Best robot mops of 2023

Smart robot mops aren’t as flashy as other smart home gadgets, but they can definitely help save you time. The goal of smart devices is to handle day-to-day activities for you without you having to think or worry about them. Robot mops, as well as their vacuum brethren, perform that task well.

There are plenty of great robot mops to choose from today, many of which also work as vacuums. Whether you want a thrifty option or something with tons of premium features, there’s sure to be a robot mop that suits your needs.

Here’s a look at the best robot mops of 2023, including products from iRobot, Roborock, and Ecovacs.

iRobot Braava Jet M6

overall best

First up on the list is our best overall smart mop, the iRobot Braava Jet m6. This device is our top choice for all of its features, especially working in conjunction with some of iRobot’s robot vacuums. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive.

The Braava Jet M6 will map out your kitchen or home after running it a few times to ensure it is cleaning in the most efficient manner. You can also use the app to restrict areas the mop can enter, although it will avoid carpet by default. It also has an easy to remove and refill water tank.

The Braava Jet M6 will wipe down as much as possible before returning to the dock. If the battery runs out before you finish cleaning, it will come back on and recharge before going back out to finish the job. This mop is the only option that works for both small and large areas.

iLife V5s Pro

Best for small apartments

Next up is the iLife V5S Pro, which is actually a combo vacuum and mop. Being the quietest robot cleaner, it takes the spot on our list as the best for a small apartment. It’s a bit small for its size, but not as small as the Braava Jet 240.

The V5s Pro doesn’t have a huge number of features, but it does come with a simple remote if the app or your phone is out of reach. It will last for about two hours before it has to go back to the dock to charge.

To convert the V5s Pro from a vacuum to a mop, or vice versa, you’ll need to remove the dustpan from the bottom and replace it with a water tank.

EchoVox Deebot X2 Omni

best self cleaning mop

If you’re looking for a robot mop that also works as a robot vacuum, the X2 Omni should be at the top of your list. With two rotating mopping pads, the Its mops will also retract to keep it from getting wet when traveling over carpet.

Once cleaning is complete, the X2 Omni will return to its dock to empty its trash, mop and then run a drying cycle. This means you don’t have to get your hands dirty to keep your floors clean. These drying cycles take a little time to perform, but it’s better than dealing with them yourself.

Throw in the great navigation skills, easy-to-use smartphone app, and attractive design, and it’s easy to see why the EchoVox Deebot X2 Omni is so popular. Many homeowners also like its square footprint, as it gives the robot better access to corners and crevices than the typical circular design. All of these features come with a hefty price tag, but it’s worth adding to your home if you want a fully automated cleaning experience.

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

Best for carpet and hard floors

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra offers many of the same features as the Deebot X2 Omni. It includes a self-washing and drying system as well as a self-emptying dustbin. However, it uses a single vibrating mopping pad instead of two rotating mopping pads to clean the floors. Along with vibration, the robot applies constant pressure while mopping to help clean tough stains.

If you want to keep your floors as clean as possible, you can mix in Roborock’s floor cleaning solution. The S8 Pro Ultra also benefits from 6,000 Pa of suction for impressive vacuuming performance, although it’s the Duo Roller Brushing system that really allows it to deliver a superior clean.

Using your smartphone, you can program in different mopping schedules, set restricted zones or enable off-peak charging to help save on your energy bills. This makes it a great all-around robot that is perfect for homes with both carpeted and hard floors.
