The 10 Best Robot Vacuums Without Mop

About the mop function

The mop function has become a popular feature for robot vacuum cleaners because it allows the robot to both sweep and wash the floor. Today, 50% of all robot vacuum cleaners come with a mop function. However, there are also good reasons to choose a robot vacuum cleaner without a mop.

Why choose a robot vacuum cleaner without a mop function?

Not everybody wants a robot vacuum cleaner that also mops. Here are the main reasons why people prefer to buy a robot vacuum without a mop function:

• Less expensive: Robot vacuum cleaners with a mop function are typically more expensive than regular models.
• Lighter and smaller: Robot vacuum cleaners with a mop function are often bigger and heavier because they need more space for the water tank and the mop head.
• Less maintenance: A robot vacuum cleaner with a mop requires more maintenance because you have to regularly fill up the water tank and clean the mop. However, most robot vacuum cleaners with a mop function can also function separately if you don’t want to install the mop head and the water tank.
• Fewer recurring costs: If you buy a robot vacuum cleaner with a mop function, you will have to buy a new mop cloth every 6 months.
