The Ultimate Guide To Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more capable, acing our tests for cleaning and taking on a variety of floor types. Look for models that let you choose from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to self-empty and clean the stairs.

Many of the top models are compatible with smartphones. Find an application 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 vacuums and mop combos 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 dining area, kitchen, and bathrooms and also a medium-pile and a large rug. It was capable of driving close to walls and even across raised thresholds without issue. However, it had some difficulty traversing the stairs in one go. The S1 also did a great job cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop smoothly on the flat side against the floor, and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or rug.

Before each mopping session, the docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and refills the water tank with clean filtered ozonated water. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water for deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can be able to accommodate 12 mopping sessions, however this will vary based on how often you use the mop.

The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like other 2-in-1 robots. In order to do this, you'll have to wash the dirty water tank occasionally to prevent it from clogging. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

This all-in-one robotic cleaner and mop vacuum and mop combo from Ecovacs is a powerful option to meet your cleaning needs. The Ecovacs robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction and comes with a number of unique features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning that avoids obstructions and cleans furniture. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of simply drag a pad across a surface. The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station as needed.

This robot combination is simple to set up and use, and has a clear interface that walks you through the procedure. It also includes a hand vacuum which can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are also two water tanks that can be automatically filled or empty. It also has a number of settings that can be used to fine tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does a good job at vacuuming, and has a powerful suction that easily removes all kinds of debris, including the tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are solid as well, though it is sometimes hung up on the tiny carpets or area mats that I have in my house (which is something you can control by creating a virtual border in the app). The mopping capabilities are quite excellent, too, with a pair of spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub floors, as opposed to just dragging the pad over it. The mops can also be cleaned with heated water, and dried in the basestation whenever required. Mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. However, their latest flagship model has even more impressive features. It has outstanding cleaning performance and hands-off maintenance which makes it a strong contender for our best robot cleaner robot vacuum (webpage) and mop list. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush ensure an effective, customized cleaning is accomplished.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming and removing large and fine particles from hard floors as well as carpets. It also cleaned the most soiled areas efficiently, while keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other messes. The sweeping power is enhanced by a side brush that swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is intelligent that can navigate narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without skipping a step. It is able to move from one room to the next without needing to reverse the direction. This is a great feature for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than some competitors However, it tends to leave a large margin around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.

Its app has a streamlined, intuitive interface that should be easy to use for both new and experienced users. The app allows you to plan and manage cleanings, adjust the suction power and mopping settings and view 3D and 2D maps, and more. It can be controlled through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri and allows you to monitor its progress from anywhere. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. But, you'll require a reliable Wi-Fi connection in order to operate it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are great in removing dirt and debris but they aren't able to reach all dust. It's important to vacuum 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 vacuums as well as mop, is designed to do exactly that. It's simple to connect to your Wi-Fi at home network and integrates with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more convenient addition to your routine of cleaning.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's pricier S-series models, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, but it is cheaper because it doesn't have mopping capabilities and has plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've seen at this price even though it's not able to clean your floor. It's got a powerful suction power of 5500Pa and an automatic emptying system, so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It also has a clever app that lets you set the type of floor and schedule cleanings, and an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with a 2700Pa power that can tackle dirt and pet hair on carpets as well as hard floors. The Q5 was one of the few robots that we tested to not have issues with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it could not remove kitty-poop or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising as it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle-avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robot autonomous vacuum we've ever tested. It also features a unique mapping system that allows it to reach corners and tight places that other vacuums are unable to. The K10 Plus also has the bin, which means you don't need to empty it as frequently. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters, which reduces the cost of using the device. The robot can recognize carpets and increase suction if needed. You can also mark off areas you would like to be able to keep from using the app.
