If you experience similar dread when faced with vacuuming, the best robot vacuum and mop combos will cross those two chores off of your list (three, if you count digging your old mop out of the closet as a chore in itself).Are robot vacuums good at mopping?I'm not saying you can expect a hybrid robot vacuum to scrub your kitchen grout with the same tenacity you would get with a toothbrush, but robot vacuums have gotten much better at mopping over the past few years.Since 2020-ish, most robot vacuum companies have added at least one (several, in most cases) hybrid model to their lineup, with prices ranging from $200 to well over $1,000. You can generally expect the mopping technique to get a little more meticulous as price goes up, so the type of mess that your 2-in-1 model will need to conquer becomes a big deciding factor. Are you mostly concerned with wiping up spur-of-the-moment spills, or will you be a stickler about dried-on stains that call for more heavy-duty scrubbing?\n SEE ALSO:\n \n As a Dyson stan, I wouldn't tell anyone to buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum\n \n \n \nFortunately, both ends of the pricing spectrum provide way more bang for their buck in 2024 than they did in the early 2020s. The mere presence of a cloth and a water tank is far from good enough at this point — now, the best robot vacuums and mops are armed with more mechanics attempting to mimic the elbow grease that a human with a mop or Swiffer would provide, like pressurized and\/or spinning mopping pads (rather than lackadaisical, stationary ones). Most modern 2-in-1 robot vacuums can also mop with real germ-fighting cleaning solution rather than just water — key in upping my own personal confidence in walking around barefoot.\n SEE ALSO:\n \n Top 3 best robot vacuums from CES 2025, from coolest to most practical\n \n \n \nBut arguably, the most pivotal shift 2-in-1 robot vacuums saw in the past year isn't on the robot vacuums themselves but in their docks. Past automatically emptying the dust bin, the best robot mop combos also cross post-mopping maintenance off of your list by automatically washing and drying their own mopping pads, then refilling themselves with clean water from the dock. With one of these fancy self-cleaning stations, your robovac will be ready to mop again almost immediately — a clutch change from an older, more basic design that had us all choosing between manually washing a smelly mopping pad after each use, letting it mop with a dirty pad, or just avoiding the mopping feature altogether. Not sure how fancy of a hybrid robot vacuum you even need at home? I've tested 15+ of the most popular robot vacuum and mop combos at a range of prices on my own floors at home, narrowing down your options to the top four robot vacuums that also wash your floors so far in 2025.(Note that each vacuum's retail price is listed by default, but that I've also noted the most common sale price each vacuum frequently drops to in \"The Good\" section. And yes, robot vacuum deals are common all throughout the year — not just during a shopping holiday like Black Friday.)","datePublished":"2025-02-05T10:00:00+00:00","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/","name":"Mashable","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/images\/mashable-logomark.png","width":2400,"height":2400},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/mashable","https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@Mashable","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/mashable"],"description":"Mashable is a global, multi-platform media and entertainment company.\n Powered by its own proprietary technology, Mashable is the go-to source for tech,\n digital culture and entertainment content for its dedicated and influential audience around the globe.","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/about\/editorial-standards"},"author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Leah Stodart","email":"lstodart@mashable.com","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/author\/leah-stodart","jobTitle":"Senior Shopping Reporter","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/authors\/03k7KMOCNiuyPls236AD1z9\/image.fill.size_1200x675.v1624381054.jpg","width":1200,"height":675,"caption":"Leah Stodart"},{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/authors\/03k7KMOCNiuyPls236AD1z9\/image.fill.size_1200x900.v1624381054.jpg","width":1200,"height":900,"caption":"Leah Stodart"},{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/authors\/03k7KMOCNiuyPls236AD1z9\/image.fill.size_1200x1200.v1624381054.jpg","width":1200,"height":1200,"caption":"Leah Stodart"}]}],"image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/roundups\/06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO\/hero-image.fill.size_1200x675.v1738088961.png","width":1200,"height":675,"caption":"Eufy