The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets that shed fur, a robot vacuum/mop combo is among the top floor cleaning solutions. The machine can mop and vacuum and even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we've tested, at 8,800Pa. It also allows you to set up cleaning schedules and save maps of your house from 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 equipped with Ecovacs' new AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system uses dual laser LiDAR that is similar to the one used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet across by 360 degrees. That translates into more precise mapping, faster response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with a rotating mopping mat made of chenille, which makes it much easier to scrub hard spots than conventional mopping. In my tests it was able to clean the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and was ready to go. I noticed that it was more precise than other models, which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was capable of navigating my room's' corners and edges, as well as create a "Zambani pattern" up and down the center of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station regularly to empty the trash bin and clean the mop with hot water prior to starting another clean-up job.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is simple to set up and begin using. Snap the dock into position, plug it in and pair it with your WiFi network at home. It only takes about a minute. Then, you can launch the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able customize my floor plan within 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping as well as rearranging the positioning of wall-mounted furniture, and more. The X2 Omni was impressive during my tests. It scored high in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal, and also was near-perfect in its results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you're looking for a strong combination of vacuuming and mopping then check out the EcoVACS Deebot Omni. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line offered by the company and features the new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system, which makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than the traditional scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a unique natural language processing technology that lets it respond to a wide range of voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you design your home, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The main drawback of the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between mopping and vacuuming in a single run. The T10 Omni comes with two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum in accordance with your needs. This is fine for most households, but not so for people who have a busy schedule.

The Deebot T10 is a fantastic robot vacuum that delivers impressive results. It was able to remove more than 96% of the dust we threw at it on our hardwood flooring which is an impressive performance. It did an excellent job on carpets and tiles and removed 99% of dirt.

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

Like other mopping machines, the Deebot T10 Omni comes with a wash tray at its base that rinses and dries the mop pads as it uses them. However, it doesn't have a removable tray, which means that dirty water, dust and other grime slowly builds up in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

This is the first model of mopping from Anker that is renowned for its robot vacuums. It comes with enhanced smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, as well as twin-turbine suction technology that automatically adjusts to the floor you're cleaning. It's a mid-range cleaner that's stylish, even if its claim of being a one-stop shop for floor cleaning doesn't make sense.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a regular robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular shape with sweeping wheels and an elevated space for sensors. Turn it upside down, however there's an electric floor brush and a single side sweeper brush that carries dirt from the edges into the main pathway of the robot's 'mouth'. It's smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under couches and chairs.

The mapping system is quite sophisticated, allowing you to set no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. It has a habit of hitting things, including its own charging station, and isn't the best at navigating over carpets. It was great at picking up pet hair from the floor. In our tests it was able to pick up 89.5 percent of kitty litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has physical buttons at its base. These buttons let you choose the cleaning mode, or turn the robot on/off. You can also use them to set no-go zones as well as see maps in real-time. It's a bit chatty, as well, and will inform you of what it plans to do next ("start cleaning") or alert you that something's not right (it isn't able to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model sucks up pet hair, kibble and other particles with top-quality efficiency and maneuvers flawlessly around furniture legs. It comes with a feature set that is impressive, including two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled via the Neato App where cleaning schedules are set and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a carpet, hard floors and carpet, but it requires some advance planning to avoid getting stuck on power cords, toys or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

In our tests of hardwood floors and kibble the robot performed very well and was able to pick up everything from one grain of rice to multiple pieces of dog food in one sweep. It had a bit of trouble transitioning to rugs, but in general this vacuum cleaner is great for large rooms with flooring of all kinds and a variety of pets.

It is a bit pricey, 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 take care of chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that increases suction to get rid of tough dirt or spills. It also comes with a battery powered ElectroWall to set boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly option from a popular upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've ever tested and provides an incredible value for money. Its navigation system is basic and uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm that isn't equipped with room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time efficient than other models on this list. However it's still able reach under furniture and in corners and its mopping feature was very effective in our testing, picking up stray pet hair and other debris effortlessly.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as robust as the Roomba S9, but it does a better job overall in cleaning up pet hair on all surfaces. It is more effective of cleaning carpets with low piles as well as floor surfaces that are bare. It also utilizes the smart-pathing software for better maneuverability. It can be directed to a specific location, and comes with a range of advanced automation features, including no-go zones and schedules. It lets you suspend G10 Max: Powerful And Smart Robot Vacuum Cleaner resume cleaning making it ideal for homes with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent tangles and can carry up to 30 day's worth of dirt. It also has an assortment of angled side brushes that dig deep into corners, and its multi-stage filtration system captures dust, dander and allergens for a cleaner air.

This vacuum feels solid and well-built. It has a smartphone app that lets you change the settings for your vacuum and plan cleaning sessions ahead of time. The app lets you see the remaining battery life of the iQ and receive push notifications in the event of any problems during a cleaning session. You can use your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you don't have either of those options, you can mark zones with physical boundary strips.

The iQ does a decent job of clearing bare flooring and doing a good job on low-pile and shaggy carpet however it lacks the same level of autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly, and its recurring expenses can add up over time.
