They say that cleanliness is next to godliness and if that’s true you want the absolute best robot vacuum and mop that will make you feel like Zeus on top of a sparkling clean Mount Olympus. Me too. That’s why I recently tested the ILIFE V5s Robotic Vacuum Cleaner with Water Tank Mop. Read on to see if it is one of the best robot vacuums on the market.
This robotic mop/vacuum is said to do a good job on hardwood floors, has a low price, and is both a vacuum and a mop with a water tank. You have to love that 2-in-1 functionality. But does it live up to the hype? Read my vacuum guide below to find out.
Does This Mop And Vacuum Robot Suck? Or Is It A Clean Purchase?

ILIFE V5s Robotic Vacuum Cleaner
The ILIFE V5s Robotic Vacuum works well if you have various hard floor surfaces and want them to be as clean as possible. It is primarily a mop and so it has an interchangeable 0.3-liter water container that is actually larger than most of the competition and easy to clean.
Pros:
- Mops hardwood floors beautifully
- Great value
- Also a top-rated vacuum
Cons:
- Sometimes can’t find charging base
- Cheaper than a Roomba
ILIFE V5s Robotic Vacuum Build Quality And Design
As far as robot vacuum cleaners go, this one seems pretty durable. Your pets won’t be able to break it and it should hold up well enough to give you years of cleaning. The design stands out as it has a gold-like face on the top and isn’t all black or all white. If looks are important to you, this model is a winner already.
Cleaning Power
The ILIFE V5s has a charging time of 250-300 minutes, which gives you a cleaning time of 90-110 minutes. In my tests, I cleaned the kitchen, mudroom, dining and living room, which is about 1000 sq feet in one charge. I would guess this cleaning robot could handle at least 1200.
When you want to vacuum just replace the tank with the dirt bin, then attach the side bristles/cleaning brush. Even though it is mostly for hardwood floors, it is a good carpet cleaner that can vacuum low-pile carpets with fairly strong suction. The wet cleaning mode works using a mop mat holder that holds a mop pad that is continually soaked by the water tank. This gives you a damp mop.

Performance
I have a few different floor types of hardwood in my house and they all look beautiful thanks to this little robot vacuum and mop. The mopping function on the v5 pro works flawlessly as does the vacuum function. It has a more powerful suction than I expected, sucking up pet fur, debris, dust, and dirt easily and efficiently. If you like cleaning with a quiet, super-thin, and self-charging robotic vacuum cleaner, read our Anker Eufy Robovac review.
On two occasions out of three weeks of use, it could not find its charging base, so most of the time it works perfectly. Aside from that, the mop cleaning pad sometimes gets stuck on some surfaces, and you also can’t charge it with the water tank inside. So it requires some maintenance.
Bottom Line
The ilife v5s pro has both auto charging and manual charging, while modes include everything from the spot and edge cleaning to auto and scheduled cleaning, It does an excellent job on hardwoods and I highly recommend it for that. As I said, it does require some maintenance, but it is still a top-rated vacuum and mop in our appliance reviews section. Plus, you can’t beat the price. I actually love how it gets the floors clean and it is a great value for your money.
If you’re looking at vacuum cleaner reviews for a robot vacuum with other features, the Roomba s9, iRobot Braava 380t, Chuwi iLife, or any other home gadget, you can always consult a vacuum buying guide from Gadget Review. That is also true for other household appliance reviews.
