Why We Love Robot Vacuum And Mop And You Should Too

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more adept, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling various floor types. Choose models that allow you to select between a variety of modes, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

Many of the best models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that allows you to save maps, create schedules and select cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combos on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate and create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set schedules and customize the S1's behavior.

When I tested the S1 It was quick to map our downstairs, which is home to Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, along with medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was able to drive right up to walls without crashing into them, and even managed to cross raised room thresholds with no issue, though it occasionally was unable to navigate down the stairs in one step. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and lifted itself when it reached carpets or rugs.

The docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank on board with clean, ozonated water before each mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 cleaning sessions, but it will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.

The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. It is necessary to regularly wash out the dirty tank to keep it from becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors frequently to avoid them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, especially compared to other models which require more effort to maintain.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a good vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that is able to easily pick up dirt and other debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty robust, however it is sometimes hung in the small area mats or rugs that I have in my house (which is something you can reduce by defining a virtual boundary within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also excellent, with a pair spinning mop pads that lift and scrub the floor instead of drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the basestation when needed. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station when required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was launched earlier this year. But their latest flagship model comes with even more impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results and is simple to maintain. This makes it a top contender on our top list of robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush guarantee an efficient, customized clean.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is a great choice on hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned the most filthy areas well, and avoiding tangled pet hairs and other dirt. The sweeping performance is augmented by a side brush that extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extending mop pad that is placed along baseboards.

Its navigation is smart that can navigate narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without stepping back. It can move from one area to another without changing direction, which is a handy feature for homes with several rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than that of some competitors and leaves a wide space between obstacles. This could lead to missing spots.

The interface of the app is easy to use and streamlined. It should be simple to use for both novices and experienced users. The app allows you to plan and manage cleanings, change mopping and suction power settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and more. It can be operated via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, allowing you to monitor its progress from any location. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

A robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum does an excellent job of removing dirt and debris however, it's not able to reach every last particle of dust. It is important to clean regularly, once a week. This is especially 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 vacuums uk that was designed to accomplish exactly that. It is easy to connect it to your WiFI network at home and it works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is an edgier version of the company's expensive S-series models. It includes the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but saves on cost by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a lower-cost plastic body.

The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any trouble with high-pile carpets and area carpets, but it didn't remove kitty litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we've tested. It also uses a unique system to map your home this really helps it get into corners and tight spaces that other vacuums are unable to reach.
