The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a great option if you're looking for a robotic vacuum and mop that is priced in the middle. It's a great mopping capabilities, but is lacking certain of the more advanced features that are found in its more expensive sibling.
During tests it was able to eliminate pet hair and dry oats from medium-pile carpets. It does not use LIDAR however, like cheaper models do to identify your home.
iRobot Roomba s9+
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top robot vacuums. It has impressive cleaning power and numerous features such as a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. The robot also learns your cleaning habits and suggest automated schedules to provide a hands-free and effortless experience.
The iRobot Home App guides you through the setup process. Once the system is set up you can begin the automated cleaning with a single button press. You can select a general clean that prioritizes cleaning up larger debris like cereal and rice or two thorough mappings of your space to ensure your entire home gets a proper look.
This vacuum works well on both floors with no carpet and carpets with a low pile. It is able to take large objects and does not lose suction as fast as some others do and can clean up pet hair with ease. It has a difficult time with plush or high-pile carpet, however iRobot says it will improve with the next models.
The S9+ is a new design by iRobot that is focused on improving corner and edge cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted D-shaped design, which will allow it to be able to swaddle walls and furniture. It's a nice improvement over the traditional hockey puck shape of the majority of robovacs. However, we found it to be only marginally better than circular models.
iRobot also claims the S9+ comes with an improved filter system that prevents tiny dust particles and allergens from recirculating in your home. We think this is a nice statement but not enough to justify a premium price.
Its smart navigation system uses sensors to store the layout of your home and vSLAM for mapping the interior. It can then clean your entire home efficiently by avoiding obstacles such as stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and also set virtual boundary markers so that the robot can determine which areas need extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
When it is about robots that can combine mopping and vacuuming, the Roborock Q Revo is a standout. Its vac settings are as efficient as those found on more expensive models and its mopping feature is even better. Its spinning pads do a more impressive job of cleaning your floors than a stationary vibration pad.
The only issue is the lack of a second brush to allow for more thorough cleaning. However, it's not a problem when you're looking to purchase one of the top robots available. The robo-vac's tank for dust is also larger than many of its competitors, and it takes just two or three cycles to fill it, even with the maximum dirt level.
As for the mopping device, I was impressed by its ability to scrub tough dirt from my floors. The two mopping modes that it has that are less abrasive than the higher-powered ones produce minimal noise, allowing you to work or watch television 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 completely on its own, with no user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac has multiple functions and will automatically move garbage into a bin hidden. It also cleans and dries, as well as refills the clean water tank. The app will only alert you when something is wrong for example, a low clean water tank or a vacuuming session that is cancelled due to a full bin.
You can also create or combine actual rooms to personalize the way Q Revo treats your home. This is a great feature if you have multiple areas of the home with different flooring materials or there's clutter that needs to be removed frequently, like clothes, toys and books. The robot vacuum was also one of the top performers in my test, picking up debris on carpets and hardwood floors in the first pass. It can vacuum up even wet spills. I suggest drying them with a towel before sending it to.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum combo that comes with all the features you can wish for. It has an omni-rotating mop as well as a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets and hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also has an auto-cleaning station that automatically washes and empties mop pads to keep them clean and ready for reuse. It also comes with a brand new sensor system that better detects obstacles, granting it the ability to prevent falling over furniture and other objects.
The biggest difference over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this version is sleeker and more modern design due to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for Bang & Olufsen products). The robot is still quite large. It measures over two feet in both height and robot vacuum black friday depth, and weighs in at least four pounds. However the robot as well as its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo and iRobot J7.
This model is more efficient than the X1 since it charges faster and can clean 1,500 square feet in one charge. It also has a larger and more robust dustbin that can store more debris. This makes it easier to empty.
Additionally lastly, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app as well as a voice assistant that works offline, which means you can control it even when you're not at home. It also comes with additional mopping modes as well as a smart routing feature that allows you to clean certain rooms or areas of your house instead of just following a specific route.
The Omni X2 Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested due to its rotating mop pads that remove tough stains and a motor that generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is also top-notch, and it boosts suction when it detects carpets to ensure thorough cleaning. It also has a large battery that can last for weeks between charges, and its mopping mode is as effective as the ones we've seen on an ordinary robot.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a premium mop and vacuum robot that comes with a range of convenience features that you do not often find on robots at this price. It is able to build detailed floor maps, identify different types of flooring and is among the few robots that automatically wash and dry the mop pads. While these features are useful however, they also make the L10s Ultra more in the luxury category which could make it slightly more expensive than what some homeowners need.
It is designed to look like a modern floor cleaner The L10s Ultra is a tall and slim device that has an elegant white finish that's highlighted by mirror plating and silver elements. The front of the machine features a large bumper that protects the vacuum cleaner and furniture when you are moving around your home. Sensors are hidden behind the front panel, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum there is a single button which serves as an on/off switch. Clicking this will turn on the vacuum, and pressing it again will shut off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The central control panel has an oblique menu that lets you choose cleaning modes, schedules, and preferences. The left and right buttons on the screen will bring up the app's settings menu where you can tweak the way that the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.
Like the iRobot Roomba S9+ and Roborock Q Revo, the L10s Ultra uses a combination of LIDAR and camera-based navigation techniques to help you map out your home. This helps the robot vacuum and mop effectively without getting stuck. The LIDAR assists the robot vacuum to avoid obstacles and recognize them, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or small children.
The L10s Ultra provides solid vacuuming performance, clearing 98.4 percent of the debris from our hard-floor test and taking out all but the most stubborn juice stains. Its mops are also quite efficient, taking away 98.4 percent of the debris that was found on our wood, tile and carpet tests. It was not as effective at removing sand from the hard flooring or quaker oats off the carpet.
