The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a great choice if you are looking for a robot vacuum and mop that is middle-of-the-road. It's got a fantastic mopping performance but lacks some of the advanced features found in its more expensive counterpart.

During tests it was able to eliminate pet hair and dry oats out of carpets with a medium pile. However, like cheaper models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to help you map your home.

1. iRobot Roomba S9+

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top-rated robot vacuums. It is loaded with features and incredible cleaning power, including an area for dirt that is built into the charging base. The robot also learns 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 setup it can begin automated cleaning with a single button click. You can select the general clean option, which prioritizes the removal of larger pieces of debris like cereal and rice. Or you can choose two mappings to ensure that your entire home is completely cleaned.

This robot vac performs well on both floors that are bare and carpets with low pile. It sucks up large items and doesn't lose suction as quickly as some other models and can clean up pet hair without much difficulty. It's a challenge with carpets that are high-pile or plush however, iRobot claims that future models will be better.

The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that concentrates on enhancing the edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba that has an open-fronted, flat-fronted design. The company hopes this will allow it to fit into the furniture and walls. It's a step up from the hockey puck-shaped robovacs that are standard, but we found it to be just marginally better than circular models.

iRobot claims that the S9+ also features an advanced filtration system which blocks microscopic particles and allergens recirculating in your home. We think this is a nice claim, but not enough to justify a higher 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 house efficiently by avoiding obstacles like stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and create virtual boundary markers to ensure that the robot is aware of the areas that require attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robotic that combines mopping and vacuuming. Its vacuum settings are as effective as those found on higher-end models. Its mopping system is better as its spinning pads scrub your floors much more effectively than the vibrating pads.

The only drawback is the lack of a second brush for more thorough cleaning. However, it's not a major issue if you want to own one of the top robots on the market. The dust tank on the robovac is bigger than most of its competitors and filling it takes just two or three cycles even when you've got the most dirt.

In terms of the mopping system, I was amazed by its ability to scrub tough dirt off my floors. The two mopping settings that it has which are less powerful than the high-powered ones, create low noise, which means you can work or even watch television without being distracted. If it comes into contact with an object, such as a wall or furniture piece it gently smacks into it before moving on.

What really sets the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to operate almost 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, as well as cleans and drys the website mop pads, and refills its clean water tank. The app is adept at alerting you when something needs attention, for example, the water tank that is running out of clean or a scheduled vacuuming session that was cancelled because of a full dust bin.

You can also create or combine rooms to alter the way Q Revo manages your home. This is a great feature to have if you have several areas of your home with different floor materials or if there's some clutter that needs to be removed frequently, like 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 can vacuum up even wet spills. I recommend drying the area with a towel prior to sending it in.

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 a rotating mop and a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets and hard floors. It is similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also comes with a self-cleaning station that automatically washes and empties mop pads to keep them fresh and ready for reuse. It also comes with a sensor that detects obstacles more accurately, allowing it to avoid falling onto furniture and other objects.

The most significant 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 its Bang & Olufsen products). Although it's still quite large--it's more than two feet tall and deep and weighs almost four pounds--the entire robot and its base are less bulky than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot J7.

This model is also more efficient than the X1 version, since it charges faster and can handle a complete cleaning of approximately 1,500 square feet in one charge. It also comes with a larger and more robust dustbin that can store more debris. This makes it easier to empty.

The X2 Omni also has a more intuitive voice assistant and an app that works even when you're at home. It also has additional mopping modes as well as a smart routing feature that gives it the flexibility to clean specific rooms or areas of your home instead of just following a specific path.

The Omni Omni is the most effective mopping performance of any robot we've tested, due to its mop pads that rotate to scrub away tough stains and a motor that creates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is also excellent, and it increases suction when it detects carpets to ensure thorough cleaning. It is equipped with a large rechargeable battery that can last up to one week. The mopping feature of the robot is also powerful.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot mop and vacuum is a top-quality model that offers a number of convenience features not often found on robots of this price. It can create precise floor maps and recognize different flooring types. It's also one of the only robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. But while these functions are nice to have, they also make the L10s Ultra more in the category of luxury and could mean it's slightly more expensive than what some homeowners require.

Created to look like a contemporary floor cleaner, the L10s Ultra is a tall and slim machine with an elegant white finish that's enhanced by mirror plating and silver elements. The front of the machine features an impressive bumper that protects the vacuum cleaner and furniture as you move around your home. Behind the pane at the front is additional navigation technology that is comprised of sensors that help the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum there is a single button which is used as an on/off switch. By pressing this button, you can activate the vacuum, and pressing it again will shut off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The circular menu located in the middle of the control panel allows you to choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons will 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 techniques to help you map out your home. This creates a detailed floor plan that enables the robot vacuum and mop efficiently and avoid getting stuck in cluttered areas. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or small children.

The L10s Ultra is an extremely powerful vacuum cleaner that removes 98.4 percent of the debris we test on hard floors and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice staining. Its mops are also quite efficient, clearing 98.4 percent of debris from our wood, tile and carpet tests. It was not as efficient in removing sand from our hard floor or quaker oatmeal from the carpet.
