Are You Getting The Most Out From Your Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mop are becoming more capable. They have passed our tests for cleaning, and can handle different flooring. Find models that allow you to choose from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to self-empty and clean the stairs.

Many of the best automatic vacuum cleaner models work with your smartphone. Look for an application that lets you save schedules, maps and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

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

The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which comprises linoleum flooring in the dining area, kitchen and bathrooms and a medium-pile and a large rug. It was capable of driving up to walls and even over raised thresholds without issue. However it had some issues getting down the stairs in one step. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop drove smoothly on its flat side and raised itself when it came to carpets or rugs.

The S1's docking station automatically emptys its trash bin and replenishes its water tank on board with clean, ozonated water prior to each mopping session. The dock also provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1 water tank is able to hold up to 12 mopping sessions, however this will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots that vacuum and mop, the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming blocked. You will also need to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to avoid them becoming clogged up with dust or dirt. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop provides an efficient solution for your cleaning requirements. Its robot vacuum boasts 8,700Pa of suction, and comes with many innovative features, such as full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning to avoid obstructions and cleans furniture. Its mopping capability is impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of simply moving a pad across the surface. The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station when required.

The robot is simple to set up and use, with a simple interface that walks you through the procedure. It also comes with a hand vacuum that can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot can't reach. There are also two water tanks which are automatically filled or empty. It has a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction that is able to easily pick up dust and debris that other robots that vacuum and mop have trouble with. Its navigation abilities are also quite good, though it can get stuck on small mats and rugs around my home (which you can mitigate by defining virtual boundaries in the app). The mopping feature is pretty excellent, too, with two spinning mop heads that actually lift and scrub floors, instead of simply dragging the pad over it. The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station when needed. Mops are also refilled from the top of the base station when needed.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year however their latest flagship model of robot vacuum and mop has even more impressive features. It boasts fantastic cleaning robot mop and vacuum results and hands-free maintenance which makes it a strong contender for our top mop and vacuum robots. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush will ensure a thorough, customized clean is achieved.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, picking up large and fine particles from both hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned the most filthy areas well, and keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other mess. The sweeping performance of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush that extends to get into areas that are difficult to reach and mop pads that run along baseboards.

Its navigation system is intelligent it can navigate tight spaces and negotiating the stairs without a hitch. It is able to move from one room to another without having to change direction. This is useful for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than the ones of other competitors and leaves a large margin between obstacles. This can lead to missing spots.

The app features a simple, intuitive interface that should be easy for both novice and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings, alter mopping and suction power settings as well as view 3D and 2D maps, and more. It is accessible via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri which allows you to monitor its progress from any location. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You'll need a stable internet connection to use it through the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are excellent in removing dirt and debris, but they can't reach every speck of dust. It's important to vacuum regularly, once a week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that both vacuums and mops, is designed to accomplish this. It's easy to connect to your Wi-Fi at home 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. It uses a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves cost by eliminating mopping functions and using a cheaper plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to mop floors, the Q5 offers the best mopping and vacuum performance we've seen on a robot at this price. It has a suction power of 5500Pa, and an automatic empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It also comes with a smart application that lets you choose your floor type and schedule cleanings, and an automatic water tank refill and wash system for hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dirt, dust, and pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 was one of the few robots that we tested to not have problems with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it was able to not handle kitty litter or cable tangles. This isn't a surprise because it doesn't contain AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also has a unique mapping system that allows it to reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums are unable to. 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 can further cut costs. This robot can also detect carpets and increase suction if required. You can also mark areas you would like to be able to keep from using the app.
