The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a great choice if you are looking for a robotic vacuum and mop that's mid-range. It has a great mopping performance but lacks some of the advanced features of its more expensive sibling.
During tests it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats out of carpets with a medium-pile. It doesn't employ LIDAR, however, as cheaper models do to map your home.
Roomba s9+ iRobot from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the most highly-rated robot vacuums. It comes with a variety of features and incredible cleaning power, including the dirt compartment integrated into the charging base. This robot can learn your habits for cleaning and suggest automated schedules that will give you an effortless cleaning 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 automated cleaning functions with the touch of one button. You can choose an overall clean that focuses on the removal of larger pieces of debris like rice and cereal. Or you can opt for two thorough mappings to ensure that your entire home is thoroughly cleaned.
This robot vacuum performs well both on bare floors and carpets with low pile. It can take in large objects and doesn't lose suction as quickly as some other models, and it can even remove pet hair with ease. It has a difficult time with carpets that are high-pile or plush, but iRobot claims that future models will be better.
The S9+ is a new design from iRobot that focuses on improving the edge and corner cleaning. It's the very first Roomba that adopts a flat-fronted D-shaped design. The company hopes that this will allow it hug walls and furniture. It's a great improvement over the standard hockey puck shape of most robovacs, though we found it to be only marginally better than circular models.
iRobot claims that the S9+ also comes with a superior filtration system that blocks micro-sized particles and allergens from circulating in your home. It's a nice premise, however, we're not convinced it's enough to justify the price cost.
Its smart navigation system uses sensors to keep track of the layout of your home and vSLAM for mapping the interior of your home. This allows it to steer clear of obstacles like stairs and other barriers, and also to clean your whole home efficiently possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundaries so that the robot knows what areas require extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
Roborock Q Revo is a machine that combines vacuuming and mopping. Its vacuum settings are as effective as those found on more expensive models. The mopping system is better because its spinning pads clean your floors more efficiently than a vibrating pad.
The only issue is that it does not have a second rubber brush for more thorough cleaning, but it's a small cost to pay if want to get one of the best robots available. The robo-vac's tank for dust is larger than many of its rivals, and it takes just two or three cycles to fill it, even at the highest dirt level.
As for the mopping device, I was impressed with its ability to remove the tough dirt off my floors. Its two lowest mopping settings that are less powerful than the high-powered modes, produce very little noise, so you can work or even watch television without getting distracted. It will gently hit a wall or furniture and then move on when it encounters one.
What makes the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to run nearly completely on its own, with no need for user intervention. The dock of the robo-vac can be multi-functional and can automatically transfer trash into a hidden bin. It also cleans, dries and refills the clean water tank. The app is capable of notifying you when something needs attention, like the clean water tank running low or a scheduled vacuuming session that was cancelled because of a full dust bin.
You can also create and combine actual rooms to alter how the Q Revo will treat your home. This feature is useful for those who have different flooring in different areas of your home, or if you need to regularly remove clutter, such as toys, clothes and books. The robot vacuum is also efficient and was among the top performers during my tests, removing dirt from carpets and hardwoods on the first pass. It can vacuum up even wet spills. I recommend drying the area with a towel prior to sending it to.
3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni
The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd want from a high-end robot vacuum and mop and more. It comes with a rotating mop and a powerful vacuum that can clean carpets as well as hard floors. It's akin to the iRobot Roomba S9+. It also has an auto-cleaning station that automatically cleans and empty the mop pads to keep them clean and ready for reuse. It also features a new sensor system that can better detects obstacles, granting it the ability to prevent falling over furniture and other objects.
The most notable improvement over the ECOVACS The X1 Deebot is the modern, sleeker design. This is thanks to Danish company Jacob Jensen Design, best known for their Bang & Olufsen product line. While still quite massive--it's nearly two feet high and deep and weighs in excess of four pounds--the entire robot and its base are much less bulky than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot J7.
This version is also more efficient than the X1, as it charges faster and can handle a complete cleaning of approximately 1,500 square feet with just one charge. It also has a bigger and more robust dust bin that can hold more debris. This makes it easier to empty.
Finally, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app and a voice assistant that works offline, which means you can control it even when you're not home. It also comes with a smart routing feature that lets it clean specific rooms or areas of your home, instead of following a set path.
The Omni Omni is the most effective mopping performance of any robot we've tested, due to its rotating mop pads that remove tough stains and a motor that creates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming capabilities are excellent too, and it boosts suction when it senses carpets to ensure that it does the job well. It has a large rechargeable battery that lasts up to seven days. The mopping feature of the robot is also powerful.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot vacuum and mop is a premium model that has a range of features that aren't typically found on robots of this price. 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 push the L10s into the luxury category. here This could mean it's more expensive than what homeowners want.
The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaner. It is slim and tall, with a white finish accented with silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine has an enormous bumper that shields the vacuum cleaner and furniture as you move around your home. In the pane in the front is an additional navigation technology with sensors that help the L10s Ultra maneuver tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum there is a single button which is used as an on/off switch. By pressing this button, you can activate the vacuum, while clicking it again will turn off the vacuum and return it to its base station. The center of the control panel is a circular menu that lets you choose cleaning modes, schedules, and preferences. The left and right buttons on the screen will open up the settings menu of the app where you can tweak how the L10s Ultra integrates 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 allows the robot to clean and mop efficiently, without getting stuck. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or children.
The L10s Ultra offers solid vacuuming performance, clearing 98.4 percent of debris from our test on the hard floor and removing all but the most difficult juice stains. Its mops also do a great job, removing 98.4 percent of the debris from our carpet, tile and wood tests. However, it wasn't as great at tackling sand on the hard floor and the quaker oats that are on carpet.
