If you've got shedding pets, a Roborock S7 Max Ultra: Advanced Robot Vacuum Cleaner vacuum mop combo can keep your home in check between deep cleanings. These machines can get under furniture and into corners to get at messes you can't see.

Jodhaira Rodriguez has tested a myriad of floor-cleaning appliances in the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab that included a wide range of mop and robotic vacuums. She has compiled the top models to deal with pet hair.

1. Battery life

When you are looking for a robot mop and vacuum, you should take into consideration the size of your home and how many pets you have. The larger your home is, the more power the robot cleaner will require. More pets typically result in more hair. It's also important to think about the type of flooring in your home, as certain models are better for cleaning hard floors.

A robotic vacuum and Roborock S7 max ultra: advanced robot vacuum cleaner mop must be able to clean up pet hair from any floor surface - hardwood or tile, as well as carpet. If you have pets, you might want a model that's especially efficient in picking up hair. Most robot cleaners use suction to get rid of dirt and debris, however some models have an additional water feature that can help with sticky spills and stains. The water that these models use can also be used to disinfect floors.

Robotic mop vacuums and mop also have a longer battery life. It's because you are using two functions in one device, which reduces the time it takes to charge and shut down. Some models can even empty themselves into the charging station at the end of each run, drying the pads while doing so. This prevents bacteria from forming on wet pads.

For the most efficient robot vacuum and mop combination that can keep up with pet hair and prints from paws, we recommend the Ecovacs DeebotX2 Omni. This model performed well in our tests. It has a lot of smarts including TrueMapping and TrueDetect 3D technologies to map your home and prevent bumps against furniture or other obstacles. It comes with a base that houses the dirty and clean tanks in one place and makes maintenance simple.

2. App control

Many robot vacuums and mops come with an app which lets you save your house's maps as well as create cleaning schedules, and keep track of maintenance requirements. Some even let you control the robot remotely. There are still models with the power button on the charging dock, base station or even a remote included.

In general, you should look for a model with a clean-up mode that vacuums, mops or does both and doesn't require you to push an on-demand button to shut off. This will allow you to return the robot to its dock to empty its dirt bin or change a wet pad or mop cloth, wash it or fill its water tank. It's also good to see if the model is compatible with your voice assistant, so you can simply use a voice command such as "OK Google" or "OK Alexa" to begin a cleaning cycle or ask for assistance with an issue and much more.

Before deciding on a cleaner for your robot think about how long it will take to maintain the machine and also how much traffic you have on your floors. For instance, if have a small furniture space or a large floor space, you may opt for a robot with a smaller vacuum and mop capacity. You also might need to be aware that certain mopping robots come with recurring expenses because they are expensive to purchase and then you'll require mop pads or replacement cloths, on top of the need to replace filters, side sweeping brushes, rollers and other parts that could be suggested for maintenance on a regular basis. Don't forget to consider the price of the cleaning product itself, as some brands might suggest purchasing an additional cleaning agent to keep your floors looking neat.

3. Carpet recognition

The best robot vacuum and mop combination can differentiate between carpet and hard surfaces, ensuring they don't vacuum or scrub over stains or spills. They can also identify areas that have multiple types of flooring and plan cleaning schedules automatically according to the layout of your home. You'll need to install an additional application on your phone to manage these features, however they're generally quite simple to use.

Some hybrid models don't use any liquid. These robots typically empty into a bag which is stored inside the base. Some robots come with an option that allows you to empty the contents of the robot into the trashcan.

Some robots can be used on wet and dry floors, such as tile or hardwood. The top robot vacuum and mop combination for pet hair are designed to work on both types of floors which makes them a good option if you have a mix of flooring in your home.

When you are choosing a robot mop and vacuum, take into consideration the size of your house and the amount of the amount of foot traffic it receives. If you have pets or children, you'll need a model that has enough power and battery to cope with the daily cleaning of your floors.

The best two-in one robots are equipped with premium features that make them worth the price. For instance the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni will mop and vacuum in one sweep featuring 8,000-Pa suction and Roborock S8 Dual Brush Robot Vacuum Cleaner rotating mop heads. It also scans your furniture and other objects to keep them from getting damaged while cleaning, and can even communicate using two-way sound. It can also take care of itself, and then return to its dock to wash when it is time.

4. Water tank capacity

Robot vacuums clean dirt off the floor and deposit it in a dustbin or bag. Robots spread cleaning solution on the floor and scrub off dirt using pads. Certain models combine the two functions and others have distinct abilities to deal with different types of surfaces. Take note of the type of flooring and foot traffic in your home to ensure that you have the best cleaning.

Most 3-in-1 Smart Robot Vacuum Perfect for Pet Owners vacuums and mop combos need the use of a cleaning formula that differs between brands. Although it is possible to purchase third-party cleaners for these devices, it's best to stick with the brand suggested by the manufacturer. This will protect your machine from damage and keep your robot running as efficiently as possible.

If your robot vacuum and mop uses a dust bin, you'll need to empty it periodically. The majority of them come with an indicator that lets you know when it's time change out the bin. You'll also have to replace filters, rollers and side sweeping brushes from time to the time to ensure optimal performance.

A self-emptying robot could make this process a lot easier, allowing you simply empty the contents of your dust bin into a trash can or recycling bin. Most of these machines don't automatically wash and air dry their mopping pads or cloths which could lead to bacterial growth. If your machine does not come with this feature, take off the pad and wash it following each use. You can also lay it flat to dry between runs if you do not own a machine equipped with this feature.

The iRobot Combo i5+, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 and the Eureka E10S all have this feature. The budget-friendly iLife V5s Pro, on the other hand, focuses on minimalism and eliminates this function.

5. Mop mode

If you're in search of a robot mop and vacuum combo that will clean your floors while you're away the best option is the iRobot Roomba j7. It's not inexpensive, but its AI obstacle-avoidance system is among the top available in the industry. It can clean up Cheerios and spot poop, and even cut through the tangled mess that phone cables often leave on your floor. This makes it a great choice for homes that have pets or children and wish to keep their floors clean.

It's one of the few robots we tested that could mop tile, hardwood, and Linoleum. It did a good job cleaning sticky messes, wet spills, and pet hair off carpets.

The only downside is that it's not a two-in-one robot, and can take up to 6.5 hours to fully charge. The model also requires the manual emptying of the dust bin, unlike other robots that automatically empty into the dust bag at the base station. This can be a hassle in large homes with high ceilings and stairs.

If you're looking for a two-in-one that is more traditional, look into the Ecovacs T10 Plus. It has a powerful suction capability that is able to clean pet hair from carpets, and it also has a self-emptying dustbin. It has scented pods, so you can pick your favorite scent. It has a shorter life battery than the top models that we reviewed and must be recharged frequently.
