The best robot mop for pet hair Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the top floor cleaning options. It can vacuum, mop and clean its own dual mop pad.

It also has the greatest suction power of any robot we have 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 Ecovacs' new AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacles avoidance. It uses dual-laser LiDAR -- similar to what you'd find in self-driving cars -- and can scan up to 32 feet wide by 270 degrees. This results in more precise mapping, faster response times, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping mat constructed of chenille. This makes it much easier to scrub hard spots than conventional mopping. During my testing the X2 Omni took just over an hour to clean its pad and begin work. I also noticed that it was more precise than the previous models, which seemed to follow a gridded path around rooms. It was able to navigate around corners and edges of my rooms, and also make "Zambani patterns" up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station on a regular basis to empty the dust bin and clean the mop using hot water, before starting another cleaning task.

The X2 Omni is just as simple to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. It takes just a few minutes to secure the dock into position, plug it in, and pair with your Wi-Fi network at home. You can then launch the app to start your first cleaning project. I was able customize my floor plan within 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for mopping and sweeping, reworking the placement of wall-mounted furniture and much more. The X2 Omni was impressive during my tests. It scored highly in the areas of pet hair removal as well as debris removal. It also was near-perfect in its results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The T10 Omni from ECOVACS is an extremely powerful mopping and vacuum cleaner. It is the most sophisticated of the T-line offered by the brand and features the brand new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than conventional scrubbing. It comes with YIKO, an artificial language processing technology that is a first of its kind. This allows it to respond to various voice commands. You can make use of the ECOVACS app to map your home, establish cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it cannot switch between mopping and vacuuming in a single operation. The two modes require that you attach and remove the mop heads according to the need, which is fine for most homes but not a good fit for people who have a busy schedule.

The Deebot T10 is a fantastic robot vacuum that gives impressive results. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the debris we threw at it on our hardwood floors and floors, which is a remarkable performance. It did an excellent job on carpets and tiles, removing the majority of dirt.

This robotic vacuum and mop has a large docking station that offers cool water cleaning for its mop pads, automatic emptying into a 3L plastic bag that's simple to replace, and hot air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a large water tank that allows for frequent washing and drying between mopping runs.

The Deebot T10 features an integrated wash tray into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It uses the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads while using them. But it doesn't use a removable tray, which means dirty water dust, dirt and other grime build up on the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

While Anker-owned Eufy is well known in the field of robot vacuums This model is the first venture into the world of mopping. It comes with upgraded smarts, multiple maps support, and LIDAR scanning, in addition to twin-turbine suction technology that adjusts to the floor you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robotic cleaner that's appealing even if the promise of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning doesn't make sense.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a standard robotic vacuum cleaner from the top, with its circular shape with sweeping wheels and a raised area for sensors. On the opposite side there's a motorized floorbrush as well as one side brush that pushes dust away from the edges and 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 lets you define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. It is prone to hitting objects, including its own charging station, and isn't great in climbing over carpets. It was good at getting pet hair off of carpets. In our tests, it picked up 89.5% kitty litter.

While it's controllable via the app it's also controllable via the app. X8 Hybrid also comes with physical buttons on its base that allow you to choose a cleaning mode and switch the robot off or on. You can also use them to set no-go zones as well as see real-time maps. It's also a bit chatty and will tell what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or alert you if something is wrong.

4. ILIFE A4s

This model of high-tech vacuum is able to pick up pet hair, kibble and other debris with great efficiency. It also moves effortlessly around furniture legs. It comes with a feature set that is impressive, such as two cleaning modes, an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best controlled via the Neato app which allows cleaning to be scheduled and overall maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for large homes with carpet, hard carpet and floors, but it requires some advance planning to avoid getting stuck by toys, power cords or other unexpected obstacles.

In our tests of hardwood floors and kibble it performed well and picked up everything from one grain of rice up to many pieces of dog food in one pass. It did have some issues with rugs but, generally speaking the vacuum cleaner is perfect for rooms with different flooring types and a mix of pets.

It's not cheap but if you're able to manage the price, this is a great option for those who want to leave their home completely free to perform other tasks or complete chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning feature that increases suction to get rid of the most difficult spills or dirt. It also has a battery-powered ElectroWall to set boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly choice from a well-known upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've ever tested and provides an exceptional value for the price. Its basic navigation system uses a super-basic random pathing algorithm and lacks room mapping capabilities, making it less time efficient than other models on this list. It's still able get under furniture and into corners. Mopping mode performed well in our tests by picking up hairs and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not appear as durable however, it's better at cleaning pet hair from all surfaces. It does a better job of cleaning low-pile carpet and floor surfaces that are bare. It also utilizes the smart-pathing software for better mobility. It also allows you to transfer it to a particular area, and its advanced set of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It also allows you to suspend and resume cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes that have pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent tangles and can carry up to 30 day's worth of dirt. It comes with angled side brushes to reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system that collects dust, allergens, and dander.

The robot vacuum is built well and feels solid. It is compatible with a smartphone application that allows you to change the vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions in advance. The app allows you to check the remaining battery life of the iQ and receive push notifications if it encounters any issues during the cleaning session. You can use your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you don't have either of those options, you can mark areas with physical boundary strips.

The iQ can do a decent job of cleaning flooring and doing a good job on low-pile and shaggy carpet, but it doesn't have the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It is also expensive and its monthly costs can add up.
