The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets that shed fur A robot vacuum/mop combination is among the best floor cleaning options. This machine can mop and vacuum, and even dry and clean its own mop pads.

It also has the highest suction power of any robot we have examined, with 8,000Pa. It can also save maps of your home and create cleaning schedules through its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuum-mop robots. This wet/dry model comes with the upgraded AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system from Ecovacs, which provides improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system is dual-laser LiDAR which is similar to what is used in self-driving cars -- and can scan an area of up to 32 feet wide by 270 degrees. This results in more precise mapping as well as faster response time and better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with a rotating mopping mat constructed of chenille. This makes it much easier to scrub hard areas than traditional mops. During my tests, the X2 Omni washed its pad in just a few seconds and was ready to go. I noticed that it was more precise than other models that seemed to follow a grid around rooms. It was capable of navigating my room's with its corners and edges as well as create an "Zambani pattern" up and down the middle of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station regularly to empty the dust bin and clean the mop using hot water prior to beginning another clean-up job.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is a breeze to set up and begin using. It takes only a few minutes to put the dock in place, plug it in and connect it to your home Wi-Fi network. Then, you can launch the app to start your first cleaning project. I was able to customize my floor plan in about 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for mopping and sweeping, reworking the placement of furniture that is mounted on walls and more. The X2 Omni performed impressively during my tests, scoring excellent scores for debris removal and pet hair cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in cleaning crevices and edges.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping then check out the EcoVACS Deebot Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line from the brand and features the new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system, which uses dual-spinning brush for 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. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, create cleaning schedules, and adjust settings.

The most significant issue with the T10 Omni is that it's not able to switch from mopping to vacuuming in a single run. The T10 Omni comes with two modes that require you to attach mop heads and take them off depending on your requirements. This is fine for most households, but not so for those with busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is a fantastic robot vacuum that produces impressive results. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris we tossed at it our hardwood floors, which is an outstanding performance. It also did an excellent job on tile and carpet cleaning up more than 99percent of dirt and debris.

This robot mop and vacuum has an enormous docking station that offers 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.

Like many other mopping robots, the Deebot T10 Omni features a wash tray in its base that cleans and dries its mop pads as it uses them. But it doesn't use a removable 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 the Anker-owned Eufy is well-known in the world of robot vacuums This model is the first foray into the world of mopping. It is equipped with improved intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts for the floor you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robotic cleaner that's stylish even if its claim of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning doesn't quite make sense.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a traditional robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular shape with sweeping wheels, as well as a raised area for sensors. On the opposite side, you'll see a motorised floorbrush as well as one side brush that moves dust from the edges 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 define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However it is prone to hit things (including its charging dock) and isn't the best robot vacuum for pet hair on hardwood floors in climbing over rug. It was effective in getting pet hair off of the floor. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5% kitty litter.

Although it's controlled through the app it's also controllable via the app. X8 Hybrid also comes with a series of physical buttons on its base that let you select the cleaning mode and switch the robot off or on. You can also use them to set no-go zones and view real-time maps. It's also a bit chatty, and will tell what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or alert you if something isn't working.

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model can pick up pet hair, kibble and other particles with impressive effectiveness. It also maneuvers perfectly around furniture legs. It also has an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes, a self-emptying dock, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled best through the Neato App where cleaning schedules are set and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent option for homes with a large a mix of hard floors and carpet, but it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck on electrical cords, toys, or other unexpected obstacles.

The robot performed well during our tests on hardwood floors and Cheapest food particles. It was able to pick up everything from a single rice grain to multiple dog food pieces with only one swipe. It had a bit of difficulty transitioning to carpets, however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is perfect for large spaces with flooring of all kinds and a mix of pets.

The A4s Pro is expensive, but it's a great buy for people who want to be able to leave the house hands-free so they can take on other tasks or take care chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that boosts suction to take on tough dirt or spills. It also has a battery-powered ElectroWall to establish boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly choice from a popular upstart brand is the cheapest robot we've tested to date and offers an incredible value for money. The basic navigation system employs a super-basic random pathing algorithm that isn't equipped with room mapping capabilities, making it less efficient than the other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and in the corners. Its mopping mode performed very well in our tests by picking up hairs and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it does a better job overall in getting rid of pet hair on all surfaces. It cleans floors that are bare more thoroughly and does a good job on carpets with low pile, and it makes use of smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It can be sent to a specific area, and includes a variety of advanced automation options, including no-go zones and schedules. It also allows you to stop and restart cleaning sessions, making it perfect for homes with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll prevents the tangles caused by pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying dock station can store up to 30 days worth of dirt prior to needing to be cleaned. It also comes with an array of angled side brushes that go deep into corners, and its multi-stage filtration system can capture dust, dander, and allergens for a cleaner air.

This robot vacuum feels solid and well-constructed, and it works with a smartphone app which lets you alter its vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions 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 a cleaning session. You can control it using your voice with an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices, you can mark areas by using physical boundary markers.

The iQ excels for cleaning floors that aren't clean, and cheapest does an adequate job with shaggy and low-pile carpets. However it's not able to provide the same level of autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly and the recurring expenses can add up over time.
