I’m not implying that each robot vacuum designed for mopping will clean your kitchen grout as effectively as you could with a toothbrush. Nonetheless, the leading robot vacuum and mop combinations have made remarkable strides recently. Many now include intelligent mopping modes that offer deeper cleaning for particular spills or stains, with some even employing AI sensors to assess if a particular area is clean enough. Additionally, you can set your robot vacuum to make several passes over soiled floors through the app’s settings, which is one of my preferred tips for boosting your vacuum’s efficiency.

Hybrid robot vacuums equipped with self-emptying docks are becoming increasingly advanced. The finest robot mop combinations can automatically clean and dry their mopping pads, dispense cleaning solution, and replenish themselves with fresh water from the dock. Ideally, maintaining the mopping pads should be nearly as automated as the cleaning itself.

If you’re contemplating one of the sophisticated mopping robot vacuums but are wary of the cost, bear in mind that Black Friday is the prime time of year to acquire a robot vacuum at a reduced price. Discounts on robot vacuums during Black Friday typically exceed those offered during Amazon’s October Prime Day. All the robot vacuum suggestions in this compilation have recently been discounted, so I expect those sale prices to hit new lows this November. It’s also the final major sale event before the new year, when many new robot vacuums debut at CES in January. Retailers frequently offer substantial discounts on older models to clear space for new flagship offerings.

Recent updates to this guide:

– Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra: Included on Nov. 13, 2025, as the “best robot vacuum mop combo under $1,000” when discounted. The Eufy X10 Pro Omni received a similar designation, now recognized as the “best robot vacuum mop combo under $500,” reflecting a common sale price.
– Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller: Included on Oct. 18, 2025, currently labeled the “best roller mop robot vacuum,” but it’s a strong candidate for the “best overall” selection.
– Roborock Saros 10R: Previously the top choice for the best robot vacuum and mop, now referred to as the “best corner mopping” vacuum as of October 2025.

Other robot vacuums I’ve assessed recently:

I’ve evaluated several other hybrid robot vacuums that didn’t make the list. Some, such as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock Qrevo Master, and Narwal Freo X Ultra, were once leading picks but have been eclipsed in performance and value by newer models.

I’ve also examined some 2025 robot vacuum introductions that were satisfactory but not strong contenders for this list. The Dreame X50 Ultra drew attention during its CES 2025 launch for its “climbing” capabilities, although it struggles with thresholds exceeding 6 millimeters (about 2.36 inches). The Roborock Saros 10 and 10R effectively maneuvered through the thick doorway thresholds in my apartment, just like the X50 Ultra. Its vacuuming and mopping abilities surpass most mid-range robot vacuums, but they aren’t impressive enough to recommend over either Saros variant.

I’m also trying out the new lineup of 2025 Roombas. However, due to iRobot’s financial struggles and unpredictable future, I’m only endorsing one mopping Roomba (the Combo 505) for now, and solely if it’s discounted. The Roomba Combo 205 DustCompactor might be a viable option if you can’t allocate floor space for a self-empty dock. However, for one of iRobot’s latest vacuums, I anticipated more seamless and intelligent navigation.
