A few of these robotic vacuums even have a mopping perform, however I’ve all the time discovered them to be a bit simplistic. They principally simply have a water tank that it’s good to fill manually, and it’ll then wipe down the floor as you go. The extra superior LiDAR fashions can typically have no-mop zones set permitting to scrub a combination of carpets and laborious flooring.
