The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a good choice if you're looking for a mid-priced mop and robot vacuum. It's a great mopping capability, but it lacks some of the advanced features found in its more expensive sibling.
During testing it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats from carpets with a medium-pile. It doesn't use LIDAR however, as cheaper models do, to locate your home.
1. IRobot Roomba S9+
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top robot vacuums. It is a powerful cleaner and numerous features that include a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. It can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automatic schedules for a truly hands-free experience.
The setup process is simple thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the process. Once everything is connected, you can start the automated cleaning process at the touch of a button. You can select the general clean option that focuses on the removal of larger debris such as cereal and rice. Or you can opt for two thorough mappings to ensure that your entire home is cleaned thoroughly.
This robot vacuum is effective on both bare floors and low-pile carpet. It can remove pet hair and clean large items up. It doesn't lose suction as fast as some other robot vacuums. It has a difficult time with high-pile or plush carpet, however iRobot claims it will get better with the next models.
The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that focuses on enhancing 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 a significant improvement over hockey puck-shaped robovacs that are standard however we found it to be just marginally better than circular models.
iRobot claims that the S9+ also features an advanced filtration system, which prevents microscopic particles and allergens recirculating within your home. We think this is a nice claim but not enough to justify a premium price.
Its smart navigation system employs a combination of sensors to keep track of your home's layout, and vSLAM technology for mapping the interior. This allows it to steer clear of obstacles, such as stairs and other barriers, and to clean up your entire house efficiently possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundaries so that the robot knows what areas require extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
When it is about robots that combine mopping and vacuuming the Roborock Q Revo is a standout. Its vac settings are as effective as those of higher-end models and its mopping system is superior, as its spinning pads do a much more impressive job of cleaning your floors than a stationary vibrating pad.
The only issue is the absence of a second brush for deeper cleaning. However, it's not a big deal if you want to own one of the top robots available. The robo-vac's tank for dust is also larger than many of its rivals and it takes only two or three cycles to fill it up, even with the highest dirt level.
As for the mopping system, I was awestruck by its ability to scrub hard dirt off my floors. The two lowest mopping settings that are less powerful than the high-powered settings, produce minimal noise, meaning you can work or watch TV without being distracted. If it comes into contact with an object, such as a wall or furniture piece it gently smacks into it before moving on.
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 robo-vac has a multifunction dock that can automatically transfer physical trash to the bin hidden from view, as well as washes and drys the mop pads and refills its clean water tank. The app will only alert you when something is not right like low water levels or a cancelled vacuuming session due to a full bin.
You can also design and merge actual rooms to alter the way that Q Revo manages your home. This feature is helpful if you have different flooring in different areas of your home or when you have to frequently remove clutter, such as toys, clothes, and books. The robo-vac was also one of the best performers in my tests and was able to remove debris from both carpets as well as hardwood floors with the first go. It is able to vacuum up wet spills. I suggest drying the area with a towel prior to sending it in.
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 has an omni-rotating mop as well as a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets as well as hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also comes with a self-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 system that recognizes obstacles better which allows it to avoid falling onto furniture and other objects.
The most significant improvement over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this version has a sleeker, more modern design thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known here for its Bang & Olufsen products). The robot is still big. It is more than two feet in both height and depth, and weighs almost four pounds. However the robot as well as its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot J7.
This model is more efficient than the X1 as it charges faster and can clean 1,500 square feet in a single charge. Additionally, it comes with a larger, more durable dustbin to hold more debris which makes it easier to empty when needed.
The X2 Omni also has a more natural voice assistant and an app that works even when you're not at home. It also comes with an intelligent routing feature that allows it to clean specific areas or rooms of your home instead of following a set path.
The X2 Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested, due to its mop pads rotating to scrub away tough stains and a motor that produces plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is excellent, and it increases suction when it senses a carpet to ensure a thorough cleaning. It also has a large battery that can last for several weeks between charges and its mopping mode is as effective as anything we've seen in an ordinary robot.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop that comes with a host of convenience features you don't often see on robots at this price range. It is able to build detailed floor maps, identify different types of flooring, and it's one of the few robots that automatically wash and dry the mop pads. These are nice features, but they also push the L10s into the premium category. This might make it more expensive than homeowners need.
It is designed to look like a contemporary floor cleaner The L10s Ultra is a tall and slim device with an elegant white finish enhanced by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is adorned with an impressive bumper that protects the vacuum cleaner and furniture as you move around your home. Behind the pane at the front is a second navigation technology in the form of sensors that aid the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button that acts as an on/off switch. This button will activate the vacuum. If you click it again, it will shut it off and send it to its base station. The central control panel has the circular menu which lets you choose cleaning modes or schedules, as well as preferences. The left and right buttons on the screen will open up the settings menu in which you can alter the way that the L10s Ultra integrates with your home.
The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination of cameras and LIDAR technology to map out your home. This creates a detailed floor plan that enables the robot vacuum and mop efficiently and avoid getting stuck in cluttered areas. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them as obstacles, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or children.
The L10s Ultra offers solid vacuuming performance, clearing 98.4 percent of debris from our hard-floor test and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice stains. Its mops also do a great job in removing 98.4% debris from our tile, carpet and wood tests. However, it wasn't quite as great at tackling sand on the floor or the quaker oats that are on carpet.
