Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more efficient, passing our tests for cleaning and taking on different types of floors. Look for models that let you choose between several modes, utilize their charging docks to self-empty and clean stairs.

Many of the best models work with your smartphone. Look for an application that lets you save maps, schedules, and choose 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 combinations on the market. It uses lidar for navigation making maps of floors and rooms.

When I tested the S1, it was able to map the downstairs area, which has Linoleum 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 without hitting them, and was able to cross raised room thresholds with no problem, although it sometimes struggled to get down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did an excellent job cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop effortlessly on its flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it was near carpet or rugs.

The S1's docking station automatically empties its trash bin and fills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water before every mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 cleaning sessions, but this will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. You'll need to wash out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors frequently to avoid them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially when compared to other models that require more hands-on maintenance.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop provides a powerful solution for cleaning. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8700Pa of suction power and comes with a number unique features, including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor, instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station when required.

The robot is simple to install and use, with a clear interface that walks you through the process. It also includes a hand vacuum that can be used to clean those hard-to reach areas that the robot is unable to reach. There are two water tanks that can be automatically emptied or filled.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum mop cleaner robot cleaner. It has a powerful suction which can easily remove dust and debris that other robots have difficulty with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it can get stuck on small mats and rugs around my home (which you can mitigate by creating virtual boundaries within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good and include a pair of mop pads that can lift and scrub the floor instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as required. Mops can also be refilled at the top of the station as required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame launched the high-end X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new flagship model of robot mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It boasts fantastic cleaning results and hands-off maintenance, making it a clear contender for our best mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and a larger side brush ensure a thorough, customized clean is completed.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It works equally well on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned the most soiled areas efficiently, while avoiding tangled pet hairs and other mess. 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 system is nimble that can navigate tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without stepping back. It can easily move from one room to another without reversing direction which is a great feature for larger homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is less advanced than that of some competitors, and leaves a huge space over obstacles. This can result in miss-hit spots.

Its app has a streamlined and intuitive interface that will be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app allows you to plan and manage cleanings, adjust mopping and suction power settings and view 3D and 2D maps, and more. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You'll need a stable internet connection to access the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are great at picking up dirt and debris, but they can't reach every speck of dust. This is why it's crucial to make use of your regular vacuum once every week, and especially to pick up dust 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 do exactly that. It's easy to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more practical addition to your routine of cleaning.

The Q5 is a stripped down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, which includes the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's cheaper since it does not have mopping capabilities and comes with plastic body.

The Q5 is one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've seen in this price range, despite not being able to clean your floor.

It comes with a smart app which allows you to schedule cleaning and set the floor type. It also has an automatic water tank filling and washing system that is hands-free.

Its mops also impress with its 2700Pa power that can take on pet hair and dirt, on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have trouble with high-pile carpets and area rug, but it was unable to pick up kitty litter or cable tangles and cable tangles, which isn't a surprise given that it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also uses a unique mapping system that helps it reach tight corners and corners that other vacuums are unable to. The K10 Plus also has the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as frequently. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters which further reduces the costs associated with using the device. The robot vacuums uk can also recognize carpets and boost the suction if required.
