Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more efficient, passing our cleaning tests and tackling various floor types. Look for models that allow you to choose from a variety of modes, and use their charging dock to self-empty, and clean up the stairs.

Many of the top models are compatible with smartphones. Find an app that allows you to save maps, schedules and select 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, create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set up schedules and modify the S1's behaviour.

When I tried the S1, it was able to locate the downstairs area, which has 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 across thresholds that are raised without issue. However, it had some difficulty getting down the stairs in one go. The S1 did a good job cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and raised itself when it came to carpets or carpets.

Prior to each mopping session the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills the water tank onboard with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water for deep cleaning. The S1's tank of water holds enough water for about 12 cleaning sessions before it needs to be cleaned, although this can vary based on how often you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires regular maintenance to ensure that it's operating efficiently. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming blocked. You will also need to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to avoid them becoming blocked by dirt or dust. However, overall, the S1 is simple to maintain, particularly compared to other combos that require more care.

The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station as required. The mops are also filled from the top of the base station as needed.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

A robot vacuum does an excellent job of picking up dirt and debris but it's not always able to get every last piece of dust. It's essential to clean your home often, at least once a week. This is especially important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves, and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot designed specifically for this purpose. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and integrates with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more convenient addition to your routine of cleaning.

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 has a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves cost by eliminating the mopping functionality and by using a lower-cost plastic body.

Although it's no longer able to clean your floors, the Q5 has some of the best vacuum and mopping performance we've seen from a robot in this price range.

It has a smart app that lets you schedule cleaning times and choose the floor type. It also comes with an automatic water tank filling system and washing system that is hands-free.

Its mops also impress with their 2700Pa capacity to take on pet hair and dirt on carpets as well as hard flooring. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any problems with carpets with high piles or area rug, but it was unable to clean up cat litter or cable tangles that's not a surprise considering it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robot vacuums we have tested. It also has a unique method to map your home. This allows it to get into the corners and tight spaces that other vacuums can't reach.
