The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur, a robot vacuum/mop combo is among the best floor cleaning options. This machine can vacuum and mop and can even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has 8,000Pa suction which is the highest of any robot we've examined. It can also create cleaning schedules and save your house's maps through its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest in Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This model that is dry and wet includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which offers improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system uses dual-laser LiDAR similar to the kind is used in self-driving cars -- and can scan an area of up to 32 feet in 270 degrees. This translates to more precise mapping, faster response times, as well as better cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping mat constructed of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard areas than traditional mop. During my tests the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and got to work. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models, which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was capable of navigating my room's with its corners and edges and also create an "Zambani pattern" across the center of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dustbin and wash the mop with hot water before beginning another task of cleaning.

The X2 Omni is just as simple to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. It takes just a few minutes to snap the dock into its place, plug it into, and pair with your Wi-Fi network at home. Then, you can launch the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to dig into the settings and personalize my floor plan in about 15 minutes, which included creating specific areas for mopping and sweeping as well as reworking my wall-mounted furniture placements, and so on. The X2 Omni was astonished in my tests, achieving outstanding scores in debris removal and pet hair cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in edge and crevice cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you're looking for a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping, check out the EcoVACS Deebot Omni. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line offered by the company and comes with the new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that uses dual-spinning brush for better cleaning than traditional scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a unique natural language processing tech that allows it to respond to a range of voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you design your home, create cleaning schedules and modify settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it cannot switch from mopping and vacuuming in one run. Both modes require that you attach and remove the mop heads as needed, which is fine for most homes but not a good fit for people who lead busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is a great robot vacuum that produces impressive results. It was able to remove more than 96% of debris from our hardwood flooring. This is an excellent performance. It did a great job on tiles and carpets and removed 99percent of dirt.

This robotic vacuum and mop has an enormous docking station that provides cool water auto-cleaning for its mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L bag that's simple to replace, and hot air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a large tank of water that allows it to be washed and dried more often between mopping sessions.

Deebot T10 has a wash tray built into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads while it is using them. It does not have a tray that can be removed, which means that dirt, dust and other grime will slowly build up on the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

This is the first mopping model from Anker that is renowned for its robot vacuums. It has enhanced smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, in addition to twin turbine suction technology that adjusts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robot cleaner that's attractive even if its claim 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 shape with sweeping wheels, and an elevated sensor. Turn it upside down, however there's an electric floor brush and a single side sweeper brush that pushes dirt from the edges into the main path of the robot's mouth. It's a bit 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 reasonably sophisticated that allows you to create no-mop zones, as well as specific cleaning zones. It is prone to hitting things like its charging station, and isn't the best at climbing over carpets. It was great at getting pet hair off of bare floors. In our tests, it picked up 89.5 percent of cat litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has physical buttons at its base. These buttons let you choose a cleaning mode or turn the robot on/off. You can also use them to set no-go zones as well as view real-time maps. It's a bit chatty and will inform you of what it's planning to do next ("start cleaning") or alert you that something is wrong (it does not have enough power to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This model of high-tech vacuum is able to pick up pet hair, kibble, and other particles with impressive efficiency. It also moves effortlessly around furniture legs. It has a feature set that is impressive, which includes two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled via the Neato App where cleaning schedules are set and maintenance requirements are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for large homes with carpet, hard carpet and flooring, however it requires some planning ahead to avoid getting stuck on toys, power cords or other unexpected obstacles.

This robot was very successful during our tests on hardwood floors and food particles. It picked up everything, from one rice grain to multiple dog food pieces, with only one swipe. It had some trouble with rugs but, generally, this vacuum cleaner is great for large rooms that have different flooring types as well as a mixture of pets.

The A4s Pro is expensive but it's an excellent option for those who wish to to leave the house without hands so that they can take on other tasks or perform household chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that boosts suction to get rid of tough dirt or spills. It also has a battery-powered ElectroWall to define the boundaries of the robot.

This budget-friendly choice from a well-known brand is the most affordable robot we've ever tested and provides an outstanding value for money. Its basic navigation system is based on a very basic random pathing algorithm and it lacks the ability to map rooms. This renders it less efficient as other models on this list. However, it's still able to navigate under furniture and into corners and its mopping mode worked very well during our tests it picked up pet hair and other debris effortlessly.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as well-built, but it is better in removing Revolutionize Pet Hair Cleaning with Robot Vacuums hair from all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning low-pile carpet and floor surfaces that are bare. It also uses the smart-pathing software for better mobility. It also lets you transfer it to a particular area, and its advanced set of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It also allows you to stop and restart cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes that have pets.

Its self cleaning brushroll prevents tangles and can hold up to 30 day's worth of dirt. It comes with of side brushes that are angled to reach into corners, as well as a multi-stage filter system that captures dust, allergens, and dander.

The iQ robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. It has a smartphone application that lets you change the vacuum's settings and schedule cleaning times ahead of time. The app allows you to view the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive push notifications if it encounters any issues during a cleaning session. You can also control it using your voice using an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices, you can mark areas with physical boundary lines.

The iQ does a decent job of removing bare floors and does a decent job on shaggy and low-pile carpet however it lacks the same degree of autonomy as our top choices. It's also costly and the cost of recurring use can be quite costly.
