Dreame’s mop lifting system on the X50 Ultra is highly capable, allowing the robot to vacuum high pile carpet without wetting it, leave its mop at the dock for carpet only jobs, and use room ordering so carpets can be cleaned before any mopping.
Its mop pads automatically lift higher than on the older Q Revo, letting it vacuum and mop mixed hard floors and carpets in one pass without soaking rugs.
The L40’s mop pads automatically lift about 10.5 mm on carpets and can be detached with magnets, letting it vacuum rugs and mop hard floors in a single run without soaking carpets.
The mop-lifting system automatically raises the twin mop pads when carpet is detected, letting the robot vacuum and mop mixed hard-floor and carpet areas in one run without soaking rugs.
Its top-mounted Auto-Retract Mop Arm fully stows the pad on top when it senses carpet, keeping rugs dry and allowing true vacuum-and-mop runs; in tight spaces the arm/pad can catch on rug corners or under doors if it lacks clearance to retract.
The signature retractable mop arm is consistently described as fully lifting the pad onto the top of the robot on carpet/rugs, effectively eliminating wet-carpet risk and enabling one-run vacuum-then-mop behavior. Multiple reviews call it a standout engineering solution versus lift-a-few-mm systems, and note it deploys automatically on hard floors with reliable retraction.
Mop pads lift about 10 millimeters on carpet and pause spinning to protect rugs while vacuuming, enabling efficient combined vacuum and mop runs in mixed floor homes.
Owners highlight that the Freo X Ultra’s mop pads lift around 12 millimeters, higher than average, so it can cross from hard floors onto carpets without soaking them while vacuuming and mopping both surfaces in a single combined run.
Its mop-lifting system raises the pads when carpet is detected and can even leave the pads at the dock in vacuum-only mode, helping to keep rugs dry while still allowing the robot to cross smoothly between hard floors and soft surfaces.
With an extra-tall mop lift of around 20 mm, the S8 MaxV Ultra is one of the safest choices for homes with thick carpets, keeping rugs dry as it transitions between hard floors and soft surfaces.
The P50 Pro Ultra uses a dual mop pad system that lifts on carpets and can also be left docked entirely for vacuum-only runs, giving owners extra flexibility to keep rugs dry.
The mop system can lift roughly 10.5mm on carpet and supports a mode where pads stay at the dock so the robot vacuums rugs first, then returns to mop hard floors. Some reviewers note the lift clearance can still be tight on thicker rugs and prefer vacuum-first then mop cycles to prevent pad contact on carpet transitions.
The mop-lift system reliably raises the pad on carpets so it can vacuum and mop in a single run, though it may occasionally leave carpet edges slightly damp when transitioning between hard floors and rugs.
Reviews describe the Z70’s mop lifting system as effective, with pads that can raise about 22 mm and even be left at the dock to keep carpets from getting wet during vacuum only runs.
The S10 Ultra’s mop lifting system is effective at keeping thicker carpets from getting wet during vacuum runs, making it easier to handle mixed flooring when combined with room sequencing in the app.
Its MopMaster system usually lifts the pads on carpets by about 12mm—well above average—to keep them dry while delivering solid mopping on hard floors, though testing shows the pads can still brush and slightly dampen some rug edges when relying purely on auto-sensing.
The Q Revo Pro lifts its spinning mop pads about 10 mm when it detects carpets, usually keeping rugs from getting wet, though the limited lift means thicker or higher-pile rugs can still brush against the damp pads.
Mop can lift over carpets to reduce wetting during vacuuming, enabling mixed-floor cleaning; lift height is modest, so very thick rugs may still require avoidance settings.
The roller mop lifts roughly 10.5mm for carpet crossings, which is usually fine for low/medium pile but may be insufficient for thick carpets, and rare misreads can still dampen thin rugs.
Reviewers highlight that the N30 Omni can raise its mop pads to cross carpets and rugs safely in mixed floor plans, enabling single-pass cleaning of hard floors and carpets without soaking soft surfaces.
The AV2800ZE lifts its mop pad on carpets to keep rugs from getting wet, though its timing and carpet detection can occasionally be inconsistent, sometimes grazing or avoiding certain rugs instead of crossing them cleanly.
The S1 Pro automatically lifts its roller when it senses carpet and usually keeps small rugs dry, but thicker carpets still benefit from no-mop zones and some users report brief contact at edges or occasional mapping glitches.
Its mop lifting system raises the pads enough to help on low thresholds and protect carpets, but real-world use shows the robot often stays well away from rug edges, leaving a visible un-mopped strip around some carpets and thick floor transitions.
With only about 7 mm of mop lift, the L10s Ultra struggles to keep high-pile carpets completely dry and ranks near the bottom of flagship robots for mop lifting performance.
The mop does not lift, so true one-pass vacuum-and-mop over mixed carpet/hard-floor layouts is limited. Most guidance is to detach the mop pad/module for carpet vacuuming or rely on no-mop zones and carpet avoidance during mopping.
A recurring complaint is the absence of mop lift, meaning the mop can contact carpets/rugs unless removed manually. Some report only light dampness that dries quickly, but it is still a limitation for mixed-floor homes.
