For pets with shedding fur A robot vacuum/mop combination is among the best vacuum mop for pet hair floor cleaning solutions. It can vacuum and mop and can even dry and clean its own mop pads.

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

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest in Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet/dry model includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which offers improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. It uses dual laser LiDAR that is similar to that used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan an area that is up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. That translates into more precise mapping, faster response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also features a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard areas than traditional mops. In my tests the X2 Omni washed its pad in just a few seconds and then got to work. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was adept at navigating my rooms' corners and edges, as well as make a "Zambani pattern" across the center of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station on a regular basis to empty the dust bin and clean the mop with hot water prior to beginning another clean-up job.

Like other Ecovacs products The X2 Omni is simple to set up and start using. Place the dock in its place connect it to the power outlet and connect it to your home WiFi network. It only takes some minutes. You can then launch the app to start your first cleaning project. I was able to customize my floor plan within 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping as well as rearranging the positioning of furniture on the wall, and more. The X2 Omni impressed me during my tests. It scored highly in the areas of pet hair removal as well as debris removal, and had near-perfect results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you're looking for a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping look into the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line from the brand and features the new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system, which utilizes a dual-spinning brush for superior cleaning than traditional scrubbers. It comes with YIKO, which is a natural language processing system that is a first of its kind. It can respond to a variety of voice commands. You can make use of the ECOVACS app to map your home, establish cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum depending on your requirements. This is great for most households, but not for those who lead busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is an excellent robot vacuum that produces impressive results. It vacuumed up more than 96% of the particles we tossed at it on our hardwood floors and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It also did an excellent job on tile and carpet and tile, getting rid of more than 99% of dirt and debris.

This robotic mop and vacuum has large docking stations that provides cool water auto-cleaning for its mop pads, and auto-emptying into a 3L disposable bag that's simple to replace, and hot air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that allows for more frequent rinses and dries between mopping runs.

Like other mopping machines, the Deebot T10 Omni features a wash tray in its base that rinses and robot vacuum mops dries the mop pads when it uses them. But it doesn't use an open tray, meaning that dirty water dust, dirt and other grime slowly accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

This is the first mopping model made by Anker, which is known for its robot vacuums. It is equipped with enhanced intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts to the surface you are cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't meet its promise to be a one-stop shop for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a traditional robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular shape with sweeping wheels, as well as an elevated space for sensors. On the other hand there's a motorized floorbrush as well as a single side brush that pushes dust from the edges into the main path of its' mouth.' It's a bit smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under chairs and couches.

The mapping system is quite sophisticated that allows you to create no-mop zones, as well as specific cleaning zones. However, it has a tendency to hit things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always adept in negotiating rugs. It was great at picking up pet hair from the floor. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5 percent of kitty litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has physical buttons on its base. These buttons let you select a cleaning mode or turn the robot off/on. Additionally, you can use these to set no-go zones as well as see maps in real-time. It's a little chatty, too, and will tell you what it's going to do next ("start cleaning") or warn you that something's wrong (it doesn't have enough power to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This advanced model collects pet hair, kibble and other particles with top-quality performance and is able to effortlessly maneuver around furniture legs. It also has an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes and a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled via the Neato App, where cleanings are scheduled and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is a great option for homes that have a mixture of hard and carpet flooring. However it will require some planning ahead to avoid getting caught by power cables, toys, or other unexpected obstructions.

This robot was very successful during our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything, from a single rice grain to a variety of dog food pieces with only one sweep. It had a bit of difficulty transitioning to carpets, however, this vacuum cleaner is perfect for large rooms with both types of flooring and a variety of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive, but it's a great purchase for those who want to be able to leave the house with no hands on so they can take on other tasks or do chores. The A4s Pro also offers a handy auto cleaning mode that automatically boosts suction power to handle tough spills and dirt and includes a battery-powered ElectroWall that lets you define boundaries where the robot is not allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly model from a well-known new brand is the most affordable we've ever tested and offers exceptional value for money. The basic navigation system is based on a very basic random pathing algorithm, and it's not able to map rooms. This renders it less efficient than the other models on this list. It's still able get under furniture and into the corners. Mopping mode was very effective in our tests and picked up hairs that were straying and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not appear as durable however, it's better at cleaning pet hair from all surfaces. It gets rid of floors with less efficiently and does a decent job on carpets with low pile and also uses smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It can be sent to a specific location, and includes a variety of advanced automation options, including no-go zones and schedules. It even lets you to pause and resume the cleaning process which is ideal for households with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll helps prevent tangles with pet hair and other debris, and its bagless self-emptying dock station can store up to 30 days worth of dirt before it needs to be cleaned. It comes with of angled side brushes that can reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system to capture dust, allergens and dander.

This vacuum feels solid and well-built. It works with a smartphone app that lets you change the settings for your vacuum and plan cleaning times in advance. The app also lets you view the iQ's remaining battery life and also receive push notifications about any issues it encounters during a cleaning process. You can control it with your voice using an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices you can mark out areas with physical boundary markers strips.

The iQ is great at cleaning bare floors and does an adequate job with carpets with low pile and robot vacuum mops shaggy edges. However it's not able to provide the same level of autonomy as our top picks. It's also expensive, and its recurring costs can become expensive over time.
