Ten Best Robot Vacuum And Mops That Really Change Your Life

The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a great choice if you're seeking a robot vacuum and mop that is middle-of-the-road. It has a great mopping performance but lacks some of the advanced features of its more expensive counterpart.

During tests it was able to eliminate pet hair and dry oats from medium-pile carpets. However, unlike other models, it doesn't employ LIDAR to determine the layout of your home.

1. Roomba S9+ from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuum is one of the best-rated robots. It has impressive cleaning power and a variety of features, including a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. It can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest schedules that are automatic to ensure you have a hands-free experience.

The iRobot Home App guides you through the setup process. Once the system is in place it can begin automated cleaning with a single button click. You can select an overall clean that focuses on the removal of larger debris such as cereal and rice. You can also choose two mappings to ensure that the entire home is completely cleaned.

This robot vac performs well on both bare floors and carpet with a low pile. It sucks up large items and does not lose suction as fast as other models do and can pick up pet hair without difficulty. It's a challenge with high-pile carpets or plush carpets, but iRobot says that future models will be better.

The S9+ features a new design from iRobot, which focuses on improving edge and corner cleaning. It's the very first Roomba that adopts flat-fronted D-shaped designs. The company hopes this will allow it to be able to hug the furniture and walls. It's a nice improvement over the hockey puck-like design of the majority of robovacs. However, we found it to be marginally better than circular models.

iRobot also claims that the S9+ has an advanced filtering system that stops tiny dust particles and allergens from circulating throughout your home. We like the claim, but not enough to justify a higher price.

Its intelligent navigation system makes use of a combination of sensors to keep track of your home's layout, and vSLAM technology to map your interior. It then cleans your entire house efficiently by avoiding obstacles such as stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and also set virtual boundaries to ensure that the robot is aware of what areas require extra attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robot that combines vacuuming and mopping. Its vacuum settings are just as good as those found on more expensive models. The mopping system is even better because its spinning pads scrub floors better than the vibrating pads.

The only issue is the absence of a second brush for more thorough cleaning. However, it's not a big deal for those who want to own one of the best robot vacuum for hard floors robots on the market. The dust tank of the robo-vac is bigger than most of its competitors, and filling it up only takes two or three times, even when you have maximum dirt.

For the mopping device, I was awestruck by its ability to scrub tough dirt from my floors. The two mopping settings that it has that are less powerful than the high-powered ones, create little noise, so you can work or watch TV without being distracted. It will gently hit a wall or furniture and then move on if it comes across one.

What makes the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to run nearly completely on its own, with no need for user intervention. The robo-vac has a multifunction dock that can automatically transfer physical trash to the bin hidden from view and washes and drys mop pads and replenishes its clean water tank. The app is good at alerting you when something requires attention, such as the clean water tank running low or a scheduled cleaning session having been canceled due to a full dust bin.

You can also design and merge actual rooms to customize how the Q Revo treats your abode. This feature is useful for those who have different flooring in different areas of your home, or in the event that you have to regularly get rid of clutter like clothes, toys, and books. The robot vacuum was also one of the top performers in my test and was able to remove debris from carpets and hardwood floors with the first go. It can even remove wet spills, though I recommend wiping them dry with a cloth before sending the robot into.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd expect from a high-end robot vacuum and mop combo and more. It has the ability to rotate mops and a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets and hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also has a self-cleaning base station that automatically empties and washes the mop pads, keeping them germ-free and ready for use again. It also comes with a sensor that recognizes obstacles better and prevents it from falling on furniture and other objects.

The biggest difference over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this model has a sleeker, more modern design thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best robot vacuum for hardwood floors known for Bang & Olufsen products). Although it's still quite large--it's more than two feet high and deep and weighs in excess of four pounds--the robot itself and its base are much smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.

This model is more efficient than the X1 since it charges faster and mops can clean 1,500 square feet in one charge. Additionally, it comes with a larger, more durable dustbin to hold more debris and is easier to empty when needed.

Lastly it is worth noting that the X2 Omni has a more user-friendly app and voice assistant that operates offline, which means you can control it even when you're away from home. It also has more mopping options and a smart routing feature that gives it the flexibility to clean certain rooms or areas of your home instead of simply following a predetermined path.

The X2 Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested thanks to its rotating mop pads that scrub away tough stains and a motor that produces plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming is excellent as well, and it boosts suction when it detects carpets to ensure that it does an excellent job. It has a large, rechargeable battery that can last up to seven days. The mopping feature of the robot is also very effective.

4. Dreametech L10s Ultra

The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop that comes with a range of features that you do not often find on robots of this price range. It has the ability to create detailed floor maps, identify various flooring types, and it's one of the few robots that automatically wash and dry the mop pads. These are nice features but they also make the L10s more of a premium category. This could mean it's more expensive than homeowners need.

The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaner. It is slim and tall, with a white finish that is complemented by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine features an enormous bumper that shields the furniture and vacuum cleaner when you are moving around your home. Behind the pane at the front is an additional navigation technology in the form of sensors that aid the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.

On the top of the vacuum there is a single button which serves as an on/off switch. The button will activate the vacuum. Clicking it again will shut it off and send it to its base station. The circular menu in the middle of the control panel lets users to select cleaning options as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons beneath the screen will open up the app's settings menu where you can alter how the L10s Ultra integrates with your home.

Similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+ and Roborock Q Revo, the L10s Ultra uses a combination of LIDAR and camera-based navigation technology to help you map out your home. This helps the robot vacuum and mop effectively without getting stuck. The LIDAR assists the robot vacuum to avoid obstacles and identify them and avoid them, which is a great feature for homes with pets or small children.

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