X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum mopping gray tile floor by bathtub"},{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/roundups\/06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO\/hero-image.fill.size_1200x900.v1738088961.png","width":1200,"height":900,"caption":"Eufy X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum mopping gray tile floor by bathtub"},{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/roundups\/06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO\/hero-image.fill.size_1200x1200.v1738088961.png","width":1200,"height":1200,"caption":"Eufy X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum mopping gray tile floor by bathtub"}],"description":"Retire that Swiffer and walk barefoot in peace.","mainEntityOfPage":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/roundup\/best-robot-vacuum-and-mop","articleSection":"Life"}</script> <script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Organization","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/","name":"Mashable","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/images\/mashable-logomark.png","width":2400,"height":2400},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/mashable","https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@Mashable","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/mashable"],"description":"Mashable is a global, multi-platform media and entertainment company.\n Powered by its own proprietary technology, Mashable is the go-to source for tech,\n digital culture and entertainment content for its dedicated and influential audience around the globe.","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/about\/editorial-standards"}</script> <script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/mashable.com"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Life","item":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/life"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"House & Home","item":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/house-home"}]}</script> <script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do robot vacuum mops work?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"<p>At their core, robot vacuum mop combos are really just robot vacuums with an attached water reservoir and scrubbing pad. Thus, they work identically to regular robot vacuums on dry debris like crumbs and pet hair, but also dispense water or cleaning solution for mopping when on a hard floor. <\/p><p>The mopping mechanism can look a little different from there. Cheaper hybrid models require a person to manually attach a water tank or mopping pad to switch to mopping mode, while more advanced models always have mopping gear on board and are ready to start mopping whenever called upon. When the water tank is built in like that, these hybrid models are typically equipped with heightened floor type sensors and are smart enough to stay away from carpet or rugs while mopping while the hybrids that require manual swapping often need you to denote spots that they shouldn't mop through the app.<\/p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What’s the difference between Braava and Roomba? ","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"<p>True 2-in-1 robot vacuums aren't to be confused with dedicated robot mops like iRobot's Braava Jet, which is often sold in a bundle with a Roomba. Rather, true hybrids are robot vacuums with a water reservoir and mopping pad attached somewhere. Some mop more intensely than others, but the bottom line is the same: They vacuum identically to their non-mopping counterparts, but also dispense water to wipe hard floors.<\/p><p>For instance, when eyeing a mopping Roomba, you probably wouldn't choose the $300 to $450 on the <a href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/6XDVk?pageview_type=Standard&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=iRobot%20Braava%20Jet%20m6&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO&short_url=6XDVk&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-robot-vacuum-and-mop\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\">iRobot Braava Jet m6<\/a> (depending on if it's on sale) over the similarly-priced Roomba Combo i5+ or j6+. The Braava Jet m6 on its own won't vacuum, so you'd need to already have a robot vacuum, buy one, or do the vacuuming yourself before sending it out to mop. The Roomba, on the other hand, can do both, as well as empty itself and use small obstacle detection tech to avoid cords and pet waste. While either Combo's scrubbing may be slightly less meticulous than that of the Braava Jet m6, the discrepancy isn't enough to buy a standalone robotic mop.<\/p>"}}]}</script> <script

