The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is an excellent choice if you are seeking a robot mop and vacuum that's priced in the middle. It has a great mopping performance but lacks certain of the more advanced features of its more expensive sibling.
During testing it was able to eliminate pet hair and dry oats out of carpets with a medium-pile. However, unlike other models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to determine the layout of your home.
1. Roomba S9+ from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top robot vacuums. It has a lot of features and incredible cleaning power, including an area for dirt that is built into the charging base. This robot can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automatic schedules for a truly hands-free experience.
The iRobot Home App guides you through the setup process. Once the system is in place you can begin the cleaning automatically with just one button press. You can select an overall clean that focuses on cleaning up larger debris like rice and cereal or go for two thorough maps of your home to ensure that your home is properly arranged.
This robot vacuum performs well on both floors that are bare and low-pile carpet. It sucks up large items and does not lose suction as fast as other models do, and it can even clean up pet hair without much difficulty. It has a difficult time with high-pile or plush carpet, but iRobot says it will get better with the next models.
The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that concentrates on enhancing the edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted, D-shaped design, which will allow it to be able to swaddle furniture and walls. It's a great improvement over the traditional hockey puck shape of robovacs, but we found it to be only marginally better than circular models.
iRobot claims that the S9+ also has superior filtration which blocks micro-sized particles and allergens from circulating in your home. We think this is a nice claim however, it's not enough to justify a premium price.
Its intelligent navigation system makes use of sensors that remember your home's layout and vSLAM technology to map your interior. This allows it to steer clear of obstacles like stairs and other barriers and to tidy up your entire home in the most efficient way possible. The iRobot Home app lets you control the robot and schedule cleaning times, as well as establish virtual boundaries, so it knows to avoid areas that require more attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
Roborock Q Revo is a machine that is a combination of mopping and vacuuming. Its vac settings are just as efficient as those found on higher-end models, and its mopping system is better still--its spinning pads do a better job of scrubbing your floors than a stationary vibrating pad.
The only drawback is the absence of a second brush for deeper cleaning. But that's not a problem if you want to own one of the best robots available. The dust tank on the robovac is larger than its competitors, and filling it up takes only two or three cycles even when you've got the most dirt.
For the mopping device, I was awestruck with its ability to scrub off hard-to-clean dirt from my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest, which are less aggressive than the high-powered ones, produce minimal noise, allowing you to work or even watch TV without interruption. It will gently bump into furniture or walls, and move on whenever it comes across one.
The Q Revo is unique in that it can run almost entirely on its own, requiring only minimal user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac can be multi-functional and automatically transfers garbage into a bin hidden. It also cleans and dries the clean water tank. The app is good at notifying you when something needs attention, like the clean water tank running low or a scheduled cleaning session having been canceled due to a full dust bin.
You can also create and merge actual rooms to alter how the Q Revo manages your home. That's a handy feature if you have multiple areas of the home with different flooring materials or there's some clutter that needs to be cleaned out frequently, such as toys, clothes, and books. The robot vacuum was also one of the best performers in my test and was able to remove debris from carpets as well as hardwood floors on the first attempt. It can even vacuum up wet spills. I recommend drying them with a towel before sending it to.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum that has all the features you could need. Like the iRobot Roomba S9+, it comes with a powerful vacuum with powerful suction that cleans hard and carpet floors, as well as an robot vacuum deals omni-rotating mop that scrubs tough stains. It also comes with self-cleaning bases that automatically empties and washes mop pads, keeping them clean and ready for use again. It also has a sensor system that detects obstacles more accurately which allows it to avoid falling onto furniture and other objects.
The most significant improvement to the ECOVACS the X1 Deebot is its modern, sleeker design. This is due to the Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. The robot is still large--it measures over two feet in height and depth and weighs nearly four pounds. However the robot as well as its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot j7.
This model is also more efficient than the X1 one, because it charges faster and can handle a full cleaning of about 1,500 square feet in one charge. And it has a larger dustbin that is more durable to hold more debris which makes it easier to empty it when needed.
Additionally lastly, the X2 Omni has a more user-friendly app and a voice assistant that works offline, so you can manage it even when away from home. It also comes with more mopping modes and a smart routing feature which allows it to clean certain rooms or areas of your home instead of just following a set path.
The Omni Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested because of its rotating mop pads that clean tough stains away and a motor that produces plenty of downward pressure. The vacuuming capabilities are also outstanding, and it also increases suction when it senses a carpet to ensure a thorough cleaning. It has a large rechargeable battery that can last up to a week. The mopping mode of the robot is also extremely effective.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a high-end model that offers a number of convenience features not often found on robots in this price range. It is able to create detailed floor maps and detect different types of flooring. It's also among the only robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These are nice features but they also push the L10s into the class of luxury. This could mean it's more expensive than what homeowners would need.
The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaning machine. It's slim and tall with a white finish, accentuated by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by a huge bumper, which helps protect the vacuum and furniture from damage while moving through the home. Behind the pane at the front is an additional navigation technology with sensors that help the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button which is used as an on/off switch. Clicking this will turn on the vacuum, while clicking it again will turn off the vacuum and send it back to its base station. The center of the control panel includes a circular menu that lets you choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons open the settings of the app which allow you to customize how the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.
The L10s Ultra, like the iRobot Roomba S9+ or Roborock Q Revo uses a combination LIDAR and cameras-based navigation technology to map out your home. This helps the robot mop and vacuum efficiently without getting stuck. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them, which is an excellent feature for households with pets or young children.
The L10s Ultra provides solid vacuuming performance which clears 98.4% of debris from our hard-floor test and getting rid of all but the most difficult juice stain. Its mops are also quite efficient, removing 98.4 percent of debris from our wood, tile, and carpet tests. It was not as efficient at removing sand from the hard floor or quaker oats from the carpet.
