11 Methods To Refresh Your Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more efficient, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling various floor types. Choose models that allow you to choose between multiple modes, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

Many of the best rated robot vacuum models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that lets you save maps, set schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The black and gloss gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive robot vacuums and mop combinations available. It makes use of lidar to navigate and creates maps of floors and rooms.

When I tried the S1 It was quick to identify our downstairs, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, plus carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was capable of driving close to walls and even over raised thresholds without any problems. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did a great job of cleaning hard floors, with its mop driving smoothly on the flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it was near carpet or rug.

Prior to each mopping session the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and fills up its water tank onboard with filtered, clean water ozonated. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution for the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for about a dozen cleaning sessions before needing to be empty, but this can vary based on how often you use the mop.

The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to periodically rinse out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to prevent them from getting blocked by dust or dirt. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is an effective solution to your cleaning needs. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction power and comes with a number advanced features like voice control and smart path planning 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 dragging the pad across it. The mops can also be dried and cleaned at the base station if needed.

This robot combo has a simple interface that guides you through the process. It comes with a hand vacuum that recharges for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot can't reach and two water tanks that are automatically empty and replenished whenever needed. It comes with a variety of settings that can be used to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a good vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction which can easily remove dirt and other debris that other robots have trouble with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty robust, however it is sometimes hung up on the tiny carpets or area mats that I have in my home (which is something you can reduce by defining a virtual boundary in the app). The mopping feature is pretty excellent, too, with two spinning mop pads that actually lift and scrub the floors, as opposed to simply dragging the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned using heated water and dried in the basestation when needed. The mops are also filled from the top of the base station as required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new flagship model of robot vacuum that vacuums and mops mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It is a great cleaner, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a top contender on our list of the best robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a longer side brush guarantee a thorough, custom-designed clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, picking up fine and large debris from both hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned our tests' most filthy areas well, and avoiding tangled pet hairs and other mess. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by a side brush that automatically swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, as well as an extended mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation system is nimble, navigating narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without skipping a step. It can easily move from one room to another without having to reverse direction which is a great feature for larger homes with many rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is not as advanced than some competitors however, and tends to leave a wide distance over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

The app is streamlined, intuitive interface that should be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings, change the suction power and mopping settings and view 3D and 2D maps, and more. You can control it through the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get real-time video supervision. You'll need a stable Wi-Fi connection in order to operate it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum can do a fantastic job of removing debris and dirt, but it can't always be able to reach every particle of dust. This is why it's important to make use of your regular vacuum once every week, particularly to remove dust from corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums and mop, is made to accomplish this. It is simple to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped down version of the more expensive S-series models from the company, which includes the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but cuts down on cost by eliminating mopping and using a less expensive plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've seen at this price even though it's not able to clean your floors. It has a suction power of 5500Pa and an automatic-empty system so you don't need to empty the bin manually each time. It comes with a smart app that lets you schedule cleaning times and choose the floor type. It also comes with an automatic water tank filling and washing system for hands-free operation.

Its mops are also awe-inspiring, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on both carpets and hard floors. The Q5 was among the few robots that we tested that did not have issues with high-pile carpets and rugs. However, it did not remove kitty-poop or cable tangles. This isn't surprising as it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle-avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we've tested. It also utilizes a unique system to map your home, which allows it to get into places that other vacuums can't reach. It also collects more dust in the bin, which means you don't need to empty it as often. Furthermore, it comes with washable filters that further lower the costs associated with using the device. The robot cleaner with mop can recognize carpets, and boost suction when needed. You can also mark areas you would like the robot cleaner to avoid using the app.