<p>Despite the enthusiasm of actors in Swiffer commercials, few people are smiling at the workout that is manually mopping their floors. </p><p>If you experience similar dread when faced with vacuuming, the best robot vacuum and mop combos will cross those two chores off of your list (three, if you count digging your old mop out of the closet as a chore in itself).</p><h2 id="are-robot-vacuums-good-at-mopping">Are robot vacuums good at mopping?</h2><p>I'm not saying you can expect a hybrid robot vacuum to scrub your kitchen grout with the same tenacity you would get with a toothbrush, but robot vacuums have gotten much better at mopping over the past few years.</p><p>Since 2020-ish, most <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-robot-vacuums" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">robot vacuum</a> companies have added at least one (several, in most cases) hybrid model to their lineup, with prices ranging from $200 to well over $1,000. You can generally expect the mopping technique to get a little more meticulous as price goes up, so the <em>type</em> of mess that your 2-in-1 model will need to conquer becomes a big deciding factor. Are you mostly concerned with wiping up spur-of-the-moment spills, or will you be a stickler about dried-on stains that call for more heavy-duty scrubbing?</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7"> <span class="font-bold text-primary-400">SEE ALSO:</span> <a href="https://mashable.com/review/dyson-360-vis-nav-robot-vacuum" class="flex items-center text-secondary-300"> <span class="ml-1">As a Dyson stan, I wouldn't tell anyone to buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum</span> <svg class="ml-1 w-4 h-4 font-normal fill-current"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-arrow-right-thin"></use></svg> </a> </div> <p>Fortunately, both ends of the pricing spectrum provide way more bang for their buck in 2024 than they did in the early 2020s. The mere presence of a cloth and a water tank is far from good enough at this point — now, the best robot vacuums and mops are armed with more mechanics attempting to mimic the elbow grease that a human with a mop or Swiffer would provide, like pressurized and/or spinning mopping pads (rather than lackadaisical, stationary ones). Most modern 2-in-1 robot vacuums can also mop with real germ-fighting cleaning solution rather than just water — key in upping my own personal confidence in walking around barefoot.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7"> <span class="font-bold text-primary-400">SEE ALSO:</span> <a href="https://mashable.com/article/ces-2025-best-robot-vacuums" class="flex items-center text-secondary-300"> <span class="ml-1">Top 3 best robot vacuums from CES 2025, from coolest to most practical</span> <svg class="ml-1 w-4 h-4 font-normal fill-current"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-arrow-right-thin"></use></svg> </a> </div> <p>But arguably, the most pivotal shift 2-in-1 robot vacuums saw in the past year isn't on the robot vacuums themselves but in their docks.

With one of these fancy self-cleaning stations, your robovac will be ready to mop again almost immediately — a clutch change from an older, more basic design that had us all choosing between manually washing a smelly mopping pad after each use, letting it mop with a dirty pad, or just avoiding the mopping feature altogether. </p><p>Not sure how fancy of a hybrid robot vacuum you even need at home? I've tested 15+ of the most popular robot vacuum and mop combos at a range of prices on my own floors at home, narrowing down your options to the top four robot vacuums that also wash your floors so far in 2025.</p><p>(Note that each vacuum's retail price is listed by default, but that I've also noted the most common sale price each vacuum frequently drops to in "The Good" section. And yes, robot vacuum deals are common all throughout the year — not just during a shopping holiday like Black Friday.)</p> </article> <div class="flex flex-row items-center mx-auto mt-12 max-w-3xl"> <div class="mr-4 text-xs font-bold text-primary-400">MORE:</div> <div class="flex overflow-x-auto overflow-y-hidden flex-row my-auto text-center"> <a class="block py-2 px-4 my-2 mr-3 text-xs font-bold whitespace-nowrap rounded-full border border-black" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" href="/roundup/best-vacuum-cleaner"> Best Vacuum Cleaner </a> <a class="block py-2 px-4 my-2 mr-3 text-xs font-bold whitespace-nowrap rounded-full border border-black" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" href="/roundup/best-shark-robot-vacuums"> Best Shark Robot Vacuums </a> <a class="block py-2 px-4 my-2 mr-3 text-xs font-bold whitespace-nowrap rounded-full border border-black" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" href="/roundup/best-robot-vacuums-for-small-spaces"> Best Robot Vacuums For Small Spaces </a> <a class="block py-2 px-4 my-2 text-xs font-bold