The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets with shedding fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the best robot vacuum for pet hair floor cleaning solutions. It can vacuum, mop and clean its own mop pad with dual mop pads.

It also has 8,000Pa suction which is the most of any robot we've evaluated. It can also organize cleaning schedules and save your house's maps from its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

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

It also features a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard spots than traditional mopping. During my testing the X2 Omni took just over a minute to clean its pad and begin work, and I noticed it was more precise than previous models that were able to follow a grid-like path around rooms. It was able navigate corners and edges of my rooms as well as 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 dust bin and clean the mop using hot water prior to beginning another clean-up job.

The X2 Omni is as easy to use and set up as other Ecovacs products. It takes just a few minutes to put the dock in place, plug it in and connect it to your Wi-Fi network at home. Then, you can start the app and start with your first cleaning project. I was able to modify my floor plan in less than 15 minutes. This included creating restricted areas for sweeping and mopping, reworking the placement of wall-mounted furniture and more. The X2 Omni performed impressively in my tests, achieving outstanding scores in the removal of pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as close to perfect results in cleaning crevices and edges.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping then check out the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line from the brand and features the new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system, which utilizes a dual-spinning brush for superior cleaning than traditional scrubbers. It comes with YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is the first of its kind. It can respond to a variety of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, set up cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

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

However, the Deebot T10 Omni is an excellent robot vacuum that has impressive results in our pet hair tests. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood flooring. This is a remarkable performance. It did a great job on carpets and tiles and removed 99% of dirt.

This robot mop and vacuum has an enormous docking station which offers cool water auto-cleaning for its mop pads, automatic emptying into a 3L disposable bag that's simple to replace, and hot-air drying for quick and simple maintenance. It also has a large tank of water that allows it to be washed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Deebot T10 has a wash tray built into its base, similar to other mopping robots. It uses the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads while it is using them. However, it doesn't have a removable tray, which means dirty water dust, dirt and other grime accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first mopping model from Anker that is renowned for its robot vacuums. It has improved intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that adjusts automatically to the type of surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robotic cleaner that's attractive even if the claim of being a one-stop shop for floor cleaning doesn't make sense.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It is a circular design with sweeping wheels, and an elevated sensor. However, flip it over you'll see an electric floor brush as well as a single side sweeper that pushes dirt from the edges into the main pathway of the robot's 'mouth'. It's a little 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 allows you to set up no-mop areas and specific cleaning zones. It is prone to hitting things such as its charging station, and isn't great at navigating over carpets. It did a good job of picking up pet hair from floors that were bare however, and in our tests, it took in 89.5% of kitty litter, which puts it ahead of all but the most powerful robots we've examined.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has a set of physical buttons at its base. These buttons let you choose the cleaning mode, or turn the robot off/on. These buttons can be used to create areas that aren't allowed to enter and look up maps in real-time. It's a little chatty, too, and will tell you what it's going to do next ("start cleaning") or warn you that something's not right (it doesn't have enough power to charge, for instance).

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model sucks up pet hair, kibble and other debris with top-notch effectiveness and effortlessly moves around furniture legs. It has a feature set that is impressive, which includes two cleaning modes as well as an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi enabled and best controlled via the Neato app where cleaning can be scheduled and the overall maintenance requirements monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes that have a mixture of hard and carpet flooring. However, it will need some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with electrical cables, toys or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

The robot performed well in our tests on hardwood floors and kibble. It was able to pick up everything, from one rice grain to a variety of pet food pieces in only one sweep. It did have some issues with rugs but, generally speaking, this vacuum cleaner is great for large rooms that have both types of flooring as well as a mix of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive however it's a great purchase for those who want to be able to leave the house hands-free so they can take on other tasks or perform household chores. The A4s Pro also offers a useful auto-cleaning mode that automatically increases suction power to deal with tough dirt and spills, and includes batteries that power the ElectroWall which allows you to set boundaries that the robot isn't permitted to enter.

This budget-friendly robot from a renowned new brand is the cheapest we've tested and provides an outstanding value for money. The basic navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm, and it lacks the ability to map rooms. This is why it's less effective than the other models on this list. However it's still able navigate under furniture and into corners and its mopping feature performed well in our testing, picking up stray pet hair and other debris easily.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't quite as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it is superior in general at cleaning up pet hair on all surfaces. It cleans floors that are bare more thoroughly and does a fair job on carpets with low pile, and it makes use of smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It can be sent to a specific area, and has a suite of advanced automation features including no-go zones and schedules. It also lets you pause and resume the cleaning process and is perfect for homes with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll prevents knots from pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying bagless dock station can hold up to 30 days worth of dirt before it needs to be empty. It has a set of angled side brushes that can reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system that collects dust, allergens and dander.

This robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. It works with a smartphone application which lets you alter the vacuum's settings and schedule cleaning times ahead of time. The app allows you to view the remaining battery life of the iQ, and send push notifications if it encounters any problems during a cleaning session. You can make use of your voice to control the device using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, and if you do not have either of these, you can mark off areas with physical boundary strips.

The iQ does a decent job of removing bare floors and doing a fair job with shaggy and low-pile carpet however, it doesn't have the same level of autonomy as our top selections. It's also expensive, and its recurring costs can add up over time.
