Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
Robot vacuums and mop are getting more powerful. They pass our tests on cleaning and can take care of different floors. Find models that allow you to select from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to self-empty, and clean up stairs.
A lot of the top models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that allows you to save maps, create schedules, and choose 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 on the market. It uses lidar for navigation making maps of rooms and floors.
The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which has linoleum in the dining area, kitchen and bathrooms and a large rugs and a medium-pile. It was able to drive close to walls without hitting them, and even managed to drive across thresholds for rooms that are raised without problem, although it sometimes struggled to get down stairs in a single pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving smoothly on the flat side against the floor and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or carpet.
The docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and fills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water before every mopping session. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however this will vary dependent on how often you use the mop.
Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. For this, you'll need to rinse out the dirty water tank regularly to avoid it from clogging. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheels and sensors regularly to prevent them from becoming clogged with dust or dirt. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
Ecovacs' all-in-one robot vacuum and mop is an efficient solution for your cleaning requirements. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8,700Pa suction power and comes with a number innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans around furniture and avoids obstacles. The mopping feature is impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor instead of simply moving the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned and dried at the base station, as needed.
This robot combination is simple to install and use, with a clear interface that guides you through the procedure. It includes a rechargeable hand vacuum for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot isn't able to reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and filled whenever required. It also has a range of useful settings for fine-tuning your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a good vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that can easily remove dust and debris that other robots have difficulty with. Its navigation abilities are also pretty good, although it could get stuck on small area mats and rugs around my home (which you can alleviate by defining virtual boundaries in the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good, with a pair spinning mops which can lift and scrub the floor instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station when required. Mops are also refilled from the top of the base station when required.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. But their latest flagship model is packed with impressive features. It boasts fantastic cleaning results and hands-off maintenance which makes it a strong contender for our top mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a long side brush guarantee a thorough, customised clean.
The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, removing fine and large debris from hard floors as well as carpets. It also cleaned our test's most filthy areas well, and eliminating pet hairs that are tangled and other dirt. The sweeping capability of the machine is enhanced by a sidebrush that automatically swings out in order to get into areas that are difficult to reach and a mop pad that extends across baseboards.
Its navigation is smart it can navigate through tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without stepping back. It can move from one room to the next without having to change direction. This is useful for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than that of some competitors and leaves a large space around obstacles. This could lead to miss-hit spots.
The app is streamlined user interface that is designed to be easy for both novice and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings. You can also adjust suction power, mop settings and view 2D and 3-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, allowing you to monitor its progress from any location. You can even use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely, for live video surveillance. You'll need a stable WiFi connection to use the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
A robot vacuum does a great job of picking up dirt and debris but it's not always able to get every last bit of dust. This is why it's crucial to make use of your regular vacuum once every week, particularly to remove dust from corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop designed to accomplish exactly that. It's easy to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and it works with Alexa or Apple Siri.
The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive S-series models from the company, including the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It is equipped with the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on cost by removing mopping and using a cheaper plastic body.
budget robot vacuum is still one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping robots we've ever seen in this price range, even though it's not equipped to wipe your floor. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It also has a clever app that lets you select the type of floor and schedule cleanings, and an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system to allow hands-free operation.
Its mops are also impressive, with a 2700Pa power that can take on pet hair and dirt on carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't have any problems with carpets with high piles or area rugs, but it couldn't clean up cat litter or cable tangles and cable tangles, which isn't a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also features an innovative mapping system that allows it to reach tight corners and corners that other vacuums are unable to. The device also collects dust in a bigger dustbin that means you have to empty it less often. It also has washable filters which reduces the cost. The robot is able to detect carpets and increase suction when needed. The app also allows you to mark areas that you want it to stay clear of and is a great feature.
