Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Different Ways To Say Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more capable. They pass our tests on cleaning and can handle various flooring. Select models that allow you to choose between multiple types, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

A lot of the top models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that allows you to save schedules, maps and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is among the most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It makes use of lidar to navigate, create maps of rooms and floors (even multiple levels), and works with the free Eufy Clean app that lets you set schedules and customize the S1's behaviour.

When I tried the S1, it was quick to locate our downstairs, which is home to linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, along with medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was capable of driving up to walls and even cross raised thresholds without any problems. However it was a bit difficult traversing the stairs in one pass. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and raised itself when it came to carpets or rug.

The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and fills its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated water prior to every mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about a dozen cleaning sessions before it needs to be cleaned, although this will vary depending the amount you use the mop.

The S1 requires periodic maintenance, just like other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to avoid it becoming blocked. You'll also need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors frequently to avoid them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

This all-in-1 robot mop and vacuum from Ecovacs is a powerful option for your cleaning needs. Its robot vacuum has 8700Pa of suction power and comes with a variety of unique features, including voice control and smart path planning that cleans furniture and eliminates obstacles. The mopping capabilities of the robot are impressive. Rotating mops actually lift the floor and scrub it instead of just drag a pad across a surface. The mops are also cleaned and dried at the base station, as required.

This robot combination is simple to set up and use, with a simple interface that guides you through the procedure. It also comes with a hand vacuum which can be used to clean hard-to reach areas that the robot cannot reach. There are two water tanks which are automatically emptied or refilled. It also comes with a variety of useful settings for fine-tuning your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does well at vacuuming, with a strong suction that easily picks up most debris and even the smaller pieces of dust that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are pretty robust, however it does sometimes get hung in the small area mats or rugs that I have in my house (which is something you can reduce by creating a virtual border within the app). Its mopping capabilities are also very good, with a pair spinning mop heads that are able to lift and scrub floors instead of dragging the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned with heated water, and dried in the base station when needed. Mops can also be refilled at the top of the station as needed.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame launched the luxurious X30 Ultra earlier this year, but their new top-of-the-line robot mop and vacuum has more impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results and is easy to maintain. This makes it a top contender on our list of the top robot vacuums and Robotvacuummops.Uk mop. Its superior mapping abilities, RGB AI smart detection and an extended side brush ensure an efficient, custom-designed clean is achieved.

The X40 Ultra vacuums well, it can remove both large and fine debris. It works equally well on hard floors and carpets. It also cleaned our test's dirtiest areas well, avoiding tangled pet hairs and other messes. The sweeping capability of the machine is boosted by a sidebrush which automatically swings out in order to reach areas that are difficult to reach, and mop pads that extend across baseboards.

Its navigation is smart it can navigate narrow spaces and climbing the stairs without a hitch. It is able to move from one room to the next without having to change direction. This is useful for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance system is not as advanced than other models, however, and tends to leave a thick margin over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

Its app has a streamlined user interface that is designed to be easy to use for both new and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleanings, change the suction power and mopping settings as well as view 3D and 2D maps, and more. It can be controlled through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri and allows you to monitor its progress from anywhere. You can even remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. You will require a stable WiFi connection to use the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 Pro

Robot vacuums are fantastic at removing dirt and debris, but they can't reach every bit of dust. It's essential to clean your home often, at least once a week. This is particularly important for dust that accumulates in corners, on shelves, and in crevices in your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop designed specifically for this purpose. It's easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and works with Alexa or Apple Siri.

The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, such as the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It uses the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's less expensive because it doesn't come with mopping capabilities and comes with an aluminum body.

The Q5 remains one of the most powerful vacuums and mopping robots we've ever seen in this price range, despite not being able to clean your floors. It's got a powerful suction power of 5500Pa and an auto-empty system, so you don't have to empty the bin manually every time. It also has a clever application that lets you choose the type of floor and schedule cleanings, and an automatic water tank refill and wash system to allow hands-free operation.

Its mops also impress with their 2700Pa capacity to tackle dirt and pet hair on carpets as well as hard flooring. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't have any trouble with high-pile carpets and area rug, but it was unable to remove cables or kitty litter, which is no surprise since it does not include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we've tested. It also utilizes a unique system to map your home. This allows it to get into places that other vacuums cannot reach. It also collects more dust in a larger bin, so you don't have to empty it as frequently. It also has washable filters, which can further cut costs. The robot is able to detect carpets and increase suction when needed. The app also lets you to mark off areas that you want it to stay clear of and is a great feature.
