TOP 8 best robot vacuum cleaners with wet cleaning function

I have compiled my expert rating of the best wet cleaning robots in 2020. The TOP-8 includes models that are really the best in their price segment. I have personally been using a robot vacuum cleaner for the past two years and I understand this niche. But at the same time, I studied demand, customer reviews and compared dry specifications.

Almost all robots of the premium segment are equipped with the function of wet cleaning. They can be divided into three types: universal polishing robots, classic robots with a separate unit or combined unit for wet cleaning. Floorpads are the best at cleaning, but they don't vacuum carpets. Which one is better? This rating will be about this. We read, choose, leave comments.

The best premium segments

Hobot Legee 688

The versatile robot floor polisher Hobot Legee 688 takes the first place in our rating, thanks to the four-stage Fast Brush cleaning technology, which has no analogues among other manufacturers. Also Legee 688 took first places in the nominations:

1. best robot vacuum cleaner 2020.
2. best floor polisher robot 2020.
3. best robot vacuum cleaner with map building.

It is the only polishing robot in the ranking, which ranks first among all polishing robots in 2020. What is it good for? It's all about the cleaning system. If you turn the robot over, you can see 2 platforms on which napkins are attached. The platforms move at a speed of up to 10 vibrations per second, thereby imitating the movement of the hands during cleaning. Let's take a closer look at the cleaning process:

1. The first stage, the debris, thanks to the side brush, falls into the suction port. Power of 2100 PA allows you to easily suck in dust and fine debris.
2. The first wipe dry wipes the floor.
3. After the first wipe, a system of two nozzles wets the floor with liquid
4. The last napkin provides full wet cleaning.

I will add some dry characteristics, where can I do without them. The robot floor polisher is 9.5 cm high, made in the shape of the letter D and has a caterpillar track. A set of laser sensors, a gyroscope and an electronic compass are responsible for the accuracy of movement. Essentially the same lidar, but the lasers are on the sides and in the bumper. They identify obstacles, elevation differences, provide the necessary information to draw up a map of the room and select the optimal path of movement. The vacuum cleaner is controlled from a remote control or from a smartphone. Installing the app opens 7 more "Talent Clean" operating modes: standard, economical, kitchen (with abundant wetting and rubbing), powerful, pet (at high power and with cleaning of traces), polishing, dry, custom. A powerful motor and a capacious battery (2750 mAh) guarantee operation up to 90 minutes on an area of ​​150 sq. m. A 360 ml tank is enough to clean the declared area.

Benefits:

• Stylish design.
• Combined cleaning.
• Picks up dry waste well.
• Perfectly wipes the floor, removing all stains.
• Capacious battery.
• Laser sensors, electronic compass, gyroscope, steering angle sensors.
• Building a cleaning map and programming on a schedule.
• Long battery life.
• A large number of modes.

Disadvantages:

• Poorly overcomes obstacles above 0.5 cm.
• Doesn't remember a map, builds a new one for each cleaning.
• You cannot set different modes for different zones.
• There is no virtual wall.

What's the bottom line? Hobot Legee 688 costs 35,000 rubles and takes a prize-winning place among polishing robots. It is ideal for cleaning smooth surfaces, perfectly removes dust and performs a wet wipe, removing even stubborn and greasy stains in the kitchen. You need to understand that if you need to clean carpets, then you need either a second robot for dry cleaning - this is the ideal option, or a universal robot vacuum cleaner with a separate module for wet cleaning. Hobot Legee 688 does not clean carpets.

Okami u100

Okami u100 laser ranks second in the ranking of wet vacuum cleaning robots thanks to its Y-shaped floor wiping system. He also won the following nominations:

• rating of the best robotic vacuum cleaners - took 3rd place.
• ranking of the best with lidar - 2nd place.
• rating with building a room map - took 3rd place.
• rating of the best for wool cleaning - 4th place.

In wet wiping mode, the robot moves along a path in the shape of the letter Y. It repeats the movements of a hand mop. It turns out that the robot passes through the same place at least twice. The module for wet cleaning is additionally equipped with a container for collecting dust and debris, therefore, when carrying out wet cleaning, the robot also removes debris that could be missed during dry cleaning. The capacity of the liquid tank is 360 milliliters, it is quite enough for one cleaning.

Let's go over other important characteristics of the Okami U100. The lidar and a set of other sensors are responsible for navigation, which scan the room and build a map. The powerful Japanese engine of 2500 PA can be noted, the best indicator on the market. The 3200 mAh battery lasts for 2 hours of cleaning. There is a turbo carpet brush and two brushes on the sides. A proprietary application and control from a smartphone are also available.

Additionally, the kit includes an ultraviolet lamp, which can be fixed on the bottom to disinfect the surface to be cleaned.

