11 Methods To Refresh Your Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mop are getting more powerful. They pass our tests on cleaning and can take care of various floors. Choose models that allow users to select between different types, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

Many of the best robot vacuum cleaner and mop models are compatible with smartphones. Find an app that lets you save schedules, maps and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It uses lidar for navigation, creating maps of rooms and floors.

When I tried the S1 It was quick to identify our downstairs, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, as well as medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls and even over raised thresholds without issue. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one step. The S1 also did an excellent job cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved smoothly on the flat side against the floor and lifting itself when it reached carpet or carpet.

The docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dust bin and refills its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water before every mopping session. The dock also provides a deep-cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about a dozen cleaning sessions before it has to be cleaned, although this will vary depending on how much you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. You'll need to wash out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheel and sensors frequently to avoid them from becoming clogged with dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is easy to maintain, especially compared to other combos that require more hands-on maintenance.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop provides an effective solution for your cleaning requirements. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa suction power, and comes with a variety of advanced features like voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. The mopping feature is impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor, instead of simply moving the pad across it. The mops can be dried and cleaned at the base station if required.

This robot has an easy interface that guides you throughout the process. It also comes with a hand-vacuum which can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot can't reach. There are also two water tanks that can be automatically emptied or filled. It has a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has a strong suction that is able to easily pick up dirt and other debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it could get stuck on small area mats and rugs at my home (which you can reduce by defining virtual boundaries in the app). Mopping capabilities are quite good with a pair of spinning mops which are able to lift and scrub floors instead of drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water and dried in the base station as needed. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station as needed.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was released earlier this year. However, their latest flagship model is packed with impressive features. It is a great cleaner and is simple to maintain. This makes it a worthy contender for our top list of mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a long side brush ensure an efficient, customized clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming and removing fine and large debris from both hard floors and carpets. It cleaned the dirtiest places of our tests with ease by avoiding pet hairs as well as other dirt. The sweeping power is enhanced by an additional side brush that automatically extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is nimble that can navigate tight spaces and negotiating the stairs without a hitch. It can move from one room to another without reversing direction which is a great feature for homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is less advanced than the ones of other competitors and leaves a large space between obstacles. This could lead to missed spots.

The app features a simple 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 suction power, mop settings and look up 3-D and 2-D maps. It can be controlled via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You'll need a stable internet connection to access the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are fantastic at picking up dirt and debris but they aren't able to reach all dust. It's important to vacuum regularly, once a week. This is especially important for dust that collects in corners, on shelves, and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed to accomplish exactly that. It is simple to connect to your WiFI network at home and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, which includes the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's cheaper since it doesn't have mopping capabilities and comes with a plastic body.

Even though it's not able to clean your floors, the Q5 still has the most impressive mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robot in this price range. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an auto-empty system which means you don't need to manually empty the bin every time. It comes with a smart application which allows you to schedule cleaning and choose the floor type. It also comes with an automatic hoover water tank filling system and washing system for hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive with 2700Pa of power to take on dust, dirt and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have trouble with high-pile carpets and area carpets, but it didn't remove cat litter or cable tangles, which is no surprise since it does not include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robot cleaner vacuums we have tested, it also utilizes a unique system to map your home, which really helps it get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums are unable to reach. It also collects dust in a larger dustbin that means you have to empty it less often. It also has washable filters which further reduces costs. This robot can also detect carpets and increase suction when needed. You can also mark areas you want the robot to avoid using the app.
