The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets that shed fur A robot vacuum/mop combination is among the best floor cleaning solutions. The machine can mop, vacuum mop for pet hair and clean its own mop pad with dual mop pads.

It also has 8,000Pa suction, the most of any robot that we've evaluated. It can also save your home's maps and set cleaning schedules from its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest model in Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet/dry model is equipped with the latest 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 found in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet by 270 degrees. This results in more precise mapping, faster response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also features an adjustable mopping pad made of chenille fabric. This makes it easier to scrub hard areas more effectively as opposed to traditional mopping. In my testing, the X2 Omni took just over an hour to clean its pad and begin work. I also noticed that it was more precise than previous models that seemed to follow a gridded route around rooms. It was able navigate corners and edges of my rooms, and also create "Zambani patterns" up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station on a regular basis to empty the dustbin, and clean the mop with hot water, before starting another cleaning task.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is easy to set up and begin using. It takes just minutes to secure the dock into its place, plug it into and connect it to your Wi-Fi network at home. After that, you can start the app and begin with your first cleaning task. I was able to dig into the settings and personalize my floor plan in less than 15 minutes, including creating restricted areas for sweeping and mopping and reworking my furniture layouts, and much more. The X2 Omni did a great job in my tests, achieving excellent scores for cleaning pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as near-perfect results in crevice and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The ECOVACS T10 Omni is a powerful vacuum and mopping machine. It is the most advanced model of the brand's T-line, and features a new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide more effective cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbers. It comes with YIKO, which is a natural language processing system that is a first of its kind. This allows it to respond to various voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you design your home, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The T10 Omni's biggest flaw is that it can't switch from mopping and vacuuming in one run. The T10 Omni comes with two modes that require you to attach mop heads and take them off in accordance with your needs. This is great for most households, but not so for those with busy lives.

However, the Deebot T10 Omni is a superb robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests on pet hair. It vacuumed up more than 96% of the particles we tossed at it our hardwood floors and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It was a success on tiles and carpets cleaning up 99percent of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mop has large docking systems that allows for automatic cleaning with cool water for the mop pads. It also features an auto-emptying 3L bag which is easy to replace, and hot air drying for fast and easy maintenance. It also comes with a large tank of water that allows it to be washed and dried more often between mopping sessions.

Deebot T10 has an integrated wash tray into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It uses the wash tray to rinse and dry the mop pads while using them. However, it doesn't have an open tray, meaning that dirty water dust, dirt, and other grime gradually builds up in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

While Anker's Eufy is well known in the field of robot vacuums but this model is its first venture into the realm of mopping. It has Bagotte BG600: Upgraded Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop smarts, multiple maps support and LIDAR scanning, as well as twin-turbine suction technology that automatically adapts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robotic cleaner that's appealing, even if its promise of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning does not come true.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, sweeper wheels and a raised sensor area. On the other hand you'll find a motorized floorbrush and a single side brush that moves dust from the edges to the main artery of its' mouth.' It's smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under chairs and couches.

Its mapping system is fairly sophisticated that allows you to create no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. It has a tendency of bumping into things like its charging station, and isn't very good in climbing over carpets. It did a good job of removing pet hair on bare floors However, during our tests, it picked up 89.5% of kitty litter, which is higher than all but the most powerful robots we've tested.

While it's controllable via the app and the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with physical buttons on its base that let you select a cleaning mode, and turn the robot off and on. You can also 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 when something isn't right.

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model sucks up pet hair, kibble and other messes with remarkable performance and is able to effortlessly maneuver around furniture legs. It comes with a feature set that is impressive, such as two cleaning modes as well as an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best controlled through the Neato app where cleaning can be scheduled and overall maintenance needs monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a carpet, hard floors and carpet, but it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck on electrical cords, toys, or other unexpected obstacles.

This robot was very successful during our tests on hardwood floors and food particles. It ate everything from one rice grain to several dog food pieces with only one swipe. It had some difficulty transitioning to carpets, however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is great for rooms that have different flooring types and a mix of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive however it's a great purchase for those who want to to leave the house hands-free so they can do other things or perform household 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 includes a battery-powered ElectroWall that lets you set boundaries that the robot isn't permitted to be allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly choice from a popular upstart brand is the cheapest model we've tested yet and offers an outstanding value for money. Its basic navigation system uses a super-basic random pathing algorithm, but it doesn't have room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time efficient than the other models on this list. However it's still able reach under furniture and in corners and its mopping feature performed well in our testing, picking up stray pet hair and other debris effortlessly.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at getting rid of pet hair on all surfaces. It clears bare floors more thoroughly and does a good job on carpets with a low pile, and it uses smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It also lets you send it to a specific room, and its advanced suite of automation features includes no-go zones as well as scheduling. It also lets you to pause and resume cleaning sessions which is ideal for households with pets.

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

This robot vacuum feels solid and well-constructed, and it works with a smartphone app which lets you alter the settings for your vacuum and plan cleaning times in advance. The app lets you see the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive push notifications in the event of any issues during a cleaning session. You can utilize your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you do not have either of these devices, you can mark areas with physical boundary marker strips.

The iQ does a decent job of cleaning floors and does a decent job on low-pile and shaggy carpet however it lacks the same degree of autonomy as our top picks. It is also expensive and the cost of recurring use can add up.
