15 Reasons Not To Overlook Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more capable, acing our tests for cleaning and taking on a variety of floor types. Choose models that allow you to select between a variety of types, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

A lot of the top models are compatible with your smartphone. Find an app that allows you to save schedules, maps and select cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate, and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set up schedules and modify the behavior of the S1.

When I tried the S1 It was quick to locate our downstairs, which has laminate flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms, along with carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was capable of driving up to walls and even across thresholds that are raised without issue. However it was a bit difficult getting down the stairs in one go. The S1 did a good job cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and lifted itself when it reached carpets or rugs.

The docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dust bin and refills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated waters prior to each mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough for about twelve cleaning sessions before needing to be empty, but this will vary depending on how much you use the mop.

The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to keep it from becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean your swivel wheel and sensors regularly to prevent them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, particularly 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 for your cleaning requirements. The robot vacuum is rated at 8,700Pa of suction and offers numerous innovative features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning that eliminates obstacles and cleans around furniture. Its mopping ability is impressive. Rotating mops actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of simply moving a pad across the surface. Mops can also be dried and cleaned at the base station, if needed.

This robot vacuums with mop has an easy-to-use interface that guides you through the process. It also comes with a hand-vacuum that can be used to clean those hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are also two water tanks that are automatically emptied or refilled. It also comes with a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does well at vacuuming, and has a powerful suction that easily removes most debris and even the smaller bits of dust that other robots that vacuum and mop struggle with. Its navigation abilities are also quite good, though it can get stuck on small mats and rugs at my home (which you can reduce by creating virtual boundaries within the app). The mopping feature is pretty good as well, with a pair of spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub the floors, instead of just dragging the pad over it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water, and dried in the basestation when needed. The mops are also refilled at the top of the station when required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year and their new flagship model of robot vacuum and mop has even more impressive features. It offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-free maintenance, making it a clear contender for our top robot vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush ensure an efficient, custom-designed clean is accomplished.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming and removing fine and large debris from hard floors as well as carpets. It also cleaned our tests' most filthy areas well, and avoiding tangled pet hairs and other dirt. The sweeping power of the machine is enhanced by a sidebrush that swings out in order to reach areas that are difficult to reach, and mop pads that extend across baseboards.

Its navigation system is intelligent it can navigate tight spaces and climbing the stairs without a hitch. It can go from one room to the next without having to change direction. This is a great feature for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than some competitors however, and tends to leave a large distance around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.

The interface of the app is simple and easy to use. It should be simple to use for novice and experienced users. The app allows you to plan and manage cleanings, adjust suction power and mopping settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and more. It can be controlled through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri and allows you to keep an eye on its progress from any location. You can also use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get real-time video supervision. You will need a stable WiFi connection to run the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum does an excellent job of removing debris and dirt however, it's not able to be able to reach every bit of dust. It's essential to clean your home frequently, every week. This is particularly important for dust that collects in corners, on shelves, and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot designed to do exactly that. It's easy to connect to your Wi-Fi at home network and works with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more practical addition to your cleaning routine.

The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's pricier S-series models, including the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on price by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a cheaper plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to clean your floors, the Q5 has the best automatic vacuum and mop vacuum and mopping performance we've seen from a robot in this price range. It has a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an automatic-empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It also features a smart app that lets you set your floor type and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic water tank refill and wash system that allows hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 was one of the few robots we tested that did not have issues with high-pile rugs and carpets. However, it could not handle kitty litter or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising, since it does NOT 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, which really helps it get into corners and tight spaces that other vacuums cannot reach. This device also stores dust in a bigger dustbin that means you have to empty it less 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 keep out of the app.
