The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur, a robot vacuum/mop combo is one of the best self vacuum for pet hair floor cleaning solutions. It can mop and vacuum 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 tested. It can also save your home's maps and set cleaning schedules from its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest model in Ecovacs range of robot vacuum mop hybrids. This wet/dry model is equipped with the latest AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which gives enhanced mapping and vacuum mop obstruction-free operation. It uses dual laser LiDAR that is similar to that used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet across by 270 degrees. This translates to more accurate mapping and faster response times and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with a rotating mopping mat constructed of chenille. This makes it easier to scrub hard-to-clean areas than traditional mopping. During my tests it was able to clean the X2 Omni washed its pad in just over 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 able navigate corners and edges of my rooms and also create "Zambani patterns" across the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dustbin, and wash the mop with hot water prior to beginning another task of cleaning.

The X2 Omni is just as simple to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. It takes just a few minutes to snap the dock into its place, plug it into, and pair with your home Wi-Fi network. You can then launch the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to modify my floor plan within 15 minutes. This included creating restricted areas for mopping and sweeping, reworking the placement of furniture that is mounted on walls and more. The X2 Omni did a great job during my tests, scoring excellent scores in cleaning pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in crevice and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping, check out the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line offered by the company and features the OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than the traditional scrubbers. It comes with YIKO, which is a natural language processing system that is a first of its kind. This allows it to respond to various voice commands. The ECOVACS App allows you to plan your home, make cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between mopping and vacuuming in a single operation. Both modes require that you attach and take off the mop heads according to the need, which is fine for most homes, but isn't a good fit for people with busy lifestyles.

The Deebot T10 is an excellent robot vacuum that delivers impressive results. It was able to remove more than 96% of the dust we threw at it on our hardwood flooring and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It did an excellent job on carpets and tiles cleaning up the majority of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mops comes with large docking systems that allows for automatic cleaning with cool mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag that's easy to replace and hot air drying for fast and simple maintenance. It also has a large water tank that allows more frequent rinses and dries between mopping runs.

The Deebot T10 features an integrated wash tray into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads when it is using them. It doesn't have a tray that can be removed, which means that dust, dirt and other grime will slowly build up in the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first mopping model made by Anker, which is known for its robot vacuums. It comes with enhanced smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, along with twin turbine suction technology that adapts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a great mid-range robotic vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't meet its promise of being a one-stop shop for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a traditional robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular design, sweeping wheels and an elevated space for sensors. Turn it upside down, however there's an electric floor brush as well as a single side sweeper that pushes dirt from the edges of the machine into the main path of the robot's'mouth'. It's a little 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 set up no-mop areas and specific cleaning zones. However it is prone to bump into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always adept in negotiating carpets. It did a good job of picking up pet hair on floors that were not paved however, and during our tests, it took in 89.5 percent of cat litter, which is higher than all but the most powerful robots we've tested.

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

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech vacuum model is able to pick up pet hair, kibble, and other messes with remarkable efficiency. It also maneuvers perfectly around furniture legs. It comes with a set of features that is impressive, including two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station and real-time obstacles avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is operated via the Neato App which schedules cleanings and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is a great option for homes with large spaces that have a mixture of carpet and hard floors. However, it will need some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with electrical cables, toys or other unexpected obstructions.

In our tests of hardwood floors and kibble it performed well and vacuum mop was able to take everything from one grain of rice up to many pieces of dog food in one go. It had some issues with rugs, but generally speaking the vacuum cleaner is ideal for rooms with floors of different types and a mix of pets.

It's a bit expensive, but if you can afford it, it's a great purchase for those who want to be able to leave their homes free to do other tasks or to take care of chores. The A4s Pro also offers a useful auto cleaning mode that automatically boosts suction power to handle tough spills and dirt and comes with an electric ElectroWall which allows you to set boundaries that the robot is not allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly robot from a popular new brand is the cheapest we've ever tested and offers exceptional value for money. Its basic navigation system is based on a very basic random pathing algorithm and it's not able to map rooms. This is why it's less effective as other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and in the corners. Its mopping mode performed very well in our tests by picking up hairs and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as sturdy however it is superior in removing pet hair from all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning low-pile carpet and floor surfaces that are bare. It also utilizes the smart-pathing software for better mobility. It also allows you to send it to a specific room, and its advanced suite of automation features include no-go zones and scheduling. It also allows you to pause and resume cleaning, making it perfect for homes that have pets.

Its self emptying robot vacuum pet hair-cleaning brushroll helps prevent tangles with pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying dock station can hold up to 30 days of dirt before it needs to be empty. It also has a set of angled side brushes that dig deep into corners, and its multi-stage filter system is able to capture dust, dander and allergens to ensure a healthier air.

This robot vacuum feels solid and well-built. It works with a smartphone app that enables you to change the settings of your vacuum and schedule cleaning times in advance. The app lets you check the remaining battery life of the iQ and receive push notifications in the event of any issues during the cleaning session. 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 by using physical boundary markers.

The iQ does a decent job of clearing bare floors and does a decent job with shaggy and low-pile carpet however, it doesn't have the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It's also costly, and its recurring expenses can add up over time.