Benefits:

• Lidar based navigation.
• Building a map room
• High quality dry due to the powerful engine.
• Wet cleaning on a branded trajectory.
• Application control.
• The ability to use a UV lamp.
• Low noise level 50 dB.
• Service support in the Russian Federation.

Disadvantages:

• Does not save the cleaning card after sleep.
• The volume of the sound notification is not adjustable.

What's the bottom line? Okami U100 costs 40,000 rubles. For this cost, we get top-end equipment, cartography, and great power. The U100 performs better wet cleaning than the Xiaomi Roborock S6 due to its well thought out trajectory. But it loses a little to him in the software part. I hope the manufacturer will fix minor flaws when updating the software. It's worth remembering about service support, Okami provides a 1-year warranty, which is extremely important for many customers.

Xiaomi Roborock S6

Roborock S6 / T6 gets third place in our roundup of the best models. Because, despite the excellent technical equipment, wiping with a damp cloth is vibration-free. Won in the nominations:

• best chinese robot vacuum cleaner 2020.
• best robot with lidar of 2020.
• rating of the best with building a room map - 2nd place.

Unlike the Hobot 688, Xiaomi is equipped with not only a side, but a removable central brush with nylon bristles. Has a smaller water container (160 ml) and only one wash cloth on the bottom. The kit includes 10 pieces. Navigation is provided by a laser LDS sensor and two electronic compasses with sensors. The robot remembers the built early map and corrects it if necessary during the next cleaning. You can control the work from your smartphone after installing the Mijia APP. In it, you can control the cleaning process, set a power-on schedule, assign areas for cleaning and draw virtual walls. The vacuum cleaner operates in 5 modes: quiet, balanced, maximum, turbo and mopping. It has a more capacious battery (5200 mAh), the charge of which is enough for 2.5 hours to clean 250 sq.m.

Benefits:

• Convenient turbo brush with easy cleaning.
• Bold grade.
• Sophisticated navigation.
• Excellent cleaning quality.
• An application with the ability to set cleaning zones and set virtual walls.
• Saves cleaning maps.
• Powerful battery.
• Good running time.
• Acceptable noise level.

Disadvantages:

• Dear.
• One side brush.
• The rag does not always get wet evenly.

Roborock S6 costs 40,000 rubles. It could well take first place in the ranking due to its good equipment, the ability to build and memorize up to 3 maps, and high-quality navigation. But in terms of wet cleaning, it is inferior to Hobot 688 and Okami U100, and therefore is in third place.

Ecovacs DeeBot OZMO 950

Ecovacs DeeBot OZMO 950 is in last place in this section of the rating, although it is not inferior to competitors in the quality of cleaning. But the price of 50,000 rubles dramatically changes his position. During the sales period, for 42-43 thousand rubles, I would consider it for purchase. For the same reason, he took the last places in the nominations:

• ranking of the best robots in 2020 - 6th place.
• rating of the best with building a room map - 7th place.

Now to the main topic of the rating, let's consider wet cleaning. Here it takes place in four stages: brushes direct debris and dust to the dust collector, a flexible turbo brush tightly contacts the surface for thorough cleaning, the engine sucks in debris, and a wet microfiber wipes the floor. Water is supplied to the napkin in a metered dose In the application, you can increase the flow rate of fluid in areas with heavy contamination. When moving to the carpet, the robot turns off the water supply. Advanced navigation technology Smart Navi 3.0 provides map building and hassle-free movement in space. In the application, you can select areas for cleaning, install virtual walls. The robot saves maps for each floor, which is not often found in competitors. When starting cleaning, it recognizes the area and selects the desired map. Equipped with a more powerful battery (5200 mAh) than Okami U100, providing work for 200 minutes. But with a less powerful engine, up to 1500 PA.

Benefits:

• High quality navigation.
• Capacious battery.
• Good wet and dry cleaning.
• Smartphone control.
• Voice assistants.

Disadvantages:

• High price.

Summarize. The robot is equipped with an excellent lidar-based navigation system and excellent smartphone software, one of the few stores maps for different floors. As I said above, everything would be cool if not for the price. For 40,000 rubles, Xiaomi and Okami do exactly the same. Can I recommend it for purchase? Of course yes! The model is noteworthy.

Best budget

Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S

Xiaomi MiJia Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S ranks first among budget models, since it has good traffic, builds a map of the room, dividing it into zones. Won in the nomination:

• the best robot vacuum cleaner of 2020 in the budget segment.
• best robot vacuum cleaner with aliexpress up to 30 thousand rubles.
• rating of the best robot vacuum cleaners with a camera - took 4th place.

