1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The black and gloss gunmetal Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive robot cleaner with mop vacuums and mop combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate and creates maps of rooms and floors.

When I tested the S1, it was quick to locate our downstairs, which is home to linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, plus medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was capable of driving close to walls and even cross raised thresholds without issue. However, it had some difficulty navigating down the stairs in one go. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved effortlessly on its flat side against the floor, and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or rug.

Before each mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and refills its water tank with filtered, clean water ozonated. 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 it will differ depending on the frequency you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to keep it working efficiently. It is necessary to regularly wash out the tank that has been contaminated to keep it from becoming blocked. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheels and sensors frequently to avoid them from becoming clogged with dirt or dust. Overall the S1 is easy to maintain, particularly compared to other combos 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. Its robot vacuum has 8,700Pa suction power and comes with many innovative features including voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive, with rotating mops that actually lift and scrub the floor, as opposed to just dragging the pad across it. Mops can also be cleaned and dried at the base station, if needed.

The robot is simple to set up and use, with a clear interface that guides you through the process. It comes with a rechargeable hand vacuum for those areas that the robot can't reach as well as two water tanks that are automatically empty and filled when needed. It also has a range of useful settings for fine-tuning your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does a good job at vacuuming, with strong suction that effortlessly picks up most debris and even the smaller bits of dust that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty good, although it can get stuck on small mats and rugs at my home (which you can mitigate by creating virtual boundaries within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also quite good with a pair of spinning mops which can lift and scrub the floor, rather than just dragging the pad across it. The mops can be cleaned with hot water and dried in the base station whenever required. Mops can also be replenished at the top of the station if required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot auto vacuum and mop 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 mops and robot vacuums. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush ensure that an effective, customized cleaning is completed.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, removing both fine and large debris. It is equally effective on hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned the dirtiest areas well, eliminating pet hairs that are tangled and other mess. The sweeping performance is augmented by a side brush that swings out to tackle hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that deploys alongside baseboards.

Its navigation system is intelligent it can navigate narrow spaces and climbing stairs without skipping a beat. It can go from one room to another without needing to reverse the direction. This is a great feature for large homes with multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance is less advanced than the ones of other competitors, and leaves a huge space over obstacles. This can lead to miss-hit spots.

The app's interface is intuitive and easy to use. It should be simple to use by both novice and experienced users. The app allows you to plan and manage cleanings, adjust mopping and suction power settings, view 2D and 3D maps, and much more. You can control it via the app, Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. However, you will require a stable internet connection to use it via the app as well as external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

A robot vacuum does a great job of picking up debris and dirt, but it can't always reach every last bit of dust. It's essential to clean your home frequently, every week. This is particularly important for dust that builds up in corners, on shelves and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro, a 2-in-1 robot hoover that vacuums and mop, is designed to do just that. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's more pricier S-series models, including the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It is equipped with 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 is one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping robots we've ever seen in this price range, despite not being able to wipe your floor. It has a powerful suction of 5500Pa, and an automatic empty system so you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It also features a smart app that lets you set your floor type and schedule cleanings, and an automatic water tank refill and wash system that allows hands-free operation.

The mops are also quite impressive with 2700Pa of power to take on dust, dirt and pet hair on both hard floors and carpets. The Q5 was one of the few robots we tested did not show a problem with high-pile area carpets and rugs. However, it could not handle kitty litter or cable tangles. This isn't too surprising because it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle-avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robot vacuums we have tested. It also uses a unique system to map your home. This will allow it to enter places that other vacuums cannot reach. It also is able to collect more dust in a larger bin, so you don't need to empty it as often. Additionally, it has washable filters which further reduces the cost of using the device. The best robot vacuum cleaner and mop can also recognize carpets and increase suction if required. You can also mark off areas you want to keep out of the app.
