Many of the best models are compatible with your smartphone. Find an application that lets you save schedules, maps and choose cleaning modes.
1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
Eufy's gunmetal-and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combinations on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate making maps of floors and rooms.
The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which includes linoleum in the dining area, kitchen, and bathrooms and a medium-pile and a large rug. It was capable of driving close to walls and even across thresholds that are raised without issue. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one step. robot vacuum uk did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved smoothly on its flat side against the floor and then lifting itself when it reached carpet or rugs.
The docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and replenishes its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water before each mopping session. The dock adds a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough for about a dozen cleaning sessions before it needs to be cleaned, although it will differ based on how often you use the mop.
The S1 requires periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. In order to do this, you'll have to clean the dirty water tank occasionally to keep it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from becoming clogged with dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
Ecovacs all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is an efficient solution for your cleaning requirements. Its robot vacuum boasts 8,700Pa of suction, and comes with a number of unique features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning that avoids obstacles and cleans around furniture. The mopping feature is remarkable, with mops rotating that actually lift and scrub the floor, as opposed to just drag the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned and dried at the base station when required.
This robot combo is easy to set up and use, and has a clear interface that guides you through the procedure. It also comes with a hand-vacuum which can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are also two water tanks which are automatically emptied or filled. It comes with a variety of settings that can be used to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a great vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that can effortlessly remove dust and debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are solid as well, though it can sometimes get caught up on the small carpets or area mats that I have in my house (which is something you can control by defining a virtual boundary within the application). Mopping capabilities are very good with a pair of spinning mop pads that can lift and scrub the floor instead of moving the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as required. The mops are also refilled at the top of the station if needed.
3. Dreame X40 Ultra
Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It boasts fantastic cleaning results and hands-off maintenance which makes it a strong contender for our top mop and vacuum robots. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure that an effective, customized cleaning is achieved.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is equally effective on carpets and hard floors. It cleaned the dirtiest places of our tests efficiently while avoiding pet hairs and other dirt. The sweeping capability of the machine is enhanced by a sidebrush that swings out in order to reach hard-to-reach areas, and a mop pad that extends along baseboards.
Its navigation system is intelligent that can navigate tight spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a beat. It can move from one area to another without having to reverse direction which is a great feature for larger homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than that of some competitors and leaves a large space between obstacles. This can result in miss-hit spots.
The interface of the app is easy to use and well-organized. It should be easy to use for both novices and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings. You can also alter suction power, mop setting 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 for real-time video monitoring. You will require a reliable WiFi connection to run the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
Robot vacuums are great at removing dirt and debris, but they aren't able to reach all dust. It's important to vacuum regularly, 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 specifically for this purpose. 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 an edgier version of the company's more pricier S-series models, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It is equipped with the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it does not have mopping capabilities and has an aluminum body.
Even though it's not able to mop floors, the Q5 has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen on a robot in this price range. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an automatic emptying system, so you don't have to manually empty the bin every time. It also has a clever app that lets you select your floor's type and schedule cleanings, and an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system for hands-free operation.
Its mops are also impressive with its 2700Pa power to take on pet hair and dirt, on both carpets and hard flooring. The Q5 was one of the few robots we tested did not show a problem with high-pile area rugs and carpets. However, it did not pick up kitty-litter or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising because it doesn't contain AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we have tested. It also uses a unique system to map your home, which allows it to get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums are unable to reach. This device also stores dust in a larger dustbin which means you have empty it less frequently. Additionally, it has washable filters that further lower the costs associated with using the device. The robot is able to detect carpets, and increase suction when needed. The app also allows you to mark areas you want to stay clear of this is a useful feature.
