The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the top floor cleaning solutions. It can mop and vacuum and can even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has the highest suction power of any robot we have examined, with 8000Pa. It also can save maps of your home and schedule cleaning schedules using its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet/dry model comes with the upgraded AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which gives improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR that is similar to that used in self emptying robot vacuum pet hair-driving vehicles. It can scan a space that is up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This translates to more accurate mapping, faster response time, and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping mat made of chenille. This makes it easier to scrub hard-to-clean spots than traditional mops. During my tests, the X2 Omni washed its pad in just a few seconds and then got to work. I noticed that it was more precise than other models which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was capable of navigating my room's by the corners and edges and also create a "Zambani pattern" across the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station regularly to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water, before starting another cleaning task.

Like other Ecovacs products, the X2 Omni is simple to set up and begin using. Place the dock in its place, plug it in and pair it with your WiFi network at home. It only takes about a minute. After that, you can start the app and start with your first task of cleaning. I was able to customize my floor plan in less than 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping, reworking the placement of furniture on the wall, and more. The X2 Omni did a great job during my tests, with excellent scores for debris removal and pet hair cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in edge and crevice cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The ECOVACS T10 Omni is a powerful vacuum and mopping machine. It is the most advanced model of the T-line of the brand and comes with a new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide more effective cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a unique natural language processing technology that allows it to respond to a wide range of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The T10 Omni's biggest flaw is that it's unable to switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single operation. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach and remove mop heads in accordance with your needs. This is fine for the majority of households, but not so for people who have a busy schedule.

However, the Deebot Omni is a fantastic robot vacuum and delivers impressive results in our pet hair tests. It removed more than 96% of debris from our hardwood flooring. This is a remarkable performance. It also did a fantastic job with tile and carpet cleaning up more than 99percent of dirt and dust.

This robot vacuum and mop has a large docking system that allows for automatic cleaning with cool water for the mop pads. It also features an auto-emptying 3L bag that is easy to replace, and hot air drying for fast and simple maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that allows for frequent washing and drying between mopping runs.

Like other mopping machines like the Deebot T10 Omni, it comes with a wash tray at its base that rinses and dries the mop pads as it utilizes them. It doesn't have a removable tray, so dust, dirt and other grime can slowly build up at the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first mopping model from Anker that is renowned for its robot vacuums. It has improved intelligence with multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts for the surface you are cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range robot vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't quite deliver on its promise of being an all-in-one solution for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be an ordinary robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, sweeping wheels, and a raised sensor area. On the opposite side there's a motorized floorbrush as well as a single side brush that pushes dust away from the edges and into the main path of its'mouth.' It's a little smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9, which I discovered makes it easier to get under chairs and sofas.

Its mapping system lets you define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However it tends to get into things (including its charging dock) and isn't always adept in negotiating carpets. It was effective in picking up pet hair from bare floors. In our tests it picked up 89.5 percent of kitty litter.

Although it's controlled through the app it's also controllable via the app. X8 Hybrid also comes with a series of physical buttons on its base that let you select a cleaning mode, and turn the robot on/off. These buttons can be used to establish areas that aren't allowed to enter and view real-time maps. It's also a bit chatty and will inform you of what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or notify you if something is wrong.

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model can pick up pet hair, kibble, and other messes with remarkable effectiveness. It also moves effortlessly around furniture legs. It also comes with an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes and a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The device that is Wi-Fi-connected can be operated via the Neato App which schedules cleanings and maintenance requirements are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent option for homes with a large a mix of hard floors and carpet, but it requires some planning ahead to avoid getting stuck by toys, power cords or other unexpected obstacles.

This robot was very successful in our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything, from one rice grain to a variety of dog food pieces with only one sweep. It had some issues with rugs but, in general this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms that have both types of flooring as well as a mixture of pets.

The A4s Pro is expensive, but it's a great option for those who wish to to leave the house without hands so that they can get out and do other things or do chores. The A4s Pro also offers a useful auto cleaning mode that automatically increases suction power to deal with tough spills and dirt and it is equipped with an electric ElectroWall that allows you to set boundaries that the robot is not allowed to be allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly model from a well-known upstart brand is the cheapest model we've tested yet and robot vacuum mops offers an outstanding value for price. The basic navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm, and it's not able to map rooms. This makes it less efficient as other models on this list. However it's still able navigate under furniture and into corners, and its mopping mode performed well in our testing, picking up stray pet hair and other debris easily.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't quite as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it does better overall at getting rid of pet hair on all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning carpets with low piles as well as bare floors. It also uses the smart-pathing software for better mobility. It can be positioned to a specific location, and includes a variety of advanced automation options, including no-go zones and schedules. It allows you to stop and resume cleaning making it ideal for homes that have pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent tangles and can hold up to 30 days of dirt. It comes with angled side brushes to reach into corners, as well as a multi-stage filter system that captures dust, dander and allergens.

The robot vacuum feels sturdy and well-constructed, and 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 lets you see the remaining battery life of the iQ and receive push notifications when it encounters any issues during a cleaning session. You can control it with your voice using an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't have either of these devices you can mark out areas with physical boundary lines.

The iQ is good in cleaning floors with no dirt, and is able to do an adequate job with carpets that are sagging and Robot Vacuum Mops low-pile. However, it doesn't offer the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It's also expensive, and its recurring expenses can add up over time.
