Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more capable. They pass our cleaning tests, and can handle various flooring. Select models that allow you to choose between multiple modes, self-empty and clean stairs.

Many of the best models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that lets you save schedules, maps and select cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The black and gloss gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate and creates maps of rooms and floors.

When I tested the S1, it was quick to identify our downstairs, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, as well as carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It easily drove close to walls without hitting them, and was able to traverse thresholds that were raised in the room without issue, though it occasionally struggled to get down stairs in a single pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved effortlessly on its flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it reached carpet or carpet.

The S1's docking station automatically empties its trash bin and replenishes its water tank on board with clean, ozonated water before each mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank is able to hold up to 12 cleaning sessions, but this will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots that vacuum and mop the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure that it's operating well. For this, you'll need to wash the dirty water tank regularly to keep it from becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to avoid them becoming blocked by dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially when compared to other combinations that require more care.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

This all-in-one robotic mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a great choice for cleaning needs. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a number advanced features like voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor rather than simply dragging the pad across it. The mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station, if required.

This robot combo has a simple interface that guides you through the process. It also comes with a hand-vacuum that can be utilized to clean those difficult to reach areas that the robot is unable to reach. There are two water tanks that are 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 is able to effortlessly remove dirt and other debris that other robots have trouble with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it can be stuck on small area mats and rugs around my home (which you can mitigate by defining virtual boundaries in the app). Its mopping capabilities are also quite good, with a pair spinning mop heads that lift and scrub the floor instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station when needed. The mops can also be filled at the top of the station as needed.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was launched earlier this year. But their new flagship model comes with even more impressive features. It offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-free maintenance making it a top contender on our top robot vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and a larger side brush ensure an efficient, custom-designed clean is completed.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is a great choice on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our test's most filthy areas well, and keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other mess. The sweeping performance of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush that moves out to reach areas that are difficult to reach, and mop pads that run along baseboards.

Its navigation is nimble, navigating narrow spaces and climbing stairs without missing a beat. It can move from one room to the next without having to reverse direction. This is beneficial for homes with a lot of rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is not as advanced than some competitors, and leaves a huge space over obstacles. This could lead to missed spots.

The app is streamlined, intuitive interface that should be easy to use for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleaning tasks. You can also adjust suction power, mop setting and look up 3-D and 2-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely for real-time video supervision. You'll need a stable internet connection to use it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are fantastic at removing dirt and debris but they can't reach all dust. This is why it's crucial to use your regular vacuum once every week, and especially to clean dust from corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot vacuum cleaners reviews designed specifically for this purpose. It's easy to connect to your WiFI network at home and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the company's more expensive S-series models, which include the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, but it is cheaper because it doesn't come with mopping capabilities and has a plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to wipe your floors, the Q5 still has some of the best mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot hoover at this price. It has a strong suction of 5500Pa and an automatic hoover-empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin by hand each time. It also has a clever application that lets you choose your floor's type and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic water tank refill and wash system for hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive with 2700Pa of power to take on dust, dirt and pet hair on both hard floors and carpets. The Q5 was among the few robots that we tested to not have issues with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it was able to not remove kitty-poop or cable tangles. This isn't a surprise, since it does NOT contain AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is the quietest robot vacuum we've ever tested. It also uses a unique mapping system that allows it to reach corners and tight places that other vacuums are unable to. It also collects dust in a larger dustbin which means you need empty it less frequently. It also has washable filters which further reduces costs. The robot is also able to detect carpets and increase suction when needed. You can also mark off areas you want the robot to avoid using the app.
