The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is an excellent choice if you're looking for a robotic vacuum and mop that's middle-of-the-road. It provides a fantastic mopping experience, but doesn't have the features that make up its more expensive sibling.
In tests, it was able to handle dust and dry oats on carpets with medium piles as well as pet hair on hard floors. But, unlike cheaper models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to determine the layout of your home.
1. Roomba S9+ from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuum is among the top-rated robots. It comes with a variety of features and impressive cleaning power, such as the dirt compartment built into the charging base. It can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automatic schedules for a truly hands-free experience.
The setup process is simple thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the process. Once everything is connected, you can start the automatic cleaning functions at the click of one button. You can select an overall clean, which prioritizes the removal of larger debris such as rice and cereal. You can also opt for two thorough mappings to ensure that the entire home is completely cleaned.
This robot vacuum performs well on floors that are unfinished and carpets with a low pile. It can remove pet hair and sucks large objects up. It doesn't lose its suction as quickly as other robot vacuums. It's not the best time with high-pile or plush carpet, but iRobot says it will get better with the next models.
The S9+ features a new design from iRobot that is focused on enhancing corner and edge cleaning. It's the first Roomba that adopts flat-fronted D-shaped designs. The company hopes this will allow it to fit into the furniture and walls. It's a significant improvement over hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are widely used, but we found it to be only marginally superior to circular models.
iRobot also claims that the S9+ has a superior filtering system that blocks tiny dust particles and allergens from recirculating within your home. It's a nice claim however, we're not convinced it's enough to justify the high price tag.
Its smart navigation system uses sensors to keep track of the structure of your home, and vSLAM to map the interior. This allows it to stay clear of obstacles, like staircases and other barriers, and to clean up your entire home efficiently possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundary markers so that the robot can determine what areas require extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
Roborock Q Revo is a machine that combines vacuuming and mopping. Its vac settings are as efficient as those found on more expensive models, and its mopping system is superior, as its spinning pads do a more impressive job of cleaning your floors than a stationary vibrating pad.
The only drawback is that it does not have a second rubber brush for more thorough cleaning, but that's an acceptable cost to pay for if you are looking for one of the top robots on the market. The dust tank of the robo-vac is larger than many of its competitors. Filling it up only takes two or three cycles, even when you have maximum dirt.
In terms of the mopping system, I was awestruck by its ability to scrub tough dirt off my floors. The two mopping modes that it has that are less aggressive than the high-powered ones, produce minimal noise, allowing you to work or watch TV without interruption. It will gently bump into furniture or walls, and then move on if it comes across one.
What really sets the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to run nearly completely autonomously, requiring only a little for human intervention. The robo-vac has a multifunction dock that automatically transfers physical trash into the bin hidden in the background and also cleans and drys mop pads and replenishes its clean water tank. The app is capable of notifying you when something requires attention, for example, the water tank that is running out of clean or a scheduled cleaning session that was cancelled due to a stuffed dust bin.
You can also combine or create actual rooms in order to customize the way that Q Revo handles your home. This feature is useful when you have different flooring in different areas of your home or in the event that you have to regularly remove clutter, such as toys, clothes, floor vacuum robot and books. The robo-vac was also one of the top performers in my tests cleaning up debris from both carpets as well as hardwood floors on the first go. It can even vacuum up wet spills. I suggest drying the area with a towel prior to sending it in.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum combo that has all the features you could wish for. Like the iRobot Roomba S9+, it is a top-quality vacuum that has powerful suction that cleans hard and carpet floors, and an omni-rotating mop that scrubs tough stains. It also has an auto-cleaning station that automatically washes and empties mop pads to keep them clean and ready for reuse. It also has a sensor system that recognizes obstacles better, allowing it to avoid falling onto furniture and other objects.
The biggest difference over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this version is sleeker and more modern design thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for Bang & Olufsen products). While still quite massive--it's nearly two feet tall and deep and weighs nearly four pounds--the entire robot and its base are much smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot J7.
This version is more efficient than the X1 since it charges faster and cleans 1,500 square feet in a single charge. And it has a larger, more durable dustbin to hold more debris and is easier to empty when needed.
Additionally lastly, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app as well as a voice assistant that works offline, so you can manage it even when away from home. It also has more mopping modes and an intelligent routing feature that allows you to clean specific areas or rooms of your house instead of simply following a predetermined route.
The Omni Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested, due to its rotating mop pads that scrub away tough stains and a motor that generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming capabilities are excellent too and it enhances suction when it senses carpet to ensure it's doing a thorough job. It also has a large battery that can last for weeks between charges and its mopping mode is as effective as anything we've seen in a consumer-grade robot.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a top-quality robot vacuum and mop that comes with a host of convenience features you aren't likely to find on robots in this price. It can make detailed floor maps and identify different flooring types. It's also among the few robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These features are nice but they also push the L10s into the luxury category. This could mean it's more expensive than what homeowners want.
Designed to look like a modern floor cleaner The L10s Ultra is a tall and slim machine with an elegant white finish that's enhanced by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by a huge bumper, which helps protect furniture and vacuum cleaners from damage when moving through the home. Behind the pane at the front is a second navigation technology in the form of sensors that aid the L10s Ultra maneuver tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum there is a single button that acts as an on/off switch. Clicking this will turn on the vacuum, while clicking it again will shut off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The central control panel is the circular menu which lets you choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons will allow you to access the settings in the app, where you can alter the way 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 technologies to map out your house. This creates a precise floor plan that helps the robot vacuum and mop with ease, without getting stuck in cluttered areas. The LIDAR assists the robot vacuum to avoid obstacles and recognize them and avoid them, which is a great feature for homes with pets or small children.
The L10s Ultra has a solid vacuuming capability that clears 98.4 percent of debris from our hard-floor test and getting rid of all but the most stubborn juice stains. The mops also work well in removing 98.4 percent of debris from our carpet, tile and wood tests. However, it wasn't quite as great at tackling sand on the floor, or Quaker oats on carpet.
