The Best robot vacuums with lidar for pet hair Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop set-up is the ideal solution for pets that shed fur. This machine can mop, vacuum and clean its own dual mop pad.

It also has the most suction power of any robot we've tested, with 8000Pa. It can also set up cleaning schedules and save your house's maps using its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs' line of robot vacuum-mop hybrids. This model is equipped with Ecovacs' upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system, which offers improved mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to that used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet across by 360 degrees. This results in more precise mapping, faster response time, and better cleaning accuracy.

It also features an adjustable mopping pad made of chenille, which makes it easier to scrub hard spots than traditional mopping. During my tests the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and then got to work. I noticed that it was more precise than other models that seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was capable of navigating my room's' corners and edges, as well as create an "Zambani pattern" across the center of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station on a regular basis to empty the dustbin and clean the mop with hot water before beginning another cleaning task.

Like other Ecovacs products the X2 Omni is easy to set up and begin using. It takes just minutes to put the dock in place, plug it in and connect it to your Wi-Fi network at home. You can then open the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to modify my floor plan in less than 15 minutes. This included creating restricted areas for mopping and sweeping, reworking the placement of furniture on the wall, and more. The X2 Omni performed admirably during my tests. It scored highly in the areas of pet hair removal as well as debris removal, and was near-perfect in its results for edge and crevices cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you're looking for a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping, check out the EcoVACS Deebot Omni. It is the most advanced of the brand's T-line and features a new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system which uses dual-spinning brushes for better cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbers. It also has YIKO integrated, a first-of-its kind natural language processing tech that lets it respond to a range of voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you map your house, create cleaning schedules, and alter settings.

The biggest con with the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch from mopping to vacuuming in one go. Both modes require that you attach and remove the mop heads according to the need which is great for most homes but not an ideal choice for those who have a busy schedule.

However, the Deebot Omni is a fantastic robot vacuum that delivers outstanding results in our pet hair tests. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood flooring. This is a fantastic performance. It also did a fantastic job with tile and carpet, removing over 99percent of dirt and debris.

This robot Vacuum Mop Pet Hair and mop has large docking systems that lets you clean the mop pads automatically using cool mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag that is easy to replace, and hot air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also comes with a large tank of water that allows it to be washed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Like other mopping machines like the Deebot T10 Omni, it features a wash tray in its base, which rinses and dries the mop pads as it uses them. However, it doesn't come with a removable tray, which means that dirty water dust, dirt, and other grime gradually build up on the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

While the Anker-owned Eufy is well known in the robot vacuum space but this model is its first venture into the world of mopping. It comes with enhanced smarts, multiple map support, and LIDAR scanning, along with twin-turbine suction technology that adapts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a mid-range cleaner that's appealing, even if its claim of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning does not be realized.

The X8 Hybrid looks like a regular robotic vacuum cleaner from the top, with its circular shape, sweeping wheels and a raised space for sensors. On the other hand you'll find a motorized floorbrush and a single side brush that moves dust from the edges to the main path of its' mouth.' It's a bit smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9, which I discovered makes it easier to access under sofas and chairs.

The mapping system is quite sophisticated, allowing you to set no-mop zones, as well as specific cleaning zones. It is prone to bumping into things, including its own charging station, and isn't the best at climbing over carpets. It was great at collecting pet hair off carpets. In our tests it picked up 89.5% kitty litter.

Although it's controlled through the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with a series of physical buttons on its base, which allow you to choose a cleaning mode, and turn the robot on/off. You can also use these to set no-go zones and view real-time maps. It's a little chatty, too, and will inform you of what it plans 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 model of high-tech vacuum is able to pick up pet hair, kibble, and other debris with great effectiveness. It also maneuvers perfectly around furniture legs. It comes with a feature set that is impressive, including two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled via the Neato App which schedules cleanings and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is a great choice for large homes with a mix of carpet and hard floors. However it will require some planning ahead to avoid getting caught on electrical cables, toys or other unexpected obstructions.

In our hardwood floor and kibble tests it performed well and was able to pick up everything from one grain of rice to several pieces of dog food in just one pass. It had some issues with rugs, but in general the vacuum cleaner is perfect for large rooms that have floors of different types as well as a mixture of pets.

It's not cheap, but if you can handle the cost it's a great purchase for those who wish 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 feature that increases suction to tackle tough dirt or spills. It also comes with a battery powered ElectroWall to establish boundaries for the robot.

This budget-friendly model from a well-known new brand is the most affordable we've ever tested, and provides an outstanding value for money. Its basic navigation system is based on a very basic random pathing algorithm, and it's not equipped to map rooms. This is why it's less effective than other models in this list. However it's still able reach under furniture and in corners, and its mopping mode worked very well in our testing and was able to pick up pet hair and other debris with ease.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not be as robust as the Roomba S9, but it does better overall at getting rid of pet hair from all surfaces. It clears bare floors more thoroughly and does a fair job on low-pile carpet, and it makes use of smart-pathing navigational technology for better maneuverability. It can be directed to a particular area and has a suite of advanced automation features, including no-go zones and schedules. It lets you suspend and restart cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes with pets.

Its self cleaning brushroll prevents knots and holds up to 30 day's worth of dirt. It has a set of side brushes that are angled to reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system that captures dust, allergens and dander.

The robot vacuum is built well and feels solid. It has an app on your smartphone that allows you to change the settings of your vacuum and schedule cleaning sessions ahead of time. The app also lets you see the remaining battery life of the iQ and send push notifications about any issues it encounters during a cleaning cycle. You can make use of your voice to control it with an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you do not have either of these options, you can mark areas with physical boundary strips.

The iQ does a decent job of clearing bare floors and does a decent job on shaggy and low-pile carpet however it lacks the same level of autonomy as our top picks. It's also expensive and the recurring expenses can add up over time.
