best robot vacuum and mop - reviews over at Iup, Combos
robot cleaner vacuums and mops are becoming more capable. They pass our tests on cleaning and can handle various flooring. Choose models that allow users to select between different modes, self-empty and clean stairs.
Many of the top models work with your smartphone. Find an app that lets you save maps, schedules and select cleaning modes.
1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
Eufy's gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum cleaner best vacuums and mop combos on the market. It uses lidar to navigate, create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set schedules and customize the S1's behaviour.
The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which comprises flooring in the kitchen, dining area and bathrooms and a medium-pile and a large rug. It was able to drive close to walls without colliding with them, and was able to drive across raised room thresholds with no issue, though it occasionally was unable to navigate down the stairs in one step. The S1 also did a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors by dragging its mop effortlessly on its flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it reached carpet or rugs.
Prior to each mopping session the docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and refills its water tank with filtered, clean water ozonated. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water for deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough for about 12 cleaning sessions before needing to be cleaned, although it will differ based the amount you use the mop.
The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like all 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 swivel wheel and sensors regularly 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 a powerful solution for cleaning. Its robot cleaner vacuum has 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a number innovative features including voice control and smart path planning that cleans around furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping ability is impressive. Rotating mop heads actually lift the floor and scrub it, rather than just dragging a pad across the surface. The mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station when needed.
This robot combo has a simple interface that guides you throughout the process. It includes a rechargeable hand vacuum for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot isn't able to reach and two water tanks that are automatically emptied and filled when needed. It comes with a range of useful settings that allow you to fine tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does well at vacuuming, with strong suction that easily removes most debris and even the tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation abilities are also decent, but it can be stuck on small area mats and rugs around my home (which you can alleviate by defining virtual boundaries in the app). Mopping capabilities are very good with a pair of spinning mop pads that are able to lift and scrub floors instead of simply drag the pad across it. The mops can also be cleaned with hot water and dried in the basestation as required. The mops are also filled at the top of the station as required.
3. Dreame X40 Ultra
Dreame released the luxe X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new flagship model of robot mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It offers outstanding cleaning results and hands-off maintenance making it a top contender for our best mop and robot vacuum list. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition, and an extended side brush guarantee a thorough, customised clean.
The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It is a great choice on carpets and hard floors. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests well, avoiding pet hairs and other dirt. The sweeping power is enhanced by a side brush that automatically swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.
Its navigation is smart, navigating tight spaces and negotiating stairs without skipping a beat. It can go from one room to the next without having to reverse direction. This is useful for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than the ones of other competitors and leaves a wide space around obstacles. This could lead to missing spots.
Its app has a streamlined user interface that is designed to be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings. You can also alter suction power, mop setting as well as view 2D and 3-D maps. You can control it through the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. But, you'll need a stable Wi-Fi connection in order to operate it through the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
A robot vacuum does a great job of removing dirt and debris however, it's not able to be able to reach every piece of dust. This is why it's crucial to make use of your regular vacuum once every week, particularly to pick up dust in corners and on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that both vacuums and mops, is designed to do exactly that. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more convenient 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 the same LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves cost by removing mopping and using a lower-cost plastic body.
The Q5 remains one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've seen in this price range even though it's not able to wipe your floor. It's got a powerful suction power of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, which means you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It also comes with a smart app that lets you select your floor's type and schedule cleanings, and an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system for hands-free operation.
Its mops are also impressive, with a 2700Pa power that can tackle dirt and pet hair, on both carpets and hard flooring. The Q5 is one of the few robots we tested that didn't have any issues with high-pile carpets or area rug, but it was unable to clean up kitty litter or cable tangles and cable tangles, which isn't a surprise since it does not include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robot vacuum we've ever tested. It also uses a unique mapping system that allows it to reach tight spaces and corners that other vacuums cannot. The device also stores dust in a larger dustbin that means you have empty it less frequently. Additionally, it has washable filters, which reduces the expenses associated with using the device. This robot can detect carpets, and increase suction if needed. The app also lets you to mark areas that you want it to avoid, which is a nice feature.
