Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly efficient, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling various floor types. Choose models that permit you to choose between multiple modes, self-empty and clean stairs.

Many of the top models are compatible with your smartphone. Find an app that allows you to save maps, 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 combinations on the market. It uses lidar for navigation, creating maps of floors and rooms.

The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which comprises linoleum in the kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms, as well as large rugs and a medium-pile. It was capable of driving up to walls and even cross raised thresholds without any problems. However it had some issues getting down the stairs in one step. The S1 performed well in cleaning hard floors. Its mop drove smoothly on its flat side and swung up when it came to carpets or carpets.

The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and fills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water prior to each mopping session. The dock provides an extra-deep cleaning solution to the water. The S1 water tank can be able to accommodate 12 cleaning sessions, but it will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to wash out the dirty tank to avoid it becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheels and sensors regularly to prevent them from getting clogged by dust or dirt. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

This all-in-1 robot vacuum reviews mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a great choice for cleaning requirements. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa of 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, with rotating mops that actually lift and scrub the floor, as opposed to just dragging the pad across it. Mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station when needed.

This robot combo is easy to set up and use, with a simple interface that guides you through the process. It also comes with a hand-vacuum which can be used to clean those hard-to reach areas that the robot is unable to reach. There are also two water tanks that are automatically emptied or filled. It also comes with a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does a good robot vacuum job at vacuuming, and has a powerful suction that easily picks up all kinds of debris, including the smaller bits of dust that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are decent, but it can be stuck on small area mats and rugs around my home (which you can alleviate by creating virtual boundaries within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good with a pair of spinning mop heads that lift and scrub the floor, rather than just dragging the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as required. Mops can also be refilled at the top of the station if they are required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop has even more impressive features. It offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-off maintenance, making it a clear contender on our top mop and vacuum robots. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush will ensure an efficient, custom-designed clean is achieved.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It works equally well on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our test's most filthy areas well, and eliminating pet hairs that are tangled and other messes. The sweeping performance is augmented by an additional side brush that automatically moves out to tackle difficult-to-reach corners, as well as an extended mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is smart, navigating narrow spaces and climbing stairs without missing a beat. It can move from one room to another without having to reverse direction which is a great feature for homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is less advanced than some competitors and leaves a large margin between obstacles. This could lead to missing spots.

The interface of the app is easy to use and well-organized. It should be easy to use for novice and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings, change suction power and mopping settings and view 3D and 2D maps, and more. You can control it via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even tap into the X40 Ultra's camera remotely, for real-time video monitoring. But, you'll require a reliable Wi-Fi connection to operate it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum can do a fantastic job of picking up dirt and debris but it's not always able to reach every last piece of dust. This is why it's crucial to use your regular vacuum once every week, particularly to remove dust from corners, on shelves and in the corners of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums and mop, is designed to accomplish this. It is easy to connect to your home WiFI network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's more expensive S-series models. It includes the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on cost by removing mopping and using a lower-cost plastic body.

The Q5 is still one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've seen in this price range even though it's not able to clean your floor. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an auto-empty 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 choose the floor type. It also has an automatic water tank filling system and washing system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any problems with carpets with high piles or area rug, but it was unable to clean up cables or kitty litter that's not a surprise given that it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also uses an innovative mapping system that helps it reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums can't. It also collects more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't have to empty it as frequently. It also has washable filters, which can further cut costs. This robot vacuum that mops can detect carpets and increase suction if needed. The app allows you to mark off areas you want to stay clear of and is a great feature.
