Best Automatic Vacuum and Mop Combos
The Narwal Freo X Ultra robot vacuum and mop is among the most efficient combos I've ever tried. Its base station has a large dustbin and water tank, and its dual rubber brushes are less susceptible to hair tangles than single bristles.
Its mopping performance is excellent and its AI mapping excels at getting around obstacles. It is also able to stop the cleaning process and resume from where it began.

The Roomba Combo j9+ is one of the most sophisticated 2-in-1 mop and robot vacuum cleaners available today. It has a sleek, self-emptying Clean Base which can be used to store up to two mopping cycles. It is designed to look like a small desk. It's also the only robot mop we've tested that comes with a water reservoir on board to automatically wash and refill the cleaning pads after each vacuum and mopping cycle.
The mopping arm is placed on top of the unit until it spots hard floors, then it lowers to begin scrubs. It moves slowly and cautiously over surfaces so it doesn't accidentally splash wet spills or mud on carpeted areas. It is capable of staying out of the way of furniture, cords and other obstacles.
It's smarter than most robot vacuums thanks to the iRobot Home app, which allows you to modify your cleaner's settings and prioritize rooms based on dirtiness, set cleaning times and schedules and much more.

In contrast to other mopping and vacuum robots that are available, the Roomba j9+ creates a complete map of your home 7x faster than previous models and also labels each space by floor type, ensuring that it'll always be aware of when to vacuum or mop the area you want. It also has a new Turbo Mode that boosts suction power for those tough spots. In addition, with iRobot's Dirt detective software, it will identify your habits of cleaning and preferences, allowing it to automatically adjust your cleaning priorities and settings, including mop scrubbing movements, for the dirtiest areas of your home.
