The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop set-up is the ideal solution for pets that shed fur. This machine can mop and vacuum, and even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we have tested, with 8000Pa. It can also set up 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 range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This model that is dry and wet comes with the upgraded AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system from Ecovacs, which provides improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system is dual-laser LiDAR -- similar to what you'll find in self-driving vehicles and is able to scan an area of up to 32 feet in 270 degrees. This results in more precise mapping as well as faster response time and greater cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with a rotating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it much easier to scrub hard-to-clean spots than traditional mopping. During my tests it was able to clean the X2 Omni washed its pad in just a few seconds and then got to work. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models, which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was able to navigate my rooms with its corners and edges and also create a "Zambani pattern" across the middle of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station frequently to empty the trash bin and clean the mop using hot water prior to starting another cleaning job.

The X2 Omni is as easy to use and set up as other Ecovacs products. Snap the dock into position, plug it in and pair it with your home WiFi network. It takes just a few minutes. After that, you can start the app and begin with your first task of cleaning. I was able to customize my floor plan in about 15 minutes. This included creating restricted areas for mopping and sweeping, reworking the placement of furniture on the wall and much more. The X2 Omni performed admirably during my tests. It scored high in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal. It also had near-perfect results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of mopping and vacuuming look into the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line offered by the company and features the OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system, which makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than the traditional scrubbers. It also has YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is a first of its kind. This allows it to respond to various voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you plan your home, make cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The T10 Omni's biggest flaw is that it's unable to switch between mopping and vacuuming in a single run. The two modes require you attach and take off the mop heads according to the need and is suitable for most homes but not an ideal choice for those who have a busy schedule.

The Deebot T10 Omni is a superb robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests on pet hair. It removed more than 96% debris from our hardwood flooring. This is a remarkable performance. It also did a fantastic job with tile and carpet and tile, getting rid of more than 90% of dirt and dust.

This Deenkee Robot Vacuum - 3000PA Powerhouse for Ultimate Cleaning mop and vacuum comes with large docking stations that provides cool water cleaning for the mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L disposable bag that's simple to replace, and hot air drying for quick and simple maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that allows more frequent rinses and dry between mopping runs.

The Deebot T10 comes with an integrated wash tray into its base, similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to rinse and dry the mop pads when it is using them. However, it doesn't come with an open tray, meaning that dirty water dust, dirt and other grime slowly accumulates 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 This model is the first venture into the realm of mopping. It features enhanced intelligence with multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that adjusts automatically to the floor you're cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range robot vacuum cleaner however it doesn't meet its promise to be a one-stop shop for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a regular robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular design, sweeping wheels and an elevated area for sensors. However, flip it over, and you'll find a motorised floor brush plus one side sweeper brush that pushes dirt from the edges of the machine into the main path of the robot's mouth. It's a little 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 lets you define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However it tends to get into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always adept in negotiating carpets. It was capable of removing pet hair from floors that were bare, though, and in our tests, it took in 89.5 percent of litter, which is higher than all but the most powerful robots we've examined.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has a set of physical buttons located at the base of the. These buttons allow you to select a cleaning mode or turn off the robot. You can also use these to set no-go zones as well as see maps in real-time. It's a little chatty, too, and will let you know what it plans to do next ("start cleaning") or alert you that something's wrong (it doesn't have enough power to charge, for instance).

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech vacuum model is able to pick up pet hair, kibble and other particles with impressive effectiveness. It can also move effortlessly around furniture legs. It comes with a set of features that is impressive, including two cleaning modes as well as an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It is Wi-Fi-enabled and is best controlled via the Neato app where cleaning can be scheduled and the overall maintenance requirements be monitored. The X2 Omni is a great option for homes with large spaces that have a mix of hard and carpet floors. However it will require some planning in advance to avoid getting caught by electrical cables, toys or other unintentional obstructions.

This robot did well in our tests on hardwood floors and food particles. It ate everything from a single rice grain to several pet food pieces in just one pass. It had some trouble with rugs but, generally speaking this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms that have both types of flooring and a mix of pets.

It is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, this is a great option for those who want to be able to leave their homes hands-free to go about other tasks or to take care of chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning feature that increases suction to get rid of tough dirt or spills. It also comes with a battery powered ElectroWall to set boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly option from a well-known brand is the most affordable robot we've tested yet and offers an exceptional value for the money. The basic navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm and it lacks the ability to map rooms. This is why it's less effective than other models in this list. It's still able to get under furniture and into the corners. And its mopping mode performed very well in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ might not be as durable however it is superior in cleaning pet hair off all surfaces. It does a better job of cleaning carpets with low piles and floors that are not covered. It also uses intelligent-pathing navigational software to improve maneuverability. It also allows you to transfer it to a particular area, and its advanced suite of automation features includes no-go zones and scheduling. It lets you pause and resume cleaning sessions, making it perfect for homes with pets.

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

The robot vacuum is built well and feels solid. It works with a smartphone application that lets you change the vacuum's settings and schedule cleaning sessions in advance. The app also allows you to view the iQ's remaining battery life and also receive push notifications about any issues it encounters during a cleaning process. You can use your voice to control the device using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device or, if you don't have either devices, you can mark zones with physical boundary strips.

The iQ can do a decent job of clearing bare floors and doing a fair job with shaggy and low-pile carpet however it lacks the same degree of autonomy as our top selections. It is also expensive and its recurring cost can be quite costly.
