Many of the best robot vacuum that mops models work with your smartphone. Find an app that lets you save maps, schedules and select cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The black and gloss gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive robot vacuums and mop combinations available. It uses lidar for navigation and creates maps of rooms and floors.

The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which includes linoleum in the kitchen, dining area and bathrooms and also a large rugs and a medium-pile. It was able to drive right up to walls without colliding with them and even managed to cross thresholds that were raised in the room without issue, though it occasionally struggled to get down stairs in a single move. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and lifted itself when it was near carpets or rugs.

The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and fills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated waters prior to 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 mopping sessions, however it will differ depending on the frequency you use the mop.

The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to wash out the dirty tank to avoid it becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to avoid them getting clogged up with dirt or dust. However, overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially compared to other models which require more effort to maintain.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs All-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is an efficient solution for cleaning. Its robot vacuum boasts 8,700Pa of suction and offers a number of unique features, including full home mapping, voice control, and smart path-planning to avoid obstructions and cleans furniture. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mops actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of just dragging a pad across the surface. The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station when required.

The robot comes with a simple interface that guides you throughout the process. It includes a hand vacuum that recharges for those areas that the robot can't reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and replenished whenever needed. It also has a range of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does excellent job of vacuuming, with strong suction that easily picks up most of the debris, and even tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty robust, however it does sometimes get hung up on the small rug or area mats I have in my home (which is something you can control by creating a virtual border in the app). The mopping capabilities are quite good as well, with two spinning mops that actually lift and scrub floors, as opposed to just dragging the pad over it. The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station when required. The mops are also filled at the top of the station when they are required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. However, their latest flagship model is packed with impressive features. It is a great cleaner and is simple to maintain. This makes it a worthy contender for our top list of robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a long side brush guarantee a thorough, custom-designed clean.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It is equally effective on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our tests' dirtiest areas well, keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other mess. The sweeping performance is augmented by an additional side brush that automatically swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is smart it can navigate narrow spaces and climbing stairs without missing a beat. It can move from one room to another without changing direction, which is a handy feature for larger homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is not as advanced than some competitors and leaves a wide space over obstacles. This can result in missing spots.

The interface of the app is simple and easy to use. It should be simple to use by both novice and experienced users. The app lets you plan and manage cleanings, alter the suction power and mopping settings as well as view 3D and 2D maps, and more. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even tap into the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get live video surveillance. You'll need a stable WiFi connection to run 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 reach every last particle of dust. That's why it's important to make use of your regular vacuum once every week, particularly to remove dust from corners, on shelves and in the corners of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that both vacuums and mop, is designed to accomplish this. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and integrates with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful 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, such as the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It is equipped with the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it does not have mopping capabilities, and also has plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've ever seen in this price range, even though it's not equipped to wipe your floor. It has a strong suction of 5500Pa, and an automatic vacuum and mop robot empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin by hand each time. It comes with a smart application that lets you schedule cleanings and choose the floor type. It also features an automatic vacuum and mop robot water tank filling system and washing system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with 2700Pa of power to take on dust, dirt, and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any problems with carpets with high piles or area rugs, but it couldn't clean up kitty litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise given that it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we've tested. It also has a unique method to map your home this allows it to get into places that other vacuums are unable to reach. It also is able to collect more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as often. It also has washable filters, which can further cut costs. This robot can also detect carpets and increase suction when needed. The app allows you to mark areas you want to stay clear of, which is a nice feature.
