The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo A robot vacuum/mop combination is the ideal solution for pets who shed fur. This machine can mop, vacuum and clean its own dual mop pad. It also has the most suction power of any robot we have examined, with 8,000Pa. It can also set up cleaning schedules and save maps of your house through its app. 1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This model is dry and wet. It is equipped with the latest AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system from Ecovacs, which provides improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. It uses dual-laser LiDAR — similar to what you'd find in self-driving cars and is able to scan up to 32 feet in 270 degrees. This results in more precise mapping, faster response time, and greater cleaning accuracy. It also comes with an alternating mopping mat made of chenille. This makes it much easier to scrub hard-to-clean spots than conventional mops. In my testing the X2 Omni took just over an hour to wash its pad before getting 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 able to navigate the 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 frequently to empty the dustbin and clean the mop using hot water prior to beginning another cleaning task. The X2 Omni is just as easy to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. Snap the dock into position then plug it in and pair it with your home WiFi network. It only takes a few minutes. 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 restricted areas for sweeping and mopping as well as rearranging the positioning of wall-mounted furniture and much more. The X2 Omni performed impressively during my tests, with outstanding scores in cleaning pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as near-perfect results for edge and crevice cleaning. 2. Deebot T10 Omni If you need a powerful combination of mopping and vacuuming then check out the ECOVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line from the company and features the brand new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that utilizes a dual-spinning brush for superior cleaning than conventional scrubbers. It comes with YIKO, an artificial language processing technology that is the first of its kind. This allows it to respond to a variety of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, establish cleaning schedules and adjust settings. The biggest con with the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between mopping and vacuuming in one run. The T10 Omni comes with two modes that require you to attach and remove mop heads according to your needs. This is fine for most households, but not so for those with busy lives. The Deebot T10 Omni is a fantastic robot vacuum that delivers outstanding results in our pet hair tests. It vacuumed up more than 96% of the particles we tossed at it our hardwood flooring and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It did a great job on carpets and tiles cleaning up the majority of dirt. This robotic mop and vacuum has 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 comes with a large tank of water that allows it to be rinsed and dried more often between mopping sessions. As with other mopping robots, the Deebot T10 Omni features a wash tray in its base that rinses and dries the mop pads as it uses them. It doesn't have a removable tray so dust, dirt and other grime can slowly build up in the bottom. 3. RoboVac X8 hybrid This is the first mopping model from Anker which is well-known for its robot vacuums. It offers upgraded smarts, multiple maps support and LIDAR scanning, as well as twin turbine suction technology that adapts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robotic cleaner that's appealing even if the promise of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning does not come true. The X8 Hybrid appears to be an ordinary robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, sweeping wheels, and a raised sensor area. However, flip it over there's an electric floor brush as well as a single side sweeper brush that carries dirt from the edges of the machine into the main path of the robot's'mouth'. It's a bit 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 is reasonably sophisticated and allows you to set no-mop zones as well as specific cleaning zones. It has a tendency of hitting things like its charging station, and isn't great at navigating over carpets. It was capable of removing pet hair from floors that were bare however, and in our tests, it took in 89.5% of kitty litter – a figure that is higher than all but the most powerful robots we've examined. Although it's controlled through the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with a series of physical buttons on its base that allow you to choose the cleaning mode and turn the robot off and on. You can also use them to set no-go zones as well as see real-time maps. It's a little chatty, too, and will let you know what it plans to do next (“start cleaning”) or even warn you that something's not right (it does not have enough power to charge, for example). 4. ILIFE A4s This high-tech model can remove pet hair, kibble, and other messes with remarkable efficiency. It also maneuvers perfectly around furniture legs. It comes with a set of features that is impressive, such as two cleaning modes as well as an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacles avoidance technology. It is Wi-Fi-enabled and is best controlled via the Neato app which allows cleaning to be scheduled and the overall maintenance requirements are monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes with a mix of hard and carpet floors. However it will require some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with toys, power cables, or other obstacles that might be unexpected. The robot performed well in our tests of hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything from a single rice grain to a variety of pet food pieces in just one pass. It had a bit of trouble transitioning to rugs, however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms with flooring of all kinds and a variety of pets. It's a bit expensive, but if you can manage the price, it's an excellent buy for those who want to leave their home hands-free to go about other tasks or complete chores. The A4s Pro also offers a handy auto cleaning mode that automatically increases suction power to deal with tough dirt and spills, and is equipped with a battery-powered ElectroWall that lets you set boundaries that the robot isn't allowed to be allowed to enter. This budget-friendly option from a popular upstart brand is the cheapest model we've ever tested and provides 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 makes it less efficient than other models in this list. However, it's still able to navigate under furniture and into corners and its mopping mode performed well during our tests it picked up pet hair and other debris easily. 5. Shark iQ Shark's iQ isn't quite as robust as the Roomba S9, but it does better overall at cleaning up pet hair on all surfaces. It clears bare floors more thoroughly and does a fair job on carpets with a low pile, and it utilizes smart-pathing navigational technology to provide better maneuverability. It also lets you send it to a specific area, and its advanced suite of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It even lets you stop and restart cleaning sessions and is perfect for homes with pets. Its self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent knots and holds up to 30 days of dirt. It has a set of angled side brushes that can reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system to capture dust, allergens, and dander. The iQ robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. robotvacuummops has an app for smartphones that lets you change the vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions ahead of time. The app also allows you to view the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive notifications via push for any issues it encounters during a cleaning cycle. You can utilize your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, and if you don't have either of those options, you can mark areas with physical boundary marker strips. The iQ is great at cleaning bare floors, and does well on carpets with low pile and shaggy edges. However it's not able to provide the same level autonomy as our top picks. It is also expensive and the cost of recurring use can be quite costly.
