The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a good option if you're looking to buy an affordable mop and robot vacuum. It provides a fantastic mopping experience but lacks the features that make up its more expensive counterpart.

During tests it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats from carpets with a medium-pile. However, like cheaper models, it doesn't use LIDAR to map out your home.

1. IRobot Roomba S9+

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top robot vacuums. It is a powerful cleaner and numerous features, including an automatic dirt bin built into its charging base. This robot can learn your habits for cleaning and suggest automatic schedules to provide you with an effortless cleaning experience.

The iRobot Home App guides you through the process of setting up. Once everything is connected, you can begin the automatic cleaning functions at the click of a button. You can choose the general clean option which focuses on the elimination of larger particles like cereal and rice. You can also select two detailed mappings to ensure that the entire home is cleaned thoroughly.

This robot vac performs well on floors that are unfinished and carpet with a low pile. It can take in large objects and doesn't lose suction as rapidly as other models do and can clean up pet hair with ease. It's not the best time with high-pile or plush carpet, however iRobot claims it will improve with future models.

The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that focuses on enhancing edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt an open-fronted, flat-fronted design, which will allow it to hug furniture and walls. It's a significant improvement over hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are common however we found it to be only marginally superior to circular models.

iRobot claims that the S9+ also features an advanced filtration system, which prevents tiny particles and allergens from circulating throughout your home. We think it's a nice statement but not enough to justify a higher price.

Its smart navigation system uses a combination of sensors to remember your home's layout and vSLAM technology to map your interior. It can then clean your entire home efficiently by avoiding obstacles such as stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home app lets you control the robot and schedule cleaning times, and create virtual boundary markers, so that it is aware of areas that need extra attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robotic that combines vacuuming and mopping. Its vacuum settings are as effective as those on higher-end models, and its mopping system is even better. Its spinning pads do a more impressive job of cleaning your floors than a stationary vibration pad.

The only issue is the absence of a second brush to allow for deeper cleaning. However, that's not a problem when you're looking to purchase one of the top robots on the market. The dust tank on the robo-vac is larger than its competitors, and filling it takes just two or three times, even when you've got the most dirt.

For the mopping device, I was awestruck with its ability to remove the tough dirt off my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest, which are less aggressive than the higher-powered ones create little noise, allowing you to work or watch TV without distraction. If it comes across a wall or piece of furniture it gently bumps into it and moves on.

The Q Revo is unique in that it operates almost entirely on its own, requiring only minimal user involvement. The robo-vac has a multifunction dock that automatically moves physical garbage into the hidden bin and cleans and drys the mop pads and refills its clean water tank. The app will only inform you when something is wrong like low water levels or a vacuuming session that is cancelled due to the bin being full.

You can also design and merge actual rooms to alter how the Q Revo treats your abode. That's a handy feature to have if you have several rooms in your home that have different floor materials or if there's items that need to be cleaned out frequently, such as toys, clothes and books. The robo-vac is also efficient and was one of the top performers in my tests, taking debris from both carpets and hardwood floors in the first attempt. It is able to vacuum up wet spills. I suggest drying the area with a towel prior to sending it to.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum combo that comes with all the features you could want. It has a rotating mop and a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets as well as hard floors. It is similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also has an auto-cleaning base station that automatically cleans and empty the mop pads, keeping them germ-free and ready for use again. It also comes with a sensor that can detect obstacles better, allowing it to avoid falling on furniture and other objects.

The most significant improvement to the ECOVACS X1 Deebot is its sleeker, more modern design. This is thanks to Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. The robot is still large--it is more than two feet in the height and depth and weighs in at least four pounds. However, the robot and its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo and iRobot J7.

This version is also more efficient than the X1 one, because it has faster battery charging and can complete a cleaning of around 1,500 square feet in one charge. And it has a larger, more durable dustbin to hold more debris and is easier to empty when required.

The X2 Omni also has a more intuitive voice assistant and an app that is functional even when you're at home. It also has an intelligent routing feature that allows it to clean specific rooms or areas of your home, instead of following a predetermined route.

The Omni Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested because of its mop pads that rotate to scrub away tough stains and a motor that generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is top-notch, and it boosts suction when it senses a carpet to ensure a thorough cleaning. It also has a huge battery that can last for several weeks between charges and its mopping mode is as effective as the ones we've seen on an ordinary robot.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot mop and vacuum is a premium model that offers a number of convenience features not often found on robots of this price. It can make detailed floor maps and identify different flooring types. It's also among the few robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These features are nice, but they also make the L10s more of a class of luxury. This could make it more expensive than homeowners need.

The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaning machine. It is slim and tall and has a white-colored finish accented with silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by an enormous bumper, which helps protect furniture and the vacuum from damage when moving through the house. Sensors are hidden behind the front pane, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum there is a single button that serves as an on/off switch. This button will turn on the vacuum. Clicking it again will shut it off and send it back to its base station. The central control panel has the circular menu which lets you choose cleaning modes, schedules, and preferences. The left and right buttons below the screen will bring up the settings menu of the app where you can alter how the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.

Like the iRobot Roomba S9+ and Roborock Q Revo, the L10s Ultra uses a combination of LIDAR and camera-based navigation technology to map out your house. This helps the robot here clean and mop efficiently, without getting stuck. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or small children.

The L10s Ultra has a solid vacuuming capability that clears 98.4 percent of debris from our test on the hard floor and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice stains. The mops are also efficient, taking away 98.4 percent of debris from our wood, tile, and carpet tests. However, it wasn't quite as great at tackling sand on the floor or Quaker oats on carpet.
