The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop combination is the best solution for pets that shed fur. The machine can mop and vacuum, and can even dry and clean its own dual mop pads.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we've examined, with 8000Pa. It can also save your home's maps and schedule cleaning schedules using its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

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

It also comes with a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard spots as opposed to traditional mop. In my testing, the X2 Omni took just over an hour to clean its pad and begin work, and I noticed that it was more precise than the previous models, which seemed to follow a gridded route around rooms. It was able to navigate the corners and edges of my rooms, and also make "Zambani patterns" both in and out of the middle of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station on a regular basis to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water before starting another cleaning job.

The X2 Omni is just as easy to use and set up as other Ecovacs products. It takes just minutes to put the dock in place, plug it in, and pair with your Wi-Fi network at home. Then, you can start the app and begin with your first task of cleaning. I was able to modify my floor plan in less than 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping and rearranging the layout of wall-mounted furniture, and more. The X2 Omni impressed me during my tests. It scored high in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal, and achieved near-perfect results in edge and crevices cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The T10 Omni from ECOVACS is a powerful mopping and vacuum machine. It is the most advanced of the brand's T-line and features the brand's new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that uses dual-spinning brushes for superior cleaning over traditional oscillating scrubbers. It also has YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is a first of its kind. This allows it to respond to a variety of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, set up cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single run. The T10 Omni comes with two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum according to your needs. This is fine for most households, but not for those with busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is a fantastic robot vacuum that gives impressive results. It vacuumed up more than 96% of the debris we threw at it on our hardwood floors, which is an outstanding performance. It also did a fantastic job on tile and carpet cleaning up more than 99% of dirt and debris.

This robotic vacuum and mop has large docking stations which offers cool water cleaning for the mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L bag that's simple to replace, and hot-air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also comes with a large tank of water that allows it to be rinsed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

The Deebot T10 comes with an integrated wash tray into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to wash and dry its mop pads while using them. But it doesn't use an open tray, meaning 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 mopping model made by Anker that is renowned for its robot vacuums. It comes with improved smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, along with twin turbine suction technology that adjusts to the floor you're cleaning. It's a mid-range cleaner that's appealing even if the claim of being a one-stop shop for floor cleaning doesn't be realized.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a standard robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular shape with sweeping wheels, as well as a raised space for sensors. On the opposite side you'll find a motorized floorbrush as well as a single side brush that pushes dust away from the edges and into the main path of its' mouth.' It's a bit 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 is reasonably sophisticated that allows you to create no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. It has a tendency of hitting things such as its charging station, and isn't great in climbing over carpets. It did a good job of removing pet hair from floors that were bare however, and in our tests it picked up 89.5% of kitty litter - a figure that is higher than all but the most powerful robots we've tested.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has physical buttons on its base. These buttons allow you to select the cleaning mode, or turn off the robot. You can also use these to set no-go zones and view real-time maps. It's also a bit chatty, and will inform you of what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or notify you when something isn't right.

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model can pick up pet hair, kibble and other messes with remarkable effectiveness. It can also move effortlessly around furniture legs. It also comes with a remarkable feature set that includes two cleaning modes and a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It is Wi-Fi-enabled and is best controlled through the Neato app which allows cleaning to be scheduled and the overall maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is a great option for homes with a mix of hard and carpet floors. However it will require some planning ahead to avoid getting caught by power cables, 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 take everything from one grain of rice to multiple pieces of dog food in one pass. It had some trouble with rugs but, in general this vacuum cleaner is perfect for large rooms that have floors of different types as well as a mix of pets.

It's a bit expensive however, if you are able to afford it, this is a great option for those who wish to be able to leave their homes free to do other tasks or complete chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning feature that increases suction to get rid of difficult dirt or spills. It also includes a battery-powered ElectroWall to set boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly choice from a well-known brand is the cheapest model we've tested yet and offers an incredible value for money. Its basic navigation system uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm and lacks room mapping capabilities, making it less time efficient than other models on this list. It's still able to navigate under furniture and into the corners. And its mopping mode was very effective in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't quite as sturdy as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at getting rid of Revolutionize Pet Hair Cleaning with Robot Vacuums hair on all surfaces. It gets rid of floors with less thoroughly and does a fair job on low-pile carpet, and it uses smart-pathing navigational technology for superior maneuverability. It also allows you to transfer it to a particular area, and its advanced suite of automation features includes no-go zones as well as scheduling. It lets you stop and resume cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes that have pets.

Its self cleaning brushroll prevents tangles and can hold up to 30 days of dirt. It comes with angled side brushes to reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system that captures dust, allergens and dander.

This robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. It works with an app for smartphones that lets you change the settings of your vacuum and schedule cleaning sessions ahead of time. The app allows you to see the remaining battery life of the iQ, and send push notifications if it encounters any issues during a cleaning session. You can make use of your voice to control it with an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you do not have either of these, you can mark off areas with physical boundary marker strips.

The iQ excels for cleaning floors that aren't clean and is able to do an adequate job with carpets that are sagging and low-pile. However, it doesn't offer the same level of autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly and the recurring expenses can add up over time.
