Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
Robot vacuums and mops have become more efficient, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling different types of floors. Select models that allow you to select between a variety of modes, including self-emptying and clean stairs.
Many of the top models work 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 vacuum and mop combos available on the market. It uses lidar for navigation and creates maps of rooms and floors.
The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which includes linoleum flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms and also a carpet in the middle and a large area. It was capable of driving close to walls and even across raised thresholds without any problems. However, it had some difficulty navigating down the stairs in one step. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving smoothly on its flat side against the floor, and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or rugs.
The docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and fills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water prior to every mopping session. The dock also provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for about 12 cleaning sessions before it needs to be empty, but this will vary depending on how much you use the mop.
The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like other 2-in-1 robots. It is necessary to regularly wash out the dirty tank to avoid it becoming blocked. It is also necessary to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to prevent them from getting blocked by dust or dirt. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
This all-in-one robot mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a great choice for cleaning needs. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8,700Pa suction power and comes with many innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans around furniture and eliminates obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive. Rotating mop pads actually lift floors and scrub it instead of just drag a pad across a surface. The mops are also cleaned and dried in the base station when needed.
This robot combo is easy to install and use, with a clear interface that walks you through the procedure. It includes a hand vacuum that recharges to reach those areas the robot isn't able to reach, as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and refilled whenever needed. It also comes with a variety of settings that can be used to fine tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does well at vacuuming, with strong suction that easily picks up most of the debris, and even smaller pieces of dust that other robots struggle with. Its navigation abilities are also decent, but it could get stuck on small area mats and rugs in my home (which you can mitigate by creating virtual boundaries in the app). The mopping feature is pretty impressive, and comes with a pair of spinning mop heads that actually lift and scrub the floors, as opposed to just dragging the pad over it. The mops can also be cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station whenever required. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as required.
3. Dreame X40 Ultra
Dreame launched the high-end X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new flagship model of robot mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It is a great cleaner and is easy to maintain. This makes it a worthy contender for our list of the top mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush will ensure a thorough, customized clean is completed.
The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming and removing large and fine particles from hard floors as well as carpets. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests with ease by avoiding pet hairs as well as other messes. The sweeping capability of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush which automatically swings out in order to get into areas that are difficult to reach and mop pads that run along baseboards.
Its navigation system is nimble it can navigate through narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without skipping a step. It can go from one room to the next without needing to reverse the direction. This is beneficial for homes with a lot of rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than other models However, it tends to leave a wide distance around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.
The app's interface is intuitive and well-organized. It should be simple to use for both novices and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings. You can also adjust the suction power, mop settings as well as view 2D and 3-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri and allows you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can even remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. But, you'll require a stable Wi-Fi connection to operate it via the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
A robot vacuum does a great job of picking up debris and dirt, but it can't always get every last bit of dust. It's essential to clean your home often, at least once a week. This is especially important for dust that builds up in corners, on shelves and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that both vacuums and mops, is designed to do just that. It is simple to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.
The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's expensive S-series models. It includes the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but saves on cost by eliminating mopping and using a cheaper plastic body.
Despite losing the ability to mop floors, the Q5 still has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen on a robot in this price range. It has a suction power of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system so you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It also comes with a smart application that lets you choose the type of floor and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system to allow hands-free operation.
The mops also stand out with its 2700Pa power that can combat pet hair and dirt on carpets as well as hard floors. The Q5 was among the few robots that we tested did not show a problem with high-pile area carpets and rugs. However, robot vacuum cleaners reviews was able to not handle kitty litter or cable tangles. This isn't surprising as it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robotic vacuum we've ever tested. It also has a unique mapping system that allows it to reach tight corners and corners that other vacuums are unable to. This device also collects more dust in a larger bin, so you don't need to empty it as often. It also has washable filters, which can further cut costs. This robot can detect carpets and increase suction if needed. The app also allows you to mark off areas you want to avoid, which is a nice feature.
