Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly efficient, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling various floor types. Look for models that allow you to select between several modes, utilize their charging docks to self-empty and clean stairs.
Many of the top models are compatible with smartphones. Look for an app that allows you to save schedules, maps and select cleaning modes.
1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate and create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels) and integrates with the free Eufy Clean app that lets you set schedules and customize the S1's behavior.
The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which comprises flooring in the dining area, kitchen, and bathrooms and a large rugs and a medium-pile. It was able to drive close to walls without crashing into them and even managed to cross raised room thresholds with no problem, although it sometimes had trouble navigating down stairs in a single pass. The S1 also did a great job cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving smoothly on the flat side against the floor, and then lifting itself when it was near carpet or carpet.
The docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank on board with clean, ozonated water before each mopping session. The dock also provides a deep-cleaning solution for the water. The S1 water tank can be able to accommodate 12 mopping sessions, however it will differ depending on the frequency you use the mop.
The S1 requires periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. For this, you'll need to clean the dirty water tank regularly to avoid it from clogging. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, particularly compared to other combos that require more care.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
This all-in-one robot mop and vacuum combo from Ecovacs is a great choice for cleaning needs. Its robot vacuum has 8,700Pa suction power and comes with a variety of unique features, including voice control and smart path planning that cleans around furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of just dragging a pad across the surface. The mops can be cleaned and dried at the base station when needed.
This robot combo is easy to install and use, and has a clear interface that guides you through the process. It comes with 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 replenished when needed. It comes with a range of useful settings that allow you to fine tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that can easily remove dirt and other debris that other robots have difficulty with. Its navigation capabilities are good, too, even though it can sometimes get caught in the small area mats or rugs that I have in my house (which is something you can reduce by defining a virtual boundary within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good, with a pair spinning mop pads that can lift and scrub the floor instead of simply moving the pad across it. The mops are cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station as required. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as needed.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame launched the high-end X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop has even more impressive features. It delivers outstanding cleaning results and is simple to maintain. This makes it a contender for our list of the best robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush will give you a thorough, customised clean.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It is a great choice on hard floors and carpets. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests efficiently, avoiding pet hairs and other dirt. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by an additional side brush that automatically swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.
Its navigation is intelligent, navigating narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without skipping a step. It can move from one room to another without having to reverse direction. This is useful for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is not as advanced than some competitors However, it tends to leave a wide margin 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 cleaning tasks. You can also adjust suction power, mop settings as well as view 2D and 3-D maps. You can control it through the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely, for real-time video monitoring. You'll require a reliable WiFi connection to run the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 Pro
Robot vacuums are fantastic at picking up dirt and debris, but they aren't able to reach every bit of dust. That's why it's important to use your regular vacuum once a week, especially to remove dust from corners, on shelves, and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums as well as mop, is made to accomplish this. It's simple to connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and integrates 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 a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves 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 robotic 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 by hand each time. It comes with a smart application which allows you to schedule cleaning times and determine the floor type. It also comes with an automatic water tank filling and washing system that is hands-free.
Its mops are also awe-inspiring, with 2700Pa of power to take on dirt, dust and pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 was one of the few robots that we tested that did not have problems with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it did not pick up kitty-litter or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising because it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we've tested. It also utilizes a unique system to map your home this really helps it get into corners and tight spaces that other vacuums are unable to reach. This device also collects more dust in a larger bin, so you don't have to empty it as often. It also has washable filters which can further cut costs. More methods is also able to detect carpets and increase suction if required. The app allows you to mark areas that you want it to avoid, which is a nice feature.
