The top robotic mops include smart home integration and voice activation to make them even easier to use. They can be programmed to clean at a certain time, and the majority of them come with a docking station that automatically returns them for charging when they're finished.

However, robot mops that are programmed to run when you're away can still get into trouble. Like a robot vacuum, that can run wild, even small things like shoelaces, pet toys and phone chargers can stop it from running. You'll still need to vacuum-proof your home and perform periodic checks of the robot's dust bins to catch any odd item they may miss.

SpinWave Robotic Vacuuming and Mopping Machine can remove any kind of stain and mess including cereal spills and dog vomit from carpets with low pile.

The majority of the models CHOICE tested can last for as long as three hours before returning to their charging docks, however, if you'd like to have your cleaning machine to be working while you're away, it's worth taking a look at a hybrid mop with a long battery life. If you're concerned about furniture being scratched or damaged by a robot cleaner, consider investing in a model with virtual walls that stop it from hitting furniture or other objects in your home.

Robotic mops are made of disposable or disposable pads that you'll need to replace frequently. If you opt for a model with pads that can be reused, it's a good idea to wash them regularly (as according to the manufacturer's instructions) and allow them to dry between uses.