whitespace-nowrap rounded-full border border-black" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" href="https://mashable.com/roundups"> All Best Products </a> </div> </div> <div class="flex flex-col mx-auto mt-8 space-y-5 max-w-3xl md:space-y-8 roundup-products-list"> <div x-data="{showGood:false, showBad:false, showDetail:false}" id="product-006CQWt00sav2dWF33wk8m6" data-ga-module="roundup-product-card" data-ga-element="roundup-product" class="font-sans !mt-12 px-6 border-2 border-gray-100"> <div class="w-14 h-2 md:ml-4 bg-secondary-200"></div> <div class="flex flex-wrap my-6 md:flex-nowrap md:mx-4"> <div class="w-full md:w-1/2"> <img class="object-scale-down max-h-full" src="https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/roundup-products/006CQWt00sav2dWF33wk8m6/product-image.fit_lpad.size_672x378.v1737998117.png" alt="Roborock Qrevo Master robot vacuum mopping hardwood and tile floor with side mopping pad extended" width="672" height="378" loading="lazy" > </div> <div class="flex flex-col justify-center mt-6 w-full md:pl-6 md:mt-0 md:w-2/3"> <div> <a href="https://cc.mashable.com/v1/otc/03bCs1jQxEftXGkZ7A6Km1e?merchant=05kie42h3YvHwjr4G1w80Qq&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Froborock-Qrevo-Master-Self-Emptying-Self-Cleaning%2Fdp%2FB0CWR5SHZP%2F&template=roundup&module=roundup-product-card&element=product-title&item=offer-title&position=1&element_label=Roborock+Qrevo+Master&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-robot-vacuum-and-mop&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO" data-commerce="1" target="_blank" rel="sponsored" data-parent-group="affiliate-link" title="(opens in a new window)" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-element="product-title" data-ga-action="offer-title" data-ga-item="offer-title" data-ga-label="Roborock Qrevo Master" data-ga-position="1" data-ga-module="roundup-product-card" data-aps-asin="B0CWR5SHZP" data-aps-asc-tag="mashable-editpost-20" data-aps-asc-subtag="07mddNmvkYIc1fDKSkIDlh0" class="block text-2xl font-bold hover:underline text-secondary-300 visited:text-secondary-300"> <h2> Roborock Qrevo Master </h2> </a> <h3 class="!text-sm font-bold uppercase md:text-base">Most detail-oriented mopping</h3> </div> <div class="flex mt-6"> <div class="w-full whitespace-nowrap md:flex-none md:w-44 grow"> <div class=""> <a href="https://cc.mashable.com/v1/otc/03bCs1jQxEftXGkZ7A6Km1e?merchant=05kie42h3YvHwjr4G1w80Qq&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Froborock-Qrevo-Master-Self-Emptying-Self-Cleaning%2Fdp%2FB0CWR5SHZP%2F&template=roundup&module=roundup-product-card&element=offer&item=offer-buy-button&position=1&element_label=%241%2C399.99+Amazon&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-robot-vacuum-and-mop&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO" data-commerce="1" target="_blank" rel="sponsored" data-parent-group="affiliate-link" title="(opens in a new window)" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-element="offer" data-ga-action="offer-buy-button" data-ga-item="offer-buy-button" data-ga-label="$1,399.99 Amazon" data-ga-position="1" data-ga-module="roundup-product-card" data-aps-asin="B0CWR5SHZP" data-aps-asc-tag="mashable-editpost-20" data-aps-asc-subtag="07mddNmvkYIc1fDKSkIDlh0" class="overflow-hidden px-2 mx-auto w-full font-sans text-base font-bold tracking-wide leading-6 text-center btn btn-secondary bg-secondary-300 text-ellipsis"> $1,399.99 Amazon </a> </div> <img class="block ml-2" width="63" height="22" title="Amazon Prime" src="/images/amazon-prime.svg" alt="Amazon Prime"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-8 mx-2 font-serif text-lg leading-loose border-t-2 border-gray-100 md:text-xl md:leading-7 editor-content"> <h3>Who it's for:</h3><p>The Roborock Qrevo Master is the robot vacuum to go for if you prioritize meticulous cleaning over staying within a certain budget. With self-washing and self-drying mopping pads, above-average suction power, and extending side arms that reach out to vacuum and mop in corners, the Roborock Qrevo Master is an exhaustive floor care suite best-suited for those willing to pay extra for the utmost barefoot readiness. </p><p>If you're like me — someone who cringes watching a robot vacuum almost spitefully ignore dust bunnies that have blown into a corner or sticky dried drops hiding under the kitchen cabinets — I'd say the wet and dry versions of the FlexiArm are fully worth the splurge.