Club Benefits
There was a time when I'd never recommend a robot mop to anyone. Back when I started reviewing them, these gadgets offered little more than a damp microfiber pad, which would drag dirt around your floors and even onto carpets.
Well, after 6 years of testing the best robot mops, I can finally get on board. Today's models come with rolling mop brushes or spinning pads that exert real downward force to scrub up stains. If, like me, your mop comes in most handy in the kitchen, you'll also love models with extending mop arms that reach deep under counters or furniture to pick up every last mark from your floors.
There was also a time when this guide would feature dedicated robot mop machines, but in today's market, all the best robot vacuums feature built-in mop features, meaning there are very few standalone mop models on the market. Even so, every model listed in our guide has been put through its paces on dried-on soy sauce stians, muddy paw prints, and splashes of ketchup. Only the top performers made it into our top five.
My overall top pick is the Dyson Spot+Scrub AI. It's the machine I use in my own home every day, and it does a great job of detecting stains and targeting them as it methodically cleans my entire home. Looking for something a bit more budget friendly? The Dreame L10S Ultra Gen 2 impressed us with its spinning mop pads and extending arm, meaning it can reach into those nooks your old mop and bucket couldn't.

Best overall
The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai is large, expensive, and comes with a divisive design. But boy, can it mop. This option sits in our main robot vacuum guide as our pick for best mopping, and that's thanks to its extending roller mop that expertly picks up sticky dried-on stains and fresh splodges of ketchup on the first pass.
There's no need to choose between vacuuming and mopping, as both are handled in one go, supported by a heated roller that lifts more grime than your average mop. If you want to see a particularly gross image of the color of the dirty water that came out of a week's testing, just scroll in the gallery above!
Navigation is also a highlight. The Spot+Scrub Ai quickly mapped our downstairs in under ten minutes and reliably avoided chair legs and rogue socks in multiple test runs. We also appreciated how seamlessly this vacuum transitioned between vacuum and mopping, faultlessly detecting hard flooring and carpet and adjusting its cleaning mode accordingly (without streaks or spills). Its accurate mapping and obstacle detection mean you can let it run without much prep or worry, aligning with anyone seeking a truly low-effort cleaning routine.
While it's not quite as capable a vacuum as the Eufy Omni S2, the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai is a winner if mopping is your top priority. It stands out for ease of use, with its self-emptying, bagless bin and simple tank swaps meaning you’ll spend less time fussing with your robot and more time enjoying clean floors. Just be prepared for a larger dock and a higher price tag than budget rivals.

Best budget
The Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2 stands out for budget buyers by delivering an impressive overall cleaning performance and exceptional mopping power. When we put it to the test, it handled daily dirt and sticky messes with confidence, making it a practical choice for homes with kids or pets.
This mop and vacuum combo excelled on hard floors in particular, picking up 80% of Cheerios and 95% of kitty litter. While it may not outpace the most premium models, its core cleaning abilities are reliable where it counts. Maintenance is blissfully minimal. The large dustbag matches that of the Dyson Spot+Scrub, albeit without the bagless design, and its clean and dirty water containers are also massive, reducing the need to empty or top them up between uses.
While we prefer a rolling mop bar where possible, the Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2's spinning mop pad combo is a fantastic feature for the price. Even more impressive is the customization on offer: there are 31 moisture settings, which makes this a good option for homes with wooden flooring that may want to prevent any lingering damp after mopping. The roller pads even extend, meaning they can reach along baseboards and into the corners of your kitchen as the robot maps your room. We didn't find a 100% success rate with this feature in our tests, but it's still handy for those hard-to-reach places.
Navigation is where trade-offs appear. The L10s Ultra Gen 2 sometimes struggled with tight corners, and we docked points for the shoddy AI routing. While not a dealbreaker for open layouts, those with complex floor plans may notice the difference compared to pricier models.
The L10s Ultra Gen 2 carves out a sweet spot for shoppers who value solid cleaning and mopping without paying a premium. If you want dependable cleaning at a wallet-friendly price, this is the model to consider.

