What's the Best Robot Vacuum and Mop to Buy in Australia in 2026?
How to choose the best robot vacuum and mop in Australia in 2026: the features that matter for Australian homes, how Dyson's Spot+Scrub Ai and Samsung's Bespoke Jet Bot Combo compare, what The Good Guys stocks, when prices usually drop, and opening ShopBack before you check out.
Short answer. In Australia in 2026, the best robot vacuum and mop for most homes is one with LiDAR navigation, a mop that stays off your carpet, and a dock that empties the bin and washes the mop, at a price that fits your floor space. Dyson's Spot+Scrub Ai and Samsung's Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI both have self-cleaning docks, and The Good Guys listed around 30 robot vacuum and mop models at the time of writing. The other discount on the same order is Cashback through ShopBack: it works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in, the current Cashback is shown on the The Good Guys page on ShopBack before you pay, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: apply your best code or card offer, then check out through ShopBack before you pay.
ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop online at thousands of stores, including The Good Guys, Dyson and Samsung. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

What's the best robot vacuum and mop to buy in Australia?
The best robot vacuum and mop is the one that matches your floors, your pets and how much upkeep you will put up with. A routine that works for most households:
- Measure your floors. Mostly tiles, timber or vinyl favours a strong mop. Lots of carpet favours suction and a mop that lifts or detaches.
- Pick the dock you want. A self-emptying dock means you empty the bin less often. A dock that also washes, heats or dries the mop saves the messiest job.
- Check navigation. LiDAR models map rooms and remember no-go zones, which helps in multi-room homes.
- Think about pets and clutter. Obstacle and pet recognition help avoid cords, socks and accidents.
- Compare the same model across stores. Brand stores and retailers sometimes sell different bundles, so compare like for like.
- Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Steps 1 to 5 find the right robot at the lowest price. Step 6 lowers what you actually end up paying for it.
Best robot vacuum and mop in Australia in 2026: three ways to buy
Here are three strong options, each suited to a different shopper.
Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai: for homes with lots of hard floor and stains
According to Dyson's product information on The Good Guys, the Spot+Scrub Ai Wet & Dry Robot Vacuum:
- uses a hygienic wet roller that cleans itself on every rotation;
- detects spills and stains with an HD camera and AI, and checks and re-cleans a stain up to 15 times;
- scans the room 7 times per second with DToF LiDAR;
- has a dock that heats water to 60 degrees to help lift stubborn stains from hard floors;
- boosts suction by 35% when it detects carpet, with an 18,000Pa motor and a 3 litre bagless dock;
- is rated by Dyson for up to 100 days maintenance free, based on Dyson's internal testing.
The Good Guys lists a 2 year manufacturer's warranty on this model.
Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI: for an all-in-one Clean Station
According to Samsung Australia, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI vacuums and mops, recognises objects including pets, identifies stained spots, and senses carpet depth. Its Clean Station Steam+ washes, sanitises and dries the mop pads, empties the dust bag, refills the water tank and recharges the robot. Samsung also sells the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo (vacuum and mop) and the Jet Bot AI+ and Jet Bot+ (vacuum only).
Samsung says the Digital Inverter Motor in its robot and stick vacuums is backed by a 10 year limited parts warranty, with conditions, and it advertises 60-day free returns on its vacuum cleaners under its Money Back Guarantee terms.
The Good Guys range: for comparing many brands in one place
At the time of writing, The Good Guys' robot vacuum range included models from Ecovacs, Roborock, Dreame, iRobot, Narwal, eufy, MOVA and Dyson, with around 30 listed as robot vacuum and mop and 43 tagged as pet friendly. Two examples from its product pages:
- Ecovacs DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI: 18,000Pa suction, dToF LiDAR, and an OMNI station that empties the dustbin, washes the mop and refills water, with up to 291 minutes of cleaning per charge and a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.
- iRobot Roomba Plus 505 Combo + AutoWash Dock: 7,000Pa suction, a dock that washes and heat-dries the mop pads, POOP Detect for pet homes, and a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
Best robot vacuum and mop Australia 2026: the features that matter
Five features decide whether a robot vacuum and mop suits your home.
- Navigation. LiDAR models build a map, clean in neat lines and let you set no-go zones in the app. Camera and AI systems add obstacle and stain recognition.
- Mop type. Rollers (like Dyson's) keep wiping with fresh water; spinning pads (like Samsung's) press down for scrubbing. Both are washed in the dock on self-cleaning models.
- Carpet handling. A mop that lifts, detaches or is avoided on carpet keeps rugs dry. Check how each model handles your rugs before you buy.
- The dock. Self-emptying, mop washing, hot water and drying all cut upkeep. Bagged docks need replacement bags; bagless docks need emptying.
- Running costs. Budget for dust bags, mop pads, filters and cleaning solution over the robot's life.
Robot vacuum and mop best deals in Australia in 2026: where the savings usually come from
The best robot vacuum and mop deals in Australia in 2026 usually come from timing, choosing last year's model, and opening ShopBack before you check out.
- Big sale windows. Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026, and Boxing Day sales start on 26 December. End of financial year sales run before 30 June.
- Previous models. When a brand launches a new robot, the outgoing model often drops in price and may still have most of the features you need.
- Bundles. Check what is in the box. A spare mop pad set or bags can be worth more than a small price gap.
- Watch the exact model. Track the price of one model number for two or three weeks before a sale so you know whether a deal is real.
- ShopBack. ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay.