</p><h3>Why we picked this:</h3><p>Roborock has been on the self-washing and self-drying mopping pad beat since 2022, a year or two earlier than most of its biggest competitors. But there's one big innovation that made me choose the Qrevo Master over Roborock's more expensive <a href="https://zdcs.link/98LLb8?pageview_type=Standard&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=S8%20Max%20V%20Ultra&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO&short_url=98LLb8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-robot-vacuum-and-mop" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">S8 Max V Ultra</a>: a smaller third mopping pad that extends out from the side of the botvac to scrub in corners. (The Qrevo Master also has the vacuuming version of this.) This, plus sensors that enact another pass if a spill is particularly messy, makes the Qrevo Master's mopping feel much more thorough than a vac that kind of just mops aimlessly.</p><p>The Qrevo Master also stays on pace with the S8 MaxV Ultra with 10,000 Pa of suction power (some of the most powerful on the market), automatic suction boost when carpet is detected, and a pet camera that can livestream everything the robot vacuum sees as it's cleaning. All three have been a relief to rely on as a mom of two cats who shed constantly, dig in potted plants, and find new ways to mess around every time I'm not home.</p> </div> <div class="py-6 mx-2

people doing a balancing act between budget and automation. If you're down to splurge past a few hundred dollars to outsource not only mopping, but also maintenance of those soggy mopping pads through a more advanced self-empty dock, Eufy's flagship model is the rare option that'll bring that home for less than $1,000. (The same can't be said for similarly-priced hybrids like the <a href="https://zdcs.link/6XyWj?pageview_type=Standard&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Roomba%20Combo%20j7%2B&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO&short_url=6XyWj&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-robot-vacuum-and-mop" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">Roomba Combo j7+</a> or <a href="https://zdcs.link/4Aq0k?pageview_type=Standard&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Roborock%20Q8%20Max%2B&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=06t9EaKN6ejSOzCAZrE8HpO&short_url=4Aq0k&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-robot-vacuum-and-mop" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">Roborock Q8 Max+</a>.) </p><p>For large homes where a majority of the flooring demands both mopping and vacuuming, the exceptional battery life here will really sweeten the deal. Whether that space comes in the form of multiple stories or just square footage on a main floor, the X10 Pro Omni will be able to clean in a variety of intensity modes for at least two hours without needing to charge.</p><h3>Why we picked this:</h3><p>Eufy's first stab at the fully self-sufficient tank and mopping system — the main thing that separates average hybrids from premium hybrids — was a major win. Past the self-cleaning dock, I was surprised to see a hybrid in this price range with dual spinning mopping pads, which scrub a little more ferociously than stationary pads. Eufy's new hybrid had no issues wiping up splatters of buffalo sauce, dusty paw prints, and small chunks of wet cat food off of <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-robot-vacuums-for-hardwood-floors" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">hardwood floor</a>. </p><p>Success on the <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-robot-vacuums-for-tile-floors" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">tiled bathroom floor</a> was hindered by overly cautious obstacle avoidance that mistook a bath mat for a towel and refused to even vacuum the area. Even so, having small obstacle avoidance at all is still crucial for confidently sending the robot vacuum out to clean when you're not home to get it unstuck. No laptop chargers or socks were harmed in my apartment, even when set directly in front of the X10 Pro Omni's cleaning path on purpose.</p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/review/eufy-x10-pro-omni"

the decision boils down to how much you want to spend. Anyone firmly in the "absolutely nowhere near $1,000 category" should opt for the Roomba Combo j5+ — that is, if you can wait for it to drop to its sub-$500 sale price. It's the cheapest mopping Roomba with obstacle avoidance technology, which is a must for anyone whose home is, well, lived in. With that tech, you can feel confident in sending your robot vacuum out to clean in the spur of the moment without having to do a cleanup of things like cords, slippers, or toys first. </p><h3>Why we picked this:</h3><p>The combination of iRobot's super reliable small obstacle avoidance, smart mapping, self-emptying, and mopping make the Roomba Combo j5+ quite the threat in the $400 to $600 category (depending on the sale price you come across). It also has the same suction power and self-empty dock as the slightly pricier <a href="https://mashable.com/review/irobot-roomba-combo-j7-plus" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Roomba Combo j7+</a>. Both are decent for keeping daily crumbs, kitty litter, and dust bunnies, but aren't heavy-duty enough to pay real attention to corners or dig up layers of shedding that build up in carpet over time.