Best for pets
First things first, if you're looking for pure vacuuming and mopping power, the Eufy Omni S2 is our top pick. It's got an unmatched 30,000 Pa of suction power, which is almost twice that of the Dyson Spot+Scrub. Another major plus is its fragrance dispensers, which will pick up stains and dirt and leave fresh-scented air in their wake.
The 12-in-1 Omni Station dock empties the bin, washes and dries the mop pad, and refills the water tank automatically, making the Eufy Omni S2 a super low-maintenance pick. Another feature you'll only find on super premium machines is its automatic detergent dispenser. On the likes of our top pick, the Dyson, you'll need to pre-mix detergent into your clean water tank, but Eufy takes care of this with the Omni S2 and can even tailor the strength for you.
On hard floors, the S2’s cleaning is genuinely impressive. In our real-world tests, it consistently lifted dried coffee and juice stains that lesser hybrids often leave behind. The mop leaves tile and hardwood looking freshly wiped, and the vacuum function is almost as thorough as top dedicated models thanks to its excellent 1.5kg of mopping downforce. If you're used to dealing with serious staining or constant pet messes, look no further.
That said, the S2 isn’t flawless. Its navigation can be inconsistent, sometimes missing smaller areas or struggling with room mapping. At a premium price point, these glitches, plus the ongoing cost of proprietary cleaning fluids and dustbags, are worth considering if you expect perfection for your investment.
If your priority is the deepest clean for both hard floors and carpet, with minimal upkeep, the S2 leads the pack. Just be sure you’re comfortable with its high upfront and ongoing costs.

Best for app settings
If you’re looking for a robot mop you can leave alone across multiple rooms, thresholds, and the occasional obstacle, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow’s robust navigation means you won’t be babysitting it or rescuing it from tangles under the couch. What really adds to the hands-off appeal is its excellent smart home compatibility. You could set up and control the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow through Alexa, Google Home, and Siri, making it easy to schedule routines or tweak no-go zones without complicated app wrangling.
As for the mopping, this smart option comes with our a roller mop, which is preferable to spinning pads or the mop pads of cheaper robot vacuum models. The roller design feeds the mop with a constant flow of clean water, which means the machine won't spread dirt in its wake. We did find that this roller mop left some streaks, but thanks to the fine-tuned app customization on offer, we were able to fix this in seconds.
Another smart feature is the DirTect setting, which identifies messes and adapts the cleaning settings accordingly. If you want to trust that your vacuum will run a hands-free, targeted clean, this is a real win.
If you need a robot with suction to tackle tough stains or heavy pet messes, you might want to check out the Eufy Omni S2 above. But for buyers who prioritize smart, reliable daily performance above all else, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the clear pick.

Best for large homes
With self-emptying, automatic water refilling and mop pad self-cleaning, the Roborock QV 35S offers real cleaning power at a price we can get on board with. And thanks to its 130-minute battery life and generous water tank, the QV 35S is also a top pick for homes with large floor plans.
The QV 35S offers 10,000 Pa of suction, so it’s capable of deep cleaning both hard floors and low-pile carpets, but won't compete with the likes of the Eufy Omni S2 for pure vacuum power. Even so, in our tests, it picked up 94% of test debris on hard floors and handled a week’s worth of tracked-in dirt without leaving visible patches behind.
As for the mopping, the Roborock impressed us with its smart surface detection, automatically lifting up its mop pads over rugs and carpets. It picked up dirt, dried soy sauce and splashes of mayonnaise in our standardized tests, automatically taking multiple passes at the soy sauce, our trickiest stain.
For a vacuum at this price, the maintenance routine is refreshingly simple, with self-emptying, automatic water refilling, and a mop pad that cleans itself after every run. Although it lacks a separate detergent tank, we wouldn't expect this feature in a sub-$1,000 model.
Day-to-day usability is another high point. The QV 35S runs for up to 130 minutes per charge, covering most apartments or small homes in a single session before recharging. It also operates quietly, making it possible to run while you’re working from home without constant background noise.
The QV 35S trades some advanced features and raw power for a much lower price. If you want strong cleaning and easy maintenance without the extras, it’s a smart value pick.

Also tested
We've spent countless hours testing robot vacuums here at Tom's Guide. While most perform well, not all give an outstanding mopping performance. That's due to a lack of power or features at higher prices or more niche use cases that aren't as versatile for tough stains. Still, the models below are worth checking out if you only need light cleaning tasks.
How we test the best robot mops
We get hands-on with every robot vacuum featured in our guides, and that includes the best robot mops. We've tested models with a range of features, from the classic microfiber mopping pad, which drags along the floor as your vacuum cleans, to dedicated mopping rollers that apply downward force to remove much more than surface-level dirt.
In our tests, we work with real-world scenarios, including tracked-in mud and paw prints, stains from tried tea, coffee or soy sauce, and splodges of ketchup or mayonnaise. We also test whether these get tracked across other flooring types such as carpet, and whether the vacuum can tell when it needs another pass to pick up stains.
