The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a great option for those looking for an affordable robot vacuum and mop. It has a great mopping capability, but it lacks some of the features found in its more expensive sibling.
In tests it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats out of carpets with a medium-pile. It does not use LIDAR, however, like cheaper models do to locate your home.
1. IRobot Roomba S9+
The iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuum is among the most highly-rated robots. It comes with a variety of features and impressive cleaning power, such as a dirt compartment that is built into the charging base. It can also learn your cleaning habits and suggest schedules that are automatic to ensure you have a hands-free experience.
Setup is easy, thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the procedure. Once everything is connected, you can begin the automatic cleaning functions at the push of one button. You can select a general clean, which prioritizes the removal of larger particles like rice and cereal. Or you can choose two mappings to ensure that the entire home is cleaned thoroughly.
This robot vac performs well on floors that are unfinished and low-pile carpet. It can pick up pet hair and also suck large items up. It doesn't lose suction as quickly as other robot vacuums. It has a difficult time with high-pile carpets or plush carpets however, iRobot promises that the next models will be better.
The S9+ features a new design from iRobot, which focuses on enhancing edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba that uses a flat-fronted D-shaped design. The company hopes that this will allow it to fit into furniture and walls. It's a step up from the hockey puck-shaped robovacs which are common however we found it to be just marginally better than circular models.
iRobot claims that the S9+ also has superior filtration that blocks microscopic particles and allergens recirculating within your home. We think it's a nice statement, but not enough to justify a higher price.
Its intelligent navigation system makes use of sensors that remember your home's layout and vSLAM technology for mapping the interior. It can then clean your entire house efficiently by avoiding obstacles like stairs and other obstacles. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and also set virtual boundary markers to ensure that the robot is aware of which areas need extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
When it is about robots that combine mopping and vacuuming the Roborock Q Revo stands out. Its vacuum settings are just as effective as those found on more expensive models. Its mopping system is superior as its spinning pads clean your floors better than an ordinary pad that vibrates.
The only issue is that it doesn't have an additional rubber brush to allow for more thorough cleaning, but it's an acceptable price to pay if you want one of the best robots on the market. The dust tank on the robo-vac is bigger than most of its competitors, and filling it takes just two or three cycles, even when you've got a lot of dirt.
In terms of the mopping device, I was amazed with its ability to scrub off hard-to-clean dirt from my floors. Its two lowest mopping settings that are less powerful than the high-powered ones, create little noise, so you can work or watch television without getting distracted. It will gently hit furniture or walls and then move away when it encounters one.
What really makes the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to operate almost completely on its own, with no need for human intervention. The robo-vac comes with a multi-function dock that automatically transfers physical garbage into the bin hidden in the background, as well as washes and drys mop pads and replenishes its clean water tank. The app is good at notifying you when something needs attention, for example, the water tank that is running out of clean or a scheduled cleaning session being cancelled because of a full dust bin.
You can also create and merge rooms to modify the way that Q Revo will treat your home. This is an excellent feature for those who have multiple rooms in your home that have different flooring materials or if there's clutter that needs to be removed frequently, like toys, clothes and books. The robo-vac was also one of the top performers in my tests and was able to remove debris from both carpets as well as hardwood floors in the first go. It can even vacuum up wet spills. I recommend drying the area with a towel prior to sending it into.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd want from a premium robot vacuum and mop and more. It comes with an omni-rotating mop as well as a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets as well as hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also comes with self-cleaning bases that automatically cleans and empty the mop pads, keeping them free of germs and ready to use again. It robot vacuum cleaner also has a sensor system that can detect obstacles better which allows it to avoid falling on furniture and other objects.
The most significant improvement to the ECOVACS X1 Deebot is its sleeker, modern design. This is due to the Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. The robot is still big. It has a height of more than two feet both height and depth, and weighs in at least four pounds. However, the robot and its base are smaller than the Roborock Q Revo and iRobot J7.
This model is more efficient than the X1 because it charges more quickly and cleans 1,500 square feet in a single charge. It also has a bigger and more robust dustbin that can store more debris. This makes it easier to empty.
Finally, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app as well as an assistant voice that works offline, so you can manage it even when not at home. It also has an intelligent routing feature that lets it clean specific areas or rooms of your home instead of following a set path.
The X2 Omni has the best mopping performance of any robot we've tested, thanks to its mop pads that rotate to remove tough stains and a motor that generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming performance is outstanding as well, and it boosts suction when it detects carpet to ensure it's doing the job well. It has a large rechargeable battery that lasts up to one week. The mopping mode of the robot is also powerful.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra is a premium robot vacuum and mop that comes with a host of features that you don't often see on robots in this price range. It can make precise floor maps and recognize different flooring types. It's also one of the few robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These are nice features, but they also place the L10s in the luxury category. This could mean it's more expensive than homeowners need.
Created to look like a modern floor cleaner, the L10s Ultra is a tall and slim machine with an elegant white finish enhanced by mirror plating and silver elements. The front of the machine has a large bumper that protects the furniture and vacuum cleaner when you are moving around your home. Sensors are concealed behind the front pane, which helps the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button that acts as an on/off switch. The button will activate the vacuum. If you click it again, it will turn it off and send it back to its base station. The circular menu at the middle of the control panel lets you to select cleaning modes, schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons beneath the screen will open up the settings menu in which you can alter how the L10s Ultra works with your home.
Similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+ and Roborock Q Revo, the L10s Ultra uses a combination of LIDAR and camera-based navigation technology to help you map out your home. This helps the robot vacuum and mop effectively without getting stuck. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and recognize them as obstacles, 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 removing all but the most difficult juice stain. Its mops are efficient, clearing 98.4 percent of debris from our wood, tile and carpet tests. However, it wasn't quite as great at tackling sand on the floor, or quaker oats on the carpet.
