#1The best robot vacuum with an all-in-one station in 2026
122 models with a station that empties the bin, washes and dries the mops and refills the water. Ranked by our consensus of 5 test sources, with today's lowest price.
#1An all-in-one station takes over the tedious part: after every run it empties the bin, washes the mop pads or roller with water, often hot, and dries them with warm air so they do not smell. Most stations also refill the robot's water tank and some dose detergent. In practice you do not touch the robot for weeks: every few weeks you fill the clean-water tank, empty the dirty one and replace a dust bag now and then.
There is a trade-off. The station is big, often sixteen to twenty inches high and wide, and the price is higher than a robot with a self-emptying station only. When comparing, look at the mop-washing temperature, whether the robot lifts or detaches its mops on carpet, how high thresholds may be and whether the station is bagless. The order below comes from the tests of 5 independent sources. The price is today's lowest including shipping.

The price is the median of today's lowest price per model, shipping included. How long a dust bag lasts is what the makers state themselves: new bags are the running cost of a station.
Score: consensus of the positions in 5 test sources, 100 = top of every source. Every model on this list is recommended by at least one test source. The bottom of a top list is still worth half the points, and a model named by only one source cannot score above 50. Only models sold in the United States count. Method.
