The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop combo is the ideal option for pets that shed fur. This machine can mop, vacuum and clean its own mop pad with dual mop pads.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we've examined, with 8,000Pa. It can also save maps of your home and create cleaning schedules through its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuums and mops. This model that is dry and wet includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which offers enhanced mapping and obstruction-free operation. It uses dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to the one used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This means more precise mapping and faster response times and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with an alternating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it much easier to scrub hard areas than traditional mops. In my testing, the X2 Omni took just over an hour to clean its pad before getting to work. I also noticed that it was more precise than other models that seemed to follow a gridded path around rooms. It was able to navigate my rooms with its corners and edges as well as make a "Zambani pattern" up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station on a regular basis to empty the dust bin and wash the mop with hot water, before starting 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 pair it with your home WiFi network. It takes only a few minutes. You can then launch the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to dive into the settings and modify my floor plan within about 15 minutes, including creating zones that are restricted for sweeping and mopping and reworking my furniture placements, and more. The X2 Omni impressed me during my tests. It scored well in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal. It also achieved near-perfect results in crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The EcoVACS T10 Omni is an extremely powerful mopping and vacuum cleaner. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line from the brand and features the brand new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system, which uses dual-spinning brush for better cleaning than conventional scrubbing. It comes with YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is the first of its kind. It can respond to various voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, establish cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The biggest issue with the T10 Omni is that it cannot switch between vacuuming and mopping in one run. Both modes require that you attach and take off the mop heads according to the need and is suitable for most homes, but not suitable for people with busy lifestyles.

However, the Deebot Omni is a fantastic robot vacuum that delivers outstanding results in our tests on pet hair. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the dust we tossed at it on our hardwood flooring and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It also did a fantastic job with tile and carpet, removing over 99% of dirt and dust.

This robot vacuum and mop has a large docking system that lets you clean the mop pads automatically using cool mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag that is easy to replace and hot air drying for quick and simple maintenance. It also has a large tank of water that allows it to be rinsed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Deebot T10 has a wash tray that is built into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to rinse and dry its mop pads while using them. It does not have a removable tray, so dust, dirt 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 has upgraded intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts for the floor you're cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner however it doesn't quite deliver on its promise to be the ultimate source for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a traditional robotic vacuum cleaner from the top, with its circular shape with sweeping wheels and an elevated space for sensors. On the other hand you'll find a motorized floorbrush as well as one side brush that moves dust away from the edges and into the main artery of its' mouth.' It's smaller than the main brushes on the rival iRobot Roomba S9, which I discovered makes it easier to access under couches and chairs.

Its mapping system lets you define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However it tends to get into things (including its charging dock) and isn't the best robot vacuum for thick carpet and pet hair at climbing over rug. It did a good job of picking up pet hair on bare floors However, in our tests it picked up 89.5 percent of litter - a figure that is higher than any of the most powerful robots we've examined.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has physical buttons on its base. These buttons let you select a cleaning mode or turn the robot on/off. Additionally, you can use these to set no-go zones as well as see maps in real-time. It's also a bit chatty, and will let you know what it's planning to do next (start cleaning) or alert you when something isn't right.

4. ILIFE A4s

This advanced model collects pet hair, kibble and other messes with remarkable efficiency and maneuvers flawlessly around furniture legs. It also comes with an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes and a self-emptying dock and a real-time obstacle-avoiding technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled via the Neato App, where cleanings are scheduled and maintenance requirements are tracked. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for large homes with a mix of hard floors and carpet, but it requires some planning ahead to avoid getting stuck on toys, power cords or other unexpected obstacles.

The robot performed well in our tests of hardwood floors and food particles. It ate everything from a single rice grain to multiple pet food pieces in only one sweep. It had some trouble with rugs but, generally this vacuum cleaner is perfect for large rooms that have floors of different types as well as a mix of pets.

It's a bit expensive however, if you are able to afford it, it's an excellent buy for those who wish to leave their home hands-free to go about other tasks or complete chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that boosts suction to take on the most difficult spills or dirt. It also has a battery-powered ElectroWall to define the boundaries of the robot.

This budget-friendly robot from a renowned brand is the cheapest we've ever tested, and provides incredible value for money. Its navigation system is based on a very basic random pathing algorithm and good it's not able to map rooms. This renders it less efficient than the other models on this list. However it's still able to get under furniture and into corners, and its mopping mode performed well during our tests, picking up stray pet hair and other debris effortlessly.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't quite as sturdy as the Roomba S9, but it does a better job overall in cleaning up pet hair on all surfaces. It clears bare floors more thoroughly and does a good job on low-pile carpet, and it uses smart-pathing navigational technology for better maneuverability. It can be positioned to a specific location, and has a suite of advanced automation options, including no-go zones and schedules. It also lets you stop and restart the cleaning process and is perfect for homes with pets.

The self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent the tangles caused by pet hair and other debris, and its bagless self-emptying dock station can hold up to 30 days of dirt before needing to be cleaned. It comes with of angled side brushes that can reach into corners, as well as a multi-stage filter system to capture dust, allergens, and dander.

This vacuum feels solid and well-constructed, and it has a smartphone app that enables you to change its vacuum settings and schedule cleaning times in advance. The app allows you to view the remaining battery life of the iQ, and send push notifications when it encounters any problems during a cleaning session. You can also control it using your voice with an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices you can mark the boundaries of your area by using physical boundary markers.

The iQ does a good job of removing bare floors and does a decent job on low-pile and shaggy carpet, but it doesn't have the same degree of autonomy as our top picks. It's also expensive and its ongoing costs can become expensive over time.