</p><p>In terms of mopping, the Roomba Combo j5+ is basic but sufficient for wiping up most daily spills, keeping dirty doorways a little more sanitary, and performing surface-level dustings in areas with debris too small to suck up. No, it's not the absolute most powerful Roomba or the Roomba with the most automated mopping system — but in terms of the number of features you're getting for the money, I think that the on-sale Combo j5+ is more of a bang for your buck than the top-tier Roomba Combo 10 Max. (Because for the amount of money the Combo 10 Max costs, I'd just tell you to use that coin on a vac from a different brand that does more.)</p> </div> <div class="py-6 mx-2 border-t-2

your robot mop actually scrubs the floor well, then consider the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1. This hybrid will do a more meticulous job than other hybrids in the same price range. </p><p>While the Shark Matrix 2-in-1 is safe to send into fully carpeted rooms, you also have to manually draw a no-mopping box around every single rug on the map. People in homes with a complex rug situation may want to opt for a more advanced bot that automatically stops mopping when it senses soft floors.</p><h3>Why we picked this:</h3><p>You can think of the Matrix Clean system as the robot vacuum embodiment of the "and one for good measure" approach when it comes to cleaning. Despite its entry-level price point, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 proved itself in my at-home cleaning tests, particularly when it came to spot cleaning. Activating Matrix cleaning mode while mopping triggers the mopping pad to vibrate 100 times per minute and go over the desired area multiple times. When I'm wiping up a spill with a paper towel by hand, I wouldn't settle for a single, initial wipe. Why should my robot vacuum?</p><p>In Matrix mode during regular vacuuming, these Shark models dish out 30 percent better carpet cleaning than the older RV Shark models by vacuuming in a crosshatch pattern to loosen and grab debris from multiple angles.</p><p>Though the cleaning obviously wasn't as deep as the more premium <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-shark-robot-vacuums" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Shark PowerDetect that came out more than a year later,</a> the Matrix Plus 2-in-1 always did a sufficient job at light daily upkeep of kitty litter in my bathroom or minor drops on my hardwood kitchen floor. In fact, I found myself reaching for this Shark over the similarly-priced Roombas that I was testing at the same time — they were missing stuff way more often.</p><p><a

popular robot vacuums for Mashable in the various apartments I've lived in since 2019 — most recently, a three-bedroom apartment where three people and two cats reside. I tested more than 10 hybrid models in 2024 and am about to get hands-on with the Roborock Saros Z10 and Dreame X50 Ultra, both of which were released at CES 2025.</p><p>Over the course of at least four weeks, each robot vacuum is put through <a href="https://mashable.com/about/how-we-test-robot-vacuums" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">a series of standardized tests</a> that I’ve laid out to exemplify all factors of trusting a robot vacuum in your home on a daily basis. Those tests cover four main pillars of robot vacuum competence:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Cleaning thoroughness:</strong> Cleaning thoroughness: To encapsulate the full spectrum of messes a robot vacuum might encounter, each one is sent out to tackle various spills, debris, levels of pet hair, and more on multiple floor types. The vacs that mop perform extra tests on stains and spills.</p></li><li><p><strong>Navigation:</strong> A robot vacuum’s ability to get to the right spot in the first place is arguably as important as the cleaning itself. I keep tabs on navigational accuracy when it comes to smart mapping my home, finding specific rooms and zones, and identifying small obstacles.</p></li><li><p><strong>User-friendliness and politeness as a house guest:</strong> The ideal robot vacuum will be a relatively seamless addition to your household. Because if it’s loud, an eye sore, or generally a pain to use, you're not going to want it in your house at all.</p></li><li><p><strong>Maintenance:</strong> Anyone aiming to avoid manual sweeping may also want to avoid manual upkeep of a vacuum. Many robot vacuums automate their own dust bin emptying, mopping pad washing, and more — the more self-sufficient they are, the better.</p></li></ol><p>Finally, I have to consider the overall bang for your buck for each robot vacuum. Are its features on paper and actual cleaning competence worth the price tag, and how practical is that cost for the average household?