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 makes use of lidar to navigate making maps of rooms and floors.

When I tested the S1 It was quick to identify our downstairs, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, plus carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls without hitting them, and even managed to drive across raised room thresholds with no problem, although it sometimes was unable to navigate down stairs in a single move. The S1 performed well in cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and raised itself when it reached carpets or rugs.

The S1's docking station automatically empties its trash bin and fills its water tank on board with clean, ozonated water before every mopping session. The dock adds a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's tank of water holds enough for about a dozen cleaning sessions before it needs to be cleaned, although it will differ based on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to ensure it is operating well. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming clogged. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheels and sensors frequently to avoid them from becoming clogged with dirt or dust. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic cleaner and mop vacuum and mop is a powerful solution for cleaning. Its robot vacuum has 8700Pa suction power, and comes with many advanced features like voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are remarkable, with mops rotating that actually lift and scrub the floor, instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned and dried in the base station when needed.

This robot combo is easy to setup and use, with a clear interface that walks you through the procedure. It also includes a hand vacuum that can be utilized to clean those difficult to reach areas that the robot is unable to reach. There are also two water tanks that can be automatically emptied or refilled. It comes with a variety of useful settings that allow you to fine tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does excellent job of vacuuming, with strong suction that easily removes all kinds of debris, including the tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are robust, however it can sometimes get caught up on the tiny area mats or rugs that I have in my house (which is something you can mitigate by creating a virtual boundary within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good with a pair of spinning mop heads that can lift and scrub the floor instead of simply moving the pad across it. The mops are cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station when needed. The mops are also filled at the top of the station as needed.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. But their latest flagship model is packed with impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a contender for our top list of mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition, and an extended side brush guarantee a thorough, customised clean.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is equally effective on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our tests' most filthy areas well, and keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other messes. The sweeping capability of the machine is enhanced by a sidebrush that automatically swings out in order to get into areas that are difficult to reach and mop pads that run along baseboards.

Its navigation is intelligent it can navigate through small spaces and negotiating stairways without missing a step. It can move from one area to another without changing direction which is a great feature for homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than some competitors and leaves a large space between obstacles. This can lead to missing spots.

The app is streamlined user interface that is designed to be easy to use for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings. You can also alter the suction power, mop settings and view 2D and 3-D maps. You can control it through the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also 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

A robot vacuum can do a fantastic job of picking up debris and dirt but it's not always able to be able to reach every piece of dust. It's essential to clean your home often, at least once a week. This is especially true for dust that builds up in corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums and mop, is designed to accomplish this. It's easy to connect it to your home WiFI network and also works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's expensive S-series models, which include the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, but it's cheaper since it doesn't come with mopping capabilities and comes with an aluminum body.

The Q5 is one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping robots we've seen in this price range, despite not being able to wipe your floor. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, so you don't have to manually empty the bin every time. It also has a clever app that lets you set the type of floor and schedule cleanings, and an automatic vacuum and mop water tank refill and wash system that allows hands-free operation.

The mops also stand out, with a 2700Pa power that can combat pet hair and dirt, on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 was among the few robots we tested that did not have a problem with high-pile area rugs and carpets. However, it was able to 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 one of the quietest robovacs we have tested, it also utilizes a unique system to map your home this will allow it to enter places that other vacuums cannot reach. The device also collects dust in a bigger dustbin which means you need to empty it less often. It also has washable filters which further reduces the costs associated with using the device. The robot vacuum that vacuums and mops is able to detect carpets and increase suction if necessary. You can also mark off areas you would like to be able to keep from using the app.
