How to Choose a Robot Hoover and Mop

Some robot mops are vacuums that sweep. Some do both. For those that only sweep, they need to have their dustbins frequently emptied and their sweeping pads discarded or machine-washed.

It is also important to wash regularly (or replace) mop mops for those who mop. Vacuum-proof your home and keep things like cords, pet toys, and clothes out of reach.

How it works

The motor is the most important element of a robotic vacuum, as it generates suction to draw dirt and other debris out of the vacuum bag. Certain robot cleaners feature combination roller brushes, side brush and mops that help agitate and raise particles into the suction. Certain robotic cleaners come with clever features, such as the ability to return to the dock when it is charged and full. Some machines have voice activation as well as smart home integration. You can control the machine using your smartphone app or your preferred assistant.

Sensors aid robots in navigating their environment by avoiding obstacles and tense corners. Common sensors include cliff and obstacle sensors, which prevent the robot from falling off stairs or getting stuck under furniture. Some robots have dirt sensors that notify you when the robot is dirty and needs to be emptied. Many advanced robot vacuums and mop models are equipped with many smart features, such as smart mapping and smart mops that differentiate between hard floors and carpets.

Some robot vacuums that come with mop pads come with a multi-function dock, which will automatically empty the bin and clean the mop pads and replenish the water tank. They could also be able to complete dual tasks, combining vacuuming and mopping during the same time. They can also be set up to clean a certain area or room in your house on a regular schedule. For instance, you could program your robot to vacuum then mop your living room each day and at night for a week.

Despite their advanced features, most robot vacuum and mop combos are still in development. The top robot vacuums and mop combos, like the Eufy Narwal or Roborock Revo, are smart enough to keep your floors tidy.

The time required to clean a room could also be affected by how many obstacles the robot faces and whether it has to push furniture, stay clear of socks and shoe tassels or navigate clutter-filled rooms.

Some robotic vacuums and mop systems are able to sense carpets, and adjust their power settings accordingly. However, they may still leave behind some dirt - particularly on shag or high-pile rugs. Some models use more power to navigate over carpets that are thick than others, and can cause battery drain quickly.

Other factors can impact a robot's performance, including the condition of its accessories and the frequency at which it has to be maintained. A tangled side-brush can be enough to stop the robot from performing its job, while an unclean or dirty filter can cause it to overheat, or even shut off from the internet.

ECOVACS robots are equipped with clever features that reduce the demand on accessories and prolong their life span. Self-emptying stations decrease the risk of overflows while ZeroTangle eliminates tangles in brushes. These technologies, in conjunction with smart mapping and intelligent sensors, allow a ECOVACS robot to work more efficiently.

All ECOVACS robots feature an automatic refill mode which automatically refills the wiper blades and water tank when they run low. They also feature automatic vacuum cleaner docking for time and energy savings. You can program them to return to the dock after cleaning or go into sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. If you want the robot to not skip a specific period you can set it to DND (Do Not Disturb) period, which will stop it from using the battery or going into cleaning mode until you restart it.

Some mops, like the Noesis Florio use disposable pads that are washed automatically at the dock after every cleaning cycle. Others, such as the L20 Ultra, use reusable pads that can be machine washed and can be reused for up to 20 times.
