The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur, a robot vacuum/mop combo is among the best vacuum mop combo for pet hair floor cleaning solutions. It can mop and vacuum, and even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has the highest suction power of any robot we have examined, with 8,000Pa. It also allows you to create cleaning schedules and save maps of your house through its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest model in Ecovacs range of hybrid Robot Vacuum Mop Pet Hair vacuum-mop robots. This wet/dry model includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system from Ecovacs, which provides enhanced mapping and obstruction-free operation. It uses dual laser LiDAR, similar to the one used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space that is up to 32 feet by 360 degrees. This translates to more accurate mapping and faster response times and better cleaning accuracy.

It also has an alternating mopping mat made of chenille. This makes it much easier to scrub hard-to-clean spots than conventional mops. In my tests, the X2 Omni washed its pad in just a few seconds and got to work. I noticed that it was more precise than other models, which seemed to follow a grid around rooms. It was able to navigate my rooms' corners and edges, as well as make a "Zambani pattern" up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water before beginning another task of cleaning.

The X2 Omni is just as easy to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. Place the dock in its place then plug it in and pair it with your WiFi network at home. It only takes some minutes. Then, you're able to launch the app and start with your first cleaning project. I was able dive into the settings and customize my floor plan in about 15 minutes, incorporating zones that are restricted to sweep and mop and robot vacuum mop Pet hair reworking my furniture placements, and more. The X2 Omni was impressive in 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

If you're looking for a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping look into the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line of the brand and comes with the latest OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system which uses dual-spinning brushes for superior cleaning over traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a unique natural language processing tech that allows it to respond to a variety of voice commands. The ECOVACS App allows you to plan your home, make cleaning schedules and modify settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch between vacuuming and mopping in one run. The two modes require you attach and remove mop heads as needed and is suitable for most homes, but isn't a good fit for people who have a busy schedule.

However, the Deebot Omni is an excellent robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests for pet hair. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood flooring. This is a fantastic performance. It did an excellent job on tiles and carpets and removed 99percent of dirt.

This robot mop and vacuum comes with a large docking station that offers cool water cleaning for its mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L bag that is easy to replace, and hot-air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that allows more frequent rinses and dry between mopping runs.

The Deebot T10 features a wash tray built into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to wash and dry its mop pads while using them. But it doesn't use a removable tray, which means that dirty water dust, dirt and other grime slowly accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first mopping model from Anker, which is known for its robot vacuums. It offers upgraded smarts, multiple maps support, and LIDAR scanning, in addition to twin turbine suction technology that adjusts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range cleaner that's attractive even if its promise of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning does not be realized.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a traditional robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular design with sweeping wheels and a raised space for sensors. Flip it over, however, and you'll find an electric floor brush and one side sweeper brush that pushes dirt from the edges into the main path of the robot's'mouth'. It's smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9, which I found makes it easier to get under sofas and chairs.

The mapping system is quite sophisticated, allowing you to set no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. However, it has a tendency to hit things (including its charging dock) and isn't the best in climbing over carpets. It was great at collecting pet hair off carpets. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5 percent of kitty litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has a set of physical buttons located at the base of the. These buttons allow you to select the cleaning mode, or turn off the robot. Additionally, you can use these to set no-go zones and see real-time maps. It's also a little chatty and will let you know what it's planning to do next (start cleaning) or warn you if something is wrong.

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 a remarkable feature set that includes two cleaning modes as well as a self-emptying dock and a real-time obstacle-avoiding technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device can be controlled best through the Neato App where cleaning schedules are set and maintenance requirements are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a carpet, hard carpet and flooring, however it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck by power cords, toys or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

The robot performed well in our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It was able to pick up everything, from one rice grain to multiple pet food pieces in only one swipe. It did have some issues with rugs, but generally speaking, this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms that have floors of different types and a mix of pets.

It's a bit expensive, but if you can manage the price, it's an excellent buy for those who want to be able to leave their homes free to do other tasks or take care of chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that increases suction to tackle tough dirt or spills. It also includes a battery-powered ElectroWall to define the boundaries of the robot.

This budget-friendly model from a popular upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've tested to date and offers an outstanding value for price. Its navigation system is basic and uses a super-basic random pathing algorithm and lacks room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time efficient than the other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and into the corners. Mopping mode performed well in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't as robust as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at getting rid of pet hair from all surfaces. It gets rid of floors with less thoroughly and does a good job on carpets with low pile and uses smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It can be directed to a specific location, and includes a variety of advanced automation features, including no-go zones and schedules. It allows you to pause and resume cleaning sessions, making it perfect for homes with pets.

The self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent knots from pet hair and other debris, and its self-emptying bagless dock station can hold up to 30 days of dirt before needing to be emptied. It also comes with an assortment of angled side brushes that go deep into corners, and its multi-stage filtration system captures dust, dander, and allergens for a cleaner air.

This vacuum feels solid and well-built. It comes with an app for smartphones that lets you change the settings of your vacuum and schedule cleaning sessions ahead of time. The app also allows you to view the remaining battery life and receive push notifications for any problems it encounters during its cleaning cycle. You can use your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, and if you don't have either of those, you can mark off areas with physical boundary marker strips.

The iQ excels in cleaning floors with no dirt, and does a decent job on carpets with low pile and shaggy edges. However it's not able to provide the same level of autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly and the cost of recurring use can be quite costly.
