The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is an excellent option if you're looking for a robotic hoovers (continue reading this..) mop and robotic Hoovers vacuum that's priced in the middle. It gives a great mopping experience, but doesn't have the advanced features of its more expensive sibling.

During tests it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats from carpets with a medium pile. It does not use LIDAR however, as cheaper models do, to locate your home.

iRobot Roomba s9+

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the most highly-rated robot vacuums. It comes with a variety of features and impressive cleaning power, including an area for dirt that is integrated into the charging base. This robot can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automatic schedules for a truly hands-free experience.

The iRobot Home App guides you through the setup process. Once the system is in place, you can start cleaning automatically with just one button press. You can choose a general clean, which prioritizes the removal of larger pieces of debris like rice and cereal. Or you can opt for two thorough mappings to ensure that your entire home is completely cleaned.

This vacuum works well on floors that are unfinished and carpets with a low pile. It sucks up large items and doesn't lose suction as quickly as some other models and can pick up pet hair without difficulty. It's a challenge with carpets that are high-pile or plush however, iRobot says that future models will be more efficient.

The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that concentrates on improving edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted D-shaped design, which it hopes will allow it to fit into furniture and walls. It's a nice improvement over the traditional hockey puck shape of most robovacs, though we discovered it to be only incrementally better than circular models.

iRobot also claims the S9+ has an improved filter system that prevents tiny dust particles and allergens from recirculating throughout your home. It's a nice claim, however, we're not convinced that it's enough to justify the price price.

Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to keep track of the structure of your home, and vSLAM to map the interior. This allows it to avoid obstacles, such as stairs and other barriers and also to clean your entire home in the most efficient way possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule self cleaning vacuum times and also set virtual boundaries to ensure that the robot is aware of what areas require extra attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robot mop vacuum combo that combines vacuuming and mopping. Its vacuum settings are as efficient as those found on more expensive models, and its mopping system is even better. Its spinning pads do a much more impressive job of scrubbing your floors than a stationary vibration pad.

It's only downside is the lack of a second brush to allow for more thorough cleaning. But that's not a major issue if you want to own one of the best robots available. The dust tank of the robo-vac is bigger than most of its competitors. Filling it takes just two or three cycles even when you have maximum dirt.

As for the mopping device, I was amazed with its ability to scrub hard-to-clean dirt from my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest that are less aggressive than the high-powered ones, generate little noise, allowing you to work or even watch television without interruption. If it comes into contact with an object, such as a wall or furniture piece it gently smacks into it and then moves forward.

The Q Revo is unique in that it operates almost entirely on its own, requiring only minimal user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac can be multi-functional and will automatically move trash into a hidden bin. It also washes and dries the clean water tank. The app will only notify you when something is wrong like a low clean water tank or a canceled vacuuming session due to an empty bin.

You can also create and combine rooms to modify how the Q Revo treats your abode. This feature is useful if you have different flooring in different areas of your house or if you need to regularly remove clutter, robotic Hoovers such as clothes, toys, and books. The robot vacuum is also efficient and was among the top performers during my tests, picking up debris from carpets as well as hardwoods on the first pass. It can even remove wet spills but I would suggest wiping them dry with a damp cloth prior to sending the robot into.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd want from a premium robot vacuum and mop and more. Similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+, it is a top-quality vacuum with powerful suction that cleans carpet and hard floors, and an omni-rotating mop that scrubs tough staining. It also has an auto-cleaning base station that automatically empties and washes the mop pads, keeping them germ-free and ready for use again. It also has a sensor system that recognizes obstacles better and prevents it from falling onto furniture and other objects.

The most significant improvement over the ECOVACS The X1 Deebot is the sleeker, modern design. This is due to Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. Although it's still quite large--it's more than two feet high and deep and weighs almost four pounds--the entire robot and its base are much less bulky than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.

This model is also more efficient than the X1, as it has a faster charging speed for batteries and can complete a cleaning of about 1,500 square feet on one charge. Additionally, it comes with a larger dustbin that is more durable to hold more debris, making it easier to empty when needed.

Finally, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app and voice assistant that operates offline, so you can use it even if you're away from home. It also comes with a smart routing function that lets it clean specific rooms or areas of your home instead of following a set path.

The X2 Omni is the best mopping robot. Its rotating mop pads remove tough stains and its motor creates a lot of downward pressure. The vacuuming capabilities are also outstanding, and it also increases suction when it senses carpets to ensure thorough cleaning. It also has a large battery that can last for several weeks between charges and its mopping mode is as effective as any we've seen in an ordinary robot.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot mop and vacuum is a high-end model that comes with a variety of features that aren't often found on robots in this price range. It can create detailed floor maps and identify various flooring types. It's also one of the only robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These features are nice, but they also make the L10s more of a luxury category. This might make it more expensive than what homeowners would need.

The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaning machine. It's slim and tall, with a white finish, accentuated by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by a huge bumper that helps protect furniture and vacuum cleaners from damage while moving around the house. Sensors are concealed behind the front panel, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top, you'll find a single button that essentially serves as the on/off switch. This button will turn on the vacuum. Clicking it again will shut it off and send it back to its base station. The central control panel is the circular menu which lets you choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons open the app's settings where you can alter the way the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.

The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination of LIDAR and cameras-based navigation technology to map out your home. This creates a detailed floor plan that helps the robot vacuum and mop effectively, without getting stuck in cluttered areas. The LIDAR assists the robot vacuum to avoid obstacles and recognize them and avoid them, which is a great feature for homes with pets or small children.

The L10s Ultra is a powerful vacuum cleaner, removing 98.4 percent of the debris we test on hard floors, and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice staining. The mops are also efficient, taking away 98.4 percent of debris from our wood, tile, and carpet tests. However, it wasn't as great at tackling sand on the floor or the quaker oats that are on carpet.
