The Infrequently Known Benefits To Self Emptying Robot Vacuum And Mop

If you're looking for a two-in-one machine that automatically empties its own bin of dust and mops without your intervention, consider this smart option. It also comes with a range of features for mapping and Alexa integration.

This machine is expensive however, it's great at cleaning up dust and spills. It is equipped with advanced programming to eliminate obstacles and can be placed in zones to mop or vacuum.

1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

This robotic vacuum and mop combines an attractive design with the most advanced robotic technology. Its powerful smartphone app helps you manage routine maintenance tasks, such as emptying the tiny dust bin and cleaning the mop's pad between usage. It can also be docked at a self-emptying base, which automatically empties and cleans it after every cleaning cycle. It's one of the only robots with these features at a high price, and it performed well in our tests.

Roborock changed the design of its S8 Pro Ultra from last year's model. The focus was on improving the vacuum's ability to avoid objects and enhancing its cleaning power. The result is a more efficient and cleaner machine. It is equipped with a stronger suction motor and two rubber rollers on its floorhead. This makes it better for picking up debris and pet hair from carpets as well as bare floors. The battery has been upgraded to last for up to 180 minutes and it can be charged on a schedule to help lower electricity costs.

The most significant change is the robot's new RockDock Ultra docking station, that does more than empty and clean its contents after each cleaning cycle. It also cleans the mop pad, dry it using warm air, and refills its water tank. This feature sets it apart from its competitors as it cuts down on the amount of time and effort required to maintain it.

From the box it comes with a power cable and S8 Pro Ultra is easy to set up. You'll require an internet connection to download the companion app and connect your docking station with an additional mop pad. Once you've done that, you're set to begin cleaning.

In our tests, we observed that the S8 Pro Ultra was able to pick up most of the surface debris and embedded dust on medium-pile and bare floors. The power of its vacuum isn't quite as powerful as our top pick, the Roomba j7+ by iRobot however, it's a powerful and versatile machine that's well worth your time.

The app lets you create an interactive 3D home map in which you can designate no-go zones, and schedule specific cleaning times. The app also displays the running record of cleaning times and coverage area which allows you to view the performance of individual rooms and areas. You can also assign different cleaning methods to each area. You can also integrate voice control into your Echo device or smart speaker if you own one.

2. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The Roomba j7+ model from iRobot is an excellent option for those looking for a self-emptying vacuum that also has the ability to mop. This model utilizes iRobot's Imprint Smart Mapping technology to create an outline of your home, ensuring that it can clean your home efficiently possible. Dirt Detect helps the robot focus on areas that are more messy, and Reactive Sensor Technology helps it avoid obstacles.

As with other iRobot models, the j7+ is programmed to begin cleaning while you're away and stop when you return after it's done. It can be controlled using the iRobot App or smart speakers that work with Alexa and Google Assistant. It responds to voice commands better than most competing robots, like the self-emptying Neabot N1 N1.

In addition to allowing you to control the robot using a smartphone or remote and tablet, the iRobot Genius app makes it easy to configure the j7+, create the schedule, and tweak other settings. It can even guide new users through the onboarding process to help the robot learn their home and plan the space it will clean.

The j7+ comes with a larger dustbin than most of the self-emptying robots that we've tested. It can hold more debris, but you'll still need to empty the bin every seven to eight months (or more frequently if you have pet hair or heavy debris). iRobot sells filters and bags for replacement separately.

The j7+ also features a front-facing camera, which is supposed to help the robot stay clear of hazards such as power cords and pet waste. The camera doesn't perform as well in low lighting, though, so you might want to consider a competitor that has a better camera, like the Roborock S7 MaxV.

I was also happy to discover that when docked, the iRobot+ will automatically empty its dust bin into Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal. This is a significant improvement over competitors that require you to open and empty the bag manually. This small change will save you time and frustration.

3. Ecovacs Deebot T10 Omni

The Deebot T10 Omni is a sleek robot that offers impressive cleaning performance. It has a 5000Pa suction, and is equipped with dual-sided brushes and a floating brush to remove dirt from corners and hard floors. It has a strong battery that powers both vacuuming and mopping and has the capability to return to its dock when it's running low on power. Its smart features include a home-map, 3D mapping and automated cleaning schedules.

Similar to other Deebot models, the T10 Omni uses a separate cleaning tank that is used to wash and dry mopping pads in order to prevent cross-contamination. The cleaning tank of the T10 is capable of holding up to 4L of clean water, which will cover approximately 400m2. It features a unique design that allows it to be refilled and drained without touching the pad or getting wet.


The T10's smart mapping technology is one feature that makes it stand out from other robot vacuums. It creates a precise, three-dimensional map showing the arrangement of your home. This enables the robot to detect obstacles more accurately and adjust its navigation, improving the overall effectiveness of cleaning.

The ECOVACS app is simple to use, and has various settings that can be customized. The only issue is the lack of a remote control. This might be frustrating for some.

The T10 OMNI is great at cleaning pet hair. It was able remove most of the hair from my carpets after two cleaning cycles, and it was able to maneuver around furniture that was blocking its route.

Although it's not as hands-free as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the T10 Omni is still an excellent option for those seeking a self-emptying robotic vacuum and mop. Its mops are just as powerful as its vacuums, and it has a much more attractive design than the Roomba. Although it lacks a remote control, the T10's intelligent capabilities compensate for this absence. You can quickly start or stop a cleaning cycle, schedule it, and change device settings with the app.

4. Shark ION the XL

The ION XL, Shark's most advanced self-emptying robotic vacuum, is a great choice for those who want to get their home clean without having to lift a finger. It also provides exceptional performance. The vacuum comes with large bins that can store a month's worth of dirt, and the base can be programmed to automatically empty it at the end of each cleaning session for longer-term storage. The ION XL is one of the top robot vacuums on the market, suitable for hard and carpet flooring, and it can also sweep and mop your floor. You can control the robot using an app or voice commands. You can also make an outline of your home whenever you want. The robot can also do an excellent job of maneuvering around furniture and can even traverse stairs and rooms that are fully carpeted effortlessly.

I tried the ION XL using our standard test for debris in a family space and kitchen with hardwood floors and area rug. It was excellent at vacuuming, clearing pet hair and debris from the floors, and even picked up some of the more stubborn dust particles on carpets. It also did a great job maneuvering and didn't get in the way of my barstools like the iRobot J7+ in this test. The only downside to the ION XL is that it can't detect shoes, cords, or toys in its path. You will need to clean your home before you run this robotic vacuum if you want it to avoid them.

The ION XL robot cleaner isn't as sophisticated as the iRobot j7+, but it's an excellent alternative if you don't want to spend over $500 on a robot. It is better than the eufy RoboVac 11S in most ways and is easier to maintain and incurring lower recurring costs. It is also better in vacuuming floors that are not clean and removing pet fur, but not as effective on carpets with a low or carpets with higher pile.

It's not as well-built however it's an excellent option. The ION XL is a powerful machine with a large capacity bin. It can be controlled by an app or voice command and is easy to maintain. It also has an affordable price.
