The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is an excellent option if you're looking to buy a mid-priced mop and robot vacuum. It gives a great mopping experience, but it lacks the advanced features of its more expensive counterpart.

In the course of testing, it was able to tackle dry oats and dust on medium-pile carpet and pet hair on hard floors. But, unlike cheaper models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to map out your home.

iRobot Roomba s9+

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the most highly-rated robot vacuums. It comes with a variety of features and impressive cleaning power, such as an area for dirt that is integrated into the base of charging. This robot can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automated schedules to provide a hands-free and effortless experience.

The iRobot Home App guides you through the process of setting up. Once the system is set up, you can start automatic cleaning with a single button click. You can choose a general clean that prioritizes cleaning up larger debris like rice and cereal or go for two thorough mappings of your area to ensure that your entire home is properly arranged.

This robot vacuum is effective on both floors with no carpet and carpets with low pile. It can pick up pet hair and clean large items up. It doesn't lose suction as fast as some other robot vacuums. It does have a hard time with high-pile or plush carpet, but iRobot says it will improve with future models.

The S9+ features a new design from iRobot that is focused on enhancing edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted D-shaped design, which it hopes will allow it to hug walls and furniture. It's a great improvement over the hockey puck-like design of robovacs, but we discovered it to be only incrementally better than circular models.

iRobot also claims the S9+ comes with a superior filter system that prevents microscopic dust particles and allergens from recirculating throughout your home. We like the claim however, it's not enough to justify a premium price.

Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to remember the arrangement of your home and vSLAM for mapping the interior of your home. It can then clean your entire home efficiently by avoiding obstacles such as stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundary markers to ensure that the robot is aware of the areas that require attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

When it is about robots that can combine vacuuming and mopping, the Roborock Q Revo stands out. Its vacuum settings are just as good as those found on more expensive models. Its mopping system is superior - its spinning pads scrub your floors much better than an ordinary pad that vibrates.

The only issue is that it doesn't have an additional rubber brush to allow to provide more thorough cleaning, but that's a small cost to pay if want one of the best budget self emptying robot vacuum robots on the market. The dust tank of the robo-vac is bigger than most of its competitors. Filling it takes just two or three cycles, even when you have maximum dirt.

In terms of the mopping device, I was amazed with its ability to scrub off the tough dirt off my floors. The two mopping settings that it has that are less powerful than the high-powered settings, produce little noise, so you can work or watch TV without being distracted. If it encounters an object, such as a wall or furniture piece, it gently bumps into it before moving forward.

What sets the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to operate almost autonomously with very little need for human intervention. The dock of the robo-vac is multifunctional and automatically transfers garbage into a bin hidden. It also cleans and dries, as well as refills the clean water tank. The app will only notify you when something is wrong, such as low water levels or a cancelled vacuuming session due to the bin being full.

You can also create or combine rooms to personalize the way Q Revo treats your home. This is a great feature to have if you have several areas of your home with different flooring materials or there's clutter that needs to be removed frequently, such as toys, clothes, and books. The robot vacuum is also efficient and was among the top performers during my tests, removing debris from carpets as well as hardwoods on the first pass. It is able to vacuum up wet spills. I recommend drying the area with a towel prior to sending it to.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum that has all the features you could need. It comes with an omni-rotating mop as well as a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets and hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also comes with an automatic cleaning station that cleans and empty the mop pads to keep them fresh and ready for reuse. It also has a new sensor system that is able to better detects obstacles, giving it the ability to avoid falling over furniture and other objects.

The biggest difference over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this model has a sleeker, more modern design due to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for Bang & Olufsen products). The robot is still quite large. It has a height of more than two feet both height and depth, and weighs in at least four pounds. However the robot as well as its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo and iRobot J7.

This model is also more efficient than the X1 version, since it charges faster and can complete a cleaning of approximately 1,500 square feet in one charge. It also has a bigger, more durable dustbin to hold more debris, making it easier to empty it when needed.

Finally lastly, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app as well as an assistant voice that works offline, so you can use it even if you're away from home. It also comes with a smart routing function that lets it clean specific areas or rooms of your home instead of following a predetermined path.

The X2 Omni is the most effective mopping robot. Its mop pads that rotate scrub away tough stains, and its motor creates lots of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is outstanding, and it also increases suction when it detects carpets to ensure thorough cleaning. It also has a large battery that can last for weeks between charges, and its mopping mode is as effective as anything we've seen in a consumer-grade robot.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a high-end mop and robot vacuum that comes with a host of convenience features you don't often see on robots in this price. It can build precise floor maps, recognize different flooring types, and it's one of the few that can automatically wash and dry its mop pads. These are nice features, but they also place the L10s in the luxury category. This could mean it's more expensive than homeowners need.

Designed to look like a modern floor cleaner designed to look like a modern floor cleaner, the L10s Ultra is a tall and slim device with an elegant white finish that's highlighted by mirror-plated silver elements. The front of the machine is dominated by a huge bumper, which helps protect furniture and the vacuum from damage while moving through the home. Sensors are hidden behind the front pane, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top, you'll find a single button that essentially acts as an on/off switch. Clicking this will turn on the vacuum, and clicking it again will turn off the vacuum and send it back to its base station. The center of the control panel includes an oblique menu that lets you select cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons will open the settings of the app where you can customize how the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.

The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination of LIDAR and cameras-based navigation technology to map out your home. This allows the robot to clean and mop efficiently, without getting stuck. The LIDAR assists the robot vacuum to avoid obstacles and identify them and avoid them, which is a great feature for homes with pets or small children.

The L10s Ultra is a powerful vacuum cleaner that removes 98.4% debris from our test on hardwood floors and removing all but stubborn juice staining. Its mops are also quite efficient, removing 98.4 percent of debris from our wood, tile and carpet tests. However, it wasn't quite as effective in removing sand from the floor, or Quaker oats on carpet.
