Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more adept, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling a variety of floor types. Look for models that allow you to select from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to self-empty, and clean up the stairs.

A lot of the top models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that lets you save maps, create schedules and select cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal-and-gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos available on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate, and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean app that lets you set up schedules and modify the S1's behavior.

The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which has linoleum flooring in the dining area, kitchen, and bathrooms and also a large rugs and a medium-pile.  auto vacuum  was able to drive right up to walls without hitting them and even managed to traverse thresholds that were raised in the room without issue, though it occasionally struggled to get down the stairs in one pass. The S1 did a good job cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and swung up when it was near carpets or carpets.

The docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dust bin and refills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water prior to each mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water for deep cleaning. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for about a dozen cleaning sessions before it has to be cleaned, although it will differ based on how much you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires periodic maintenance to keep it working efficiently. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheels and sensors regularly to keep them from getting blocked by dust or dirt. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year however their latest top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-free maintenance, making it a clear contender for our top robot vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure that an effective, customized cleaning is completed.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming and removing large and fine particles from hard floors as well as carpets. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests with ease by avoiding pet hairs as well as other dirt. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by a side brush that extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, as well as an extended mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation system is nimble it can navigate through tiny spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a step. It can move from one area to another without changing direction which is a great feature for homes with many rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than other models, however, and tends to leave a thick space over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

You can also alter suction power, mop setting as well as view 2D and 3-D maps. You can control it through the app, Alexa or Google Assistant.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

A robot vacuum does an excellent job of picking up dirt and debris however, it's not able to be able to reach every piece of dust. It is important to clean frequently, every week. This is especially important for dust that collects in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot designed specifically for this purpose. It is easy to connect to your WiFI network at home and also works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is an edgier version of the company's expensive S-series models, which include the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on price by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a lower-cost plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've ever seen at this price, even though it's not equipped to clean your floors. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an auto-empty system, which means you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It comes with a smart application that lets you schedule cleaning and choose the floor type. It also comes with an automatic water tank filling and washing system to allow hands-free operation.

Its mops are also impressive, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dirt, dust and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have issues with high-pile carpets or area rug, but it was unable to clean up kitty litter or cable tangles that's not a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the most quiet robovacs that we have tested. It also has a unique method to map your home. This will allow it to enter the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums can't reach. It also stores dust in a larger bin which means you need empty it less frequently. It also has washable filters, which further reduces costs. The robot is also able to detect carpets and boost the suction if needed. The app also allows you to mark off areas you want to stay clear of and is a great feature.
