These robot vacuums are mopping the floor with the competition.
Australia’s best robot vacuum mops in 2025

- Most advanced robot mopping system: Eufy S1 Pro
All robot vacuum mops can vacuum, but not all robot vacuums can mop, and even fewer can mop well. We’ve been reviewing and testing robot vacuum cleaners, and their attached mops for five years and it is safe to say that mopping has seen a massive improvement.
Mops used to be basic microfibre pads that would continuously drag along the floor, but now we have roller mops, extendable mop arms, self-emptying and mop cleaning at the base station, and even robovacs capable of disinfecting your floor. Two years ago you would be hard pressed to find a robot mopping recommendation from us, but in 2025 they dominate our top picks.
If you’re in the market for a robot vacuum that specialises in handling wet messes, you’ve come to the right place, but if you’re after an all rounder you should read our picks for the best robot vacuums available in Australia.

How we test robot vacuum mops
Wet mopping
There are plenty of spills to test on, but one of our key tests pits the robovac against wet spills. We assess the clearance efficacy of the mop against a range of wet spills like water, milk, and tomato sauce on multiple floor types. The more the mop is able to clear in a regular cycle, the better the score.
Sticky mopping
Similarly to wet spills, we also test the robot mop against sticky substances such as honey and maple syrup.
Mop cleaning
Dirty mops won’t clean floors so we take a close look at how well robot vacuum mops can be cleaned, and the ease of doing so. Efficient, hands-off cleaning yields a higher score, so devices with fully automated base stations tend to fare better.
Overall performance
Apart from the mopping aspects, we look at other aspects of the robovac such as particle performance, app usefulness and accuracy, mapping, and device reliability.

Narwal Freo Z Ultra: An aquatic unicorn
Reasons to buy
- Mopping water is electrolysed and becomes a disinfectant
- 95%+ clearance rate on sticky and wet debris
- Automated water flow for more efficient mopping
Reasons to avoid
- Water usage is higher than others
- Expensive
Narwal's aquatic theme isn't just a fun naming protocol, the water-logged moniker also boasts some of the most advanced robotic mopping available in Australia.
We've tested a few, but the Freo Z Ultra is the most sophisticated mopping powerhouse of the bunch. Not only did it clear wet debris like honey, yogurt, and tomato sauce from hardwood floors, but it steralised the area while it did so. Rather than using a cleaning solution, the Z Ultra electrolyses the water in its tank. This process takes your basic tap water, adds sodium chloride, and zaps it to allow the water to act as a disinfectant. Considering that many robot vacuum mops can't handle cleaning solution due to corrosion concerns, this is a huge tick in Narwal's favour.
It also tracks the humidity levels, and switched up the water usage based on how long it predicts the floor will take to dry, plus does all its own mop water emptying, filling, and mop head cleaning back at the base station.
The rest of it's robot vacuum performance is solid too, if the price doesn't put you off then the Freo Z Ultra is the best mopping robot out there today.
Reasons to buy
- Dual spinning mop heads can get up dried on wet messes from most floor types
- Extendable mop arm works a treat on edges and corners
- Best in class mapping and navigation
Reasons to avoid
- Likes to snack on cables
- Too expensive at full price
Roborock's devices regularly make our round-ups, and mopping is no exception. The Qrevo Master is the more advanced of the Qrevo line available in Australia, kitted out with dual spinning mops, an extendable mop arm, and a fully self cleaning mop system at the base station.
In our testing the Master mopped up around 95% of sticky and wet debris on Auto Mode, and got closer to a 99% clearance rate with a higher mop saturation. It even managed to pull off tomato sauce that had been on the lino for a few hours. Either way we had to give the floor a quick once over with an electric mop for anything super sticky like honey, but the overall performance is impressive.
One of the rotating mop heads also extends out to get a closer clean in corners and along wall edges so you'll get a more sprawling clean with less effort. Even when it is extended out the mop uses the same downwards pressure so there are no compromises on performance.
Mopping aside for a second, the vacuuming and navigation skills of the Qrevo Master are top notch. Our only complaint is its obstacle avoidance can't quite handle cables, so you'll need to toss them to the side.
Best robot vacuum mop deal
Roborock Qrevo S: Almost a flagship for half the price
Reasons to buy
- Manages most sticky and wet messes in a single pass
- Self cleaning mops at the base station
- Same dual mopping heads as the Qrevo Master
Reasons to avoid
- No edge mopping technology
- Single roller makes vacuuming less reliable than other models
There aren't any cheap robot vacuum mops we would actually recommend, but the Roborock Qrevo S is the best balance between price and performance.
Overall the Qrevo S has similar mopping performance to its more advanced counterpart, the Qrevo Master. The only tangible difference is its lack of edge-cleaning technology. In our testing the device was able to mop up all our wet and sticky debris in a single pass, at high saturation. At around half the price of the Qrevo Master, the S is in fact S-tier.
Vacuuming performance is a bit less reliable than other Roborock devices as the Qrevo S doesn't have the brand's Zero Tangle Roller solutions. In my testing household this means pet fur tends to take up too much space on the roller which makes it harder to grab at small debris. If you're a pet-free household this won't be an issue, but for those of us with furry companions you'll want to untangle the roller regularly.

Eufy S1 Pro: Monumental mopping with a bang
"The rotating, roller mop cleans itself as it goes meaning a dirty mop head never touches your floor. This ends up cutting back on cleaning time substantially when compared to robovacs that need to go back to the base station mid-clean to clean up the mop head."

Reasons to buy
- Roller mop uses 1kg of downward pressure
- Perpetually self cleaning mop throughout
Reasons to avoid
- Can get up to 82dB loud
- Could work better on sticky residue
Eufy's S1 Pro utilises a self-cleaning roller mop similar to what you see in a steam mop. Every time it rotates, the dirty floor water is scraped off and sucked back into machine, while the roller is doused with fresh water, resulting in better, more hygienic mopping. Roller mops are the future as far as we're concerned. It's just smart technology.
With new (and fun) tech there will always be bugs to work out however. We found this mopping system did a stellar job on most debris, but once again struggled with sticky stuff. Even with its self cleaning, the roller spread the maple syrup across the floor in a thin film rather than picking it up. Still the tech behind the S1 Pro is interesting, and performs well considering how new this style of robot vacuum mopping is.
The device is also a great vacuum, and has brilliant object detection and avoidance, although it is among the loudest of robovacs we've tested. During operation it hits around 62dB and can get up to 82dB during self-cleaning at the dock.
Robot vacuum cleaners compared
Australia has a bunch of robot vacuum cleaners available on the market, starting as low as $300 if you can get a good deal. We have reviewed and rated more than 20 units over the past few years. Here are how the most recent robovacs compare.
