Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops have become more efficient, passing our tests for cleaning and taking on various floor types. Choose models that allow you to choose between multiple modes, self-empty and clean stairs.

A lot of the top models are compatible with smartphones. Check for an app that lets you save maps, create schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive mop and robot vacuum cleaners uk vacuum combos available. It uses lidar to navigate, and create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set up schedules and modify the S1's behavior.

When I tried the S1, it was able to identify the downstairs area, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, as well as medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was capable of driving up to walls and even across raised thresholds without issue. However, it had some difficulty navigating down the stairs in one go. 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 its own weight when it reaches carpet or rug.

The docking station of the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and replenishes its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated water before each mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water for deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however this will vary depending on the frequency you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure that it's operating efficiently. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheels and sensors frequently to avoid them from getting clogged by dirt or dust. However, overall the S1 is easy to maintain, particularly compared to other combos which require more effort to maintain.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs' all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is a powerful solution for cleaning. The robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction power and comes with a variety of innovative features including voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. Its mopping ability is impressive. Rotating mop pads actually lift floors and scrub it instead of just moving a pad across the surface. The mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station if required.

This robot combo is easy to set up and use, and has a clear interface that guides you through the procedure. It also comes with a hand vacuum which can be utilized to clean those difficult to reach areas that the robot can't reach. There are also two water tanks that are automatically emptied or filled. It has a variety of useful settings that allow you to fine tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete is a great vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful suction that can easily remove dust and debris that other robots struggle with. Its navigation abilities are also quite good, though it could get stuck on small mats and rugs in my home (which you can reduce by creating virtual boundaries in the app). Its mopping is quite good as well, with a pair of spin mop heads that actually lift and scrub the floors instead of just dragging the pad over it. The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station as needed. The mops are also refilled from the top of the base station when required.

3. Dreame X40 Ultra

Dreame launched the high-end X30 Ultra earlier this year and their new flagship model of robot mop and vacuum comes with more impressive features. It boasts fantastic cleaning results and hands-free maintenance, making it a clear contender for our top robot vacuum and mop list. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure that an effective, customized cleaning robot mop and vacuum is achieved.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, getting rid of both large and fine debris. It works equally well on carpets and hard floors. It also cleaned our tests' dirtiest areas well, eliminating pet hairs that are tangled and other dirt. The sweeping power is enhanced by an additional side brush that automatically moves out to tackle difficult-to-reach corners, as well as an extended mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.

Its navigation is smart it can navigate through small spaces and negotiating stairways without stepping back. It is able to move from one room to another without needing to reverse the direction. This is useful for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than its competitors, however, and tends to leave a wide margin around obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

The app's interface is intuitive and streamlined. It should be simple to use for both novices and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and manage cleanings. You can also adjust suction power, mop settings as well as look up 3-D and 2-D maps. You can control it via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use the X40 Ultra's camera remotely, for live video surveillance. However, you will need a stable Wi-Fi connection to operate it via the app as well as external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum that mops vacuum does a great job of picking up dirt and debris but it's not always able to reach every last bit of dust. That's why it's important to make use of your regular vacuum once a week, especially to clean dust from corners, on shelves and in the corners of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot that vacuums and mop, is made to do just that. It's easy to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

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

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful mopping and vacuums we've seen at this price, despite not being able to clean your floor. It has a strong suction of 5500Pa, and an automatic vacuum cleaner empty system so you don't need to empty the bin by hand each time. It comes with a smart app that lets you schedule cleanings and set the floor type. It also features an automatic hoover water tank filling and washing system that is hands-free.

The mops are also quite impressive with 2700Pa of power to take on dirt, dust, and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 was one of the few robots that we tested did not show a problem with high-pile area carpets and rugs. However, it was able to not pick up kitty-litter or cable tangles. This isn't a surprise, since it does NOT have AI-powered obstacle-avoidance features.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robot vacuums we have tested, it also has a unique method to map your home. This allows it to get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums cannot reach. It also stores dust in a bigger dustbin that means you have to empty it less often. It also has washable filters, which can further cut costs. This robot can also detect carpets and increase suction if required. You can also mark areas you want the robot to avoid using the app.
