1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
Eufy's gunmetal-and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combos available on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate and creates maps of floors and rooms.
The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms, as well as carpet in the middle and a large area. It was capable of driving up to walls and even over thresholds that are raised without issue. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one step. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and raised itself when it came to carpets or rug.
Prior to each mopping session the docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and refills the water tank with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock also provides a deep-cleaning solution for the water. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about a dozen cleaning sessions before it needs to be emptied, though this will vary depending on how much you use the mop.
The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to periodically rinse out the dirty tank to avoid it becoming blocked. Also, you'll need to clean your swivel wheel and sensors regularly to avoid them getting clogged up with dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, particularly compared to other combos which require more effort to maintain.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
Ecovacs all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop provides an effective solution for cleaning. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a number innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive. Rotating mops actually lift the floor and scrub it, rather than simply drag a pad across a surface. The mops are also cleaned and dried at the base station, as required.
The robot comes with an easy-to-use interface that guides you through the process. It includes a hand vacuum that recharges to reach those areas the robot can't reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and refilled whenever required. It has a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a great vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction that is able to effortlessly remove dust and debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation abilities are also pretty good, although it can get stuck on small mats and rugs around my home (which you can reduce by creating virtual boundaries within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good, with a pair spinning mops which lift and scrub the floor instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops are cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station when required. The mops are also replenished at the top of the station if needed.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year however their latest flagship model of robot mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It delivers outstanding cleaning results and is simple to maintain. This makes it a worthy contender for our top list of robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and a larger side brush will ensure an effective, customized cleaning is completed.
The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, picking up large and small particles from both hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest places of our tests with ease while avoiding pet hairs and other mess. The sweeping power is enhanced by a side brush that extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extending mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.
Its navigation is intelligent that can navigate tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a step. It can 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 not as advanced than some competitors however, and tends to leave a large distance over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.
The app's interface is intuitive and well-organized. It should be easy to use for novice and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings. You can also alter suction power, mop settings, and view 3-D and 2D maps. It can be operated through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri which allows you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can even use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get real-time video supervision. You'll require a stable WiFi connection to run the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 Pro
Robot vacuums are excellent at removing dirt and debris, but they're not able to get all dust. It's important to vacuum regularly, once a week. This is especially true for dust that accumulates 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 accomplish this. It's easy to connect it to your WiFI network at home 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, which includes the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it doesn't have mopping capabilities, and also has plastic body.
Even though it's not able to mop floors, the Q5 offers the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot in this price range. It has a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. robot vacuum hoover has a smart app which allows you to schedule cleaning times and determine the floor type. It also has an automatic water tank filling and washing system to allow hands-free operation.
The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dust, dirt and pet hair on carpets and hard floors. 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 clean up kitty litter or cable tangles that's not a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we have tested, it also utilizes a unique system to map your home. This allows it to get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums can't reach. This device also stores dust in a larger dustbin which means you need to empty it less often. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters which further reduces the costs associated with using the device. This robot can detect carpets and increase suction when needed. The app also lets you to mark areas you want to avoid this is a useful feature.
