Retire your old mop and bucket. The top robot mops we’ve tested keep your floors squeaky clean with little effort on your part.
Thanks to robot mops, you no longer need to exert any elbow grease to have a shiny floor. Like robot vacuums, you can now find a dizzying variety of robot mops with a range of features and prices. At PCMag, we’ve been reviewing autonomous floor scrubbers since these devices first gained popularity more than a decade ago, so you’ve come to the right place when searching for the best robot mop for your home. The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop earns our highest recommendation for its versatility, scrubbing power, and self-maintenance abilities. That said, if you want to save money or you’re looking for a different set of features, we have a variety of models on this list to help you find the best robot mop for your needs and budget.Why We Picked It
The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni features an innovative mop design, similar to a paint roller, that scrubs your floors with 4,000Pa of pressure while spinning at 200rpm. The relatively unique mop keeps itself clean as it works, as a scraper whisks away the dirty water while it spins, and 16 nozzles keep it doused with fresh water and cleaning solution. It can also keep your floors clear of dust and pet hair, with 18,000Pa of vacuum suction power. It can lift its mop over the carpet, or you can set it to vacuum the carpet first before wetting its mop. When back at the base, it empties its own dustbin and washes and dries its own mop to prepare for the next run. Who It’s For
People who want it all: If you don’t want to put any effort toward cleaning your floors, and you’re willing to pay for that convenience, the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni should be at the top of your list thanks to its effective roller mop, strong suction power, and useful self-maintenance features.
Homes with a mix of flooring types: With excellent sweeping and scrubbing performance, it’s a top choice for homes with a mix of carpet and hard flooring. It navigates efficiently, making it a good fit for large homes with extensive floor space.
Pet owners: The Deebot X8 thoroughly removes pet hair without tangles, making it an ideal choice for those with furry roommates. Moreover, it applies sufficient pressure with its mop to remove grime from hard flooring, and the roller design helps limit cross-contamination. Why We Picked It
Made by one of the most respected names in the robotic floor cleaner market, the iRobot Braava Jet m6 is among the best standalone robot mops. When mopping, the M6 sprays a specific area with a cleaning solution (or plain water) and goes over it a few times before moving on and repeating the process, picking up a lot more dirt and grime than we expected. It can detect and automatically avoid carpeting, and it rarely gets stuck. Moreover, it’s easy to use, supports app and voice control, and maps out your home for targeted room cleaning.Who It’s For
Homes with mostly hard floors: The Braava Jet m6 is an excellent standalone robot mop for homes with mostly hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring. It doesn’t vacuum, but it thoroughly scrubs hard floors. With its long battery life and the ability to cover up to 1,000 square feet on a single charge, the m6 is suitable for both apartments and larger homes.
Roomba fans: This makes a nice addition to your cleaning repertoire if you already own an iRobot Roomba i, j, or s series robot vacuum. You can link them in the app and configure the mop to start a run once the vacuum finishes cleaning your floors.Why We Picked It
The TP-Link Tapo RV30 Max Plus is priced below $300 and still checks all the right boxes in terms of key features to make your life easier. It features LiDAR navigation, which helps it move efficiently through your home. After it vacuums, it empties its dirt into a bag in its base station. Both of those features, in particular, are tough to find for this price. The RV30 Max Plus is also a hybrid vacuum and mop. A washable mop pad sticks onto a hard plate that snaps onto the dustbin. Put it in place, fill the labeled compartment in the dustbin with water, and the RV30 is ready to mop. Thanks to its mapping capabilities, you can even dictate which floors need mopping and which don’t.Who It’s For
Budget shoppers: If you don’t need anything particularly fancy, it’s hard to go wrong with the sheer value of the Tapo RV30 Max Plus.
