Buzzwords De-Buzzed: 10 Other Ways Of Saying Robot Vacuum And Mop

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are becoming more capable. They have passed our tests for cleaning, and are able to handle different flooring. Choose models that allow users to select between different types, including self-emptying and clean stairs.

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

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

The gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro from Eufy is one of most impressive mop and robot vacuum combos available. It uses lidar to navigate, create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels) and integrates with the free Eufy Clean app that lets you set schedules and alter the behavior of the S1.

When I tried the S1, it was quick to identify our downstairs, which has Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, as well as carpeting of medium-pile as well as a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls without colliding with them, and even managed to traverse thresholds that were raised in the room without issue, though it occasionally was unable to navigate down stairs in a single pass. The S1 performed well in cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and lifted itself when it was near carpets or rugs.

Prior to each mopping session the docking station of the S1 automatically emptys its trash bin and refills the water tank onboard with clean filtered ozonated water.  automatic vacuum  includes a cleaning solution in the water for deep cleaning. The S1's tank of water holds enough water for about 12 cleaning sessions before it has to be empty, but this can vary based the amount you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots, the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. To do this, you'll need to wash the dirty water tank occasionally to avoid it from clogging. You will also need to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to avoid them becoming clogged up with dust or dirt. Overall the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

2. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo Complete

Ecovacs all-in-one robotic vacuum and mop is a powerful solution to your cleaning needs. Its robot vacuum has 8,700Pa suction power and comes with a number advanced features like voice control and smart path scheduling that cleans furniture and avoids obstacles. Its mopping capability is impressive, with mops that rotate that actually lift and scrub the floor as opposed to just drag the pad across it. The mops can also be dried and cleaned at the base station if needed.

This robot has an easy interface that guides you throughout the process. It comes with a hand vacuum that recharges for those hard-to-reach areas that the robot can't reach, as well as two water tanks that are automatically emptied and refilled when needed. It also has a range of settings that can be used to fine tune your cleaning preferences.

The Deebot X2 Combo Complete does well at vacuuming, with a strong suction that effortlessly picks up most debris and even the tiny dust particles that other robots struggle with. Its navigation capabilities are quite good, though it could get stuck on small mats and rugs at my home (which you can alleviate by creating virtual boundaries in the app). Mopping capabilities are very good, with a pair spinning mops which can lift and scrub the floor instead of drag the pad across it. The mops are also cleaned using heated water and dried in the base station when needed. The mops are also filled from the top of the base station as required.

3. Dreame X40 ultra

Dreame's X30 Ultra robot vacuum and mop were released earlier in the year. However, their latest flagship model comes with even more impressive features. It has fantastic cleaning results, and it is easy to maintain. This makes it a contender for our list of the top robot vacuums and mop. Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart recognition and a long side brush ensure a thorough, customised clean.

The X40 Ultra does an excellent job of vacuuming, removing large and fine particles from hard floors as well as carpets. It was able to clean the dirtiest areas of our tests efficiently by avoiding pet hairs as well as other dirt. The sweeping capabilities are augmented by an additional side brush that automatically extends to reach hard-to-reach corners, and an extendable mop pad that can be placed alongside baseboards.


Its navigation is intelligent that can navigate narrow spaces and negotiating stairways without stepping back. It is able to move from one room to the next without needing to reverse the direction. This is beneficial for homes that have multiple rooms. Its obstacle avoidance technology isn't as advanced than some competitors, however, and tends to leave a thick space over obstacles, which can result in missed spots.

The app features a simple and intuitive interface that will be user-friendly for both new and experienced users. The app allows you to schedule and manage cleaning tasks. You can also alter suction power, mop setting, and look up 3-D and 2-D maps. It can be operated through the app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri and allows you to keep an eye on its progress from anywhere. You can also remotely control the X40 Ultra camera for real-time monitoring. However, you will require a stable Wi-Fi connection in order to operate it via the app and external controls.

4. Roomba Q5 pro

Robot vacuums are great at picking up dirt and debris but they can't reach every bit of dust. That's why it's important to use your regular vacuum at least once a week, especially to remove dust from corners, on shelves and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop robot that was designed to accomplish exactly that. It's easy to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network, and is compatible with Alexa and Apple Siri, making it an even more convenient addition to your daily cleaning routine.

The Q5 is an unadorned version of the company's more expensive S-series models. It includes the flagship Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. It has the same LIDAR mapping sensors, however it's cheaper since it doesn't come with mopping capabilities, and also has plastic body.

Despite losing the ability to wipe your floors, the Q5 has the best vacuum and mopping performance we've seen from a robotic at this price. It has powerful 5500Pa suction and an automatic emptying system, which means you don't need to empty the bin manually every time. It has a smart app that lets you schedule cleaning and set the floor type. It also features an automatic water tank filling system and washing system that is hands-free.

The mops are also quite impressive, with 2700Pa of power that can tackle dirt, dust, and pet hair on carpets and hard floors. The Q5 is among the few robots we tested that didn't show any problems with carpets with high piles or area carpets, but it didn't remove cat litter or cable tangles that's not a surprise since it does not include AI-powered obstacle avoidance.

5. K10 Plus

K10 Plus is one of the quietest robovacs we have tested. It also has a unique method to map your home. This will allow it to enter places that other vacuums can't reach. This device also is able to collect more dust in a larger bin, so you don't need to empty it as often. Additionally, it has washable filters which further reduces the cost of using the device. The robot can also recognize carpets and boost the suction if required. You can also mark areas you want the robot to avoid using the app.
