The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a fantastic option if you're seeking a robot vacuum and mop that is mid-range. It's a great mopping capabilities, but is lacking some of the advanced features that are found in its more expensive sibling.

In the course of testing, it was able to take on dry oats and dust on carpets with medium piles as well as pet hair on hard floors. It doesn't employ LIDAR however, as cheaper models do to map your home.

Roomba s9+ from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top robot vacuums. It has impressive cleaning power and numerous features such as a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. The robot will learn your habits for cleaning and suggest automatic schedules that will give you an effortless cleaning experience.

Setup is easy, thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the procedure. Once the system is setup, you can start automatic cleaning with a single button press. You can select an overall clean that emphasizes cleaning up larger debris like cereal and rice or two detailed maps of your home to ensure that your entire home is properly arranged.

This robot vac performs well on floors that are unfinished and carpet with a low pile. It is able to take large objects and does not lose suction as fast as some others do and can pick up pet hair with ease. It has a difficult time with high-pile or plush carpet, but iRobot claims it will improve with the next models.

The S9+ is a new design by iRobot that concentrates on improving the edge and corner cleaning. It's the very first Roomba that uses flat-fronted D-shaped designs. The company hopes that this will allow it to fit into walls and furniture. It's a significant improvement over hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are widely used, but we found it only marginally better than circular models.

iRobot also claims that the S9+ has an improved filtering system that stops microscopic dust particles and allergens from recirculating within your home. We like the statement but not enough to justify a premium price.

Its smart navigation system employs sensors that remember your home's layout and vSLAM technology for mapping the interior. This allows it to avoid obstacles like stairs and other barriers and also to clean your entire home efficiently possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and also set virtual boundaries so that the robot can determine which areas need extra 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 as effective as those found on higher-end models. And its mopping system is better as its spinning pads scrub floors more efficiently than the vibrating pads.

The only issue is that it lacks an additional rubber brush to allow for deeper cleaning, but that's a small cost to pay if are looking for one of the top robots on the market. The robo-vac's dust tank also larger than many of its rivals, and it takes just two or three cycles to fill it, even with the highest dirt level.

As for the mopping system, I was amazed by its ability to scrub tough dirt off my floors. The two mopping modes that it has that are less aggressive than the more powerful ones, produce minimal noise, allowing you to work or even watch television without interruption. If it encounters an object, such as a wall or furniture piece it gently smacks into it before moving on.

What really distinguishes the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to run nearly completely on its own, with no need for user intervention. The robo-vac has a multifunction dock that automatically moves physical trash into the bin hidden from view and also washes and drys the mop pads, and refills its clean water tank. The app is adept at nagging you only when something is in need of attention, like the water tank being empty or a scheduled vacuuming session being cancelled due to a stuffed dust bin.

You can also create or combine rooms to customize the way that Q Revo treats your home. This feature is beneficial if you have different flooring in different areas of your home, or in the event that you have to regularly remove clutter, such as toys, clothes and books. The robo-vac is also efficient and was one of the top performers in my tests, picking up debris from carpets as well as hardwoods on the first pass. It can also clean up spills that are wet, though I recommend cleaning them off with a cloth before sending the robot into.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum with all the features you can wish for. It comes with the ability to rotate mops and a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets and hard floors. It's similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also has a self-cleaning station that automatically cleans and empty mop pads to keep them fresh and ready for reuse. It also features a new sensor system that can better detects obstacles, granting it the ability to avoid falling over furniture and other objects.

The most significant improvement over the ECOVACS The X1 Deebot is the modern, sleeker design. This is due to the Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. Although it's still quite large--it's more than two feet high and deep and weighs in excess of four pounds--the robot and its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.

This version is more efficient than the X1 since it charges faster and cleans 1,500 square feet in a single charge. It also has a larger and more robust dustbin that can store more debris. This makes it easier to empty.

Finally lastly, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app as well as an assistant voice that works offline, which means you can manage it even when not at home. It also comes with a smart routing feature that lets it clean specific areas or rooms of your home, instead of following a predetermined route.

The X2 Omni is the top robot at mopping. Its rotating mop pads clean tough stains and its motor creates lots of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is outstanding too and it increases suction when it senses carpet to ensure it's doing the job well. It also has a massive battery that can last for weeks between charges, and its mopping mode is as effective as the ones we've seen on a consumer-grade robot.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a premium model that comes with a variety of features that aren't typically found on robots of this price. It is able to build detailed floor maps, identify different flooring types and is one of the few to automatically wash and dry its mop pads. These features are nice, but they also make the L10s more of a premium category. This might make it more expensive than what homeowners want.

The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaner. It is slim and tall and has a white-colored finish that is complemented by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by an enormous bumper, which helps protect furniture and vacuum cleaners from damage when moving through the home. Behind the pane at the front is a second navigation technology in the form of sensors that aid the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button that serves as an on/off switch. This button will turn on the vacuum. By pressing it again, you can turn it off and send it back to its base station. The circular menu at the center of the control panel allows users to select cleaning options as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons open the settings of the app where you can customize how the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.

Like the iRobot Roomba S9+ and Roborock Q Revo, the L10s Ultra uses a combination of LIDAR and camera-based navigation techniques to map out your home. This allows the robot to vacuum and mop effectively without getting stuck. The LIDAR also assists the robot vacuum detect and avoid obstacles and obstacles, which is a wonderful feature for families with children or pets.

The L10s Ultra is a powerful vacuum cleaner, removing 98.4% debris from our test on hardwood floors and taking out all but stubborn juice stains. Its mops are also quite efficient, removing 98.4 percent of debris from our tile, wood, and carpet tests. It was not as effective in removing sand from the hard floor or quaker oats from the carpet.
