The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a great choice if you're seeking a robot vacuum and mop that is priced in the middle. It offers a great mopping experience, but it lacks the features that make up its more expensive counterpart.
In tests, it was able to tackle dust and dry oats on carpets of medium pile and pet hair on hard flooring. However, like cheaper models, it doesn't use LIDAR to map out your home.
iRobot Roomba s9+
The iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuum is among the top-rated robots. It is loaded with features and incredible cleaning power, including an area for dirt that is built into the base of charging. This robot can also learn your habits of cleaning and suggest automatic schedules to ensure you have a hands-free experience.
The iRobot Home App guides you through the setup process. Once everything is connected, you can begin the automated cleaning process at the push of a button. You can select an overall clean that emphasizes getting rid of larger pieces of debris such as rice and cereal, or opt for two thorough maps of your home to ensure that your entire home gets a proper look.
This robot vacuum performs well on both floors that are bare and low-pile carpet. It can pick up pet hair and also suck large items up. It doesn't lose its suction as fast as some other robot vacuums. It does have a hard time with plush or high-pile carpet, but iRobot promises it will improve with the next models.
The S9+ features a new design from iRobot that concentrates on enhancing corner and edge cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt an open-fronted, flat-fronted design, which it hopes will allow it to be able to swaddle furniture and walls. It's a nice improvement over the standard 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 advanced filtering system that stops tiny dust particles and allergens from circulating within your home. It's a nice claim, however, we're not convinced it's enough to justify the price tag.
Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to keep track of the layout of your home and vSLAM to map your interior. It then cleans your entire home with ease by avoiding obstacles like stairs and other barriers. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and set virtual boundaries to ensure that the robot is aware of which areas need extra attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
Roborock Q Revo is a robotic that combines mopping and vacuuming. Its vacuum settings are as good as those found on higher-end models. The mopping system is better as its spinning pads clean your floors better than a vibrating pad.
The only drawback is the lack of a second brush for deeper cleaning. But that's not a problem when you're looking to purchase one of the best robots available. The dust tank on the robovac is larger than many of its competitors and filling it up only takes two or three cycles even when you've got the most dirt.
As for the mopping system, I was amazed by its ability to scrub 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 watch television without getting distracted. If it encounters the wall or a piece of furniture it gently smacks into it and moves on.
The Q Revo is unique in that it operates almost completely on its own, with no user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac can be multi-functional and can automatically transfer garbage into a bin hidden. It also washes and dries the clean water tank. The app is adept at notifying you when something requires attention, like the water tank being empty or a scheduled cleaning session being cancelled due to a stuffed dust bin.
You can also create or merge actual rooms to alter the way Q Revo treats your home. This feature is useful if you have different flooring in different areas of your home or in the event that you have to regularly get rid of clutter like toys, clothes and books. The robo-vac is also very efficient and was one of the top performers in my tests, taking debris from carpets as well as hardwoods on the first pass. It can even vacuum up wet spills. I recommend drying them with a towel before 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. Like the iRobot Roomba S9+, it is a top-quality vacuum that has a powerful suction that cleans hard and carpet floors, and an omni-rotating mop that scrubs tough staining. It also has an auto-cleaning base station that automatically empty and cleans mop pads, keeping them clean and ready for use again. It also features a new sensor system that is able to better recognizes obstacles, giving it the ability to prevent falling over furniture and other objects.
The most significant improvement over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this model is sleeker and more modern design thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for Bang & Olufsen products). The robot is still large--it measures over two feet in both height and depth, and weighs nearly four pounds. However the robot as well as its base are smaller than robot vacuum black friday 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 one charge. It also has a bigger and more durable dustbin that can hold more debris. This makes it easier to empty.
Lastly it is worth noting that the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app and a voice assistant that works offline, allowing you to use it even if you're not at home. It also comes with a smart routing feature that lets it clean specific rooms or areas of your home instead of following a predetermined route.
The X2 Omni is the top robot at mopping. Its mop pads rotating remove tough stains and its motor generates plenty of downward pressure. The vacuuming capabilities are also outstanding, and it also increases suction when it senses carpets to ensure thorough cleaning. It also has a huge battery that can last for weeks between charges, and its mopping mode is as powerful as the ones we've seen on a consumer-grade robot.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot mop and vacuum is a top-quality model that has a range of features that aren't often found on robots of this price. It is able to create detailed floor maps and identify various flooring types. It's also among the few robots that can automatically clean and dry its mop pad. But while these functions are useful, they also put the L10s Ultra in the luxury category which could make it slightly more expensive than some homeowners need.
The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaner. It is slim and tall, with a white finish that is complemented by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is dominated by a huge bumper, which protects furniture and the vacuum from damage while moving through the home. Sensors are concealed behind the front pane which help the L10s Ultra navigate tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top, you'll find one button that basically is a switch for on and off. This button will activate the vacuum. If you click it again, it will turn it off and send it back to its base station. The center of the control panel includes an oblique menu that lets you choose cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons open the settings of 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 technology to help you map out your home. This helps the robot mop and vacuum efficiently without getting stuck. The LIDAR also helps the robot vacuum recognize and avoid obstacles which is a great feature for families with pets or children.
The L10s Ultra is an efficient vacuum cleaner, removing 98.4 percent of debris from our test on hard floors and removing all but stubborn juice staining. The mops are also efficient, removing 98.4% of debris on our wood, tile, and carpet tests. However, it wasn't as effective in removing sand from the floor, or the quaker oats that are on carpet.
