The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is an excellent option if you're looking to buy a mid-range robot vacuum and mop. It gives a great mopping experience but lacks the advanced features of its more expensive sibling.

During testing it was able to take on dry oats and dust on medium-pile carpet and pet hair on hard floors. However, like cheaper models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to determine the layout of your home.

1. Roomba S9+ from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the most highly-rated robot vacuums. It is a powerful cleaner and numerous features such as the self-emptying dirt container built into its charging base. The robot also learns your cleaning habits and suggest automatic schedules for a truly hands-free experience.

The setup process is simple thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the procedure. Once everything is connected, you can begin the automated cleaning functions with the click of a button. You can choose a general clean which focuses on the elimination of larger pieces of debris like cereal and rice. You can also choose two mappings to ensure that your entire home is cleaned thoroughly.

This robot vac performs well on both floors that are bare and low-pile carpet. It can pick up pet hair and clean big objects up. It doesn't lose its suction as fast as some other robot vacuums. It's a challenge with carpets that are high-pile or plush, but iRobot claims that future models will be more efficient.

The S9+ is a new design by iRobot that focuses on enhancing the edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt an open-fronted, flat-fronted design, which will allow it to hug walls and furniture. It's an improvement over the hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are common however we found it to be only marginally superior to circular models.

iRobot also claims that the S9+ has an advanced filtering system that stops tiny dust particles and allergens from recirculating throughout your home. It's a nice claim, however, we're not convinced that it's enough to justify the high price cost.

Its smart navigation system uses sensors to remember the layout of your home and vSLAM for mapping the interior. This allows it to avoid obstacles, like stairs and other barriers, and to clean up your entire house in the most efficient way possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundary markers to ensure that the robot is aware of which areas need extra attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robot that combines vacuuming and mopping. Its vac settings are as efficient as those found on more expensive models and its mopping feature is even better. Its spinning pads do a more impressive job of cleaning your floors than a stationary vibrating pad.

The only downside is that it does not have an additional rubber brush to allow to provide more thorough cleaning, but it's an affordable price to pay if you want to get one of the best robots on the market. The dust tank of the robo-vac is larger than many of its competitors and filling it takes just two or three cycles even when you have maximum dirt.

As for the mopping device, powerful I was amazed by its ability to scrub off tough dirt from my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest that are less aggressive than the higher-powered ones create little noise, allowing you to work or even watch TV without interruption. It will gently bump into furniture or walls, and move on if it comes across one.

The Q Revo is unique in that it runs almost completely on its own, with no user involvement. The robo-vac comes with a multi-function dock that automatically transfers physical trash to the hidden bin, as well as washes and dry the mop pads, and refills its clean water tank. The app is capable of notifying you when something requires attention, like the clean water tank running low or a scheduled vacuuming session that was cancelled due to a stuffed dust bin.

You can also design and merge rooms to modify how the Q Revo manages your home. This feature is helpful for those who have different flooring in different areas of your house or in the event that you have to regularly clear out clutter such as clothes, toys and books. The robot vacuum was also one of the best performers in my tests cleaning up debris from both carpets as well as hardwood floors with the first attempt. It can also clean up spills that are wet, though I recommend wiping them dry with a damp cloth prior to sending the small robot vacuum into.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd expect from a top-quality robot vacuum and mop and more. Like the iRobot Roomba S9+, it comes with a powerful vacuum that has powerful suction that cleans hard and carpet floors, and a rotating mop that scrubs tough stains. It also comes with a self-cleaning station that automatically washes and powerful cleans the mop pads to keep them fresh and ready for reuse. It also has a new sensor system that better recognizes obstacles, giving it the ability to prevent falling over furniture or other objects.

The biggest improvement over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this version has a sleeker, more modern design, thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for its Bang & Olufsen products). The robot is still quite large. It is more than two feet in both height and depth, and weighs nearly four pounds. However the robot and its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.

This version is also more efficient than the X1 one, because it has a faster charging speed for batteries and can handle a full cleaning of around 1,500 square feet in one charge. And it has a larger, more durable dustbin to hold more debris and is easier to empty when needed.

Additionally, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app and a voice assistant that works offline, allowing you to control it even when you're not at home. It also comes with more mopping options and a smart routing feature that allows you to clean certain rooms or areas of your home instead just following a specific route.

The Omni Omni has the top mopping performance of any robot we've tested thanks to its mop pads that rotate to clean tough stains away and a motor that produces plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is outstanding too and it increases suction when it detects carpets to ensure that it does the job well. It also has a massive battery that can last for several weeks between charges and its mopping mode is as efficient as anything we've seen in the market for a consumer robot.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a premium model that has a range of convenience features not often found on robots in this price range. It has the ability to create detailed floor maps, detect different types of flooring and is one of the few that can automatically wash and dry the mop pads. These features are nice, but they also place the L10s in the class of luxury. This could mean it's more expensive than homeowners need.

It is designed to look like a contemporary floor cleaner designed to look like a modern floor cleaner, the L10s Ultra is a tall and slim device with an elegant white finish enhanced by mirror-plated silver elements. The front of the machine is dominated by a large bumper, which protects the vacuum and furniture from damage while moving through the house. Sensors are hidden behind the front panel, which help the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum there is a single button that serves as an on/off switch. Clicking this will turn on the vacuum, and clicking it again will shut off the vacuum and send it back to its base station. The center of the control panel includes an oblique menu that lets you choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons beneath the screen will open the settings menu of the app where you can alter how the L10s Ultra integrates with your home.

The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination of LIDAR and cameras-based navigation technology to map out your home. This creates a precise floor plan that allows the robot vacuum for pets vacuum and mop efficiently and avoid getting stuck in areas with clutter. The LIDAR also assists the robot vacuum detect and avoid obstacles and obstacles, which is a wonderful feature for families with children or pets.

The L10s Ultra is a powerful vacuum cleaner that removes 98.4 percent of debris from our test on hard floors and taking out all but stubborn juice staining. Its mops also do a great job in removing 98.4 percent of the debris from our carpet, tile and wood tests. It wasn't as effective at removing sand from the hard floor or quaker oats from the carpet.
