Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly capable, acing our tests of cleaning and tackling a variety of floor types. Look for models that allow you to choose from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to self-empty, and clean up stairs.

Many of the top models integrate with your smartphone. Look for an app that allows you to save maps, schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

  1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It uses lidar to navigate and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set schedules and alter the S1's behavior.

When I tried the S1, it was able to map our downstairs, which is home to laminate flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms, along with carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was capable of driving up to walls and even cross raised thresholds without any problems. However it had some issues navigating down the stairs in one pass. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and lifted itself when it was near carpets or carpets.

Prior to each mopping session the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills the water tank onboard with clean filtered ozonated water. The dock adds an extra-deep cleaning solution to the water. The S1 water tank can be able to accommodate 12 cleaning sessions, but this will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires regular maintenance to keep it working well. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to keep it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheels and sensors regularly to keep them from becoming clogged with dirt or dust. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

  1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop provides an effective solution for cleaning. The Ecovacs robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction and comes with many unique features, including full home mapping, voice control, and smart path-planning that eliminates obstacles and cleans around furniture. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mop pads actually lift floors 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 has a simple interface that guides you through the process. It also includes a hand vacuum that can be used to clean those hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are two water tanks that can be automatically filled or empty. It also has a range of useful settings for fine-tuning your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a great vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction that can effortlessly remove dust and debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are good, too, even though it can sometimes get caught up on the tiny carpets or area mats that I have in my home (which is something you can control by creating a virtual border within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good with a pair of spinning mops which are able to lift and scrub floors instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water, and dried in the basestation whenever required. Mops are also refilled from the top of the base station when needed.

  1. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop has even more impressive features. It offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-free maintenance which makes it a strong contender on our top mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush will give you a thorough, customised clean.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It works equally well on hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest areas of our tests well, avoiding pet hairs and other mess. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by a side brush that swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, as well as an extended mop pad that is placed along baseboards.

Its navigation is smart that can navigate narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without missing a step. It can easily move from one room to another without changing direction it is a useful feature for homes with several rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than that of some competitors, and leaves a huge space over obstacles. This can lead to missing spots.

The interface of the app is easy to use and streamlined. It should be simple to use by both novice and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings. You can also adjust suction power, mop setting, and look up 3-D and 2-D maps. You can control it via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even tap into the X40 Ultra's camera remotely for real-time video supervision. You'll require a reliable WiFi connection to run the app and external controls.

  1. Roomba Q5 pro

Robot vacuums are fantastic at picking up dirt and debris, but they can't reach all dust. It's essential to clean your home frequently, every week. This is especially important 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 mops, is designed to do exactly that. It's easy to connect it to your WiFI network at home and it works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, including the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It is equipped with the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's cheaper since it does not have mopping capabilities and has plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to wipe your floors, the Q5 still has some of the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen on a robot in this price range. It's got a powerful suction power of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, which means you don't need to manually empty the bin every time. It also has a clever app that lets you select the type of floor and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive with its 2700Pa power that can take on pet hair and dirt, on both carpets and hard flooring. The Q5 was one of the few robots that we tested did not show problems with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it could not pick up kitty-litter or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising, since it does NOT include AI-powered obstacle-avoidance.

  1. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also features a unique mapping system that allows it to reach tight spaces and Robotvacuummops.Uk corners that other vacuums can't. The device also stores dust in a larger dustbin which means you need to empty it less often. Additionally, it has washable filters, which reduces the expenses associated with using the device. The robot can also recognize carpets and boost the suction if needed. The app also lets you to mark areas that you want it to stay clear of and is a great feature.
