For most homes with hard floors, the eufy E25 is the robot mop to buy. Its roller mop is rinsed as it cleans, and its base washes, dries and refills for you.
Below are the robot mops worth buying. We compare how well they scrub, whether they keep rugs dry, and how much care they need. For more vacuum picks, see our guide to robot vacuums.

eufy E25 Robot Vacuum and Mop
For: hard floors that need real scrubbing, with little upkeep
- MopRoller mop, rinsed as it cleans
- StationEmpties, washes, dries, refills
- Mop lift10.8 mm at carpet
- Wi-Fi2.4 GHz only
The E25 uses a roller mop that's rinsed with clean water as it spins. So it doesn't push dirty water around. It lifts the mop 10.8 mm to protect carpet, and it handles short carpet as well as hard floors.
The station empties the dust, washes the mop, dries it with hot air and refills the water. Your jobs are refilling the clean-water tank, emptying the dirty-water tank and changing the dust bag about every 75 days.
What we like
- Mop rinses itself while cleaning
- Station does most of the upkeep
- Strong suction for carpet too
Watch out for
- Large station
- Needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi

Its dual mop system handles daily spills and paw prints, and lifts 10 mm on carpet. The dock washes the mops with hot water and dries them with warm air. It also empties the robot into a sealed bag that lasts 7–9 weeks.

- MopWashable microfiber pad
- Self-emptyUp to 90 days

It vacuums and mops in one pass with a washable microfiber pad. The pad doesn't lift, so draw no-mop zones in the app to skip your rugs. Re-draw the zones if you move a rug. iRobot rates the self-emptying bag at up to three months.
iRobot filed for bankruptcy in December 2025 and agreed to be bought by its manufacturer, Picea. It said the app and support would continue. Check iRobot's support page for the current status.

- Water tank300 ml
A simple robot that vacuums and mops in one go. You can run it from the app, a remote, your voice or a button. The remote suits anyone who'd rather not use a phone.
It has no self-emptying dock and doesn't map rooms, so empty it and refill the water by hand. The mop doesn't lift: take the pad off before it cleans rugs.
What we like
- Usually among the lowest-priced picks; check the current price
- Remote control included
- Long runtime in quiet mode
Watch out for
- No mop lift
- No mapping
How they mop
- Drag mops pull a damp pad behind the robot. They pick up dust and light marks but do little for dried spills.
- Scrubbing pads move back and forth many times a second and handle sticky spots better.
- Spinning pads press down and rotate. They scrub well and work best with a base that washes them.
- Roller mops are a spinning cylinder, rinsed with clean water as it goes. They don’t spread dirty water around.
A mop-only robot needs the floor vacuumed first. A vacuum-mop combo does both in one pass.
Keeping rugs dry
A combo robot needs a way to protect rugs and carpet. The best lift the mop pad off the floor when they reach a rug. Others rely on you marking rugs as no-mop areas in the app. Without either, you have to remove the pad before cleaning carpeted rooms.
Suction, mapping and Wi-Fi
Suction is listed in Pa (pascals): higher pulls more from carpet, but brands measure differently. Lidar is a spinning laser that maps your rooms, so you can send the robot room by room. Many robots connect only to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, the longer-range band most home routers broadcast. If setup fails, check that band is on.
Bases that wash and dry
The newest bases refill the water tank, wash the mop pads and dry them with warm air. That stops pads from smelling and saves you rinsing them by hand. These bases are large, though. You still fill the clean-water tank and empty the dirty one every few runs. Simpler robots need the pad washed by hand after each mop.
How we rate
We score every pick out of 10 on four things, weighted for how a gadget earns its place in daily life: how well it does its core job (40%), meaning a watch's tracking and battery life, a camera's video and alerts, a vacuum's suction and navigation, measured against the maker's specifications rather than the marketing; reliability and support (25%), including app quality, firmware updates, ecosystem compatibility (Apple, Android, Alexa, Google Home, Matter) and what owners report after months of use; ease of setup and everyday use (20%); and value, counting any subscription (15%). For gear with no app, like dumbbells or bands, build quality and safety take the place of app and update support.
We have not tested these products ourselves. We read the manufacturer's specifications, compatibility lists and support pages and look for the patterns in verified owners' reviews, both the praise and the recurring complaints. No brand pays for placement, and a commission cannot buy a higher rating. When a pick changes, we will say so on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Can a robot mop handle dried-on spills?
Light ones, yes, especially models with scrubbing, spinning or roller mops. Thick or sticky spills still need a hand mop or a spot clean.
How often should I replace the mop pads?
Washable pads last a few months with regular use. Replace them when they fray, stop absorbing water or smell even after washing. Check the maker’s guidance for your model.
Why is my robot mop leaving streaks?
Usually because the pad is dirty. Wash or swap the pad more often, and let the base or you dry it fully between runs.
