1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It uses lidar for navigation, creating maps of floors and rooms.
The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which comprises linoleum flooring in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms and also a carpet in the middle and a large area. It was able to drive close to walls and even across raised thresholds without any problems. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved smoothly on its flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it was near carpet or rug.
The S1's docking station automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated waters prior to each mopping session. The dock also provides an extra-deep cleaning solution to the water. The S1 water tank can be able to accommodate 12 cleaning robot mop and vacuum sessions, but it will differ based on how often you use the mop.
The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. In order to do this, you'll have to rinse out the dirty water tank occasionally to prevent it from clogging. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Its robot vacuum boasts 8,700Pa of suction, and comes with a number of unique features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning to avoid obstructions and cleans furniture. Its mopping ability is impressive. Rotating mop pads actually lift floors and scrub it, rather than just dragging a pad across the surface. The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station when needed.

There are also two water tanks that can be automatically emptied or filled. It comes with a variety of useful settings that allow you to fine tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does excellent job of vacuuming, with a strong suction that effortlessly picks up most of the debris, and even smaller pieces of dust that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are robust, however it can sometimes get caught in the small carpets or area mats that I have in my home (which is something you can mitigate by defining a virtual boundary within the app). Mopping capabilities are quite good with a pair of spinning mop heads that lift and scrub the floor, rather than just dragging the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station when needed. The mops are also filled from the top of the base station when needed.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum uk vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. But their new flagship model has even more impressive features. It has outstanding cleaning performance and hands-off maintenance, making it a clear contender on our top robot vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition, and an extended side brush guarantee an efficient, customized clean.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is equally effective on hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest areas of our tests efficiently while avoiding pet hairs and other messes. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by an additional side brush that automatically moves out to tackle difficult-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.
Its navigation is intelligent it can navigate through narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without missing a step. It can move from one area to another without changing direction, which is a handy feature for larger homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is not as advanced than the ones of other competitors, and leaves a huge margin around obstacles. This can result in miss-hit spots.
The interface of the app is simple and streamlined. It should be easy to use by both novice and experienced users. The app allows you to plan and manage cleanings, change mopping and suction power settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and much more. It can be operated through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, allowing you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can also use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely, for real-time video monitoring. But, you'll need a stable Wi-Fi connection in order to operate it via the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 Pro
A robot vacuum does a great job of removing debris and dirt but it's not always able to be able to reach every particle of dust. It is important to clean frequently, every week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed specifically for this purpose. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more practical addition to your cleaning routine.
The Q5 is an edgier version of the company's more pricier S-series models, including the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It is equipped with the same LIDAR mapping sensors, but it's less expensive because it doesn't come with mopping capabilities, and also has a plastic body.
The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've seen in this price range even though it's not able to clean your floors. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an automatic emptying system, so you don't have to manually empty the bin every time. It also features a smart application that lets you choose your floor type and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic hoover refill of the water tank and wash system that allows hands-free operation.
The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power to take on dust, dirt, and pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is one of the few robots we tested that didn't have any trouble with high-pile carpets and area carpets, but it didn't clean up kitty litter or cable tangles that's not a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robovac we have ever tested. It also features an innovative mapping system that helps it reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums can't. The device also stores dust in a bigger dustbin that means you have to empty it less often. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters, which reduces the cost of using the device. The robot is also able to detect carpets and boost the suction if needed. The app also allows you to mark areas that you want it to avoid and is a great feature.
