What is Mop?
In short
The mop is the wet-cleaning part of a robot vacuum, and the type decides how it treats hard floors.
A mop is the part of a robot vacuum that washes the floor once the machine has swept it, either with spinning pads or with a fixed pad. A spinning mop presses and rotates, which helps lift dried-on marks from hard floors. A model with no mop simply vacuums. AirCraft Home, Bosch, Bosch Hausgeräte and CA.ROBOROCK list a spinning mop, a spinning mop, a spinning mop and a spinning mop. Beko lists none, so that robot vacuums without mopping.
