The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets that shed fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the top floor cleaning solutions. The machine can mop, vacuum and clean its own mop pad with dual mop pads.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we have tested, with 8000Pa. It also allows you to set up cleaning schedules and save your house's maps through its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs line of robot vacuum-mop hybrids. This model is dry and wet. It includes the updated AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system from Ecovacs, which provides improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system is dual-laser LiDAR which is similar to what you'll find in self-driving vehicles and is able to scan up to 32 feet wide by 270 degrees. That translates into more precise mapping, faster response times, as well as better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with a rotating mopping mat constructed of chenille. This makes it much easier to scrub hard spots than traditional mops. 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 precise than other models that seemed to follow the grid of 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 also returned to its OMNI station on a regular basis to empty the trash bin and clean the mop using hot water before starting another clean-up job.

The X2 Omni is as simple to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. It takes only a few minutes to snap the dock into position, plug it in and connect it to your Wi-Fi network at home. Then, you can launch the app and begin with your first task of cleaning. I was able to customize my floor plan within 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping, reworking the placement of furniture on the wall and much more. The X2 Omni performed impressively during my tests, with excellent scores for cleaning pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in edge and crevice cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The ECOVACS T10 Omni is an extremely powerful mopping and vacuum machine. It is the most advanced of the T-line from the company and features the OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than traditional scrubbing. It also comes with YIKO built-in, a unique natural language processing tech that allows it to respond to a wide range of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, establish cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The main drawback of the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch between mopping and vacuuming in a single 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 for people who have a busy schedule.

The Deebot T10 is a great robot vacuum that delivers impressive results. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood flooring. This is an excellent performance. It did a great job on tiles and carpets cleaning up 99% of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mop has an extensive docking system that allows for automatic cleaning with cool water for the mop pads. It also has an auto-emptying 3L bag which is easy to replace, and hot air drying for fast and easy maintenance. It also has a large reservoir of water that allows it to be washed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Like many other mopping robots, the Deebot T10 Omni comes with a wash tray at its base, which rinses and dries the mop pads as it utilizes them. It doesn't have a removable tray so dirt, dust and other grime can slowly build up at the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

This is the first model of mopping from Anker which is well-known for its robot vacuums. It is equipped with improved intelligence with multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts to the type of surface you're cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't exactly live up to its promise to be an all-in-one solution for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular form, the sweeping wheels, as well as an elevated sensor area. However, flip it over you'll see a motorised floor brush plus one side sweeper brush that carries dirt from the edges into the main pathway of the Deenkee Robot Vacuum: Powerful Quiet WiFi-Enabled Cleaning (to Robotvacuummops)'s mouth. It's smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under chairs and couches.

Its mapping system is fairly sophisticated, allowing you to set no-mop zones as well as specific cleaning zones. However it tends to bump into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't the best in climbing over carpets. It did a great job of picking up pet hair from floors that were bare however, and during our tests, it took in 89.5% of kitty litter - a figure that is higher than all but the most powerful robots we've examined.

Although it's controlled through 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 turn the robot off and on. These buttons can be used to create areas that aren't allowed to enter and access real-time maps. It's a bit chatty, and will let you know what it's planning to do next ("start cleaning") or even warn you that something is wrong (it does not have enough power to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This model is high-tech and sucks up pet hair, kibble and other debris with top-notch efficiency and maneuvers flawlessly around furniture legs. It also has an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes, a self-emptying dock, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best robot vacuum for pet hair self emptying controlled through the Neato app where cleaning can be scheduled and the overall maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent option for homes with a large carpet, hard carpet and flooring, however it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck on power cords, toys or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

This robot was very successful in our tests of hardwood floors and kibble. It was able to pick up everything from one rice grain to several dog food pieces with just one pass. It had some difficulty transitioning to carpets, however, this vacuum cleaner is great for rooms that have both types of flooring and a variety of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive, but it's a great buy for people who want to be able to leave the house with no hands on so they can take on other tasks or do chores. The A4s Pro also offers a convenient auto-cleaning mode that automatically increases suction power to deal with tough dirt and spills, and comes with a battery-powered ElectroWall which allows you to set boundaries that the robot is not allowed to enter.

This budget-friendly model from a well-known upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've tested to date and offers an exceptional value for the money. The basic navigation system is based on a very basic random pathing algorithm, and it's not equipped to map rooms. This renders it less efficient than other models in this list. It's still able to get under furniture and into corners. 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 well-built as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at 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 it uses smart-pathing navigational technology for superior maneuverability. It can be directed to a particular area and includes a variety of advanced automation features, including no-go zones and schedules. It can even stop and restart the cleaning process, so it's perfect for homes with pets.

The self-cleaning brushroll eliminates tangles and can hold up to 30 day's worth of dirt. It has a set of side brushes that are angled to reach into corners, as well as a multi-stage filter system that captures 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 lets you see the remaining battery life and receive notifications via push for any issues it encounters during a cleaning process. You can use your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device or, if you don't have either options, you can mark areas with physical boundary marker strips.

The iQ does a good job of cleaning floors and doing a fair job on shaggy and low-pile carpet however, it doesn't have the same level of autonomy as our top picks. It is also expensive and its monthly costs can be quite costly.
