1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It uses lidar for navigation making maps of rooms and floors.
The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which includes linoleum flooring in the kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms, as well as carpet in the middle and a large area. It easily drove close to walls without hitting them and even managed to drive across raised room thresholds with no problem, but it sometimes was unable to navigate down the stairs in one pass. The S1 did a good job cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and lifted itself when it was near carpets or rugs.
Prior to each mopping session the docking station on the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and fills up its water tank with clean filtered ozonated water. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however this will vary 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. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming blocked. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors frequently to avoid them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. But, overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially when compared to other combinations that require more care.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
This all-in-1 robot mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a great choice for your cleaning needs. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a variety of innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it, rather than just drag a pad across a surface. The mops are also cleaned and dried in the base station when needed.
This robot combo has a simple interface that guides you throughout the process. It comes with a rechargeable hand vacuum to reach those areas the robot isn't able to reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and replenished whenever needed. It has a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does a good job at vacuuming, and has a powerful suction that easily removes most of the debris, and even smaller pieces of dust 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 home (which is something you can control by creating a virtual border within the app). The mopping feature is pretty good as well, with a pair of spin mop pads that actually lift and scrub the floors, instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned with heated water, and dried in the base station when needed. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station when needed.
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 offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-free maintenance making it a top contender for our best robot vacuum mop cleaner robot and mop list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush will give you a thorough, custom-designed clean.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It is a great choice on hard floors and carpets. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests well while avoiding pet hairs and other mess. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by a side brush that automatically swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, and an extending mop pad that is placed along baseboards.
Its navigation is nimble that can navigate narrow spaces and climbing stairs without missing a beat. It can move from one room to another without needing to reverse the direction. This is a great feature for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than its competitors, however, and tends to leave a wide space around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.
Its app has a streamlined user interface that is designed to be easy to use for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and control cleanings. You can also alter suction power, mop setting as well as view 2D and 3-D maps. You can control it via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely, for real-time video monitoring. But, you'll require a reliable internet connection to use it through the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 Pro
Robot vacuums are great in removing dirt and debris but they're not able to get every bit of dust. It's important to vacuum often, at least once a week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves and in crevices in 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 it 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 S-series models from the company, such as the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on cost by eliminating mopping and using a cheaper plastic body.
Even though it's not able to clean your floors, the Q5 has the best mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot vacuum with mop at this price. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an automatic vacuum and mop emptying system, so you don't have to manually empty the bin every time. It also has a clever application that lets you choose your floor's type and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system for hands-free operation.
Its mops are also awe-inspiring, with 2700Pa of power to take on dirt, dust and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is one of the few robots we tested that didn't have any problems with carpets with high piles or area rugs, but it couldn't pick up cat litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robotic vacuum we've ever tested. It also uses an innovative mapping system that lets it reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums can't. The K10 Plus also collects more dust in the larger bin, meaning that you don't need to empty it as frequently. It also has washable filters which reduces the cost. The robot can recognize carpets, and boost suction when needed. The app allows you to mark areas you want to avoid and is a great feature.
