The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a good option for those looking for a mid-range robot vacuum and mop. It's a great mopping capability, but it lacks some of the features that are found in its more expensive counterpart.

During tests it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats out of medium-pile carpets. It does not use LIDAR, however, as cheaper models do to locate your home.

1. Roomba S9+ from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuum is one of the most highly-rated robots. It is a powerful cleaner and a variety of features such as a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. The robot also learns your habits of cleaning and suggest schedules that are automatic to ensure you have a hands-free experience.

The setup process is simple thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the procedure. Once everything is connected, you can start the automated cleaning functions with the touch of a button. You can select an overall clean which focuses on the elimination of larger pieces of debris like cereal and rice. You can also opt for two thorough mappings to ensure that your entire home is completely cleaned.

This vacuum works well both on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It can take in large objects and doesn't lose suction as quickly as some others do and can remove pet hair with ease. It has a difficult time with plush or high-pile carpet, however iRobot says it will get better with future models.

The S9+ features a new design from iRobot, which focuses on enhancing corner and edge cleaning. It's the very first Roomba that has a flat-fronted D-shaped design. The company hopes that this will allow it hug furniture and walls. It's a nice change from the hockey puck-like design of robovacs, but we discovered it to be only marginally better than circular models.

iRobot claims that the S9+ also features an advanced filtration system which blocks micro-sized particles and allergens from circulating within your home. It's a nice claim, however, we're not convinced it's enough to justify the price cost.

Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to remember the arrangement of your home and vSLAM for mapping the interior. It then cleans your entire home efficiently by avoiding obstacles such as stairs and other obstacles. The iRobot Home app lets you control the robot and set cleaning times, as well as establish virtual boundary markers, so it knows to avoid areas that need extra attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

When it comes to robots that combine mopping and vacuuming the Roborock Q Revo is a standout. Its vac settings are as efficient as those found on higher-end models, and its mopping system is better still--its spinning pads do a more impressive job of scrubbing your floors than a stationary vibration pad.

The only downside is that it does not have an additional rubber brush to allow to provide more thorough cleaning, but that's an acceptable price to pay if you are looking for one of the top robots on the market. The robo-vac's dust tank is also larger than many of its rivals, and it takes just two or three cycles to fill it up, even at the highest dirt level.

In terms of the mopping system, I was amazed by its ability to scrub hard dirt off my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest that are less aggressive than the more powerful ones, create minimal noise, allowing you to work or even watch TV without interruption. It will gently hit furniture or walls and then move on whenever it comes across one.

The Q Revo is unique in that it runs almost entirely on its own, requiring only minimal user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac has multiple functions and can automatically transfer trash into a hidden bin. It also washes and dries, as well as refills the clean water tank. The app is good at notifying you when something requires attention, like the water tank being empty or a scheduled cleaning session having been canceled due to a full dust bin.

You can also create or merge actual rooms to personalize the way Q Revo manages your home. That's a handy feature to have if you have several areas of the home with different flooring materials or there's clutter that needs to be cleaned out frequently, like clothes, toys and books. The robo-vac is also very efficient and was one of the top performers in my tests, taking debris from both carpets and hardwood floors in the first attempt. It can also remove wet spills however I would recommend wiping them dry with a cloth before sending the robot in.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum that has all the features you could need. It has a rotating mop and a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets as well as hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also comes with a self-cleaning station that automatically washes and empties the mop pads to keep them fresh and ready for reuse. It also has a sensor system that detects obstacles more accurately which allows it to avoid falling on furniture and other objects.

The biggest difference over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this model is sleeker and more modern design due to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for its Bang & Olufsen products). Although it's still quite large--it's more than two feet high and deep and weighs almost four pounds--the robot itself and its base are less bulky than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.

This version is also more efficient than the X1 version, since it has faster battery charging and can handle a complete cleaning of around 1,500 square feet with just one charge. It also has a larger and more robust dustbin that can store more debris. This makes it easier to empty.

The X2 Omni also has a more intuitive voice assistant and an app that can be used even when you're at home. It also has a smart routing function that allows it to clean specific areas or rooms of your home, instead of following a set path.

The X2 Omni is the top mopping robot. Its mop pads that rotate remove tough stains and its motor produces a lot of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is outstanding too and it increases suction when it detects carpets to ensure that it does an excellent job. It comes with a huge rechargeable battery that lasts up to seven days. The mopping feature of the robot is also extremely effective.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a premium mop and vacuum robot that comes with a host of convenience features that you do not often find on robots of this price range. It can make precise floor maps and recognize different types of flooring. It's also among the few robots that can automatically clean and dry its mop pad. But while these functions are nice to have, they also push the L10s Ultra into the luxury category and could mean it's somewhat more expensive than the average homeowner require.

The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaning machine. It's tall and slim, with a white finish that is complemented by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by a huge bumper, which protects the vacuum and furniture from damage when moving through the home. Sensors are concealed behind the front panel, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button which is used as an on/off switch. By pressing this button, you can activate the vacuum, and pressing it again will turn off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The control panel includes the circular menu which allows you to select cleaning modes, schedules, and preferences. The left and right buttons will allow you to access the settings in the app, which allow you to customize how top robot vacuum the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.

The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination LIDAR and cameras-based navigation technology to map out your home. This creates a precise floor plan that enables the robot vacuum and mop efficiently, without getting stuck in messy areas. The LIDAR also helps the robot vacuum to recognize and avoid obstacles which is a great feature for households with children or pets.

The L10s Ultra is a powerful vacuum cleaner, removing 98.4 percent of debris from our test on hardwood floors and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice stains. The mops are also efficient, clearing 98.4 percent of debris from our tile, wood, and carpet tests. It was not as effective in removing sand from our hard flooring or quaker oats off the carpet.
