Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

A robot vacuum is a great device to keep the cleanliness of your home. It will nab dust, pet hair and other surface debris before it becomes a bigger problem.

Some robots can sync with smart assistants such as Alexa or Google Assistant to provide a hands-free environment. Look for models that recharge and pick up where they left off.

1. iRobot S8

This smart robot vacuum and mop combination is a great option for a wide range of homes. It features a superb navigation system that incorporates GPS and laser sensors. It also comes with numerous features and controls accessible via the app. It also comes with a helpful feature that allows you to create Cleaning zones for specific areas that require extra attention, and also to keep Out zones where you don't want it to move. And, like all Roomba devices, it receives new software updates that make it better over time.

It's expensive but also one of the most advanced robot vacuums ZDNet has ever tested. It has a high-powered battery that can sweep a large home in under two hours. Additionally, it can switch between vacuuming and mopping robot vacuum cleaner with the press of a button. It will automatically empty the trash bin that is above its charging station, in contrast to other self-emptying robots that require you to empty it after every run.

It comes with a variety of other features that make it a good choice for homes of all sizes that include intelligent obstacle avoidance that uses both a camera and processor-powered smarts to detect obstacles. It rarely gets derailed or stuck during a cleaning process and is also the most effective in avoiding power cables and other objects in my tests. However, it's not as effective in detecting pet waste or other dangers.

2. Eufy RoboVac Hybrid X8

Although Anker-owned Eufy has earned an impact in budget robot vacuums, it's not yet an all-in-one model which can also mop. This is changing with the X8 Hybrid, which has an impressive suite of advanced features that can compete against more expensive models.

The laser navigation system is the primary selling point of this machine. The X8 makes use of the laser mapping system, which is more accurate than the previous Eufy devices. It also takes significantly less time to create an accurate picture of your home and can store multiple maps, which is great for homes with multiple floors.

The X8 is a great vacuum cleaner for floors that are clean. It is able to effortlessly sling debris under the side brushes and into the 400ml dustbin. The X8's tyres, despite having a circular shape, are good in grabbing corners and edges. Our tests revealed that it was able to remove 90 percent of the fur from hard floors.

There's a basic mopping option that uses the same water tank as the vacuuming. This is ideal for spills that aren't serious, but you can't regulate the amount of water it consumes. It does, however, do an excellent job of picking up pet hair, and has a higher speed of pickup than the Roborock S7.

3. Miele RX2

Miele's RX2 robotic vacuum is known for its quiet, efficient appliances. It is a stunning design, excellent navigation, and Vacuum Robot Mop excellent cleaning power. However, it does have some operational issues that prevent it from being ranked as the best overall smart robot vacuum.

The RX2 comes with a dual-sensor mapping system that uses a LIDAR to map a room, and a pair 3D scanning cameras to detect and avoiding obstacles (such as furniture legs or pet waste). Once the room is defined and assigned, you can designate virtual no-go areas and sections that you would like to be the robot. You can also start an automatic clean or manually change the cleaning mode, view live feeds from the onboard cameras, and more on the main screen.

The RX2 has superior sensors that can detect furniture and other obstructions instantly. The suction and sweeping capabilities are excellent, taking away surface debris from carpets with medium pile and also removing dust that has been deposited on floors. It's not the fastest robot available. It's not the best climber and has issues with metal threshold transition strips.

Many people purchase robot vacuums because of the ease of setting up a schedule in an app, and then forgetting about them for weeks. It's crucial that a robot is capable of doing the job and that's why our ZDNet staff has compared and looked over some of the most popular models in order to help you select the right one for your house.

4. Shark ION

This budget robovac is a robot that is similar to other, but it has several more features and a better performance. Its smart mapping system generates 3D and 2D maps of your home and makes use of them to navigate and stay clear of obstructions. It can even detect common obstacles like furniture legs and power cords in real-time. This combination of sensors together with a bump sensor, and an infrared sensor for dropping that keeps it from falling down the stairs, makes it one of the fastest vacs we've tested.

It was able to climb over thick shag carpets and didn't get stuck (unlike the RoboVac 11s or Roomba 690-). Its navigation abilities were also impressive. Its composite score for flooring and carpet was higher than the competition, and it picked up 98.5% of dirt and Vacuum Robot Mop embedded dog hair from our lab test samples.

The controls are simpler than the competitors. There's a cleaning button at the top, and you can start it using the app or via voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also schedule daily or weekly cleanings, set up no-go zones and check the history of cleaning. Ion is covered in a smart dark gray plastic that is both attractive and attractive in your home. The dust bin on the rear is easy to access for emptying and removing the filter is the same.

5. Eufy 11S

Eufy 11S is an excellent option if you're looking for an automated vacuum cleaner that is simple and simple at a low cost. It doesn't have many of the smart features, such as digital mapping and Alexa integration, found in higher-end models but if you don't need these functions, you can save a little money by purchasing this model.

This robot is easy to set up and use. It doesn't require a smartphone app or Wi-Fi pairing, however it does have an remote control that lets you choose between different modes and adjust the suction level. It also allows you to manually turn off the robovac for scheduled cleaning.

During our tests, we discovered that the 11S was extremely efficient in getting dirt and pet fur from hard floors and low-pile carpets. Its slim profile allowed it to get under low-hanging furniture and other objects that larger robots are unable to reach. It was able to pass easily over thresholds of doors and transition from one type of floor to another.

The 11S, just like other robots will also suckup some items, including cords and cat toys. The manufacturer suggests that you can prevent this by keeping these items off the floor and by using an organizer for cords if you can. It also recommends cleaning the dustbin on a regular basis replacing the filters, and changing or washing the brushes when needed.

6. iRobot Roomba 980

The Roomba is iRobot's flagship robot vacuum. It's costly, but it's the best robot vacuum Robot mop you can purchase. Its self-navigating capabilities and environmental mapping are truly a marvel to behold. It also comes with more advanced automation features than most competitors, including the ability to create virtual boundary markers with its mobile app. Although the app is a little sluggish, and the 980 does spin out a bit when moving over cables, it's an extremely efficient robot vacuum.

We really like the 980 due to its iAdapt2.0 navigation sensors as well as visual simultaneity mapping and localisation (or vSLAM) to remember the floor plan of your home. It will use this information to create a consistent, efficient cleaning path through each cycle. The result is cleaner floors and a more efficient vacuum than most high-end robots.

Other features include dual multi-surface rubber brushes which pick up dirt from carpet and hard floors and the spinning brush that sweeps debris into the bin of the robotic vacuum. Its floor tracking sensors help it navigate across furniture and along edges, and Cliff Detect prevents the Roomba from falling down stairs. It can also return automatically to the base station for simple recharges between sessions. The bin capacity and battery life of the 980 aren't as impressive as other robot vacuums. However, it's a reliable and solid machine that will keep floors clean for many hours.
