The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets that shed fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the best floor cleaning solutions. This machine can mop, vacuum and clean its own dual mop pad.

It also has 8,000Pa suction, which is the highest of any robot we've examined. It can also organize cleaning schedules and save maps of your home from its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs range of robot vacuum mop hybrids. This wet-dry model is equipped with Ecovacs' new AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that provides improved mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to the one used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan up to 32 feet by 270 degrees. That translates into more precise mapping, faster response times, and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard spots than traditional mops. In my tests, the X2 Omni washed its pad in just over a second and got to work. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was able to navigate around corners and edges of my rooms, and also create "Zambani patterns" up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water before beginning another cleaning task.

The X2 Omni is as simple to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. Simply snap the dock into place connect it to the power outlet and pair it with your home WiFi network. It only takes about a minute. Then, you can start the app and begin with your first task of cleaning. I was able dive into the settings and personalize my floor plan in about 15 minutes, including creating restricted areas to sweep and mop and reworking my furniture placements, and so on. The X2 Omni was astonished during my tests, scoring excellent scores for cleaning pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in crevice and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a G10 Max: Powerful And Smart Robot Vacuum Cleaner combination of mopping and vacuuming then check out the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line of the brand and comes with the latest OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system which uses dual-spinning brushes for more effective cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a unique natural language processing tech that can respond to a wide range of voice commands. The ECOVACS App allows you to map your house, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The biggest issue with the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single run. The two modes require you attach and remove mop heads according to the need and is suitable for most homes, but isn't a good fit for people who lead busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is a great robot vacuum that delivers impressive results. It vacuumed up more than 96% of the dust we tossed at it on our hardwood flooring which is an impressive performance. It did an excellent job on carpets and tiles and removed 99percent of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mops has an extensive docking system that lets you clean the mop pads automatically using cool water for the mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag that is easy to replace, and hot air drying for fast and easy maintenance. It also has a large water tank that allows for frequent washing and drying between mopping runs.

Like other mopping machines such as the Deebot T10, this one comes with a wash tray at its base that cleans and dries the mop pads as it uses them. It doesn't have a removable tray, so dust, dirt and other grime can slowly build up on the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

While Anker-owned Eufy is well-known in the robot vacuum space, this model is its first venture into the world of mopping. It features upgraded intelligence with multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that adjusts automatically to the type of surface you're cleaning. It's a great mid-range robotic vacuum cleaner although it can't exactly live up to its promise of being an all-in-one solution for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be an ordinary robotic cleaner from the top. It is a circular design with sweeper wheels and an elevated sensor area. On the opposite side, you'll see a motorised floorbrush and one side brush that moves dust from the edges into the main path of its' mouth.' It's smaller than the main brushes on the competing iRobot Roomba S9, which I found to be easier to fit under sofas and chairs.

Its mapping system is fairly sophisticated, allowing you to set no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. It has a habit of bumping into things like its charging station, and isn't the best at climbing over carpets. It was good at picking up pet hair from bare floors. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5 percent of cat litter.

Although it's controlled through the app it's also controllable via the app. X8 Hybrid also comes with a series of physical buttons on its base that allow you to choose a cleaning mode and turn the robot off and on. These buttons can be used to set up zones that are not allowed to be visited and to access real-time maps. It's a little chatty, and will let you know what it's going to do next ("start cleaning") or warn you that something is wrong (it isn't able to charge, for instance).

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model sucks up pet hair, kibble, and other debris with top-notch performance and is able to effortlessly maneuver around furniture legs. It has a feature set that is impressive, which includes two cleaning modes, an automatic docking station and real-time obstacles avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best controlled using the Neato app, where cleanings can be scheduled and the overall maintenance requirements monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes that have a mixture of hard and carpet flooring. However it will require some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with electrical cables, toys or other unintentional obstructions.

The robot performed well in our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything, from one rice grain to a variety of dog food pieces with only one sweep. It had some difficulties transitioning to rugs however, this vacuum cleaner is great for large rooms with flooring of all kinds and a mix of pets.

It's a bit expensive, but if you can handle the cost this is a great option for those who wish to leave their home hands-free to go about other tasks or to take care of chores. The A4s Pro also offers a convenient auto-cleaning mode that automatically boosts suction power to tackle tough spills and dirt and is equipped with batteries that power the ElectroWall which allows you to place boundaries where the robot isn't allowed to access.

This budget-friendly robot from a popular new brand is the most affordable we've ever tested, and provides incredible value for money. Its navigation system is basic and uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm, but it doesn't have room mapping capabilities, making it less time efficient than other models on this list. However it's still able to reach under furniture and in corners and its mopping mode performed well during our tests, picking up stray pet hair and other debris easily.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at cleaning up revolutionize pet hair cleaning with robot vacuums hair on all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning carpets with low piles and bare floors. It also uses intelligent-pathing navigational software to improve maneuverability. It also lets you assign it to a specific room, and its advanced suite of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It can even stop and restart the cleaning process, so it's perfect for homes with pets.

The self-cleaning brushroll eliminates knots and holds up to 30 days of dirt. It also comes with a set of side brushes that are angled to dig deep into corners, and its multi-stage filter system is able to capture dust, dander and allergens for a cleaner air.

This vacuum feels solid and well-constructed, and it has a smartphone app that lets you change its vacuum settings and schedule cleaning times in advance. The app lets you see the remaining battery life and send push notifications about any issues it encounters during a cleaning session. You can use your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you do not have either of these devices, you can mark areas with physical boundary strips.

The iQ does a good job of removing bare floors and doing a fair job on shaggy and low-pile carpet however, it doesn't have the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It is also expensive and the cost of recurring use can be quite costly.
