1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive robot vacuums and mop combinations available. It uses lidar to navigate and create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean app that lets you set schedules and alter the behavior of the S1.
When I tested the S1, it was quick to locate the downstairs area, which has laminate flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms, as well as carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It easily drove close to walls without colliding with them, and even managed to drive across raised room thresholds with no problem, but it sometimes had trouble navigating down stairs in a single move. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and swung up when it came to carpets or carpets.
The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its dust bin and refills its water tank on board with clean, ozonated waters prior to each mopping session. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water for deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about twelve cleaning sessions before it has to be cleaned, although it will differ based the amount you use the mop.
The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming clogged. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheels and sensors frequently to avoid them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other combos that require more hands-on maintenance.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro
Robot vacuums are great at picking up dirt and debris but they aren't able to reach all dust. It's important to vacuum regularly, once a week. This is especially true for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed specifically for this purpose. It is easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and it works with Alexa or Apple Siri.
The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it doesn't have mopping capabilities and has an aluminum body.
The Q5 is still one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've ever seen at this price even though it's not able to clean your floor. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an auto-empty system which means you don't need to manually empty the bin every time. It also has a clever app that lets you set your floor's type and schedule cleanings, and an automatic water tank refill and wash system that allows hands-free operation.
Its mops are also awe-inspiring, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dust, dirt and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 was one of the few robots that we tested to not have issues with high-pile rugs and carpets. However, it could not remove kitty-poop or cable tangles. This isn't a surprise, since it does NOT have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robot vacuum we've ever tested. It also uses an innovative mapping system that lets it reach tight corners and corners that other vacuums cannot. It also has the bin, which means you don't have to empty it as frequently. It also has washable filters which can further cut costs. The robot can also recognize carpets and increase suction if required. You can also mark off areas you would like to be able to keep from using the app.
