The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur, a robot vacuum/mop combo is one of the best floor cleaning solutions. It can mop and vacuum, and can even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we have tested, at 8,800Pa. It can also save your home's maps and schedule cleaning schedules using its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet-dry model is equipped with Ecovacs' new AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to the one used in self emptying robot vacuum for pet hair-driving vehicles. It can scan up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This results in more precise mapping, quicker response times, and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also features a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille fabric, which makes it easier to scrub hard spots as opposed to traditional mopping. During my testing the X2 Omni took just over one minute to wash its pad before getting to work, and I noticed that it was more precise than the previous models, which seemed to follow a grid path around rooms. It was adept at navigating my rooms with its corners and edges as well as make a "Zambani pattern" that ran up and down the center of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station on a regular basis to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water prior to beginning another task of cleaning.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is easy to set up and start using. Place the dock in its place, plug it in and connect it to your home WiFi network. It takes only some minutes. You can then launch the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to dive into the settings and personalize my floor plan in about 15 minutes, including creating zones that are restricted to sweep and mop as well as reworking my wall-mounted furniture layouts, and much more. The X2 Omni was impressive in my tests. It scored high in the areas of pet hair removal as well as debris removal, and also had near-perfect results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you're looking for a strong combination of vacuuming and mopping then check out the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line from the company and comes with the brand new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that uses dual-spinning brush for better cleaning than the traditional scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a first-of-its-kind natural language processing technology that allows it to respond to a wide range of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, establish cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single operation. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach and remove mop heads according to your needs. This is fine for the majority of households, but not so for those who lead busy lives.

The Deebot T10 Omni is a superb robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests for robot vacuum mops pet hair. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the debris we tossed at it on our hardwood flooring, which is an outstanding performance. It was a success on carpets and tiles and removed the majority of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mops comes with a large docking system that allows for automatic cleaning using cool water for the mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag that is easy to replace, and hot air drying for fast and easy maintenance. It also has a large tank of water that allows it to be washed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Like other mopping machines like the Deebot T10 Omni, it features a wash tray in its base that rinses and dry its mop pads as it utilizes them. However, it doesn't come with a removable tray, which means dirty water, dust and other grime slowly accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first model of mopping from Anker that is renowned for its robot vacuums. It is equipped with enhanced intelligence, multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts to the floor you're 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 standard robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular design with sweeping wheels and an elevated space for sensors. On the other hand you'll find a motorized floorbrush and one side brush that moves dust away from the edges and into the main artery of its' mouth.' It's a bit smaller than the main brushes on the rival iRobot Roomba S9, which I found to be easier to access under sofas and chairs.

Its mapping system lets you set up no-mop areas and specific cleaning zones. It is prone to hitting objects such as its charging station, and isn't very good at climbing over carpets. It did a great job of picking up pet hair on bare floors However, during our tests, it took in 89.5 percent of litter, which puts it ahead of any of the most powerful robots we've tested.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has physical buttons located at the base of the. These buttons allow you to select a cleaning mode or turn the robot off/on. You can also use them to set no-go zones as well as see maps in real-time. It's a bit chatty, as well, and will inform you of what it plans to do next ("start cleaning") or even warn you that something is wrong (it does not have enough power to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This advanced model collects pet hair, kibble and other particles with top-quality efficiency and maneuvers flawlessly around furniture legs. It has a feature set that is impressive, such as two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacles avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best controlled using the Neato app where cleaning can be scheduled and overall maintenance needs monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes that have a mix of hard and carpet floors. However it will require some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with electrical cables, toys or other unexpected obstructions.

This robot was very successful during our tests on hardwood floors and food particles. It was able to pick up everything, from one rice grain to multiple dog food pieces with only one swipe. It had a bit of trouble transitioning to rugs, however, this vacuum cleaner is ideal for rooms that have both types of flooring and a mix of pets.

The A4s Pro is expensive, but it's a great option for those who wish to to leave the house hands-free so they can take on other tasks or perform household chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that increases suction to take on difficult dirt or spills. It also has a battery-powered ElectroWall to establish boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly robot from a renowned new brand is the cheapest we've tested and provides incredible value for the money. Its navigation system is basic and uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm, but it doesn't have room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time efficient than other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and in 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 isn't quite as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at getting rid of pet hair on all surfaces. It clears bare floors more efficiently and does a decent job on carpets with a low pile and utilizes smart-pathing navigational technology to provide greater maneuverability. It also allows you to transfer it to a particular room, and its advanced set of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It lets you stop and restart cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes with pets.

Its self cleaning brushroll prevents tangles and can carry up to 30 days of dirt. It has a set angled side brushes to reach into corners, as well as a multi-stage filter system that captures dust, allergens, and dander.

This robot vacuum feels solid and well-built, and it comes with an app for smartphones that lets you change the settings for your vacuum and plan cleaning sessions in advance. The app lets you see the remaining battery life of the iQ and receive push notifications if it encounters any issues during a cleaning session. You can also control it using your voice using an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices, you can mark areas by using physical boundary markers.

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 selections. It's also costly and its monthly costs can be quite costly.
