What is the best robot mop?

Shopping for a robot mop? Keep in mind that they aren’t exactly like robot vacuums, though a lot of them have vacuum capabilities on board. For one thing, you’ll want to check out the model’s water management system, which is how the mop dispenses and controls water flow. Consider tank capacity, because larger tanks mean fewer refills for bigger spaces. Some mops will can automatically refresh water from a built-in reservoir. 

Also look for customizable cleaning via smartphone app. Schedule cleanings, set no-go zones and adjust water usage for different floor types. Voice control lets you hand over the scheduling to your favorite voice assistant. Because, if you don’t want to mop or vacuum, you probably don’t want to get up and mess with your phone every time you clean.

Cleaning pads matter too. Disposable pads are convenient, while washable pads are eco-friendly and more affordable long-term. Some robot mops will change out their own pads and keep things sanitary, while others will require you to change your own.
