This vacuum-only robot is unusually slim, and its compact self-empty station holds a large three-liter bag.

Best forCompact auto-emptying, low furniture

The dock for this roller-mop robot includes a detachable deep cleaner that handles upholstery and spot cleaning.

Its retractable navigation tower lets the vibrating mop reach beneath low furniture. Before vacuuming carpet, it can park its main mop at the dock.

Best forA vibrating mop under low furniture

A folding arm can move supported small objects out of the way so the robot can clean under them, and the body stays very low.

Best forShifting supported small objects ahead of cleaning

Compared with basic drag-pad robots, this is a useful step up, thanks to a wash-and-dry dock, an extending mop and a split brush. The color on this listing is white.

Best forAutomated mop care, no flagship chassis

If your doorways don't call for a climbing chassis, the split main brush and extending cleaning hardware suit daily floor care.

Best forCleaning edges where room transitions are ordinary

The budget goes into vacuuming, through two rollers and an auto-empty dock. With no wet mop, you have nothing to manage around carpet.

Best forCarpet vacuuming with no water system

Vacuuming falls to dual rollers, and a simple wet pad wipes hard floors lightly. The dock empties dust but not dirty mop water.

Best forMostly vacuuming, with light wiping now and then

Low furniture access comes from a retractable tower, which sits alongside rotating mops and an adaptive chassis. Heated mop care happens at the rounded station.

Best forLow sofas and hands-off rotating-mop care

Everyday mopping is covered by an extending mop and a heated washing dock, with none of the mechanical features found on newer flagship models.

Best forSonic mopping backed by dual rollers

Homes that mix hard floors with rugs suit its extending side cleaning and removable mop pads. The original specification differs substantially from L40 Ultra Gen 2.

Best forDropping wet pads before it cleans carpet

Taller door tracks are handled by retractable climbing legs, and dual brushes with detachable mops cover mixed flooring. The navigation tower does not retract.

Best forTall thresholds, no retractable tower required

Even next to newer climbing models, it earns a place in mixed-floor homes with removable mops, extending side cleaning and dirt detection.

Best forAutomatic mop removal on mixed floors

The body stands just under 3.83 inches tall, and an extending mop and wash-and-dry dock take care of routine hard-floor cleaning.

Best forFloor care on autopilot beneath furniture with a four-inch gap

Edges are covered by an extending side brush and mop, and the body is shorter than the original L40's. What the newer generation gives up is automatic mop removal.

Best forCleaning edges under moderately low furniture

You get two ways to deal with hair, a rubber brush and an included TriCut alternative. Its extending mop follows wall edges, and there is no climbing mechanism.

Best forShedding pets and long hair, with a choice of brush

If regular kitchen-floor care is your priority, this older model is worth a look for its heated pad washing and extending mop.

Best forHeated mop washing minus the flagship extras

Spinning mops fit beneath furniture thanks to the low body, and automatic washing plus visible water tanks keep daily maintenance simple.

Best forMopping under lower beds and cabinets

The HydroJet roller washes itself throughout a cleaning run. It is the E28 floor-cleaning platform with the detachable spot cleaner left off.

Best forRoller mopping if you have a spot cleaner already

This low roller-mop robot recognizes hazards well with its camera assistance. With eufy having discontinued the S1 series, it is now an older-stock choice.

Best forA roller mop when robot height has to be low

The station cuts wrapped hair off the roller while it empties the robot, which makes this a focused vacuuming option for homes without a need for a mop. It is discontinued and sold from remaining inventory.

Best forLess manual brush cleaning

The vacuum core lifts out of the robot and turns into a handheld or stick cleaner, so one system can also reach stairs and furniture. This discontinued model is sold from remaining inventory.

Best forFloors, and hand cleaning above floor level

Dual cameras steer the robot around clutter, and an extending triangular mop gets to wall edges. The familiar Freo Z cleaning routine gains reach as a result.

Best forEdge mopping in a cluttered home

The robot keeps debris compressed inside itself and does not empty into a large dock. The small charging base takes up little station space.

Best forSkipping a large dust-emptying station

Messy hard floors are the target of its self-washing roller, and a lifting cleaning system manages the changeover between vacuuming and mopping.

Best forRoller mopping in a busy home with mixed floors

Thanks to embedded navigation, this spinning-mop robot has an 81 mm body. Consider it when low furniture rules out a taller roller model.

Best forMops that reach under low beds and sofas

An extending-pad robot with a heated wash station gets targeted cleaning from camera-assisted recognition and automatic re-mopping.

Best forAutomatic re-mopping of visible kitchen stains

Mixed floors suit its automatic mop removal and extending edge cleaning, and a lower station can be easier to place than a taller tower dock.

Best forA lower wash station and removable mops

You can empty the collected dirt from the transparent bagless station without buying dock bags. A simple lifting pad is there for light wiping after vacuuming.

Best forAuto dust transfer with no disposable dock bags

Rotating pads, a climbing chassis and a fully automated wash station come with a 79.8 mm robot.
