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 is priced in the middle. It's a great mopping capabilities, but is lacking 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 use LIDAR however, as other models do, to locate your home.
Roomba s9+ from iRobot
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the most highly-rated robot vacuums. It has impressive cleaning power and a variety of features such as a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. The robot will learn your habits for cleaning and recommend automatic schedules that will give you an effortless cleaning experience.
Setup is easy, thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the process. Once everything is connected, you can begin the automatic cleaning functions at the push of the button. You can select the general clean option which focuses on the elimination of larger particles like rice and cereal. Or you can choose two mappings to ensure that the entire home is completely cleaned.
This robot vacuum is effective on both floors that are bare and carpets with low pile. It is able to take large objects and does not lose suction as fast as other models do, and it can even pick up pet hair with ease. It has a difficult time with high-pile or plush carpet, however iRobot promises it will get better in the future with new models.
The S9+ is a new design by iRobot that focuses on improving the edge and corner cleaning. It's the very first Roomba that adopts an open-fronted, flat-fronted design. The company hopes that this will allow it to fit into furniture and walls. It's a nice change from the standard hockey puck shape of robovacs, but we found it to be only marginally better than circular models.
iRobot also claims that the S9+ has an advanced filter system that prevents tiny dust particles and allergens from circulating within your home. It's a nice premise, but we're not convinced it's enough to justify the high price price.
Its smart navigation system uses sensors to remember the layout of your home and vSLAM to map the interior of your home. This allows it to stay clear of obstacles, like stairs and other barriers, and to clean up your entire house efficiently possible. The iRobot Home App allows you to schedule cleaning times and also set virtual boundary markers so that the robot can determine the areas that require attention.
2. Roborock Q Revo
Roborock Q Revo is a machine that combines mopping and vacuuming. Its vacuum settings are as effective as those on higher-end models and its mopping system is better still--its spinning pads do a better job of cleaning your floors than a stationary vibration pad.
The only downside is that it does not have an additional rubber brush for more thorough cleaning, but it's a small 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 its competitors and filling it takes just two or three times, even when you have maximum dirt.
In terms of the mopping system, I was impressed by its ability to scrub tough dirt off my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest, which are less aggressive than the more powerful ones, generate minimal noise, allowing you to work or even watch TV without interruption. It will gently hit furniture or walls, and move on if it comes across one.
The Q Revo is unique in that it operates almost autonomously, with little 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, as well as refills the clean water tank. The app will only notify you if something is wrong, such as a low clean water tank or a canceled vacuuming session due to a full bin.
You can also design and merge actual rooms to customize how the Q Revo will treat your home. This feature is useful if you have different flooring in different areas of your home or if you need to regularly clear out clutter such as clothes, toys and books. The robot vacuum was also one of the top performers in my tests and was able to remove debris from carpets and hardwood floors with the first pass. It can vacuum up even 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 comes with all the features you can need. Like the iRobot Roomba S9+, it is a top-quality vacuum that has a powerful suction to clean carpet and hard floors, plus a rotating mop that scrubs tough staining. It also comes with an auto-cleaning station that automatically washes and cleans the mop pads to keep them clean and ready to be reused. It also features a new sensor system that better recognizes obstacles, giving it the ability to avoid falling over furniture and other objects.
The biggest difference over the ECOVACS Deebot X1 is that it is sleeker and more modern design thanks to Danish firm Jacob Jensen Design (best known for its Bang & Olufsen products). While still quite big--it's over two feet tall and deep and weighs in excess of four pounds--the robot and its base are much smaller than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot J7.
This version is also more efficient than the X1 version, since it has a faster charging speed for batteries and can handle a complete cleaning of about 1,500 square feet with just one charge. It also comes with a larger and more robust dust bin that can hold more debris. This makes it easier to empty.
Additionally, the X2 Omni has a more user-friendly app and an assistant voice that works offline, which means you can use it even if you're away from home. It also comes with additional mopping modes as well as a smart routing feature that gives it the flexibility to clean certain rooms or areas of your home instead of simply following a predetermined path.
The Omni Omni has the top mopping performance of any robot we've tested because of its mop pads rotating to remove tough stains and a motor that generates plenty of downward pressure. Its vacuuming is excellent as well and it increases suction when it detects carpets to ensure that it does an excellent job. It comes with a huge, rechargeable battery that lasts up to seven days. The mopping mode of the robot is also powerful.
4. Dreametech L10s Ultra
The Dreametech L10s Ultra robot mop and vacuum is a premium model that comes with a variety of features that aren't often found on robots in this price range. It can make detailed floor maps and detect different flooring types. It's also one of the few robots that automatically clean and dry its mop pad. These features are great but they also place the L10s in the premium category. This might make it more expensive than homeowners need.
The L10s Ultra looks like a modern floor cleaner. It's slim and tall, with a white finish, accentuated by silver elements and mirror plating. The front of the machine is adorned with a large bumper that protects the vacuum cleaner and furniture when you are moving around your home. In the pane in the front is an additional navigation technology that is comprised of sensors that help the L10s Ultra navigate around tight corners and avoid obstacles.
On the top of the vacuum, there is a single button which acts as an on/off switch. This button will activate the vacuum. Clicking it again will turn it off and send it back to its base station. The circular menu in the middle of the control panel lets you to select cleaning modes as well as schedules and preferences. The left and right buttons allow you to access the more info settings in the app, where you can alter the way the L10s Ultra interacts 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 creates a detailed floor plan that enables the robot vacuum and mop efficiently without getting stuck in messy areas. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and identify them as obstacles, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or children.
The L10s Ultra has a solid vacuuming capability, clearing 98.4 percent of the debris from our hardwood floor test and removing all but the most stubborn juice stain. Its mops are also quite efficient, removing 98.4 percent of debris from our tile, wood, and carpet tests. It wasn't as effective in removing sand from the hard flooring or quaker oats off the carpet.
