Which robot vacuum should I get？

Please could people advise which I should get. Would ideally like one that vacuums AND mops as we have wooden floors. Also have one big rug in the living room, so it would ideally be able to do that as well. Never had one before. We want something reasonably top end that will last for several years but is also easy to use. Many thanks.

This thread is a little old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if
you've landed here looking for robot vacuum cleaners recommendations, we've recently updated our best robot vacuum cleaners reviews page with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users. We hope you find it
useful. Flowers

I have a Eufy G10 which does hoovering and mopping. It does a decent job inbetween the weekly cleaner but I have to say it really doesn't like chairs. I'd only recommend a vacuum if you have limited furniture on the floor.

There are no decent vacuums that do hard floor hoovering + mopping + carpet hoovering. It's either ard floor hoovering + mopping or just hoovering hard floor + carpet.

I have a roborock s5 max and whilst it's not perfect, it's pretty good. One thing I would say is make sure you get one with the mapping feature, I used to have a cheaper one that just bounced around aimlessly but ones that map your home and work methodically are so much better.

Second vote for Roborock S5. I can’t recall what you get in addition for S6 or above but the S5 has mapping so you can set rooms for mopping + vacuuming or vacuuming only (which it does first). It’s by no means a complete mop but if it stays on top of the floors between proper mops (Bissell Crosswave or indeed old fashioned bucket & mop!)

Don't get the Dyson. They've replaced mine twice and I've also had it repaired twice, in about three years. It's good at vacuuming but honestly for that money you'd expect it to be.
