The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

The Q Revo is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a robotic mop and vacuum that's priced in the middle. It's got a fantastic mopping performance but lacks some of the features of its more expensive sibling.

During testing it was able to remove pet hair and dry oats out of medium-pile carpets. It does not use LIDAR however, as other models do to map your home.

Roomba s9+ from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top-rated robot vacuums. It has impressive cleaning power and a variety of features, including an automatic dirt bin built into its charging base. The robot will learn your habits of cleaning, and suggest automated schedules that will give you a truly hands-free cleaning experience.

It's easy to set up thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the process. Once the system is set up it can begin cleaning automatically with just one button click. You can select an overall clean that focuses on cleaning up larger debris like rice and cereal or two thorough maps of your home to ensure that your entire home gets a proper look.

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 other models do, and it can even clean up pet hair without difficulty. It's a challenge with plush or high-pile carpets however iRobot claims that future models will be more efficient.

The S9+ features a new design from iRobot, which concentrates on improving edge and corner cleaning. It's the first Roomba to adopt a flat-fronted D-shaped design, which it hopes will allow it to be able to swaddle walls and furniture. It's a great improvement over the traditional hockey puck shape of most robovacs, though we found it to be only incrementally better than circular models.

iRobot also claims the S9+ comes with an improved filter system that prevents microscopic dust particles and allergens from recirculating throughout your home. It's a nice claim, but we're not convinced it's enough to justify the high price tag.

Its smart navigation system utilizes sensors to store the layout of your home and vSLAM to map your interior of your home. This allows it to avoid obstacles, like stairs and other barriers, and also to clean your whole home in the most efficient way possible. The iRobot Home app lets you control the robot and schedule cleaning times, and establish virtual boundary markers, so it can recognize areas that need extra attention.

2. Roborock Q Revo

Roborock Q Revo is a robot that combines mopping and vacuuming. Its vacuum settings are just as good as those on more expensive models. The mopping system is better - its spinning pads scrub your floors much more effectively than the vibrating pads.

The only drawback is that it does not have an additional rubber brush to allow to provide more thorough cleaning, but it's an acceptable cost to pay for if you want to get one of the best robots on the market. The robo-vac's dust tank is larger than many of its competitors and takes only two or three cycles to fill it, even with the highest dirt level.

As for the mopping system, I was impressed by its ability to scrub hard dirt off my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest that are less abrasive than the more powerful ones, generate little noise, allowing you to work or watch TV without interruption. If it comes across the wall or a piece of furniture, it gently bumps into it and then moves along.

What really distinguishes the Q Revo apart is that it's designed to function almost completely autonomously, requiring only a little for user intervention. The dock of the robo-vac is multifunctional and automatically transfers trash into a hidden bin. It also washes and dries the clean water tank. The app is adept at nagging you only when something is in need of attention, such as the water tank being empty or a scheduled cleaning session being cancelled due to a stuffed dust bin.

You can also create or combine rooms to customize the way that Q Revo manages your home. This is an excellent feature to have if you have several areas of the home with different flooring materials or if there's a lot of items that need to be cleared out frequently, like toys, clothes, and books. The robot vacuum is also efficient and was one of the top performers in my tests, taking dirt from carpets and hardwood floors in the first attempt. It can also clean up spills that are wet, though I recommend drying them with a damp cloth prior to sending the robot into.

3. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni has all of the features you'd expect from a high-end robot vacuum and mop combo and more. It comes with the ability to rotate mops 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 washes and empties mop pads to keep them fresh and ready for reuse. It also comes with a brand new sensor system that can better detects obstacles, granting it the ability to prevent falling over furniture and other objects.

The biggest improvement over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that this version has a sleeker, more modern design, thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for Bang &amp
