15 Reasons You Shouldn't Ignore Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are getting more powerful. They pass our cleaning tests, and can handle a variety of floors. Look for models that allow you to choose from multiple modes, use their charging dock to self-empty, and clean up stairs.

A lot of the top models integrate with your smartphone. Look for an application that lets you save maps, create schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive robot vacuums and mop combinations available. It makes use of lidar to navigate, creating maps of floors and rooms.

When I tested the S1, it was quick to map our downstairs, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, along with carpeting with a medium-pile and an area rug. It was able to drive close to walls and even across raised thresholds without any problems. However it had some issues getting down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving smoothly on the flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it reached carpet or rug.

Before each mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank onboard with clean filtered ozonated water. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water for deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however this will differ based on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. You'll need to periodically rinse out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to prevent them from becoming clogged with dirt or dust. But, overall the S1 is easy to maintain, especially compared to other models that require more care.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robot vacuum and mop is an effective solution for cleaning. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8700Pa of suction power and comes with a number innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it, rather than simply dragging a pad across the surface. The mops can be dried and cleaned at the base station if needed.

The robot is simple to setup and use, with a clear interface that walks you through the process. It includes a hand vacuum that recharges for those areas that the robot can't reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically empty and replenished when required. It comes with a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does a good job at vacuuming, and has a powerful suction that easily picks up most debris and even the smaller bits of dust that other robots struggle with.  autonomous vacuum  are good, too, even though it can sometimes get caught up on the tiny carpets or area mats that I have in my house (which is something you can reduce by defining a virtual boundary in the application). Its mopping is quite impressive, and comes with two spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub the floors, instead of simply dragging the pad over it. The mops can be cleaned with heated water, and dried in the basestation as needed. Mops can also be filled at the top of the station as they are required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year however their latest top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It delivers outstanding cleaning results, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a contender for our list of the best robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush will ensure a thorough, customized clean is completed.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, getting rid of both large and fine debris. It works equally well on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned the dirtiest areas well, keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other messes. The sweeping performance of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush that automatically swings out in order to reach areas that are difficult to reach, and mop pads that extend across baseboards.

Its navigation is intelligent that can navigate small spaces and negotiating stairways without stepping back. It can move from one area to another without changing direction which is a great feature for larger homes with several rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is not as advanced than some competitors and leaves a large margin around obstacles. This can lead to missing spots.

The app's interface is intuitive and easy to use. It should be simple to use for both novices and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings, alter suction power and mopping settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and much more. It can be operated through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri and allows you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You will need a stable WiFi connection to use the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A  robot vacuum  does an excellent job of removing debris and dirt, but it can't always reach every last piece of dust. It's essential to clean your home regularly, once a week. This is especially important for dust that accumulates in 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 works with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful addition to your routine of cleaning.

The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's expensive S-series models, which include the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra.  robotic hoovers  is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on price by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a less expensive plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've ever seen at this price even though it's not able to clean your floor. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an automatic emptying system, so you don't have to manually empty the bin every time. It comes with a smart application which allows you to schedule cleaning times and determine the floor type. It also has an automatic water tank filling and washing 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 as well as hard flooring. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have problems with carpets with high piles or area rug, but it was unable to pick up cat litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we have tested, it also utilizes a unique system to map your home this will allow it to enter corners and tight spaces that other vacuums are unable to reach. This device also is able to collect more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as often. It also has washable filters which reduces the cost. The robot is also able to detect carpets and boost the suction when needed. You can also mark areas you would like to be able to keep from using the app.
