The Ultimate Guide To Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum (Solve.Pro) and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mop are becoming more capable. They pass our tests on cleaning and can take care of a variety of flooring. Find models that allow you to select from a variety of modes, and use their charging dock to self-empty and clean the stairs.

Many of the top models integrate with your smartphone. Look for an app that allows you to save maps, schedules and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate and creates maps of rooms and floors.

When I tested the S1, it was quick to locate our downstairs, which is home to Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, along with carpeting with a medium-pile and an area rug. It was capable of driving close to walls and even over thresholds that are raised without issue. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one step. The S1 also did an excellent job cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved effortlessly on its flat side against the floor, and then lifting itself when it reached carpet or carpet.

After every mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and refills its water tank with filtered, clean water ozonated. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water for deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about twelve cleaning sessions before it needs to be emptied, though this can vary based on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots that vacuum and mop, the S1 requires periodic maintenance to keep it working well. You'll need to periodically rinse out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming clogged. You will also need to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to prevent them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. But, overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially when compared to other combos that require more care.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

This all-in-1 robot mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a reliable option to meet your cleaning requirements. The robot vacuum is rated at 8,700Pa of suction and offers a number of innovative features, such as full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning to avoid obstructions and cleans furniture. Its mopping capability is impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of just drag a pad across a surface. The mops can also be dried and cleaned at the base station when needed.

This robot hoover and mop combo has a simple interface that guides you throughout the process. It comes with a hand vacuum that recharges for those areas that the robot isn't able to reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and refilled when required. It also has a range of useful settings for fine-tuning your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a great vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that is able to easily pick up dust and debris that other robots that vacuum and mop have trouble with. Its navigation capabilities are decent, but it can be stuck on small area mats and rugs in my home (which you can mitigate by creating virtual boundaries in the app). Its mopping is quite good as well, with a pair of spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub floors instead of simply dragging the pad over it. The mops are cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station when required. The mops are also replenished at the top of the station as required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was launched earlier this year. However, their latest flagship model is packed with impressive features. It boasts fantastic cleaning results and hands-free maintenance, making it a clear contender for our top robot vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a long side brush will give you an efficient, customized clean.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It works equally well on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our tests' most filthy areas well, and keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other mess. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by a side brush that extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extending mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is smart that can navigate tight spaces and climbing the stairs without a hitch. It can go from one room to another without having to reverse direction. This is a great feature for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than some competitors, however, and tends to leave a wide margin around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.

The interface of the app is simple and well-organized. It should be simple to use by both novice and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings, alter the suction power and mopping settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and more. It is accessible via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri which allows you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. However, you will need a stable internet connection to use it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum can do a fantastic job of picking up dirt and debris, but it can't always reach every last bit of dust. It is important to clean frequently, every week. This is especially true for dust that collects in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums and mop, is made to do exactly that. It's easy to connect to your Wi-Fi at home network and works with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful addition to your cleaning routine.

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 less expensive plastic body.

Even though it's not able to mop floors, the Q5 still has some of the best mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot at this price. It has a suction power of 5500Pa and an automatic-empty system, so you don't have to empty the bin by hand each time. It also has a clever app that lets you set your floor's type and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system that allows hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with a 2700Pa power to tackle dirt and pet hair on carpets as well as hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have problems with carpets with high piles or area rugs, but it couldn't remove cat litter or cable tangles that's not a surprise given that it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we have tested, it also has a unique method to map your home, which will allow it to enter places that other vacuums cannot reach. This device also stores dust in a larger dustbin that means you have empty it less frequently. It also has washable filters which further reduces costs. The robot can also recognize carpets and increase suction when needed. You can also mark areas you want the robot vacuum cleaner to avoid using the app.
