The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop combination is the best solution for pets that shed fur. This machine can mop and vacuum, and even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

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

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet-dry model is equipped with Ecovacs' upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that provides improved mapping and obstacles avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to that used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This translates to more precise mapping, faster response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also features an adjustable mopping pad made of chenille fabric, which makes it easier to scrub tough areas more effectively unlike traditional mopping. In my tests the X2 Omni took just over an hour to wash its pad before getting to work, and I noticed that it was much more accurate than the previous models, which seemed to follow a gridded path around rooms. It was able to navigate around corners and edges of my rooms, and also make "Zambani patterns" both in and out of the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station on a regular basis to empty the dustbin, and clean the mop using hot water prior to beginning another task of cleaning.

Like other Ecovacs products The X2 Omni is simple to set up and start using. Snap the dock into position, plug it in and pair it with your home WiFi network. It takes only a few minutes. After that, you can launch the app and begin with your first cleaning project. I was able dive into the settings and customize my floor plan in less than 15 minutes, which included creating restricted areas for mopping and sweeping, reworking my wall-mounted furniture placements, and more. The X2 Omni performed impressively during my tests, scoring excellent scores in the removal of pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as near-perfect results in crevice and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The ECOVACS T10 Omni is a powerful mopping and vacuum cleaner. It is the most advanced model of the T-line of the brand and comes with the brand's new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide more effective cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also has YIKO, an artificial language processing technology that is a first of its kind. It can respond to various voice commands. You can make use of the ECOVACS app to map your home, create cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The main drawback of the T10 Omni is that it's not able to switch from mopping to vacuuming in one run. Both modes require that you attach and remove mop heads as needed, which is fine for most homes, but not suitable for people who have a busy schedule.

The Deebot T10 Omni is an excellent robot vacuum that has impressive results in our pet hair tests. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the debris we threw at it on our hardwood flooring and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It also did an excellent job with tile and carpet, removing over 99% of dirt and robot vacuum mops other debris.

This robotic mop and vacuum has large docking stations that provides cool water cleaning for its mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L bag that is easy to replace, and hot-air drying for quick and simple maintenance. It also comes with a large tank of water that allows it to be rinsed and dried more often between mopping sessions.

Deebot T10 has an integrated wash tray into its base, similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads when it is using them. It doesn't have a removable tray so dirt, dust and other grime can slowly build up in the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first mopping model made by Anker which is well-known for its robot vacuums. It offers improved smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, as well as twin-turbine suction technology that automatically adjusts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner however it doesn't exactly live up to its promise to be an all-in-one solution for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, sweeper wheels and a raised sensor area. However, flip it over there's a motorised floor brush plus a single side sweeper brush which pushes dirt from the edges of the machine into the main path of the robot's 'mouth'. It's smaller than the main brushes on the rival iRobot Roomba S9, which I discovered makes it easier to fit under chairs and sofas.

Its mapping system allows you to define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However it tends to get into things (including its charging dock) and isn't always great in climbing over rugs. It was great at collecting pet hair off bare floors. In our tests it picked up 89.5% kitty litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has a set of physical buttons on its base. These buttons let you select the cleaning mode, or turn the Bagotte Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop and Navigation off/on. These buttons can be used to establish no-go areas and view real-time maps. It's a little chatty, as well, and will let you know what it's planning to do next ("start cleaning") or alert you that something's not right (it does not have enough power to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This model is high-tech and sucks up pet hair, kibble, and other messes with remarkable effectiveness and effortlessly moves around furniture legs. It comes with a set of features that is impressive, such as two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best controlled using the Neato app which allows cleaning to be scheduled and overall maintenance needs monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a a mix of hard floors and carpet, but it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck by electrical cords, toys, or other unexpected obstacles.

This robot was very successful in our tests of hardwood floors and kibble. It was able to pick up everything, from a single rice grain to a variety of pet food pieces in only one swipe. It had some issues with rugs but, generally speaking the vacuum cleaner is great for rooms with floors of different types as well as a mixture of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive, but it's a great purchase for those who want to to leave the house hands-free so they can get out and do other things or take care chores. The A4s Pro also offers a convenient auto cleaning mode that automatically increases suction power to deal with tough dirt and spills, and includes a battery-powered ElectroWall that allows you to define boundaries where the robot isn't permitted to be allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly choice from a well-known upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've tested to date and offers an outstanding value for money. Its navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm and it lacks the ability to map rooms. This is why it's less effective than other models in this list. It's still able to get under furniture and in the corners. Mopping mode performed very well in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ might not be as well-built, but it is better at cleaning pet hair from all surfaces. It cleans floors that are bare more efficiently and does a decent job on carpets with a low pile and makes use of smart-pathing navigational technology for superior maneuverability. It can be positioned to a specific location, and comes with a range of advanced automation features including no-go zones and schedules. It allows you to stop and resume cleaning making it ideal for homes with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll helps prevent knots from pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying bagless docking station can hold up to 30 days of dirt before it needs to be cleaned. It has a set angled side brushes to reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system to capture dust, dander and allergens.

The robot vacuum is built well and feels solid. It has a smartphone application that lets you change the vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions in advance. The app lets you see the remaining battery life of the iQ, and send push notifications in the event of any problems during a cleaning session. You can utilize your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device or, if you don't have either options, you can mark areas with physical boundary strips.

The iQ can do a decent job of clearing bare flooring and doing a good job with shaggy and low-pile carpet however it lacks the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It's also expensive and its ongoing costs can become expensive over time.
