1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs line of robot vacuum-mop hybrids. This model that is dry and wet comes with the upgraded AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system Ecovacs, which offers improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR, similar to that found in self emptying robot vacuum pet hair-driving vehicles. It can scan that is up to 32 feet by 270 degrees. That translates into more precise mapping, faster response times, as well as better cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub tough areas unlike traditional mops. In my tests the X2 Omni took just over one minute to clean its pad and get to work, and I noticed it was much more accurate than the previous models, which seemed to follow a grid route around rooms. It was adept at navigating my rooms with its corners and edges as well as create an "Zambani pattern" across the center of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station frequently to empty the dust bin and wash the mop with hot water before starting another task of cleaning.

Like other Ecovacs products The X2 Omni is easy to set up and begin using. Place the dock in its place connect it to the power outlet and connect it to your WiFi network at home.

The X2 Omni performed admirably in my tests. It scored high in the areas of pet hair removal as well as debris removal, and had near-perfect results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping look into the ECOVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line of the brand and comes with the brand's new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide better cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also has YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is the first of its kind. It can respond to various voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you map your house, create cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The biggest issue with the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch between vacuuming and mopping in a single run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach mop heads and take them off depending on your requirements. This is great for the majority of households, but not for those who lead busy lives.

The Deebot T10 is an excellent robot vacuum that produces impressive results. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the debris we threw at it on our hardwood flooring which is an impressive performance. It was a success on tiles and carpets and removed 99percent of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mops comes with large docking systems that allows for automatic cleaning using cool water for the mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag which is easy to replace, and hot air drying for fast and simple maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that permits frequent washing and drying between mopping runs.

The Deebot T10 features a wash tray that is 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 and other grime slowly accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

This is the first mopping model from Anker which is well-known for its robot vacuums. It features upgraded intelligence, multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that adjusts automatically to the surface you are cleaning. It's a mid-range 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 regular robotic vacuum cleaner from the top with its circular shape with sweeping wheels and an elevated space for sensors. However, flip it over, and you'll find a motorised floor brush plus a single side sweeper that carries dirt from the edges of the machine into the main path of the robot's'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 and allows you to set no-mop zones and specific cleaning zones. However it is prone to bump into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always adept in negotiating rug. It was good at picking up pet hair from the floor. In our tests, it picked up 89.5 percent of cat litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, however it also has a set of physical buttons on its base. These buttons let you choose the cleaning mode, or turn the robot vacuum mop pet hair on/off. These buttons can be used to create zones that are not allowed to be visited and to view real-time maps. It's also a bit chatty, and will let you know what it's planning to do next (start cleaning) or robot vacuum mop pet Hair warn you if something is wrong.

The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a carpet, hard carpet and flooring, however it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck by toys, power cords or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

The robot performed well in our tests of hardwood floors and food particles. It was able to pick up everything from a single rice grain to several dog food pieces with only one sweep. It had a bit of difficulties transitioning to rugs however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is great for large rooms with flooring of all kinds and a variety of pets.

It's a bit expensive, but if you can handle the cost it's a great purchase for those who want to be able to leave their homes hands-free to go about other tasks or to take care of chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that boosts suction to tackle the most difficult spills or dirt. It also comes with a battery powered ElectroWall to set boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly option from a popular upstart brand is the cheapest robot we've tested yet and offers an incredible value for money. The basic navigation system employs a super-basic random pathing algorithm that isn't equipped with room mapping capabilities, making it less efficient than the other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and into the corners. And its mopping mode performed well in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as sturdy however it is superior in removing pet hair from all surfaces. It clears bare floors more efficiently and does a decent job on low-pile carpet and uses smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It also lets you send it to a specific area, and its advanced set of automation features include no-go zones and scheduling. It can even to pause and resume the cleaning process which is ideal for households with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll prevents knots from pet hair and other debris, and its self-emptying bagless dock station can store up to 30 days worth of dirt before needing to be cleaned.

This robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. It works with an app on your smartphone that allows you to change the vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions in advance. The app also lets you view the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive notifications via push for any issues it encounters during its cleaning process. You can also control it using your voice via an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices you can mark out areas with physical boundary lines.

The iQ can do a decent job of clearing bare floors and does a decent job with shaggy and low-pile carpet however, it doesn't have the same level of autonomy as our top picks. It's also costly and its recurring cost can add up.
