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 can even dry and clean its own dual mop pads. It also has the greatest suction power of any robot we've examined, with 8,800Pa. It also allows you to organize cleaning schedules and save maps of your house from its app. 1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni The X2 Omni is the latest model in Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuums and mops. This wet-dry model is equipped with Ecovacs' new AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that provides improved mapping and obstacle avoidance. It uses dual laser LiDAR, similar to the one used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan an area up to 32 feet across by 360 degrees. This translates to more accurate mapping and faster response times and better cleaning accuracy. It also features a rotating mopping pad made of chenille fabric, which makes it much easier to scrub difficult spots unlike traditional mops. During my testing the X2 Omni took just over one minute to wash its pad and begin work, and I noticed that it was much more accurate than the previous models, which seemed to follow a grid route around rooms. It was able to navigate around corners and edges of my rooms as well as make “Zambani patterns” up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station regularly to empty the dust bin and clean the mop using hot water, before starting another cleaning task. Like other Ecovacs products, the X2 Omni is simple to set up and start using. It takes just a few minutes to secure the dock into place, plug it in and connect to your home Wi-Fi network. You can then open the app to start your first cleaning project. I was able dive into the settings and modify my floor plan in about 15 minutes, incorporating restricted areas for sweeping and mopping, reworking my wall-mounted furniture placements, and so on. The X2 Omni was impressive in my tests. It scored highly in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal. It also achieved near-perfect results in edge and crevices cleaning. 2. Deebot T10 Omni The EcoVACS T10 Omni is an extremely powerful vacuum and mopping machine. It is the most advanced model of the brand's T-line, and features a new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide more effective cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also has YIKO built-in, a first-of-its-kind natural language processing technology that lets it respond to a variety of voice commands. You can make use of the ECOVACS app to map your home, set up cleaning schedules, and adjust settings. The biggest issue with the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum according to your needs. This is fine for the majority of households, but not for people who have a busy schedule. The Deebot T10 is an excellent robot vacuum that delivers impressive results. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the particles we tossed at it our hardwood floors and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It did an excellent job on carpets and tiles and removed 99percent of dirt. This robot mop and vacuum has large docking stations which offers cool water auto-cleaning for its mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L plastic bag that is easy to replace, and hot-air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that allows frequent washing and drying between mopping runs. The Deebot T10 comes with an integrated wash tray into its base, similar to other mopping robots. It uses the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads when it is using them. But it doesn't use a removable tray, which means that dirty water dust, dirt and other grime slowly build up on 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 realm of mopping. It features improved intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts to the surface you are cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't quite deliver on its promise to be a one-stop shop for floor cleaning. The X8 Hybrid looks like a standard robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular shape, sweeping wheels and an elevated space for sensors. On the opposite side, you'll see a motorised floorbrush and a single side brush that pushes dust from the edges to the main path of its' mouth.' It's smaller than the main brushes on the rival iRobot Roomba S9, which I found makes it easier to get under chairs and sofas. Its mapping system allows you to define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. It has a tendency of bumping into things like its charging station, and isn't great in climbing over carpets. It was effective in getting pet hair off of bare floors. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5% kitty litter. The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has a set of physical buttons at its base. These buttons let you select the cleaning mode, or turn off the robot. These buttons can be used to set up zones that are not allowed to be visited and to view real-time maps. It's also a little chatty and will let you know what it's planning to do next (start cleaning) or notify you if something isn't working. 4. ILIFE A4s This model is high-tech and sucks up pet hair, kibble and other messes with remarkable efficiency and maneuvers flawlessly around furniture legs. It also comes with a remarkable feature set that includes two cleaning modes and a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is operated via the Neato App, where cleanings are scheduled and maintenance requirements are tracked. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes that have a mix of carpet and hard floors. However, it will need some planning ahead to avoid getting entangled with power cables, toys, or other obstacles that might be unexpected. This robot did well during our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything, from one rice grain to several pet food pieces in only one swipe. It had some issues with rugs however, generally speaking, this vacuum cleaner is great for rooms with both types of flooring as well as a mixture of pets. The A4s Pro is expensive but it's an excellent purchase for those who want to to leave the house hands-free so they can do other things or perform household chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that boosts suction to tackle tough dirt or spills. It also includes a battery-powered ElectroWall to establish boundaries for the robot. This budget-friendly option from a well-known brand is the most affordable robot we've tested to date and offers an incredible value for cost. The basic navigation system employs a super-basic random pathing algorithm and lacks 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 was very effective in our testing, picking up stray pet hair and other debris effortlessly. 5. Shark iQ Shark's iQ isn't as robust as the Roomba S9, but it does better overall at cleaning up pet hair on all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning carpets with low piles as well as floors that are not covered. It also utilizes intelligent-pathing navigational software to improve maneuverability. It can be sent to a specific area, and includes a variety of advanced automation features including no-go zones and schedules. It also lets you to pause and resume cleaning sessions and is perfect for households with pets.

It is compatible with a smartphone application that lets you change the settings of your vacuum and schedule cleaning times ahead of time. The app allows you to view the iQ's remaining battery life and also receive push notifications about any issues it encounters during a cleaning cycle. You can utilize your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device or, if you do not have either of these options, you can mark zones with physical boundary strips. www.robotvacuummops.com for cleaning floors that aren't clean, and is able to do well on shaggy and low-pile carpets. However it's not able to provide the same level of autonomy as our top picks. It's also costly, and its recurring expenses can add up over time.