</p> </div> </div> <section class="mx-auto mt-12 max-w-3xl"> <h2 id="frequently-asked-questions" class="text-3xl font-bold">Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <div class="mb-12 md:mb-16"> <div x-data="{drawerOpen: true}" class="pt-4"> <hr class="w-full border border-gray-100"> <button @click="drawerOpen = !drawerOpen" class="flex mt-4 w-full"> <h3 class="text-xl font-bold text-left grow">How do robot vacuum mops work?</h3> <div> <svg x-show="drawerOpen" class="inline-block w-6 h-6"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-chevron-down"></use></svg> <svg x-show="!drawerOpen" class="inline-block w-6 h-6"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-chevron-right"></use></svg> </div> </button> <div x-show="drawerOpen" class="font-serif editor-content"><p>At their core, robot vacuum mop combos are really just robot vacuums with an attached water reservoir and scrubbing pad. Thus, they work identically to regular robot vacuums on dry debris like crumbs and pet hair, but also dispense water or cleaning solution for mopping when on a hard floor. </p><p>The mopping mechanism can look a little different from there. Cheaper hybrid models require a person to manually attach a water tank or mopping pad to switch to mopping mode, while more advanced models always have mopping gear on board and are ready to start mopping whenever called upon. When the water tank is built in like that, these hybrid models are typically equipped with heightened floor type sensors and are smart enough to stay away from carpet or rugs while mopping while the hybrids that require manual swapping often need you to denote spots that they shouldn't mop through the app.</p></div> </div> <div x-data="{drawerOpen: false}" class="pt-4"> <hr class="w-full border border-gray-100"> <button @click="drawerOpen = !drawerOpen" class="flex mt-4 w-full"> <h3 class="text-xl font-bold text-left grow">What’s the difference between Braava and Roomba? </h3> <div> <svg x-show="drawerOpen" class="inline-block w-6 h-6"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-chevron-down"></use></svg> <svg x-show="!drawerOpen" class="inline-block w-6 h-6"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-chevron-right"></use></svg> </div> </button> <div x-show="drawerOpen" class="font-serif editor-content"><p>True 2-in-1 robot vacuums aren't to be confused with dedicated robot mops like iRobot's Braava Jet, which is often sold in a bundle with a Roomba.

The Roomba, on the other hand, can do both, as well as empty itself and use small obstacle detection tech to avoid cords and pet waste. While either Combo's scrubbing may be slightly less meticulous than that of the Braava Jet m6, the discrepancy isn't enough to buy a standalone robotic mop.</p></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <section class="mx-auto mt-12 max-w-3xl border-t border-gray-200 border-solid"> <div class="py-8 w-full"> <div class="flex flex-col items-center pb-8 border-b border-gray-200 md:flex-row md:space-x-8"> <div class="flex flex-col justify-center items-center space-y-4 text-center md:flex-row md:justify-start md:space-y-0 md:space-x-6 md:text-left"> <img class="w-24 h-24 rounded-full border border-gray-200" src="https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/authors/03k7KMOCNiuyPls236AD1z9/image.fill.size_100x100.v1624381054.jpg" alt="Leah Stodart" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy" > <div class="flex flex-col space-y-2"> <div class="w-full font-bold header-200">Leah Stodart</div> <div class="w-full text-xl font-bold">Senior Shopping Reporter</div> </div> </div> <div class="flex flex-row justify-center pt-4 mt-8 w-full border-t border-gray-200 md:justify-start md:pt-0 md:pl-4 md:mt-0 md:w-auto md:border-t-0 md:border-l md:border-solid space-x4" style="height:75px;align-items:center;"> <a href="https://twitter.com/notleah" class="px-3 hover:text-primary-400" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="(opens in a new window)"> <svg class="inline-block w-5 h-5 fill-current md:h-4"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-twitter-brands"></use></svg> </a> </div> </div> <div class="mx-0 max-w-3xl font-serif editor-content"> <p>Leah Stodart is a Philadelphia-based Senior Shopping Reporter at Mashable where she covers essential home tech like vacuums and TVs as well as sustainable swaps and travel. Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.</p><p>The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.</p><p>Leah graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with dual degrees in Sociology and Media Studies. When she's not writing about shopping (or shopping online for herself), she's almost definitely watching a horror movie, "RuPaul's Drag Race," or "The Office."
