Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more efficient, passing our tests for cleaning and taking on various floor types. Choose models that permit you to choose between multiple modes, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

A lot of the top models work with your smartphone. Find an app that lets you save schedules, maps 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 uses lidar to navigate, and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set schedules and alter the S1's behaviour.

The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which comprises linoleum flooring in the kitchen, dining area and bathrooms, as well as large rugs and a medium-pile. It was able to drive right up to walls without hitting them, and was able to cross thresholds for rooms that are raised without issue, though it occasionally had trouble navigating down the stairs in one move. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving effortlessly on its flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it reached carpet or carpet.

Before each mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and refills the water tank onboard with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for around a dozen cleaning sessions before needing to be cleaned, although it will differ based the amount you use the mop.

The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming blocked. It is also necessary to clean your swivel wheel and sensors regularly to avoid them getting blocked by dust or dirt. Overall the S1 is easy to maintain, particularly compared to other models that require more care.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is an efficient solution to your cleaning needs. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a number innovative features including voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it, rather than simply moving a pad across the surface. Mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station, if required.

This robot combo has a simple interface that guides you throughout the process. It includes a rechargeable hand vacuum for those areas that the robot can't reach, as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and filled when needed. It comes with 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 powerful suction that is able to effortlessly remove dirt and other debris that other robots that vacuum and mop struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it could get stuck on small area mats and rugs at my home (which you can reduce by creating virtual boundaries within the app). The mopping feature is pretty good as well, with a pair of spin mops that actually lift and scrub the floors instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops can also be cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station whenever needed. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as needed.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame launched the high-end X30 Ultra earlier this year and their new top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It is a great cleaner and is simple to maintain. This makes it a worthy contender for our list of the best robot vacuum cleaner and mop mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush ensure an efficient, custom-designed clean is achieved.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, picking up large and small particles from hard floors as well as carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest places of our tests well, avoiding pet hairs and other dirt. The sweeping power is enhanced by an additional side brush that automatically moves out to tackle difficult-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that is placed along baseboards.

Its navigation is smart, navigating tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without stepping back. It can easily move from one room to another without reversing direction which is a great feature for homes with several rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than other models However, it tends to leave a thick margin around obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

The app is streamlined, intuitive interface that should be easy to use for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleaning tasks. You can also alter the suction power, mop settings, and view 2D and 3-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get real-time video monitoring. You'll need a stable Wi-Fi connection in order to operate it via the app as well as external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are great at picking up dirt and debris but they aren't able to reach all dust. It is important to clean regularly, once a week. This is especially important for dust that builds up in corners, on shelves and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums and mop, is made to do exactly that. It is easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive S-series models from the company, which includes the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but saves on cost by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a cheaper plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to wipe your floors, the Q5 has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen on a robot in this price range. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an automatic emptying system, so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It comes with a smart application which allows you to schedule cleaning and determine the floor type. It also has an automatic water tank filling system and washing system that is hands-free.

Its mops are also impressive with its 2700Pa power to combat pet hair and dirt on carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any problems with carpets with high piles or area rug, but it was unable to clean up cables or kitty litter that's not a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also uses an innovative mapping system that helps it reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums are unable to. This device also collects dust in a larger dustbin which means you have to empty it less often. It also has washable filters that further lower the expenses associated with using the device. The robot is also able to detect carpets and increase suction when needed. The app allows you to mark areas that you want it to stay clear of this is a useful feature.
