The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is an excellent choice if you're seeking a robot mop and vacuum that's priced in the middle. It provides a fantastic mopping experience, but it lacks the features that make up its more expensive counterpart.
During testing it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats from carpets with a medium pile. 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 among the best-rated robots. It offers impressive cleaning power and plenty of features that include the self-emptying dirt container built into its charging base. It can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automated schedules for a truly hands-free experience.
It's easy to set up thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the procedure. Once everything is connected, you can begin the automated cleaning functions with the touch of a button. You can choose a general clean which focuses on the elimination of larger particles like rice and cereal. You can also opt for two thorough mappings to ensure that your entire home is cleaned thoroughly.
This robot vacuum is effective on floors that are unfinished and carpets with low pile. It is able to pick up pet hair and also suck big objects up. It doesn't lose its suction as fast as some other robot vacuums. It has a difficult time with plush or high-pile carpet, but iRobot promises it will get better with the next models.
The S9+ features a new design from iRobot that concentrates on improving edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted D-shaped design, which will allow it to be able to swaddle furniture and walls. It's a step up from the hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are standard, but we found it only marginally better than circular models.
iRobot also claims the S9+ has a superior filtering system that blocks microscopic dust particles and allergens from recirculating within your home. We like the statement, but not enough to justify a premium price.
Its smart navigation system employs a combination of sensors to remember the layout of your home and vSLAM technology for mapping the interior. This allows it to stay clear of obstacles, such as stairs and other barriers, and also to clean your whole home in the most efficient manner possible. The iRobot Home app lets you control the robot and set cleaning times, and set up virtual boundary markers, so that it knows to avoid areas that require more attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
When it is about robots that combine vacuuming and mopping and mopping, the Roborock Q revo stands out. Its vacuum settings are just as good as those on higher-end models. The mopping system is superior as its spinning pads scrub your floors much more effectively than a vibrating pad.
The only downside is that it lacks an additional rubber brush to allow for more thorough cleaning, but that's an acceptable price to pay if you are looking for one of the top robots available. The robo-vac's tank for dust is larger than many of its competitors and it takes only two or three cycles to fill it, even at the highest dirt level.
In terms of the mopping system, I was impressed by its ability to scrub hard dirt off my floors. Its two lowest mopping settings which are less powerful than high-powered modes, produce very low noise, which means you can work or watch television without being distracted. If it encounters the wall or a piece of furniture it gently bumps into it and moves forward.
The Q Revo is unique in that it operates almost autonomously, with little user involvement. The robo-vac features a multi-function dock that automatically moves physical trash into the bin hidden in the background and also washes and dry the mop pads and refills its clean water tank. The app will only notify you when something is wrong like a low clean water tank or a cancelled vacuuming session due to an empty bin.
You can also create or combine actual rooms in order to customize the way that Q Revo handles your home. This feature is useful for those who have different flooring in different areas of your home, or if you need to regularly clear out clutter such as clothes, toys and books. The robo-vac is also efficient and was among the top performers in my tests, picking up debris from both carpets and hardwood floors in the first attempt. It can even clean up spills that are wet however I would recommend cleaning them off with a damp cloth prior to 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 and more. It comes with 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 station that automatically washes and empties the mop pads, keeping them fresh and ready for reuse. It also comes with a sensor that can detect obstacles better which allows it to avoid falling on furniture or other objects.
The biggest improvement to the ECOVACS the 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 big. It measures over two feet in both height and depth, and weighs almost four pounds. However, the robot and its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo and iRobot J7.
This version is more efficient than the X1 since it charges faster and can clean 1,500 square feet in a single charge. It also has a bigger dustbin that is more durable and can hold more debris which makes it easier to empty when required.
Additionally, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app as well as voice assistant that operates offline, allowing you to manage it even when away from home. It also has more mopping modes and an intelligent routing feature that allows you to clean specific rooms or areas of your home instead of just following a set route.
The Omni X2 Omni is the most effective mopping mop vacuum robot performance of any robot we've tested, because of its rotating mop pads that remove tough stains and a motor that generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is outstanding too and it enhances suction when it detects carpet to ensure it does an excellent job. It also has a massive battery that can last for several weeks between charges and its mopping mode is as efficient as anything we've seen in a consumer-grade robot.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a high-end robot vacuum and mop that comes with a variety of convenience features that you aren't likely to find on robots at this price. It is able to create detailed floor maps and identify various flooring types. It's also among the only robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These are nice features, but they also place the L10s in the luxury category. This could mean it's more expensive than homeowners need.
Designed to look like a modern floor cleaner, the L10s Ultra is a tall and slim machine with an elegant white finish that's enhanced by mirror-plated silver elements. The front of the machine is adorned with an enormous bumper that shields the furniture and vacuum cleaner when you are moving around your home. Sensors are hidden behind the front pane, which help the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top, there's one button that basically serves as the on/off switch. Clicking this will turn on the vacuum, while clicking it again will turn off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The control panel includes an oblique menu that lets you choose cleaning modes or schedules, as well as preferences. The left and right buttons open the settings of the app where you can alter the way the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.
The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination of LIDAR and cameras-based navigation technology to map your home. This allows the robot to mop and vacuum efficiently without getting stuck. The LIDAR assists the robot vacuum to avoid obstacles and recognize them, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or small children.
The L10s Ultra is an extremely powerful vacuum cleaner, removing 98.4% debris from our test on hard floors, and taking out all but stubborn juice stains. The mops also work well in removing 98.4 percent of debris from our carpet, tile and wood tests. However, it wasn't quite as great at tackling sand on the floor or the quaker oats that are on carpet.
