The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the top floor cleaning solutions. The machine can mop and vacuum, and can even dry and clean its own mop pads.

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

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This model that is wet-dry is fitted with Ecovacs' upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system uses dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to that used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan that is up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This results in more precise mapping, quicker response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with an alternating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it much easier to scrub hard-to-clean spots than conventional mopping. During my tests, the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and then got to work. I noticed that it was more precise than other models which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was capable of navigating my room's with its corners and edges as well as make a "Zambani pattern" that ran up and down the center of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station on a regular basis to empty the dustbin and wash the mop with hot water prior to starting another task of cleaning.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is a breeze to set up and begin using. It takes just minutes to secure the dock into its place, plug it into, and pair with your home Wi-Fi network. After that, you can start the app and start with your first cleaning task. I was able dive into the settings and modify my floor plan in less than 15 minutes, which included creating specific areas for mopping and sweeping as well as reworking my wall-mounted furniture placements, and more. The X2 Omni performed impressively during my tests, with excellent scores in the removal of pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as near-perfect results for cleaning crevices and edges.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The T10 Omni from ECOVACS is a powerful mopping and vacuum cleaner. It is the most advanced model of the brand's T-line and features the latest OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that uses dual-spinning brushes for better cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbers. It has YIKO, an artificial language processing technology that is the first of its kind. It can respond to a variety of voice commands. The ECOVACS App allows you to map your house, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The T10 Omni's biggest flaw is that it cannot switch from mopping and vacuuming in a single run. The two modes require you attach and remove the mop heads according to the need, which is fine for most homes, but isn't a good fit for people who lead busy lives.

However, the Deebot Omni is a superb Lefant M210P Robot Vacuum Cleaner - Ultimate Alexa Control vacuum that has impressive results in our tests on pet hair. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the dust we threw at it on our hardwood floors and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It did an excellent job on carpets and tiles, removing 99percent of dirt.

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

As with other mopping robots such as the Deebot T10, this one features a wash tray in its base, which rinses and dries the mop pads as it uses them. However, it doesn't come with a removable 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 the Anker-owned Eufy is well-known in the field of robot vacuums but this model is its first venture into the world of mopping. It comes with improved smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, along with twin-turbine suction technology that adapts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robotic cleaner that's stylish even if the claim of being a one-stop shop for floor cleaning doesn't quite make sense.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular shape with the sweeping wheels, as well as an elevated sensor. On the opposite side you'll find a motorized floorbrush and a single side brush that moves dust away from the edges and into the main path of its'mouth.' It's a little smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under couches and chairs.

Its mapping system allows you to set up no-mop areas and specific cleaning zones. However it is prone to hit things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always great in climbing over rug. It was effective in collecting pet hair off carpets. In our tests, it picked up 89.5 percent of cat litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has physical buttons on its base. These buttons let you select the cleaning mode, or turn the robot on/off. You can also use these to set no-go zones and see maps in real-time. It's also a little chatty and will inform you of what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or warn you when something isn't right.

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model is able to pick up pet hair, kibble, and other messes with remarkable effectiveness. It can also move effortlessly around furniture legs. It also comes with an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes as well as a self-emptying dock and a real-time obstacle avoidance system. It's Wi-Fi enabled and best controlled through the Neato app, where cleanings can be scheduled and overall maintenance needs monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes that have a mixture of hard and carpet floors. However, it will need some planning in advance to avoid getting caught by toys, power cables, or other unintentional obstructions.

This robot did well in our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It was able to pick up everything, from one rice grain to a variety of dog food pieces with just one pass. It did have some issues with rugs, but in general the vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms that have different flooring types as well as a mix of pets.

It is a bit pricey, but if you can handle the cost it's a great purchase for those who want to be able to leave their homes hands-free to go about other tasks or take care of chores. The A4s Pro also offers a handy auto cleaning mode that automatically boosts suction power to tackle tough dirt and spills, and comes with batteries that power the ElectroWall which allows you to set boundaries that the robot isn't permitted to be allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly model from a popular upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've tested to date and offers an outstanding value for cost. Its navigation system is basic and uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm that isn't equipped with room mapping capabilities, which makes it less efficient than the other models on this list. However it's still able navigate under furniture and into corners and its mopping mode performed well in our testing, picking up stray pet hair and other debris easily.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't quite as robust as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at getting rid of pet hair from all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning low-pile carpet and bare floors. It also makes use of intelligent-pathing navigational software to improve maneuverability. It also lets you send it to a specific area, and its advanced set of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It lets you stop and restart cleaning sessions making it ideal for homes that have pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll helps prevent tangles with pet hair and other debris, and its self-emptying bagless dock station can store up to 30 days worth of dirt before it needs to be emptied. It has a set of side brushes that are angled to reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system that collects dust, allergens and dander.

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

The iQ is good in cleaning floors with no dirt and is able to do well on shaggy and low-pile carpets. However it doesn't provide the same level autonomy as our top selections. It is also expensive and its monthly costs can be quite costly.
