The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop combination is the ideal option for pets that shed fur. It can vacuum, mop and clean its own mop pad with dual mop pads.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet/dry model includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which gives improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system uses dual laser LiDAR that is similar to that used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This translates to more accurate mapping, faster response time, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with an alternating mopping mat made of chenille, making it much easier to scrub hard spots than traditional mopping. During my tests the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and was ready to go. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models which seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was capable of navigating my room’s by the corners and edges as well as create a “Zambani pattern” across the center of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station frequently to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water before starting another clean-up job.

Like other Ecovacs products The X2 Omni is easy to set up and begin using. It takes only a few minutes to secure the dock into position, plug it in and connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Then, you’re able to start the app and begin with your first cleaning task. I was able customize my floor plan in about 15 minutes. This included creating restricted areas for sweeping and mopping, reworking the placement of furniture that is mounted on walls and more. The X2 Omni performed impressively during my tests, scoring excellent scores for debris removal and pet hair cleaning and near-perfect results for crevice and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you’re looking for a strong combination of mopping and vacuuming, check out the EcoVACS Deebot Omni. It is the most advanced model of the T-line of the brand and comes with a new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that uses dual-spinning brushes for superior cleaning over traditional oscillating scrubbers. 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 map your house, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The most significant issue with the T10 Omni is that it can’t switch from mopping to vacuuming in one run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum in accordance with your needs. This is great for the majority of households, but not so for those who lead busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is a great robot vacuum that produces impressive results. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood flooring. This is an excellent performance. It was a success on tiles and carpets and removed the majority of dirt.

This robotic vacuum and mop has a large docking station which offers cool water cleaning for its mop pads, 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 large reservoir of water that allows it to be washed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

The Deebot T10 features an integrated wash tray into its base, similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to rinse and dry the mop pads while using them. However, it doesn’t come with an open tray, which means dirty water, dust, and other grime gradually builds up in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

While Anker-owned Eufy is well-known in the world of robot vacuums, this model is its first foray into the world of mopping. It has upgraded intelligence, multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts for the type of surface you’re cleaning. It’s a mid-range robotic cleaner that’s stylish, even if its claim of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning doesn’t quite come true.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, sweeper wheels and an elevated sensor area. On the other hand you’ll find a motorized floorbrush and a single side brush that pushes dust from the edges into the main path of its’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.

Its mapping system allows you to create no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. However, it has a tendency to bump into things (including its own charging dock) and isn’t the best in climbing over carpets. It was great at getting pet hair off of carpets. In our tests, it picked up 89.5% kitty litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has physical buttons located at the base of the. These buttons let you choose the cleaning mode, or turn the robot off/on. You can also use these to set no-go zones as well as see maps in real-time. It’s also a little chatty and will tell what it’s going to do next (start cleaning) or alert you if something isn’t working.

In our tests of hardwood floors and kibble, this robot performed well and picked up everything from one grain of rice to several pieces of dog food in just one pass. It had some issues with rugs, but generally speaking this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms that contain both types of flooring as well as a mixture of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive but it’s an excellent purchase for those who want to to leave the house without hands so that they can get out and do other things or do chores. The A4s Pro also offers a handy auto cleaning mode that automatically boosts suction power to handle tough dirt and spills, and is equipped with batteries that power the ElectroWall that lets you place boundaries where the robot is not allowed to be allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly option from a popular upstart brand is the cheapest robot we’ve tested to date and offers an outstanding value for money. Its basic navigation system uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm and lacks room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time efficient than other models on this list. However it’s still able to navigate under furniture and into corners, and its mopping mode worked very well in our testing it picked up pet hair and other debris effortlessly.

5. Shark iQ

Shark’s iQ isn’t as robust as the Roomba S9, but it does a better job overall in getting rid of pet hair from all surfaces. It cleans floors that are bare more thoroughly and does a fair job on carpets with a low pile and also makes use of smart-pathing navigational technology for superior maneuverability. It can be positioned to a specific location, and has a suite of advanced automation features, including no-go zones and schedules. It also allows you to suspend and resume cleaning sessions making it ideal for homes with pets.

The app allows you to check the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive push notifications in the event of any issues during the cleaning session. You can utilize your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you do not have either of these options, you can mark areas with physical boundary strips.

The iQ is great for cleaning floors that aren’t clean, and is able to do well on carpets with low pile and shaggy edges. However, it doesn’t offer the same level of autonomy as our top picks. It’s also costly and its recurring cost can increase.
