Independent rankings
Robot vacuums that genuinely wash a hard floor rather than pushing a damp cloth around it. Only machines whose dock washes the mop are listed.
The difference between a mop and a damp rag is pressure and clean water. A pad dragged behind the machine spreads the dirt it picked up in the first room across the rest of the house; a spinning or roller mop that the dock rinses does not. Only machines whose docks wash the mop are listed, because one that does not is a mop you still have to clean by hand.

Lift the mop, leave it at the dock or steer round the rug: what each robot vacuum we list does at a carpet edge, and what the makers' millimetres measure.
Roborock against Dreame, every robot vacuum of both scored by the same engine: who wins which ranking, where the two differ and which to buy.
The four ways a robot vacuum mops, what each does on carpet and at the skirting, which machines use which, and how our mopping subscore treats them.
