How To Save Money On Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more adept, 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 up stairs.

Many of the best models integrate with your smartphone. Find an app that allows you to 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 combos on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate making maps of floors and rooms.

When I tried the S1 It was quick to map the downstairs area, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, as well as carpeting with a medium-pile and an area rug. It was able to drive right up to walls without colliding with them and even managed to drive across thresholds that were raised in the room without problem, but it sometimes struggled to get down stairs in a single pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop smoothly on the flat side against the floor, and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or rug.

Before each mopping session, the docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills the water tank onboard with clean filtered ozonated water. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about 12 cleaning sessions before needing to be cleaned, although this will vary depending on how much you use the mop.

The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. It is necessary to regularly wash out the dirty tank to avoid it becoming blocked. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from getting clogged by dust or dirt. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

This all-in-one robot mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a great choice for your cleaning requirements. The robot vacuum is rated at 8700Pa of suction and comes with a number of unique features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning to avoid obstacles and cleans around furniture. Its mopping capability is impressive, with rotating mops that actually lift and scrub the floor, instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station, as needed.

The robot is simple to set up and use, and has a clear interface that walks you through the process. It also includes a hand vacuum which can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot is unable to reach. There are also two water tanks which are automatically emptied or refilled. It also has a range of settings that can be used to fine tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a good vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction which can effortlessly remove dirt and other debris that other robots that vacuum and mop have difficulty with. Its navigation capabilities are robust, however it can sometimes get caught up on the small carpets or area mats that I have in my house (which is something you can control by creating a virtual boundary in the application). Its mopping capabilities are also quite good and include a pair of mops which are able to lift and scrub floors instead of simply moving the pad across it. The mops can also be cleaned using heated water and dried in the basestation as needed. The mops can also be replenished at the top of the station if required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year and their new top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It has outstanding cleaning performance and hands-off maintenance, making it a clear contender for our best mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure that an efficient, custom-designed clean is completed.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, getting rid of both large and fine debris. It works equally well on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned the most soiled areas efficiently, while eliminating pet hairs that are tangled and other messes. The sweeping power of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush that automatically swings out in order to get into areas that are difficult to reach and mop pads that extend across baseboards.

Its navigation is intelligent, navigating tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a step. It can move from one room to another without having to reverse direction which is a great feature for homes with several rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is less advanced than that of some competitors and leaves a wide space over obstacles. This can lead to missed spots.

The app is streamlined user interface that is designed to be easy for both novice and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleaning tasks. You can also adjust suction power, mop settings, and view 3-D and 2D maps. It can be operated through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri and allows you to monitor its progress from anywhere. You can also use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely for real-time video monitoring. But, you'll require a stable Wi-Fi connection to operate it via the app as well as external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum does a great job of removing debris and dirt however, it's not able to be able to reach every bit of dust. It is important to clean frequently, every week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop designed specifically for this purpose. It's simple to connect to your Wi-Fi at home network and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful addition to your daily cleaning routine.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's more expensive S-series models, which include the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves cost by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a cheaper plastic body.

Although it's no longer able to clean your floors, the Q5 still has some of the best mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot vacuum best at this price. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an auto-empty system so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It comes with a smart application which allows you to schedule cleanings and choose the floor type. It also comes with an automatic water tank filling system and washing system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 was one of the few robots we tested did not show problems with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it was able to not handle kitty litter or cable tangles. This isn't surprising because it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we have tested, it also has a unique method to map your home this allows it to get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums cannot reach. This device also has the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as frequently. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters, which reduces the expenses associated with using the device. This robot can also detect carpets and increase suction if needed. The app allows you to mark areas that you want it to stay clear of and is a great feature.
