For homes with rugs and hard floors: robots that vacuum and mop, have a dock that washes the mop, and whose makers state the mop lifts, is covered or detaches on carpet. Ordered by how the mop is kept off carpet (detach first, then cover, then lift, highest stated lift first), then by the maker's store price, lowest first. Specs checked October 19, 2026; prices checked October 19–27, 2026 (changed prices re-read October 27) on each manufacturer's US site.

Lift, cover or detach: what the difference means
A robot that mops has to keep its wet mop off rugs. Makers solve this in three ways, which suit different rugs:
- Detach: the robot leaves the mop pads in the dock or drops them before it vacuums carpet, so nothing wet touches the rug. Roborock (Qrevo 2 Pro) and Dreame (X50 Ultra, on long-pile carpet) state this.
- Lift and cover: a roller mop lifts and a cover or shield drops between the roller and the carpet. ECOVACS (X12S) and iRobot (Max 875) state this.
- Lift: the mop rises a few millimetres. Narwal states 12 mm for the Freo Z10 Turbo and Dreame states 0.41 in (10.5 mm) for the D30 Ultra.
For low rugs, any of the three keeps the mop off the pile. For thick or shaggy rugs, makers themselves point to detaching or covering: Dreame says the X50 Ultra detaches its mops "For long-pile bedroom carpets".
How to pick between these
If you have thick or shaggy rugs → look at the robots that detach or cover the mop: the Qrevo 2 Pro, X50 Ultra, X12S OmniCyclone and Max 875 Combo. On the Qrevo 2 Pro the detach feature must be switched on in the Roborock app.
If your rugs are low and you want to spend less → the Narwal Freo Z10 Turbo and Dreame D30 Ultra lift their mops and have docks that wash them, at under $600 on their makers' stores.
If there's clutter on the floor too → the four robots with object recognition are the Qrevo 2 Pro, X50 Ultra, X12S and Max 875. Narwal and Dreame don't state object recognition for the Freo Z10 Turbo and D30 Ultra.
