The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a great option for those looking for an affordable mop and robot vacuum. It's got a fantastic mopping capability, but it lacks some of the features that are found in its more expensive counterpart.

During testing it was able to handle dust and dry oats on carpets with medium piles as well as pet hair on hard floors. However, unlike other models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to help you map your home.

1. IRobot Roomba S9+

The iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuum is among the top-rated robots. It has a lot of features and impressive cleaning power, including a dirt compartment that is integrated into the charging base. This robot can learn your habits of cleaning, and recommend automatic schedules that will give you an effortless cleaning experience.

Setup is easy, thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the process. Once everything is connected, you can start the automatic cleaning functions at the push of a button. You can opt for an overall clean that emphasizes the removal of large debris such as rice and cereal or go for two detailed maps of your area to ensure that your entire home gets a proper look.

This robot vacuum performs well both on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It sucks up large items and doesn't lose suction as rapidly as some others do, and it can even pick up pet hair with ease. It's not the best time with plush or high-pile carpet, but iRobot says it will get better in the future with new models.

The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that concentrates on enhancing the edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted D-shaped design, which will allow it to fit into furniture and walls. It's an improvement over the hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are widely used, but we found it to be just marginally better than circular models.

iRobot claims that the S9+ also features superior filtration that blocks tiny particles and allergens from circulating within your home. It's a nice claim however, we're not convinced that it's enough to justify the premium price price.

Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to remember the structure of your home, and vSLAM to map your interior. It then cleans your entire home efficiently by avoiding obstacles like stairs and other obstacles. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundary markers so that the robot knows the areas that require attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robotic that is a combination of mopping and vacuuming. Its vacuum settings are just as good as those on more expensive models. The mopping system is even better because its spinning pads scrub floors more effectively than the vibrating pads.

The only downside is that it doesn't have an additional rubber brush for more thorough cleaning, but that's an affordable price to pay if you are looking for one of the top robots available. The robo-vac's dust tank is also bigger than those on many of its competitors and it takes only two or three cycles to fill it up, even at the highest dirt level.

In terms of the mopping device, I was amazed by its ability to scrub tough dirt from my floors. The two mopping modes that it has that are less aggressive than the higher-powered ones generate minimal noise, allowing you to work or even watch TV without interruption. If it encounters a wall or piece of furniture it gently smacks into it before moving on.

The Q Revo is unique in that it runs almost completely on its own, with no user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac has multiple functions and automatically transfers trash into a hidden bin. It also cleans and dries, as well as refills the clean water tank. The app will only notify you when something is wrong like low water levels or a cancelled vacuuming session due to an empty bin.

You can also create and combine rooms to modify how the Q Revo manages your home. This feature is beneficial when you have different flooring in different areas of your home or if you need to regularly remove clutter, such as clothes, toys and books. The robo-vac is also efficient and was among the top performers in my tests, taking debris from both carpets and hardwoods on the first pass. It can even remove wet spills however I would recommend wiping them dry using a clean cloth before bringing the robot in.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot cleaner with mop is a premium robot mop and vacuum that comes with all the features you could need. Like the iRobot Roomba S9+, it is a top-quality vacuum with a powerful suction that cleans hard and carpet floors, and a rotating mop that scrubs tough staining. It also has an auto-cleaning station that automatically washes and empties the mop pads, keeping them fresh and ready for reuse. It also has a sensor that can detect obstacles better which allows it to avoid falling onto furniture and other objects.

The biggest improvement over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this version has a sleeker, more modern design due to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for Bang & Olufsen products). The robot is still large--it measures over two feet in both height and depth, and weighs almost four pounds. However the robot and its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo and iRobot J7.

This version is more efficient than the X1 because it charges more quickly and can clean 1,500 square feet in a single charge. It also has a larger and more robust dust bin that can hold more debris. This makes it easier to empty.

The X2 Omni also has a more natural voice assistant and an app that can be used even when you're not at home. It also comes with a smart routing function that allows it to clean specific areas or rooms of your home, instead of following a predetermined route.

The X2 Omni is the best robot at mopping. Its mop pads that rotate scrub away tough stains, and its motor generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is top-notch, and it boosts suction when it senses a carpet to ensure a thorough cleaning. 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 is a premium mop and vacuum robot that comes with a host of convenience features that you aren't likely to find on robots in this price range. It is able to build detailed floor maps, identify different flooring types and is one of the few robots that automatically wash and dry its mop pads. These features are great however they can make the L10s more of a premium category. This could mean it's more expensive than what homeowners would need.

It is designed to look like a contemporary floor cleaner The L10s Ultra is a tall and slim device that has an elegant white finish highlighted by mirror-plated silver elements. The front of the machine is dominated by an enormous bumper that helps protect furniture and the vacuum from damage while moving around the home. Sensors are concealed behind the front pane which help the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button that acts as an on/off switch. By pressing this button, you can activate the vacuum, while clicking it again will shut off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The control panel is an oblique menu that lets you select cleaning modes, schedules, and preferences. The left and right buttons open the settings of the app where you can alter the way the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.

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

The L10s Ultra is an efficient vacuum cleaner that removes 98.4% debris from our test on hard floors and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice stains. Its mops are efficient, clearing 98.4% of debris on our tile, wood, and carpet tests. However, it wasn't quite as great at tackling sand on the floor, or quaker oats on the carpet.
