The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo A robot vacuum/mop combination is the best solution for pets that shed fur. This machine can vacuum, mop and clean its own dual mop pad. It also has the greatest suction power of any robot we've tested, with 8,000Pa. It can also save your home's maps and schedule cleaning schedules using its app. 1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest model in Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet-dry model is equipped with Ecovacs' upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system uses dual-laser LiDAR — similar to what you'd find in self-driving cars and is able to scan an area of up to 32 feet wide by 270 degrees. This results in more precise mapping as well as faster response time and better cleaning accuracy. It also comes with a rotating mopping pad made of chenille, which makes it much easier to scrub difficult areas as opposed to traditional mopping. During my tests the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and was ready to go. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models that seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was able to navigate the corners and edges of my rooms, and also create “Zambani patterns” across the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dust bin and clean the mop using hot water before beginning another task of cleaning. The X2 Omni is as easy to use and set up as the other Ecovacs products. It takes just minutes to put the dock in place, plug it in, and pair with your home Wi-Fi network. After that, you can start the app and start with your first task of cleaning. I was able to dig into the settings and modify my floor plan in about 15 minutes, including creating restricted areas for sweeping and mopping as well as reworking my wall-mounted furniture placements, and so on. The X2 Omni was astonished during my tests, scoring outstanding scores in the removal of pet hair and debris cleaning and close to perfect results in cleaning crevices and edges. 2. Deebot T10 Omni The EcoVACS T10 Omni is an extremely powerful mopping and vacuum machine. It is the most advanced model of the brand's T-line, and features the latest OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide more effective cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbers. It also has YIKO built-in, a first-of-its-kind natural language processing technology that allows it to respond to a variety of voice commands. The ECOVACS App lets you design your home, create cleaning schedules and modify settings. The biggest con with the T10 Omni is that it's not able to switch from mopping to vacuuming in one run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach and remove mop heads according to your needs. This is great for the majority of households, but not so for people who have a busy schedule. However, the Deebot Omni is an excellent robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests on pet hair. It vacuumed up more than 96% of the particles we threw at it on our hardwood floors which is an impressive performance. It was a success on tiles and carpets cleaning up 99% of dirt. This robot vacuum and mop has large docking systems that allows for automatic cleaning with cool mop pads. It also features an auto-emptying 3L bag that's easy to replace and hot air drying for fast and simple maintenance. It also has a large reservoir of water that allows it to be washed and dried more often between mopping sessions. The Deebot T10 comes with a wash tray that is built 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 it is using them. It doesn't have a removable tray, so dust, dirt and other grime will gradually build up on the bottom. 3. RoboVac X8 hybrid This is the first mopping model from Anker which is well-known for its robot vacuums. It is equipped with upgraded intelligence, multiple map support, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that adjusts automatically to the surface you are cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner although it can't meet its promise to be a one-stop shop for floor cleaning. The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It is a circular design with sweeping wheels, and a raised sensor area. However, flip it over, and you'll find an electric floor brush as well as one side sweeper brush which pushes dirt from the edges into the main pathway of the robot's mouth. It's a little smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under couches and chairs. Its mapping system is reasonably sophisticated, allowing you to set no-mop zones as well as specific cleaning zones. However robotvacuummops is prone to hit things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always adept in climbing over rugs. It was capable of removing pet hair on floors that were not paved, though, and in our tests, it was able to pick up 89.5 percent of cat litter – a figure that is higher than all but the strongest robots we've examined. Although it's controlled through the app and the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with a series of physical buttons on its base, which allow you to select a cleaning mode, and turn the robot off and on. These buttons can be used to establish zones that are not allowed to be visited and to look up maps in real-time. It's a little chatty, as well, and will inform you of what it's planning to do next (“start cleaning”) or even warn you that something's wrong (it doesn't have enough power to charge, for example). 4. ILIFE A4s This model of high-tech vacuum can remove pet hair, kibble, and other particles with impressive effectiveness. It can also move effortlessly around furniture legs. It also comes with an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes and a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The device that is Wi-Fi-connected can be controlled best through the Neato App, where cleanings are scheduled and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a carpet, hard carpet and flooring, however it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck on power cords, toys or other unexpected obstacles. This robot was very successful in our tests of hardwood floors and food particles. It was able to pick up everything, from one rice grain to several dog food pieces, with only one sweep. It had a bit of trouble transitioning to rugs, however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is perfect for rooms that have both types of flooring and a variety of pets. The A4s Pro is a bit expensive but it's an excellent purchase for those who want to to leave the house hands-free so they can take on other tasks or perform household chores. The A4s Pro also offers a handy auto cleaning mode that boosts suction power to handle tough spills and dirt and includes batteries that power the ElectroWall that allows you to define boundaries where the robot isn't permitted to be allowed to enter. This budget-friendly model from a well-known new brand is the most affordable we've ever tested and offers incredible value for the money. The basic navigation system employs an extremely basic random pathing algorithm that isn't equipped with room mapping capabilities, making it less time efficient than the other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and into the corners. Its mopping mode performed very well in our tests by picking up hairs and other debris. 5. Shark iQ Shark's iQ isn't quite as sturdy as the Roomba S9, but it does a better job overall in getting rid of pet hair from all surfaces. It does a better job of cleaning low-pile carpet and floors that are not covered. It also uses smart-pathing navigational software for greater maneuverability. It also allows you to send it to a specific area, and its advanced set of automation features include no-go zones and scheduling. It also allows you to suspend and resume cleaning sessions, making it perfect for homes that have pets. The self-cleaning brushroll is able to prevent knots from pet hair and other debris, and its self-emptying docking station can hold up to 30 days worth of dirt before needing to be empty. It also comes with an array of angled side brushes that go deep into corners, and its multi-stage filter system is able to capture dust, dander and allergens to ensure a healthier air. This robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. It is compatible with an app on your smartphone that allows you to change the vacuum's settings and schedule cleaning times ahead of time. The app allows you to view the remaining battery life of the iQ, and send push notifications when it encounters any issues during the cleaning session. You can also control it using your voice with an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices you can mark the boundaries of your area with physical boundary lines. The iQ can do a decent job of cleaning floors and does a decent job on low-pile and shaggy carpet however, it doesn't have the same degree of autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly and the recurring costs can become expensive over time.
