Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more capable. They pass our tests on cleaning and can handle various flooring. Choose models that permit you to choose between multiple modes, including self-emptying and clean stairs.
Many of the top models work with smartphones. Check 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 vacuum and mop combos available on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate making maps of floors and rooms.
When I tested the S1, it was quick to map the downstairs area, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, along with carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls without crashing into them, and even managed to drive across thresholds for rooms that are raised without problem, but it sometimes was unable to navigate down the stairs in one pass. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and raised itself when it reached carpets or rugs.
After every mopping session, the docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for around twelve cleaning sessions before it needs to be cleaned, although this can vary based on how much 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. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from getting clogged by dust or dirt. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other combinations that require more hands-on maintenance.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
Ecovacs all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is an effective solution to your cleaning needs. Its robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction power and comes with many innovative features including voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are remarkable, with mops rotating that actually lift and scrub the floor, as opposed to just moving the pad across it. The mops can be dried and cleaned at the base station, if needed.
The robot comes with an easy interface that guides you throughout the process. It includes a rechargeable hand vacuum for those areas that the robot isn't able to reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and refilled when required. It also comes with a variety of settings that can be used to fine tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a good vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction that is able to easily remove dirt and other debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty robust, however it does sometimes get hung up on the tiny area mats or rugs that I have in my house (which is something you can mitigate by creating a virtual border in the application). Mopping capabilities are very good with a pair of spinning mops which are able to lift and scrub floors instead of simply drag the pad across it. robot hoover can be cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station whenever required. Mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as required.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year however their latest top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a contender for our top list of robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and a larger side brush will ensure a thorough, customized clean is accomplished.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It is a great choice on hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest areas of our tests with ease, avoiding pet hairs and other mess. The sweeping performance of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush that swings out in order to get into areas that are difficult to reach and a mop pad that extends across baseboards.
Its navigation is nimble, navigating tight spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a beat. It can move from one area to another without having to reverse direction which is a great feature for larger homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than some competitors however, and tends to leave a large space over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.
The interface of the app is simple and streamlined. It should be easy to use by both novice and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings. You can also alter suction power, mop setting and look up 3-D and 2-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. However, you will require a stable internet connection to use it via the app as well as external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 Pro
Robot vacuums are great in removing dirt and debris but they can't reach all dust. That's why it's important to use your regular vacuum at least once every week, particularly to remove dust from corners, on shelves and in the corners of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed to do exactly that. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more convenient addition to your cleaning routine.
The Q5 is an edgier version of the company's more expensive S-series models, which include the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's cheaper since it does not have mopping capabilities and has a plastic body.
The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've seen at this price, even though it's not equipped to clean your floor. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an auto-empty system, which means you don't need to manually empty the bin every time. It also has a clever application that lets you choose the type of floor and schedule cleanings, and an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system that allows hands-free operation.
The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dirt, dust, and pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 was among the few robots that we tested that did not have a problem with high-pile area carpets and rugs. However, it could not remove kitty-poop or cable tangles. This isn't surprising, since it does NOT have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we have tested, it also has a unique method to map your home, which will allow it to enter corners and tight spaces that other vacuums can't reach. The K10 Plus also collects more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as frequently. Additionally, it has washable filters, which reduces the costs associated with using the device. The robot is also able to detect carpets and increase suction if needed. The app also allows you to mark off areas you want to avoid this is a useful feature.
