It’s a Mop! It’s a Vacuum! It’s Robotic! This Automatic Cleaning Combo Will Leave Your Floors Sparkling—And It’s $250 Off

Recently, my beloved vacuum took a tragic tumble and broke. As a lover of all things clean, this falls in the category of my worst nightmare. Reeling in the immediate aftermath, I told myself I'd lug it onto the train, out of the city, and into some suburban fix-it shop (seriously, why is it so hard to find a vacuum repair service?!)—but deep down, I knew that was never going to happen. So after weeks of procrastination, I admitted defeat and started the search for a new one.

Naturally, I headed straight to Walmart.com, the mecca of wallet-friendly *and* high-quality cleaning essentials, where I spotted the ONSON Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop. I was immediately drawn to the idea of a robotic gadget built with vacuuming and mopping powers—and when I saw it was a whopping $257 off (and had nearly 7,000 five-star reviews online), intrigue turned into full-on purchase mode.

I'll admit: I've always been skeptical that robo-vacs can do a better job at cleaning than I can (not to brag), but at a price tag of just $103, I figured it was worth the gamble. Plus, in the time since my tried-and-true vacuum bit the dust, my apartment floors had become, shall I say, accessorized with dog fur, dust, crumbs, and hair. So when my new robo-vac from Walmart arrived (in record delivery time, I should add), I tore open the box like a kid on her birthday and got to work.

My ONSON Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo Cleaner Review

Setup? A breeze. A few attachments on the bottom, a couple of batteries in the remote (you can also start it from an app or your Alexa device), and a quick charge, and I was in business. Once fully juiced up, I filled the water tank, dampened the mop attachment, and let my new mechanical housemate loose.

At first, I hovered over the vacuum-mop like an anxious parent, sure it'd get stuck on furniture or miss crucial corners. To my pleasant surprise (proud mom alert), the little guy got the lay of the land after just a few bumpy laps—and with anti-drop sensors, two suction levels, and humidity controls, it really made sure no spot was left behind. In about 45 minutes, my apartment went from disaster zone to immaculate. I swear, my floors have never been this clean.

With every square inch accounted for, the ONSON casually rolled itself back to its docking station to charge before its next round. Minimal effort from me, maximum results. My only complaint? It was a little loud, especially when I was trying to watch TV—but I later learned (by actually reading the manual) that it has a quiet mode, as well as spot-cleaning, manual-cleaning, and edge-cleaning options.

The verdict: The ONSON Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo Cleaner delivers major convenience with major cost savings, and now I can't imagine my humble abode without it. If you’ve ever wanted a hands-free way to keep your floors spotless, this guy earns his keep.
