Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Other Ways To Say Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mop are getting more powerful. They have passed our tests for cleaning, and can handle a variety of flooring. Choose models that allow you to select between a variety of modes, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

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

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate, creating maps of floors and rooms.

When I tested 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 close to walls and even cross thresholds that are raised without issue. However it was a bit difficult getting down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did an excellent job cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving effortlessly on its flat side against the floor and then lifting itself when it was near carpet or rugs.

The docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and fills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water prior to each mopping session. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however it will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires regular maintenance to ensure that it's operating efficiently. You'll need to periodically rinse out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to avoid them getting clogged up with dirt or dust. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs All-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is an efficient solution for cleaning. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a number unique features, including voice control and smart path planning that cleans around furniture and eliminates obstacles. Its mopping ability is impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of just drag a pad across a surface. The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station, as needed.

This robot has an easy-to-use interface that guides you through the process. It comes with a rechargeable hand vacuum for those areas that the robot can't reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically empty and replenished as needed. It comes with a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does excellent job of vacuuming, with a strong suction that easily removes all kinds of debris, including the tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it could get stuck on small mats and rugs at my home (which you can mitigate by defining virtual boundaries in the app). The mopping capabilities are quite impressive, and comes with two spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub floors, instead of just dragging the pad over it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as required. The mops can also be filled at the top of the station when needed.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was launched earlier this year. But their latest flagship model has even more impressive features. It is a great cleaner and is simple to maintain. This makes it a contender for our top list of robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush guarantee an efficient, customized clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, removing large and fine particles from both hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned our test's most filthy areas well, and avoiding tangled pet hairs and other messes. The sweeping performance is augmented by a side brush that automatically extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, as well as an extended mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is nimble that can navigate tight spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a beat. It can easily move from one room to another without having to reverse direction which is a great feature for homes with many rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than that of some competitors and leaves a wide space around obstacles. This can lead to miss-hit spots.

The app is streamlined, intuitive interface that should be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings, adjust suction power and mopping settings as well as view 3D and 2D maps, and much more. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, allowing you to monitor its progress from any location. You can even tap into the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get real-time video monitoring. You will require a stable internet connection to access the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

A robot vacuum can do a fantastic job of removing dirt and debris however, it's not able to reach every last bit of dust. It's essential to clean your home frequently, every week. This is especially important for dust that collects in corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop designed to accomplish exactly that. It's simple to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and integrates with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful addition to your daily cleaning routine.

The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's more pricier S-series models, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it does not have mopping capabilities and comes with a plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've seen in this price range, even though it's not equipped to clean your floors. It's got a powerful suction power of 5500Pa and an auto vacuum and mop-empty system so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It comes with a smart application that lets you schedule cleanings and determine the floor type. It also comes with an automatic vacuum cleaner water tank filling system and washing system to allow hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on both hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't have any issues with high-pile carpets or area carpets, but it didn't clean up cat litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise since it does not include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we have tested. It also has a unique method to map your home, which really helps it get into corners and tight spaces that other vacuums cannot reach. It also collects more dust in a larger bin, so you don't need to empty it as often. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters, which reduces the cost of using the device. The robot can also recognize carpets and boost the suction when needed. You can also mark areas you would like to keep out of the app.
