7 Things About Robot Vacuum And Mop You'll Kick Yourself For Not Knowing

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are increasingly capable, acing our cleaning tests and tackling different types of floors. Find models that allow you to choose from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to automatically empty, and clean up stairs.

A lot of the top models are compatible with smartphones. Find an application that lets you save maps, schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal-and-gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combos on the market. It uses lidar to navigate and create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean app that lets you set up schedules and modify the S1's behaviour.

When I tried the S1 It was quick to identify the downstairs area, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, along with carpeting with a medium-pile and an area rug. It was able to drive right up to walls without hitting them and even managed to drive across raised room thresholds with no problem, but it sometimes struggled to get down stairs in a single step. The S1 did a good job cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and raised itself when it reached carpets or carpets.

The S1's docking station automatically emptys its trash bin and fills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water prior to every mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution to the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank is able to hold up to 12 cleaning sessions, but it will differ depending on the frequency you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires regular maintenance to keep it working well. In order to do this, you'll have to rinse out the dirty water tank occasionally to avoid it from clogging. Also, you'll need to clean your swivel wheel and sensors regularly to avoid them becoming clogged up with dust or dirt. But, overall, the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other combinations which require more effort to maintain.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is a powerful solution to your cleaning needs. The robot vacuum has 8,700Pa suction power and comes with a variety of innovative features including voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are remarkable, with mops rotating that actually lift and scrub the floor, as opposed to just moving the pad across it. The mops can also be dried and cleaned at the base station, if needed.

The robot comes with a simple interface that guides you through the process. It also comes with a hand-vacuum which can be utilized to clean those difficult to reach areas that the robot can't reach. There are two water tanks which are automatically filled or empty. It also has a number of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.


The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction which can easily pick up dirt and other debris that other robots have trouble with. Its navigation abilities are also quite good, though it can get stuck on small mats and rugs around my home (which you can alleviate by creating virtual boundaries in the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good and include a pair of mop pads that can lift and scrub the floor instead of moving the pad across it. The mops are cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station when required. Mops can also be filled at the top of the station when needed.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year and their new top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop has even more impressive features. It delivers outstanding cleaning results and is simple to maintain. This makes it a top contender on our top list of robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush ensure a thorough, custom-designed clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, removing large and small particles from both hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest places of our tests well by avoiding pet hairs as well as other messes. The sweeping capability of the machine is enhanced by a sidebrush that automatically extends to reach hard-to-reach areas, and mop pads that extend along baseboards.

Its navigation is nimble, navigating tight spaces and negotiating stairs without missing a beat. It is able to move from one room to the next without needing to reverse the direction. This is useful for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is not as advanced than its competitors, however, and tends to leave a thick distance around obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

Its app has a streamlined and intuitive interface that will be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings. You can also alter the suction power, mop settings and look up 3-D and 2-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, allowing you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. But, you'll require a stable internet connection to use it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

Robot vacuums are great at removing dirt and debris but they're not able to get all dust. It's important to vacuum often, at least once a week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that both vacuums and mop, is made to do just that. It's easy to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more useful addition to your routine of cleaning.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive S-series models from the company, such as the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It has a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but saves on price by eliminating mopping functions and using a lower-cost plastic body.

The Q5 is still one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping robots we've ever seen in this price range even though it's not able to clean your floor. It has a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an automatic-empty system so you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It comes with a smart app that lets you schedule cleanings and set the floor type. It also comes with an automatic water tank filling and washing system for hands-free operation.

The mops also stand out, with a 2700Pa power that can tackle dirt and pet hair on carpets as well as hard floors. The Q5 is one of the few robots we tested that didn't show any trouble with high-pile carpets and area carpets, but it didn't remove cables or kitty litter, which is no surprise given that it doesn't have AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
