Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos
Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly capable, acing our tests for cleaning and taking on different types of floors. Select models that allow you to choose between multiple modes, self-empty and clean stairs.
Many of the best models work with smartphones. Look for 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 rooms and floors.
When I tried the S1, it was quick to locate our downstairs, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, plus carpeting with a medium-pile and an area rug. It was able to drive close to walls without crashing into them and even managed to traverse thresholds for rooms that are raised without issue, though it occasionally struggled to get down the stairs in one step. The S1 also did a great job cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving smoothly on its flat side against the floor, and then lifting itself when it reached carpet or rugs.
After every mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and refills its water tank with clean filtered ozonated water. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water for deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough water for around 12 cleaning sessions before it has to be cleaned, although it will differ based on how often you use the mop.
The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like other 2-in-1 robots. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to avoid them getting blocked by dirt or dust. However, overall, the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other models that require more hands-on maintenance.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
This all-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combo from Ecovacs is a powerful option for cleaning requirements. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8,700Pa suction power and comes with a number unique features, including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. The mopping feature is impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor, as opposed to just moving the pad across it. Mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station when needed.
This robot combo has an easy interface that guides you throughout the process. It includes an electric hand vacuum that can be recharged for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot can't reach and two water tanks that are automatically emptied and replenished whenever needed. It comes with a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a good vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction which can easily pick up dust and debris that other robots have trouble with. Its navigation abilities are also decent, but it could get stuck on small mats and rugs in my home (which you can reduce by creating virtual boundaries in the app). Mopping capabilities are quite good and include a pair of mop pads that lift and scrub the floor instead of moving the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as needed. Mops can also be filled at the top of the station as they are required.
3. Dreame X40 Ultra
Dreame released the luxe 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-free maintenance which makes it a strong contender on our top mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush will ensure an efficient, custom-designed clean is completed.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is equally effective on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our tests' most filthy areas well, and eliminating pet hairs that are tangled and other messes. The sweeping performance is augmented by a side brush that extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.
Its navigation is smart, navigating tight spaces and negotiating the stairs without a hitch. It can move from one room to the next without having to reverse direction. This is a great feature for homes with a lot of rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than that of some competitors and leaves a wide space between obstacles. This can result in miss-hit spots.
The app is streamlined user interface that is designed to be easy for both novice and experienced users. The app lets you plan and manage cleanings, alter mopping and suction power settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and more. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, allowing you to monitor its progress from anywhere. You can even tap into the X40 Ultra's camera remotely for real-time video monitoring. However, you will require a reliable Wi-Fi connection to operate it through the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
A robot vacuum does a great job of removing dirt and debris, but it can't always get every last bit of dust. It is important to clean often, at least once a week. This is especially true 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 both vacuums and mops, is designed to do exactly that. It is easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and also works with Alexa or Apple Siri.
The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive S-series models from the company, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's cheaper since it doesn't come with mopping capabilities, and also has a plastic body.
Even though it's not able to wipe your floors, the Q5 still has some of the best vacuum and mopping performance we've seen on a robot at this price. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It also features a smart app that lets you select the type of floor and schedule cleanings, and an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system that allows hands-free operation.
Its mops are also impressive, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on both hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is one of the few robots we tested that didn't show any problems with carpets with high piles or area carpets, but it didn't remove cat litter or cable tangles and cable tangles, which isn't a surprise considering it doesn't include 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. robot vacuum hoover helps it get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums cannot reach. The K10 Plus also has the bin, which means you don't need to empty it as often. It also has washable filters which further reduces costs. automated vacuum is able to detect carpets, and boost suction if necessary. You can also mark areas you want to keep out of the app.
