Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly adept, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling different types of floors. Look for models that allow you to select from multiple modes, use their charging docks to automatically empty and clean up stairs.
A lot of the top models integrate with your smartphone. Look for an app that lets you save maps, schedules and select cleaning modes.
1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
Eufy's gunmetal-and-gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available on the market. It uses lidar to navigate and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set up schedules and modify the S1's behaviour.
The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which has flooring in the kitchen, dining area, and bathrooms and also a carpet in the middle and a large area. It easily drove close to walls without hitting them, and was able to traverse raised room thresholds with no problem, although it sometimes had trouble navigating down the stairs in one step. The S1 also did a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop effortlessly on its flat side against the floor, and then lifting itself when it was near carpet or carpet.
The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and replenishes its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water before each mopping session. The dock provides an extra-deep cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about twelve cleaning sessions before it needs to be empty, but this will vary depending the amount you use the mop.
Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to ensure that it's operating well. You'll need to periodically rinse out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming clogged. You will also need to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to prevent them from getting clogged up with dirt or dust. However, overall the S1 is easy to maintain, especially compared to other models that require more care.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
This all-in-one robot mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a reliable option for cleaning needs. The Ecovacs robot vacuum has 8,700Pa of suction, and comes with a number of innovative features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning that avoids obstacles and cleans furniture. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mop pads actually lift floors and scrub it, rather than just dragging a pad across the surface. The mops are also cleaned and dried at the base station, as needed.
This robot combo is easy to set up and use, with a simple interface that walks you through the process. It also comes with a hand-vacuum which can be used to clean those hard-to reach areas that the robot is unable to reach. There are two water tanks that are automatically emptied or refilled. It also comes with a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction which can effortlessly remove dirt and other debris that other robots have trouble with. Its navigation capabilities are robust, however it does sometimes get hung up on the tiny carpets or area mats that I have in my house (which is something you can control by creating a virtual border within the app). Mopping capabilities are quite good, with a pair spinning mop pads that lift and scrub the floor, rather than just dragging the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned using heated water and dried in the basestation as required. Continue are also refilled from the top of the base station as needed.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was launched earlier this year. However, their latest flagship model comes with even more impressive features. It has outstanding cleaning performance and hands-off maintenance which makes it a strong contender on our top mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure a thorough, customized clean is completed.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, getting rid of both large and fine debris. It is a great choice on carpets and hard floors. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests with ease by avoiding pet hairs as well as other messes. The sweeping performance of the machine is enhanced by a sidebrush that automatically extends to reach areas that are difficult to reach, and a mop pad that extends along baseboards.
Its navigation system is intelligent that can navigate tight spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a beat. It is able to move from one room to another without having to change direction. This is beneficial for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is less advanced than some competitors and leaves a wide margin around obstacles. This can lead to missing spots.
The app is streamlined, intuitive interface that should be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings, change mopping and suction power settings as well as view 3D and 2D maps, and much more. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You'll require a stable WiFi connection to run the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
Robot vacuums are excellent at removing dirt and debris but they can't reach every speck of dust. It is important to clean often, at least once a week. This is especially important for dust that collects in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed to do exactly that. It is simple to connect to your home WiFI network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.
The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's expensive S-series models. It includes the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on price by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a less expensive plastic body.
Although it's no longer able to mop floors, the Q5 still has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot in this price range. It has a suction power of 5500Pa and an automatic-empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin manually each time. It also has a clever app that lets you select your floor's type and schedule cleanings. It also has an automatic water tank refill and wash system to allow hands-free operation.
Its mops are also impressive with its 2700Pa power to take on pet hair and dirt on carpets and hard flooring. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any trouble with high-pile carpets and area rugs, but it couldn't remove kitty litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robot vacuum we've ever tested. It also features an innovative mapping system that allows it to reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums are unable to. This device also collects dust in a bigger dustbin which means you have empty it less frequently. It also has washable filters, which reduces the cost. The robot can recognize carpets, and boost suction if necessary. The app also lets you to mark areas you want to stay clear of this is a useful feature.