At a price of 20,000 rubles, a full-fledged lidar is installed here: laser sensors scan 360 degrees and draw up a two-dimensional map, which allows it to recognize its location and simulate the correct route. Therefore, even if the robot is moved to another place, it will orient itself and continue to work. If the battery is discharged to 20%, the vacuum cleaner will return to the station, and after recharging it will continue to work from the same place. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a variety of sensors that ensure its functionality: sensors for proximity to the wall, checking the fullness of the dust collector, falling, engine speed, compass, gyroscope, tachometer. Control is carried out via a smartphone, where you can determine the places of cleaning, limit zones, rename rooms, observe the route on the map. Equipped with a capacious battery (5200 mAh), which makes it possible to clean for 2.5 hours on an area of ​​250 sq. M. Adapted to work in the "Smart Home" system.

What's the catch? Well, it's not there, almost none. The main complaints about localization, there is none, you need to look for the firmware yourself and dance with a "tambourine", which is upsetting. And there is no service support. For example, the sensor will fail, you will have to look for a service yourself, and often order components from China, especially in the regions.

Benefits:

• Excellent navigation.
• Drawing up a map.
• Very high quality cleaning.
• Flexible settings.
• Possibility of programming any number of cleanings per day.
• Smartphone control.
• High power.
• Sufficient battery life.

Disadvantages:

• Buyers find the rear location of the outlet inconvenient (the escaping air inflates the not yet cleaned debris).
• The application is not Russified.
• It is not very convenient to clean the center brush.

The bottom line. Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1S worth 20,000 rubles is considered to be the leader among budget models. Robot with a powerful processor, great suction power and excellent software. Complaints about localization and service.

iBoto Smart L920W Aqua

iBoto Smart L920W Aqua is in the second position of the TOP. Also ranked 6th in ranking of the best robotic vacuum cleaners with lidar 2020 ... It differs in a lower height - 8 cm. For wet cleaning, it is necessary to replace the dust collector with a water tank (300 ml).

After creating a map, he divides the room into zones and begins sequential cleaning. You can control it via a smartphone or remote control. It features a less capacious battery (2600 mAh), which is enough for two hours of operation (with wet cleaning - for 200 minutes) or cleaning an area of ​​200 sq. M.

Genio Deluxe 500

On the third place Genio Deluxe 500... Also took good places in the nominations:

• rating of the best robot vacuum cleaners in 2020 - 2nd place in the budget segment.
• rating of the best robots up to 20,000 rubles - 3rd place.

The model has a small height (only 7.5 cm), which increases its permeability. It differs from iLife V55 Pro in the device: there are two replaceable central brushes (rubber and fleece) for cleaning different types of surfaces. Waste and water bins are almost double the size of the iLife V55 Pro. The robot allows you to control not only the buttons on the top panel and the remote control, but also from a smartphone. Equipped with a battery of similar capacity, but designed for cleaning a smaller area (100 sq. M.) And shorter operating time (1.5 hours).

Benefits:

The robot is universal, it collects dust and washes the floor at the same time, for which it is equipped with sufficiently large tanks. It also allows you to program work on days of the week and set modes through the application. Due to its low height, it passes safely under furniture. Endowed with a good set of sensors for high-quality navigation.

iLife V55 Pro

Top 4 closes the model iLife V55 Pro... Dry and wet cleaning for 12,000 rubles is strong, isn't it? And you can buy it on Tmall, you won't have to wait long. The V55 Pro has two functions at the same time: it vacuums and wipes the floor. Therefore, it is equipped with two tanks - 0.3 l for dust and 0.18 l for water. Due to their small volume, you need to clean the dust container more often and do not forget to fill the tank with water. The robot is not equipped with a turbo brush, there is only a suction port on the bottom.Some people consider this a plus, since it is not necessary to clean the brush of coiled hair. But the fact that with carpets without a turbo brush is indisputable. Navigation is provided by sensors that detect obstacles, changes in height, preventing falls and collisions. The robot can overcome thresholds up to 13 mm. The V55 Pro plans the travel path so that it does not go over the sections again and does not allow skips. The control is carried out from the display located on the top panel, or from the remote control. The vacuum cleaner can be programmed to turn on according to a specific schedule for each day of the week. Equipped with a 2600mAh battery. Its charge is enough for cleaning 140 sq.m. The set includes a limiter (virtual wall).

• Power regulation.
• Five modes of operation.
• Combined cleaning.
• Acceptable operating noise.
• Control from the remote control.
• Cleaning planning.

Disadvantages:

• Small waste bin and water tank.
• No smartphone app.

iLife V55 Pro costs from 12,000 rubles during sales, which the manufacturer often arranges. And in the budget segment, this is an excellent choice. I have had experience with the iLife a9s and am satisfied. During the year of work, no problems were found, I recommend!
