Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 More Ways To Say Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more adept, passing our tests of cleaning and tackling various floor types. Choose models that allow users to select between different modes, self-empty and clean stairs.

A lot of the top models integrate with your smartphone. Look for an app that lets you save maps, schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal-and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuums and mop combos on the market. It uses lidar to navigate, and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set schedules and customize the S1's behavior.

The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which comprises linoleum flooring in the kitchen, dining area and bathrooms, as well as large rugs and a medium-pile. It was able to drive close to walls and even over raised thresholds without any problems. However it was a bit difficult navigating down the stairs in one step. The S1 did a good job cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and swung up when it reached carpets or rugs.

The docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated waters prior to every mopping session. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 cleaning sessions, but this will vary dependent on how often you use the mop.

The S1 requires periodic maintenance, just like other 2-in-1 robots. In order to do this, you'll have to wash the dirty water tank occasionally to prevent it from clogging. It is also necessary to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to avoid them becoming blocked by dust or dirt. Overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially compared to other combinations that require more hands-on maintenance.

Ecovacs all-in-one robotic hoovers vacuum and mop is an efficient solution to your cleaning needs. Its robot vacuum boasts 8,700Pa of suction, and comes with many innovative features, such as full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning to avoid obstacles and cleans around furniture.

The mops are also cleaned and dried in the base station when needed.

It comes with a hand vacuum that recharges to reach those areas the robot hoover and mop can't reach and two water tanks that are automatically empty and filled as needed.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does well at vacuuming, with a strong suction that easily removes most of the debris, and even smaller bits of dust that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are decent, but it can be stuck on small mats and rugs in my home (which you can alleviate by creating virtual boundaries within the app). Its mopping is quite excellent, too, with a pair of spin mop pads that actually lift and scrub floors, as opposed to simply dragging the pad over it. The mops are cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station when needed. Mops can also be replenished at the top of the station as they are required.

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop was launched earlier this year. But their latest flagship model has even more impressive features.

Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure an effective, customized cleaning is accomplished.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is a great choice on carpets and hard floors.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are fantastic at picking up dirt and debris, but they're not able to get every bit of dust. That's why it's important to use your regular vacuum at least once a week, especially to pick up dust in corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed to accomplish exactly that. It's easy to connect to your home WiFI network and it works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, which includes the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it doesn't have mopping capabilities and comes with a plastic body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping machines we've ever seen at this price, despite not being able to wipe your floor. It features a powerful suction of 5500Pa and an automatic emptying system, which means you don't need to manually empty the bin every time. It also comes with a smart app that lets you select your floor type and schedule cleanings, as well as an automatic water tank refill and wash system to allow hands-free operation.

Its mops are also awe-inspiring, with 2700Pa of power to tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on hard floors and carpets. The Q5 is among the few robots we test that didn't have problems with carpets with high piles or area rug, but it was unable to remove cables or kitty litter that's not a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

This device also stores dust in a larger dustbin that means you have empty it less frequently.
