robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuums and mops have become more adept, passing our tests for cleaning and taking on various floor types. Find models that let you choose between several modes, utilize their charging dock to self-empty and clean up stairs.

Many of the top models work with your smartphone. Look for an application that lets you save maps, schedules and select cleaning options.

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 makes use of lidar to navigate, create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set up schedules and modify the S1's behavior.

When I tested the S1, it was able to map our downstairs, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, plus carpeting with a medium-pile and an area rug. It was able to drive close to walls and even across thresholds that are raised without issue. However, it had some difficulty navigating down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did a great 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 carpet.

The docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water prior to every mopping session. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water for deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however this will vary depending on the frequency you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to keep it working well. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to prevent them from becoming clogged with 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 your cleaning requirements. Its robot vacuum has 8,700Pa suction power and comes with a variety of unique features, including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive, with rotating mops that actually lift and scrub the floor instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned and dried at the base station, as required.

This robot combo is easy to set up and use, with a simple interface that guides you through the procedure. It also comes with a hand vacuum that can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are two water tanks that are automatically emptied or filled. It comes with a variety of settings that can be used to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum robotic cleaner and mop. It has a powerful suction which can easily pick up dirt and other debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are robust, however it can sometimes get caught up on the tiny rug or area mats I have in my home (which is something you can control by creating a virtual boundary within the app). The mopping capabilities are quite excellent, too, with a pair of spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub floors, instead of just dragging the pad over it. The mops are also cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station as needed. Mops can also be refilled at the top of the station if they are required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year however their latest flagship model of robot vacuums best mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It has outstanding cleaning performance and hands-off maintenance making it a top contender for our best robot cleaner vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush ensure a thorough, custom-designed clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, removing large and small particles from both hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest areas of our tests efficiently by avoiding pet hairs as well as other dirt. The sweeping power is enhanced by a side brush that moves out to tackle difficult-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is nimble, navigating narrow spaces and climbing stairs without skipping a beat. It is able to move from one room to the next without having to reverse direction. This is beneficial for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is not as advanced than other models, however, and tends to leave a thick distance over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

Its app has a streamlined user interface that is designed to be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleaning tasks. You can also adjust suction power, mop settings as well as view 3-D and 2D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri which allows you to keep an eye on its progress from any location. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You'll require a reliable Wi-Fi connection to operate it through the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are fantastic at removing dirt and debris but they aren't able to reach every bit of dust. That's why it's important to use your regular vacuum once every week, and especially to pick up dust in corners, on shelves, and in the corners of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums as well as mop, is made to accomplish this. It is simple to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and also works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's more expensive S-series models. It includes the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves cost by eliminating mopping and using a less expensive plastic body.

Although it's no longer able to wipe your floors, the Q5 still offers the best vacuum and mopping performance we've seen on a robot at this price. It has a powerful suction of 5500Pa, and an automatic empty system so you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It also features a smart app that lets you set your floor type and schedule cleanings. It also has an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system that allows hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dirt, dust and pet hair on carpets and 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 did not remove kitty-poop or cable tangles. This isn't a surprise because it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also has an innovative mapping system that allows it to reach tight corners and corners that other vacuums can't. The K10 Plus also is able to collect more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't have to empty it as frequently. Additionally, it has washable filters that further lower the expenses associated with using the device. This robot can detect carpets, and increase suction if needed. You can also mark areas you would like to keep out of the app.
