It includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which gives enhanced mapping and obstruction-free operation. The system uses dual-laser LiDAR similar to the kind you'd find in self-driving cars -- and can scan an area of up to 32 feet wide by 270 degrees. That translates into more precise mapping, quicker response times, as well as better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with an alternating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it much easier to scrub hard-to-clean spots than conventional mopping. During my tests it was able to clean the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and then got to work. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models that seemed to follow a grid around rooms. It was adept at navigating my rooms with its corners and edges as well as create a "Zambani pattern" that ran up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dustbin and wash the mop with hot water before beginning another cleaning task.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is simple to set up and start using. It takes only a few minutes to snap the dock into its place, plug it into and connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Then, you're able to launch the app and get started with your first cleaning task. I was able customize my floor plan in about 15 minutes.

If you're looking for a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping, check out the ECOVACS Deebot T10 Omni.

Turn it upside down, however you'll see an electric floor brush as well as a single side sweeper brush that carries dirt from the edges into the main pathway of the robot's mouth. It's a little smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under couches and chairs.

Its mapping system allows you to define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However, it has a tendency to get into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always adept at climbing over carpets. It was good at collecting pet hair off carpets.

The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning feature that increases suction to tackle the most difficult spills or dirt. It also has a battery-powered ElectroWall to establish boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly robot from a popular new brand is the most affordable we've ever tested, and provides incredible value for money. Its basic navigation system uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm, but it doesn't have room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time Efficient Shark AI Robot Vacuum with Smart Mapping than the other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and in the corners. Its mopping mode performed well in our tests by picking up hairs and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as sturdy as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at getting rid of pet hair on all surfaces. It does a better job of cleaning carpets with low piles and floors that are not covered. It also makes use of the smart-pathing software for better maneuverability. It also allows you to assign it to a specific room, and its sophisticated suite of automation features include no-go zones and scheduling.

The robot vacuum is built well and feels solid. It works with an app on your smartphone which lets you alter the vacuum's settings and schedule cleaning times ahead of time. The app also lets you view the remaining battery life of the iQ and send notifications via push for any issues it encounters during its cleaning process. You can utilize Upgrade Your Cleaning Game with Roborock Q7 voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device or, if you do not have either of these devices, you can mark zones with physical boundary strips.

The iQ is good at cleaning bare floors and does a decent job on shaggy and low-pile carpets. However it doesn't provide the same level autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly and its recurring cost can be quite costly.
