Across the world, robot vacuum cleaners capable of wet cleaning are becoming increasingly popular, and rightly so. A good quality washing robot vacuum cleaner significantly enhances cleaning quality and helps keep your home cleaner than standard robot vacuum cleaners could.

What to look for from a mopping robotic vacuum cleaner?

The times when all the mopping robot vacuum cleaners could do was just to drag a wet mop behind them are over. In recent years the mopping ability of robotic vacuums has truly transformed. Let`s be honest, in the past the mopping function of a robot vacuum was pretty much useless. This is surely not the case now so let`s take a look what should you be looking for from a top notch mopping vacuum cleaner.

Rotating mops

When it comes to the best mopping robot vacuum cleaner then having mops that do not only drag behind the robot but rotate, is a must. Rotation just makes the cleaning so much more efficient. Instead of a one time drag the rotation function makes the mopping movement several times in the same spot. This of course guarantees better results.

Pressure mops

If the mop motors can apply extra pressure to the floor the better it is. It is quite obvious that the more pressure you apply to a stain, the better chance you have of getting rid of it.

Self cleaning and drying mops

Everyone who has used a mopping robot vacuum before surely knows how dull of a task it is to clean, change and dry the mops every time your robot finishes cleaning or even sometimes doing so between the mopping process. It is a freaking headache.

This is where the the cleaning station comes into play. The best mopping robotic vacuums must have a cleaning station, where they could self clean and dry the mops. The most advanced ones can even take brakes between washing the floor to go and clean their mops and to make them wet again.

Ability to rise the mops

This is an important one. When you have carpets in your home you do not want wet mops on it. The best mopping robot vacuums have built in sensors that sense when the robot drives on to the carpet. When most of them will then avoid the carpet altogether the most advanced ones will keep on vacuuming on the carpet but with having their wet mops risen from the surface.

Changing the level of mop moisture

The ability to change the wetness of the mops in crucial when a robot has to deal with different flooring types. For example a wooden floor would need more moisture on the mops as the mops tend to dry quicker on that kind of surface. On stone on the other hand you would want the mops not to be so wet as it does not “suck” the water out of the mops that fast.

Switching between cleaning modes

Usually when you want to switch your robot from mopping to vacuuming only you would have to remove the mops. This is the case with every mopping robot vacuum that we know of today but one. Obviously it is annoying removing the mops on and off all the time. It is better and more efficient to have the mops on the robot all the time but risen up when not in mopping mode.

The setting of a crosswise cleaning

If you look closely enough you spot that a mopping robot vacuum has a gap between the two rolling brushes. This means there is a small strip of the floor that will be unwashed.

Sounds stupid doesn’t it?

Well luckily the best mopping robot vacuum cleaners have a hack. The secret is in the crosswise setting mode. The crosswise setting mode is something that makes the robot first clean the room from one side to the other and then switch its direction and do the same thing over again crosswise. Basically it makes the robot to do a thorough cleaning and makes it to cover the area twice.

This ensures inch of the floor gets cleaned as it should.

Height of the robot

The last but not the least thing we are going to look at here is the height of the robot. The height of the robot vacuum is always important. Wet cleaning or dry cleaning this defines how well can the robotic vacuum get under different kind of furniture.

The most of the high-end robots uses lidars and cameras to navigate. Lidars are usually hidden underneath a small tower on top of the cover. This unfortunately makes the best robots higher than the least expensive ones. The cheaper robots are usually about 7.5 cm high while the lidar with a towers ones are 9.6.

However there has been a newer development recently where the lidar is hidden inside the robot and that giver the machine a 1 cm advantage when compared to the others. Rest assured we will reveal the name of this robot that is only 8.6 cm high in the last paragraph.

The best vacuum and mopping robot

So yes. Now we get to the point. You now want to find out which mopping robot vacuum can do all of these things and is actually the best one in the market.

First of all I would like to clarify that the term best robot vacuum is a quite superficial one. It is really hard to completely say that one robot is so much superior than the other.

But what we can say is that Robotec R7 Max robotic vacuum is surely out there with the best of them.

And for sure it can do all these things mentioned in this blog post.

So if you want to find a trustworthy vacuum and mopping robot that has excellent build quality, sleek design and provides great results then you check and buy the Robotec R7 Max from here.
