20 Fun Details About Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly adept, passing our cleaning tests and tackling a variety of floor types. Find models that allow you to select from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to automatically empty, and clean up stairs.

Many of the best models work with smartphones. Find an app that allows you to save maps, schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate, and create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set schedules and customize the S1's behaviour.

When I tested the S1, it was able to identify our downstairs, which is home to laminate flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms, along with medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls and even over raised thresholds without issue. However it had some issues getting down the stairs in one go. The S1 also did a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop smoothly on the flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it reached carpet or rug.

After every mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank onboard with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough for about a dozen 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 all 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to periodically rinse out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming blocked. Also, you'll need to clean your swivel wheel and sensors regularly to avoid them 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 vacuum and mop combo from Ecovacs is a powerful option for cleaning requirements. Its robot vacuum boasts 8,700Pa of suction, and comes with numerous innovative features, including full home mapping, voice control, and smart path-planning to avoid obstructions and cleans furniture. Its mopping capability is impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor as opposed to just drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned and dried at the base station, as needed.

This robot combination is simple to set up and use, with a clear interface that walks you through the process. It includes a rechargeable hand vacuum for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot isn't able to reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and refilled as required. It also has a number of settings that can be used to fine tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that is able to easily pick up dust and debris that other robots have trouble with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it could get stuck on small area mats and rugs in my home (which you can alleviate by creating virtual boundaries in the app). The mopping capabilities are quite good as well, with a pair of spinning mop heads that actually lift and scrub the floors, instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station as needed. The mops are also refilled at the top of the station when they are required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was released earlier this year. But their latest flagship model has even more impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a top contender on our list of the best robotic mop and vacuum mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition, and an extended side brush guarantee a thorough, custom-designed clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, picking up large and small particles from both hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned our test's dirtiest areas well, keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other dirt. The sweeping performance of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush which automatically swings out in order to reach hard-to-reach areas, and a mop pad that extends across baseboards.

Its navigation is smart that can navigate tight spaces and climbing the stairs without a hitch. It can easily move from one room to another without reversing direction which is a great feature for larger homes with many rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than its competitors However, it tends to leave a large space around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.

The app's interface is intuitive and well-organized. It should be easy to use for novice and experienced users. The app lets you plan and manage cleanings, alter suction power and mopping settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and more. It can be operated 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. However, you will need a stable internet connection to use it through the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum can do a fantastic job of removing dirt and debris, but it can't always reach every last particle of dust. It's essential to clean your home regularly, once a week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that both vacuums and mops, is designed to do exactly that. It is easy to connect to your WiFI network at home and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is an edgier version of the company's pricier S-series models, including the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, but it is cheaper because it doesn't have mopping capabilities and comes with plastic body.

Even though it's not able to wipe your floors, the Q5 still has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robotic 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 each time. It also features a smart app that lets you select the type of floor and schedule cleanings. It also has an automatic water tank refill and wash system for hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive with 2700Pa of power to take on dust, dirt and pet hair on carpets and hard floors. The Q5 was one of the few robots we tested did not show issues with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it could not pick up kitty-litter or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising because it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robot mop vacuum we've ever tested. It also uses an innovative mapping system that helps it reach tight corners and corners that other vacuums are unable to. This device also collects more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as frequently. Additionally, it has washable filters, which reduces the expenses associated with using the device. This robot vacuum best can also detect carpets and increase suction if needed. You can also mark off areas you want to keep out of the app.
