The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo For pets that shed fur A robot vacuum/mop combination is one of the best floor cleaning solutions. The machine can mop and vacuum, and can even dry and clean its own mop pads. It also has 8,000Pa suction which is the most of any robot we've examined. It can also save maps of your home and set cleaning schedules from its app. 1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni The X2 Omni is the latest in Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum-mop robots. This model is equipped with Ecovacs' upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system, which offers improved mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system uses dual laser LiDAR, which is similar to the one used in self-driving vehicles. It can scan a space up to 32 feet across by the 270-degree angle. This translates to more precise mapping, faster response times, and better cleaning accuracy. It also comes with an alternating mopping mat made of chenille. This makes it much easier to scrub hard spots than conventional mops. During my tests the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and got to work. I noticed that it was more precise than other models which seemed to follow a grid around rooms. It was adept at navigating my rooms' corners and edges, and also create an “Zambani pattern” up and down the center of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station regularly to empty the dustbin and wash the mop with hot water prior to beginning another task of cleaning. The X2 Omni is just as easy to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. Snap the dock into position, plug it in and pair it with your home WiFi network. It only takes some minutes. You can then open the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to customize my floor plan in about 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for mopping and sweeping as well as rearranging the positioning of furniture that is mounted on walls and more. The X2 Omni performed admirably in my tests. It scored highly in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal. It also had near-perfect results for crevices and edge cleaning. 2. Deebot T10 Omni If you're looking for a powerful combination of mopping and vacuuming, check out the EcoVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced model of the brand's T-line, and features the latest OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that uses dual-spinning brushes for better cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It also has YIKO, an artificial language processing technology that is a first of its kind. This allows it to respond to a variety of voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, create cleaning schedules, and adjust settings. The main flaw of the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch from mopping and vacuuming in a single operation. The two modes require that you attach and remove mop heads as you need to which is great for most homes, but not an ideal choice for those who lead busy lives. The Deebot T10 is a great robot vacuum that produces impressive results. It was able to vacuum up more than 96% of the particles we tossed at it on our hardwood flooring which is an impressive performance. It also did a fantastic job on carpet and tile cleaning up more than 99% of dirt and dust. This robot vacuum and mops has an extensive docking system that allows for automatic cleaning using cool mop pads. It also comes with an auto-emptying 3L bag that's 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 rinsed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions. The Deebot T10 comes with an integrated wash tray into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to rinse and dry the mop pads while using them. However, it doesn't come with an open tray, which means that dirty water, dust and other grime slowly accumulates in the bottom of the tray over time. 3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid This is the first mopping model made by Anker which is well-known for its robot vacuums. It offers upgraded smarts, multiple maps support, and LIDAR scanning, in addition to twin turbine suction technology that adjusts to the floor you're cleaning. It's a great mid-range robotic vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't quite deliver on its promise to be the ultimate source for floor cleaning. The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It is a circular design with the sweeping wheels, as well as an elevated sensor area. Turn it upside down, however you'll see an electric floor brush and one side sweeper brush which pushes dirt from the edges into the main path of the robot's'mouth'. It's smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under chairs and couches. Its mapping system lets you define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. However, it has a tendency to bump into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't the best at climbing over carpets. It was effective in picking up pet hair from carpets. In our tests it picked up 89.5 percent of kitty litter. Although it can be controlled via the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with physical buttons on its base that let you select a cleaning mode and switch the robot off or on. These buttons can be used to create zones that are not allowed to be visited and to look up maps in real-time. It's also a little chatty and will inform you of what it's going to do next (start cleaning) or alert you if something is wrong. 4. ILIFE A4s robotvacuummops.com advanced model collects pet hair, kibble and other particles with top-quality efficiency and maneuvers flawlessly around furniture legs. It comes with a feature set that is impressive, including two cleaning modes and an automatic docking station and a real-time obstacle avoidance system. It is Wi-Fi-enabled and is best controlled through the Neato app where cleaning can be scheduled and the overall maintenance needs monitored. The X2 Omni is a great option for homes that have a mixture of hard and carpet floors. However it will require some planning in advance to avoid getting entangled with electrical cables, toys or other unexpected obstructions. In our hardwood floor and kibble tests it performed well and was able to take everything from one grain of rice to multiple pieces of dog food in just one sweep. It did have some issues with rugs, but generally speaking this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large rooms that have different flooring types and a mix of pets. It's not cheap, but if you can afford it, 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 mode that increases suction to take on the most difficult spills or dirt. It also includes a battery-powered ElectroWall to establish boundaries for the robot. This budget-friendly option from a well-known brand is the cheapest model we've tested yet and offers an exceptional value for the money. Its basic navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm, and it's not equipped to map rooms. This makes it less efficient as other models on this list. However, it's still able to get under furniture and into corners and its mopping feature worked very well in our testing and was able to pick up pet hair and other debris effortlessly. 5. Shark iQ Shark's iQ might not be as sturdy however, it's better in removing pet hair from all surfaces. It gets rid of floors with less thoroughly and does a good job on carpets with low pile, and it uses smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It can be positioned to a specific location, and has a suite of advanced automation options, including no-go zones and schedules. It also allows you to stop and restart cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes that have pets. The self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent knots from pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying bagless docking station can hold up to 30 days of dirt prior to needing to be cleaned. It comes with of side brushes that are angled to reach into corners and a multi-stage filter system that captures dust, allergens, and dander. This robot vacuum feels solid and well-built, and it has a smartphone app which lets you alter the settings for your vacuum and plan cleaning times in advance. The app allows you to view the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive push notifications in the event of any issues during the cleaning session. You can utilize your voice to control the device using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, and if you don't have either of those, you can mark off areas with physical boundary strips. The iQ is great at cleaning bare floors, and it does an adequate job with carpets that are sagging and low-pile. However it's not able to provide the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It's also expensive and its recurring cost can increase.
