1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
The gloss black and gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It uses lidar for navigation, creating maps of rooms and floors.
The S1 was capable of mapping my downstairs quickly, which includes linoleum in the dining area, kitchen, and bathrooms and also a carpet in the middle and a large area. It easily drove close to walls without hitting them, and even managed to traverse thresholds for rooms that are raised without problem, although it sometimes struggled to get down stairs in a single step. The S1 also did an excellent job of cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved smoothly on its flat side against the floor and then lifting itself when it was near carpet or carpet.
The S1's docking station automatically emptys its trash bin and fills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water before every mopping session. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for around twelve cleaning sessions before it needs to be emptied, though it will differ based on how much you use the mop.
The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to periodically rinse out the tank that has been contaminated to keep it from becoming blocked. You will also need to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to prevent them from getting clogged up with dust or dirt. However, overall the S1 is easy to maintain, especially compared to other models that require more care.
2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete
This all-in-one robot vacuum and mop combo from Ecovacs is a powerful option for your cleaning requirements. The Ecovacs robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction and comes with numerous unique features, including full home mapping, voice control and smart path-planning that avoids obstacles and cleans around furniture.

The mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station, if needed.
This robot combo has a simple interface that guides you through the process. It comes with a hand vacuum that recharges for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot isn't able to reach, as well as two water tanks that are automatically empty and refilled when needed. It has a variety of useful settings to fine-tune your cleaning preferences.
The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does excellent job of vacuuming, with a strong suction that easily picks up most debris and even the tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty robust, however it can sometimes get caught up on the small carpets or area mats that I have in my house (which is something you can control by creating a virtual boundary within the application). Highly recommended Site mopping capabilities are quite impressive, and comes with two spinning mop heads that actually lift and scrub the floors, instead of simply 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 filled from the top of the base station as required.
3. Dreame X40 ultra
Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. However, their latest flagship model has even more impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results and is easy to maintain. This makes it a worthy contender for our list of the top robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush ensure that an effective, customized cleaning is achieved.
The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming and removing fine and large debris from hard floors as well as carpets. It also cleaned the most soiled areas efficiently, while keeping pet hairs from getting caught in knots and other mess. The sweeping capability of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush that swings out in order to reach hard-to-reach areas, and a mop pad that extends along baseboards.
Its navigation system is intelligent, navigating narrow spaces and climbing stairs without missing a beat. It can easily move from one room to another without having to reverse direction, which is a handy feature for larger homes with many rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is less advanced than its competitors however, and tends to leave a large space around obstacles, which could result in missed spots.
The interface of the app is easy to use and easy to use. It should be easy to use by both novice and experienced users. The app lets you schedule and control cleanings. You can also alter suction power, mop setting as well as look up 3-D and 2-D maps. You can control it via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even tap into the X40 Ultra's camera remotely to get live video surveillance. You will require a reliable WiFi connection to use the app and external controls.
4. Roomba Q5 pro
A robot vacuum does an excellent job of picking up dirt and debris however, it's not able to get every last piece of dust. It's important to vacuum frequently, every week. This is especially important for dust that builds up in corners, on shelves and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed to do exactly that. It's easy to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more practical addition to your routine of cleaning.
The Q5 is an edgier version of the company's expensive S-series models. It includes the top-of-the-line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it does not have mopping capabilities and comes with an aluminum body.
Even though it's not able to wipe your floors, the Q5 still has some of the best mopping and vacuum performance we've seen from a robotic in this price range. It has a suction power of 5500Pa, and an automatic empty system that means you don't have to empty the bin by hand each time. It also comes with a smart app that lets you set the type of floor and schedule cleanings. It also has an automatic refill of the water tank and wash system for hands-free operation.
Its mops are also impressive, with a 2700Pa power to take on pet hair and dirt, on both carpets and hard flooring. The Q5 was among the few robots we tested did not show a problem with high-pile area rugs and carpets. However, it could not pick up kitty-litter or cable tangles. This isn't surprising because it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle-avoidance.
5. K10 Plus
K10 Plus is the quietest robot vacuum we've ever tested. It also features an innovative mapping system that helps it reach corners and tight places that other vacuums are unable to. The K10 Plus also collects more dust in the bin, which means you don't need to empty it as frequently. Additionally, it has washable filters that further lower the cost of using the device. The robot is able to detect carpets and increase suction if necessary. You can also mark areas you would like to keep out of the app.
