Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

A robot vacuum is the ideal tool for maintaining an orderly home. It can remove pet hair, dust and other debris from the surface before it becomes a larger problem.

Some robots are able to sync with smart assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant to provide a environment that is hands-free. Look for models that are rechargeable and continue cleaning the area they left.

1. iRobot s8

This smart robot mop and vacuum combo is a fantastic option for a wide range of households. It vacuums and mops well, has excellent navigation with both GPS and laser sensors and offers a broad range of features and controls that are available via the app. It also comes with a helpful feature that allows you to add Cleaning zones for certain areas that require extra attention, as well as Keep Out zones that you don't want it to move. It also receives software updates, similar to the other Roomba products, that make it better over time.

It's expensive but is also among the most sophisticated robot vacuums ZDNet has ever tested. It has a powerful battery that can vacuum the entire house in less than two hours. It also switches between mopping and vacuuming with the touch of one button. And, unlike other self-emptying robots that require you to empty the bin after each run, it automatically empties into an even larger waste container on top of its charging dock.

It comes with a variety of other features that make it an excellent option for most homes with its intelligent obstacle avoidance that uses the camera as well as processor-powered intelligents to identify obstacles. It's not often tripped or stuck during a cleaning process. In my tests it was the best at avoiding objects such as power cables. However, it's not as effective in detecting pet waste or other hazards.

2. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid

Eufy owned by Anker is now an established brand in the world of low-cost robot Vacuum & mop vacuums. But it didn't offer an option to mop. That's changed with the X8 Hybrid, which has an impressive suite of advanced features that can compete with more expensive models.

Eufy's main selling point with this machine is its laser navigation. Previous Eufy devices have constructed a rough map of your home using infrared sensors and bumping into objects however the X8's laser mapping system is more precise. It also takes significantly less time to construct an accurate picture of your home and can store multiple maps, which is ideal for homes with multiple floors.

The X8 is still a decent vacuum on floors with no dust that can carry debris under its side brushes and into the 400ml dust bin with ease. The Tyres of the X8, despite their circular shape, are efficient at grabbing corners and edges. Our tests revealed that it was able to remove 90 percent of the fur from hard floors.

The basic mopping mode uses the same water reservoir as the vacuuming mode. This is great for spills that aren't serious, but you can't regulate the amount of water it consumes. It does, however, do an admirable job of removing pet hair, with a better speed of pickup than the Roborock S7.

3. Miele RX2

Miele's RX2 robotic vacuum is known for its quiet, efficient appliances. It features a stunning design, superb navigation and a powerful cleaning power. However, it does have a few operational oddities that prevent it from being ranked as the top rated robot vacuum overall smart robot vacuum.

Like iRobot's latest models like the RX2 has dual-sensor mapping technology that utilizes a LIDAR sensor to map out the space and three 3D scanning cameras to detect and avoid obstacles (like furniture legs or pet waste) in real-time. Once the room is mapped the app allows you to assign virtual no-go areas and areas that you want to clean. will clean automatically. You can also change the cleaning modes, start a manual clean, or view a live feed of the cameras onboard from the main screen.

The RX2 has superior sensors that detect furniture and other obstructions immediately. The suction and sweeping capabilities are outstanding, effectively removing surface litter from medium pile carpeting and also removing dust that has been deposited on floors. It's not the most powerful robot available. Like many other robots it's not a very good climber and is prone to problems with things like thresholds made of steel transition strips.

Many people purchase robot vacuums due to the ease of setting up a schedule using an app, only to forget about them for weeks. But it's important that a robot is able to get the job done, which is the reason why our ZDNet staff examined and reviewed a few of the most popular ones to help you select the perfect one for your home.

4. shark iq robot vacuum and mop ION

This budget robovac looks just like your typical robot but it's a step up in performance and features. Its smart mapping system generates 2D and 3D maps of your home and uses those to navigate around obstacles and avoid them. It can even identify common obstacles such as furniture legs and power cords in real-time. This combination of sensors with a bump detector, and an infrared sensor to keep the vacuum away from stairs makes it one of our most flexible vacuums.

In our tests, it effortlessly could climb over the thick shag rugs and didn't get stuck on them (like the RoboVac 11s or Roomba 690). Its navigation abilities were also impressive; its composite score in carpet and bare floors beat out the competition and it was able to pick up 98.5 percent of surface pet hair and litter from our laboratory test samples.

The controls are more basic than the competition's. There is a cleaning button on the top and Robot Vacuum & Mop you can either start it with the app or by voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also set up a schedule for weekly or daily cleans, set areas that are not allowed to be cleaned, and check its cleaning history. Ion is covered in a smart dark gray plastic that feels and looks attractive in your home. Its rear dust bin is easy to access for emptying and cleaning the filter is just as simple.

5. Eufy 11S

Eufy 11S is an excellent choice if you want an automated vacuum cleaner that is simple and simple at a reasonable price. It's not equipped with some advanced features like Alexa integration and digital mapping found in higher-end models. If you don't need these features, you can save money.

The robot is easy to setup and use. It does not require a smartphone application or Wi-Fi pairing. However, it does come with an remote control that lets you choose between different modes and adjust suction level. It also lets you manually send the robovac off for scheduled cleaning.

During our tests during our tests, the 11S was extremely effective in removing dirt and pet hair from hard floors and carpets with low pile. Its slim profile allowed it to fit under furniture with low hanging and other items that larger robots are unable to reach. It was also able to easily traverse door thresholds and transition from one floor type to another.

The 11S, like other robots, can also eat certain objects, like cords and cat toys. The manufacturer suggests that you avoid this by keeping these objects off the ground and using a cord organizer whenever possible. It also recommends that you regularly clean the dustbin, replace the filters, and change or wash the brushes as necessary.

Roomba 990 by iRobot

The Roomba is iRobot’s flagship robot vacuum. It's expensive but it's an excellent performer and arguably the most advanced robot vacuum available. Its self-navigation and environmental mapping is something to behold. It also comes with more advanced automation features than many competitors, including the ability to set virtual boundary markers with its mobile app. It's a capable robot vacuum, even if its app isn't the most responsive and the 980 spins when it is pushed over cables.

One thing we love about the 980 is that it makes use of its iAdapt 2.0 navigation sensors and visual simultaneous localisation and mapping technology (or vSLAM) to store the floor plan of your home. It will use this information to create a consistent, efficient cleaning path through each cycle. The result is cleaner floors and a more efficient vacuum than many high-end robotics.

The 980's other features include dual multi-surface rubber brushes, which grab dirt from carpet and hard floors and a spinning brush that sweeps debris into the bin of the robotic vacuum. The floor tracking sensor assists it in maneuvering between furniture, along edges and on stairs. Cliff Detect prevents the Roomba from falling. It also automatically returns to its base station to ensure hassle-free charging between sessions. Although the 980's battery lifespan and bin size isn't as impressive as some other robot vacuums, it's a reliable and solid machine that will keep your floors spotless for hours at a time.
