automatically returns to its base to empty its dust bin when it's full, which significantly reduces the need for hands-on maintenance. The dust bin is expected to last for around 30 loads or a month and a half. It's recommended to replace the filter every few months (as suggested by iRobot). We've found that the iRobot S9+ doesn't get loud during operation which makes it a good choice for those who live with pets or children.

Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid

Robot vacuum cleaners are designed to take care of the chores for you, and can be used to clean hardwood and carpeted flooring. The best ones are controlled and monitored via a smartphone app and some include mopping technology for bathroom and kitchen floors. They are a great option for busy families, and they are becoming more affordable. If you're looking for the most advanced technology for your robotic cleaner, then you'll have to pay a bit more.

The Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid vacuum and mopping machine is a fantastic option for those who live in a multi-floored apartment. The vacuum's 0.6l bin can hold a large amount of pet hair. Dual motors give powerful cleaning power. The dust bin is easy to remove and empty, which is great because you'll have to do this frequently.

It's also simple to set up, although I recommend fully charging the X8 Hybrid prior to running it for the first time. You'll have to install the Eufy Home app and follow the instructions for connecting it to your Wi-Fi network. Once you've done that the app will assist you create an accurate map of your home. You can label the rooms, break large areas into sub-rooms to make it easier for open-plan living, and guide the X8 Hybrid towards specific areas in need of cleaning at a particular time. There are many other robots that offer similar mapping and scanning functions, but Eufy's application is more refined and user-friendly than other models.

The X8 Hybrid has a great feature: you can turn on the mop or vacuum cleaner through voice thanks to the integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is a nice feature that makes the robot even more hands-free, and it is very effective in our test house.

Like many robotic vacuums, the X8 Hybrid has some issues with floors that are not clean. It may miss fur and small objects and tends to bump things like its charger on the charging platform. It's also not as quiet and the whirring sound could be distracting like other models.

Roborock V3S Pro

This robot isn't as feature-rich as some of the more expensive models we evaluated however, it does have all the basics. It has a large dust bin that can hold a large amount of dirt before needing to be empty. The mop and vacuum system is ideal for hard floors and carpets with a low pile. It's also super quiet and we were able to watch the TV while it was working without feeling like it was blazing us with the sound.

Our testers were impressed by how simple it was to install and use, and were impressed with its ability to take all the mess out of their flooring. It did a good job cleaning pet hair, messes and carpeting, but it was more difficult in getting rid of stains that were stubborn. The app was simple to use and user-friendly. They were able set up the vacuum to clean frequently to cut down on manual work. It doesn't have the ability to avoid objects or map technology, which means it cannot be sent to specific rooms or follow virtual borders (though magnetic boundaries can be used).

The V3S Pro is another model in iRobot’s affordable line. It comes with several impressive features for a reasonable price. It beat out all other robotic vacuums in our tests in terms of mapping and avoiding obstacles, and it's the perfect budget pick for those who want an intelligent self-emptying robot vacuum that is able to handle pet hair and messes both on carpets with low pile and hardwood floors. It's also extremely quiet and has a huge dust bin that can hold a lot before it's time to empty it.

The V3S Pro did not make it onto our top choice lists from trusted sources who conduct hands-on tests, however it received high marks from Modern Castle, Smart Robot Reviews and The Ambient. They liked the ease with which it was set up and use, but they did note that its battery life is limited and it wasn't able to stay clear of some of the toughest messes we put it through.

Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is a solid basic robot vacuum cleaner with mop and mop that doesn't scrimp on features or price. You can enjoy many of the top features, including smart navigation and mapping, without paying top dollar. You can make use of voice commands via Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Siri shortcuts for custom automations, as well as to begin your cleaning routine while you are away.

Roborock took its time in designing this smart cleaner. The product is extremely well-built and feels as if top quality materials were used to make it. The base is strong and sturdy, with an integrated charging port for the battery. You'll find the docking station for the clean-water tank as well as dirty-water bins on top. Under them, you'll discover an area that houses the sealed vacuum bag.

Once you pair your device to the app, you'll see a 2D or 3D map of your home, which shows the location of where your robot is in and the area it's cleaning. You can also design virtual barriers to keep your robot out of certain areas or to only clean certain types of flooring. It can also alter its power settings according to the type of floor being cleaned and choose the most effective cleaning method.

The Q Revo is unique to many other robot vacuums in that it can lift both mop heads while vacuuming. This helps to prevent carpet fibres from becoming stained. In fact, it's the only vacuums on the market that can do this.

When mopping the Q Revo's 5500Pa suction capabilities can be enough to take out specks of dust and pet hair strands and other debris. The all-rubber brush is able to break up animal and human hair as it adapts to uneven surfaces.

Its only downside is that it takes a while to fill and empty the clean and dirty water tanks. Fortunately, you can cut down on the frequency of this by using the auto-empty feature, which will automatically empty the bin after a few days. There is no reminder to check the level of water on the dock.
