The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

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

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

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum-mop robots. This model that is dry and wet comes with the Bagotte BG600: Upgraded Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which offers 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 up to 32 feet wide by 270 degrees. That translates into more precise mapping, quicker response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also has an alternating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard areas than traditional mops. During my testing the X2 Omni took just over a minute to clean its pad and get to work. I also noticed that it was much more accurate than the previous models, which were able to follow a grid-like path around rooms. It was adept at navigating 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 dustbin and wash the mop with hot water prior to beginning another cleaning job.

Like other Ecovacs products, the X2 Omni is simple to set up and start using. Snap the dock into position connect it to the power outlet and pair it with your home WiFi network. It takes only some minutes. You can then open the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to modify my floor plan within 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping as well as rearranging the positioning of furniture on the wall and much more. The X2 Omni performed impressively in my tests, achieving outstanding scores in debris removal and pet hair cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in crevice and edge cleaning.

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 offered by the company and features the brand new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than conventional scrubbers. It comes with YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is the first of its kind. It can respond to a variety of voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you map your house, create cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The main drawback of the T10 Omni is that it's not able to switch between mopping and vacuuming in one run. Both modes require that you attach and take off the mop heads according to the need, which is fine for most homes, but isn't an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles.

The Deebot T10 Omni is a superb robot vacuum and delivers impressive results in our tests for pet hair. It removed more than 96% of the 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 other debris.

This robot mop and vacuum comes with a large docking station which offers cool water auto-cleaning for its mop pads, automatic emptying into a 3L bag that's simple to replace, and hot air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that permits more frequent rinses and dries between mopping runs.

As with other mopping robots, the Deebot T10 Omni features a wash tray in its base that rinses and dry its mop pads as it uses them. However, it doesn't come with a removable tray, meaning that dirty water, dust and other grime accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

While Anker's Eufy is well known in the robot vacuum space This model is the first venture into the world of mopping. It has 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 tempting mid-range robot vacuum cleaner however it doesn't exactly live up to its promise of being an all-in-one solution for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, sweeper wheels and an elevated sensor. Flip it over, however there's an electric floor brush as well as a single side sweeper brush which pushes dirt from the edges of the machine into the main path of the robot's 'mouth'. It's smaller than the main brushes on the rival iRobot Roomba S9, which I found to be easier to access under chairs and sofas.

Its mapping system allows you to set up no-mop areas and specific cleaning zones. However it tends to get into things (including its charging dock) and isn't the best in climbing over rugs. It was effective in collecting pet hair off bare floors. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5% kitty litter.

Although it's controlled through the app and the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with physical buttons on its base, which allow you to select a cleaning mode, and turn the robot off and on. These buttons can be used to set up areas that aren't allowed to enter and access real-time maps. It's also a little chatty and will inform you of what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or notify you if something is wrong.

4. ILIFE A4s

This model of high-tech vacuum is able to pick up pet hair, kibble and other messes with remarkable effectiveness. It also maneuvers perfectly 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-avoiding technology. It's Wi-Fi enabled and best controlled through the Neato app, where cleanings can be scheduled and overall maintenance needs be monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes that have a mixture of hard and carpet flooring. However, it will need some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with toys, power cables, or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

This robot did well in our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It was able to pick up everything, from a single rice grain to several dog food pieces, with only one swipe. It did have some issues with rugs but, generally speaking this vacuum cleaner is perfect for rooms with different flooring types and a mix of pets.

It is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, it's an excellent buy 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 the most difficult spills or dirt. It also includes a battery-powered ElectroWall to define the boundaries of the robot.

This budget-friendly choice from a popular upstart brand is the cheapest Self-Charging Robot Vacuum: Ideal for Hard Floors we've tested to date and offers an outstanding value for cost. Its navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm, and it's not equipped to map rooms. This renders it less efficient than other models in this list. However it's still able to get under furniture and into corners and its mopping mode performed well in our testing and was able to pick up pet hair and other debris easily.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ might not be as durable, but it is better in cleaning pet hair off all surfaces. It does a better job of cleaning carpets with low piles as well as floors that are not covered. It also makes use of smart-pathing navigational software for greater maneuverability. It can be directed to a specific area, and comes with a range of advanced automation options, including no-go zones and schedules.

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

The iQ is good in cleaning floors with no dirt and does an adequate job with carpets with low pile and robotvacuummops.Com shaggy edges. However, it doesn't offer the same level autonomy as our top selections. It's also expensive and the recurring costs can become expensive over time.
