1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner does not fail to impress. It offers more advanced features than the previous models, but the primary selling point is its ability to intelligently clean your home for you. It can identify the types of flooring and stains as well as no-go areas. It does this by assessing its surroundings using an image sensor and a map. This lets it know what to do at any given time, so you don't need to press buttons repeatedly or adjusting multiple modes.

It has the ability to mop just like the other Roborock vacuums. This is a wonderful addition to the range as it makes this robovac even more efficient than it was before. The mop head can be turned into scrub mode to get rid of more difficult dirt. Another benefit is that the robovac is able to climb small step thresholds thanks to its front-mounted sensor and a rotating FlexiArm.

It's easy to use, with a simple application that lets you create rooms for it to clean and modify settings. Rocky, its voice assistant, is responsive and understands commands clearly. You can ask it to end a task or recite the exact list of commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Matter-certified for Apple HomeKit integration.

The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with 5200mAh battery that can run for up 180 minutes before returning to the dock to recharge. The battery is automatically emptied and cleaned at the end of every run. This reduces the time to recharge.

2. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 Ultra vacuum cleaner is powerful and efficient, excelling in both vacuuming and mopping. This robot vacuum has a powerful suction, a variety of innovative features and is pet-friendly. It's a great option for busy families. Its advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and custom options make it among the top robot vacuum cleaners available on the market.

The robot vacuum utilizes an RGB camera to map its surroundings and spot obstacles with artificial intelligence. This will prevent it from taking your cat's toy or a cable lying on the floor and ruining your flooring. This feature also allows you to label specific areas that the robot broom needs to be aware of during its cleaning routine.

Dreame X40 also excels in mowing and sweeps, with an innovative dual brush system that removes dirt from the corners of your home.

3. Eufy X10

If you're looking to buy a high-end all-rounder then the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It can perform everything you'd want to have a robot mop and vacuum cleaner to do at a cost-effective price.

This model does a fantastic job of tackling floor cleaning tasks with ease from mopping to sweeping and even dusting. Its base station is slightly larger than other models and requires 50cm of room either side plus 150cm in front but for those with enough space, it can provide a completely hands-free clean.

Its intelligent navigation technology can track the layout of your home, storing and utilizing the data within its own internal memory without ever transferring it to the cloud or any other external source. The X10 can keep track of the layout of rooms with iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.

The X10 smart object recognition system is also highly efficient, allowing it to identify and avoid hazards like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and recharge the battery automatically, which is an excellent feature. However, I discovered that the X10 can get stuck on some more thick carpets, which can cause it to crash loudly over them, and sometimes pushing its front brush into the rugs.

Overall it's a top quality robo vacuum and mop that's disappointed by a confusing app. As opposed to the iRobot app, which holds your hand throughout the process of setting up your robot and teaches you how to use it, the Eufy Clean app leaves you to figure it out on your own. It's still a great choice however, and provides plenty of customizability for those that want to make the most out of its features.

4. SwitchBot S10

The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot cleaning machine is the perfect solution to home cleaning robots. It combines the power of a vacuum cleaner and mop. It is fitted with a unique design framework which allows it to collect dust and provide water for mopping in the same machine.

It's equipped with all the usual sensors available on high-end robot vacuums, allowing it to create a map of your household in real time, avoiding obstacles, and recognizing different types of carpets as well as hard floors. A front-facing AI camera is also included to help you to navigate through your home and locate areas that aren't accessible to the majority of robotic vacuums.

This robotic powerhouse has a suction motor with a high-powered power which is capable of removing dirt, pet hair, and other messes from carpeting with low pile and hard floors. The app allows you to customize the robot to your preferences. You can design custom cleaning routines and alter the mopping and vacuuming power.

It has a superb mop, with the RevoRoll roller mop that can create 10N worth of pressure on any floor. It also has a RinseSync system that automatically cleans itself as it moves through your home. This ensures that the mop is clean as it picks up dirt, preventing it from spreading the mess around your home.

The battery life is not as long as its rivals and may require a recharge halfway through if you have a larger house. It is also quite noisy during operation and might not be suitable in areas where quiet is the preferred choice. It is, however, an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is a model that stands out from the rest because of its sleek, modern design.

5. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's bestselling Mini robot vacuum. The latest version comes with an Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor, and an upgraded suction capacity that goes up to 3000Pa, which provides better corner coverage and overall cleanliness.

Utilizing SLAM navigation and a user-friendly application that is easy to use, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor works in tandem with an rotary brush that can be used to navigate around furniture. The four-stage cleaning process is a consolidated method that collects cleans, lifts and sweeps debris from carpets and floors. The dust bin automatically emptys itself so you don't have to be concerned about emptying it often.

You can also mark areas in the space you don't want the robot to enter like power cords or pet toys. This is a feature that's found in all robotic vacuum cleaner commercial (understanding) vacuums and is useful if you have specific areas of the house that require more attention than others.

You can configure the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes in order to empty its dust bin. This is a major improvement over other robots that need to be returned and manually empty. It will save you a lot of time.

In my tests, I found that the K10 Plus' battery life was exceptional. It lasted for 110 minutes in one charge which is much more than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.

The K10 Plus is a compact device that can be easily placed under furniture or in small spaces. It is connected via Wi-Fi and comes with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri shortcuts. It also works with IFTTT and Samsung SmartThings. Its app tracks the usage of its accessories such as the filter, side brushes, and dust bag to let you know when it's time to change them.
