The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a great option if you're looking for a robotic mop and vacuum that's mid-range. It offers a great mopping experience but lacks the features that make up its more expensive sibling.
In tests, it was able remove pet hair and dry oats out of medium-pile carpets. It doesn't employ LIDAR, however, like cheaper models do to map your home.
Roomba s9+ iRobot from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top-rated robot vacuums. It is loaded with features and incredible cleaning power, including the dirt compartment integrated into the base of charging. This robot can recognize your habits for cleaning and recommend automatic schedules to give you an effortless cleaning experience.
The iRobot Home App guides you through the setup process. Once everything is connected, you can start the automated cleaning functions with the click of a button. You can choose an overall clean that emphasizes cleaning up larger debris like rice and cereal or two detailed maps of your area to ensure your entire home has a clean and tidy appearance.
This robot vacuum performs well on both floors that are bare and carpets with low pile. It is able to pick up pet hair and sucks big objects up. It doesn't lose its suction as quickly as other robot vacuums. It's a challenge with high-pile carpets or plush carpets however, iRobot says that future models will be better.
The S9+ features a new design from iRobot, which is focused on improving edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted, D-shaped design, which it hopes will allow it to fit into furniture and walls. It's an improvement over the hockey puck-shaped robovacs that are standard, but we found it to be only marginally better than circular models.
iRobot also claims the S9+ comes with an advanced filtering system that stops microscopic dust particles and allergens from recirculating throughout your home. It's a nice claim, however, we're not convinced that it's enough to justify the price tag.
Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to remember the structure of your home, and vSLAM to map the interior of your home. It can then clean your entire home efficiently by avoiding obstacles like stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and create virtual boundary markers so that the robot can determine which areas need extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
Roborock Q Revo is a machine that combines mopping and vacuuming. Its vacuum settings are just as effective as those found on more expensive models. And its mopping system is better as its spinning pads scrub floors better than an ordinary pad that vibrates.
The only downside is that it doesn't have an additional rubber brush to allow for deeper cleaning, but that's an affordable price to pay if you want one of the best robots on the market. The dust tank of the robo-vac is bigger than most of its competitors. Filling it takes just two or three times, even when you've got a lot of dirt.
In terms of the mopping device, I was awestruck by its ability to remove tough dirt from my floors. Its two lowest mopping modes, which are less aggressive than the high-powered ones, create very little noise, which allows you to work or watch TV without distraction. It will gently hit furniture or walls, and then move on if it comes across one.
What really sets the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to function almost completely autonomously, requiring only a little for human intervention. The dock of the robo-vac has multiple functions and automatically transfers trash into a hidden bin. It also cleans, dries more info and refills the clean water tank. The app is capable of nagging you only when something needs attention, like the water tank that is running out of clean or a scheduled vacuuming session that was cancelled because of a full dust bin.
You can also create or combine rooms to customize the way that Q Revo manages your home. That's a handy feature for those who have multiple areas of the home with different flooring materials or if there's a lot of items that need to be cleared out frequently, such as clothes, toys and books. The robot vacuum is also efficient and was among the top performers during my tests, picking up dirt from carpets and hardwood floors in the first attempt. It can even clean up spills that are wet but I would suggest wiping them dry using a clean cloth before bringing the robot into.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd expect from a premium robot vacuum and mop combo and more. It comes with the ability to rotate mops 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 an auto-cleaning base station that automatically cleans and empty the mop pads, ensuring that they remain them clean and ready for use again. It also has a sensor that recognizes obstacles better and prevents it from falling onto furniture and other objects.
The most notable improvement over the ECOVACS the X1 Deebot is its modern, sleeker design. This is thanks to the Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. While still quite massive--it's nearly two feet tall and deep and weighs in excess of four pounds--the robot itself and its base are much less bulky than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.
This version is more efficient than the X1 as 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 needed.
The X2 Omni also has a more natural voice assistant as well as an app that works even if you are not at home. It also comes with additional mopping modes as well as a smart routing feature that allows you to clean certain rooms or areas of your home instead just following a specific path.
The X2 Omni is the top mopping robot. Its rotating mop pads scrub away tough stains, and its motor produces plenty of downward pressure. The vacuuming capabilities are also top-notch, and it boosts suction when it senses a carpet to ensure a thorough cleaning. It comes with a huge, rechargeable battery that can last up to a week. The mopping feature of the robot is also very effective.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a premium mop and robot vacuum that comes with a variety of convenience features you do not often find on robots at this price range. It can build precise floor maps, recognize different flooring types and is 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 make it more expensive than what homeowners would need.
The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaning machine. It's tall and slim, with a white finish, accentuated by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by an enormous bumper, which helps protect furniture and vacuum cleaners from damage when moving around the house. Sensors are concealed behind the front panel, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the screen, you'll find one button that basically is a switch for on and off. The button will activate the vacuum. Clicking it again will turn it off and send it to its base station. The circular menu in the center of the control panel lets you to choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons below the screen will open the app's settings menu where you can modify how the L10s Ultra integrates 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 out your home. This helps the robot mop and vacuum efficiently without getting stuck. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them as obstacles, which is an excellent feature for households with pets or young children.
The L10s Ultra is a powerful vacuum cleaner, which removes 98.4% debris from our test on hard floors, and taking out all but stubborn juice staining. Its mops are also quite efficient, removing 98.4 percent of the debris that was found on our wood, tile, and carpet tests. However, it wasn't as great at tackling sand on the floor, or quaker oats on the carpet.
