The best robot vacuum for hardwood floors among Amazon’s top sellers is the Roborock Qrevo S Pro, which beat the average in stain tests by about 40 points with only slightly above-average water use, according to Vacuum Wars, a YouTube channel that buys and lab-tests robot vacuums.
On hardwood, mopping quality and leftover water matter as much as suction. The eufy E25 is the pick for homes with pets, with a self-rinsing roller mop, while the slim Roomba Plus 415X Combo suits light daily mopping.
The Qrevo S Pro listed at $549.99 on Amazon on Oct 16, 2026.

Hardwood Floor Tips
- Use the lowest water setting that gets the job done, since leftover water can streak and isn’t great for wood
- Check your flooring maker’s guidance on wet cleaning
- Cleaning along the floorboard direction reduces visible streaks; Vacuum Wars says the Qrevo S Pro app supports this and the E25 lacks it
- Use only the cleaning solution the robot’s maker approves
My Planned Test
Planned test: I plan to mop the same dried coffee and juice spots on sealed hardwood with each pick and photograph any streaks. I will add my results and my Home Smart video here when they are done. Until then, nothing on this page is a hands-on claim from me.
What YouTube Reviewers Found About Mopping
These findings are paraphrased from the video transcripts and credited to each creator. They are the creators’ own test results and opinions, not mine.
- Vacuum Wars bought a Qrevo S Pro and called the mop its best feature: it beat the average in their stain tests by about 40 points, and the 10 mm mop lift lets it clean mixed floors in one run.
- Vacuum Wars praised the dock upgrade: mop pads are washed with 167°F (75°C) water and dried with 113°F (45°C) air, and navigation and battery efficiency were both above their average.
- On the downside, Vacuum Wars measured below-average suction and airflow in bench tests and noted the roller mop does not extend to reach walls.
- He also reported that the 415X got tangled in a cable and needed several passes on muddy paw prints. His verdict: fine for a small, uncluttered apartment if you want the Roomba ecosystem, but he would skip it at full price.

Do I need a robot that mops for hardwood?
