Five Tools Everybody Within The Robot Vacuum And Mop Industry Should Be Using

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly capable, acing our tests of cleaning and tackling various floor types. Find models that allow you to select from multiple modes, use their charging docks to self-empty, and clean up the stairs.

Many of the best models work with your smartphone. Find an application that lets you save maps, set schedules and select cleaning options.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal-and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combos available on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate, create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set up schedules and modify the behavior of the S1.

When I tested the S1 It was quick to map the downstairs area, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, along with carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls without colliding with them, and even managed to drive across thresholds for rooms that are raised without issue, though it occasionally had trouble navigating down stairs in a single pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop smoothly on its flat side against the floor and then lifting itself when it reached carpet or rug.

Before each mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and refills the water tank with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution for the water. The S1's tank of water holds enough water for around a dozen cleaning sessions before it needs to be emptied, though this will vary depending on how much you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires periodic maintenance to keep it working well. You'll need to wash out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to avoid them becoming blocked by dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other combinations that require more hands-on maintenance.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop provides an effective solution for your cleaning requirements. The Ecovacs robot vacuum comes with 8700Pa of suction power and comes with a variety of innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans around furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive, with rotating mops that actually lift and scrub the floor instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station when required.

The robot is simple to setup and use, and has a clear interface that walks you through the process. It also comes with a hand vacuum that can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are also two water tanks that can be automatically emptied or filled. It comes with a range of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction that can effortlessly remove dirt and other debris that other robots have difficulty with. Its navigation abilities are also quite good, though it could get stuck on small mats and rugs in my home (which you can alleviate by creating virtual boundaries in the app). The mopping feature is pretty excellent, too, with a pair of spinning mops that actually lift and scrub floors, instead of simply dragging the pad across it. The mops are cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as required. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. But their latest flagship model comes with even more impressive features. It is a great cleaner, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a top contender on our top list of mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and a larger side brush ensure an effective, customized cleaning is accomplished.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is a great choice on hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest areas of our tests with ease by avoiding pet hairs as well as other mess. The sweeping power is enhanced by an additional side brush that automatically extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is intelligent it can navigate through tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a step. It can move from one area to another without having to reverse direction, which is a handy feature for homes with several rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is not as advanced than some competitors, however, and tends to leave a wide distance around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.

The app's interface is intuitive and well-organized. It should be simple to use for novice and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleaning tasks.  robot vacuum best  can also alter the suction power, mop settings, and view 3-D and 2D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get real-time video supervision. You'll need a stable WiFi connection to use the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are great in removing dirt and debris but they can't reach every speck of dust. It's essential to clean your home often, at least once a week. This is especially true for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop designed to do exactly that. It's easy to connect to your Wi-Fi at home network and works with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful addition to your routine of cleaning.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's more pricier S-series models, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but saves on cost by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a lower-cost plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to mop floors, the Q5 has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robotic in this price range. It's got a powerful suction power of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, so you don't have to manually empty the bin every time. It comes with a smart application which allows you to schedule cleaning times and set the floor type. It also features an automatic water tank filling system and washing system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have issues with high-pile carpets or area rug, but it was unable to remove kitty litter or cable tangles and cable tangles, which isn't a surprise given that it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robotic vacuum we've ever tested. It also uses an innovative mapping system that helps it reach corners and tight places that other vacuums cannot. This device also has the bin, which means you don't have to empty it as frequently. It also has washable filters which further reduces the cost of using the device. This robot can also detect carpets and boost the suction when needed. You can also mark areas you would like the robot to avoid using the app.
