Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos

A robot vacuum is a great device to keep an orderly home. It can pick up dust, pet hair, and other particles on the surface.

Some robots are able to sync with smart assistants such as Alexa and Google Assistant for a hands-free experience. Find models that recharge and resume cleaning where they left off.

1. iRobot s8

This smart robot vacuum and mop combo is an excellent option for homes with a variety of. It vacuums and mops well and has a great navigation system that includes both GPS and laser sensors, and comes with a variety of controls and features available via the app. It has a handy feature that lets you create Cleaning zones in areas that require additional attention, and Keep Out zones in areas where you do not want it to go. It also gets software updates, similar to the other Roomba products, which make it better over time.

It's costly but it's also among the most advanced robot vacuums that ZDNet has evaluated. It has a high-powered battery that can sweep an entire home in less than two hours, and it can switch between vacuuming and mopping with the press of a button. And, unlike other self-emptying robots that require you to empty the bin after each run, it automatically empties into a larger waste container above its charging dock.

It's got a range of other features that make it an excellent choice for homes of all sizes with its intelligent obstacle avoidance that uses the camera as well as processor-powered smarts to detect obstacles. It isn't often entangled or entrapped during a cleaning process, and it's the best self emptying robot vacuum at avoiding power cables and other objects in my tests. However, it isn't as effective in detecting pet waste or other dangers.

2. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid

Although Anker-owned Eufy has made a name for itself in the field of low-cost robot vacuums, it hasn't previously offered an all-in-one model that could also mop. The X8 Hybrid is a new model that has a wide range of modern features and is able to compete with more expensive models.

Laser navigation is the main selling point of this machine. The previous Eufy devices have constructed a rough map of your home utilizing infrared sensors and bumping into things but the X8's laser mapping system is much more accurate. It also takes a lot less time to build up an accurate picture of your space and stores multiple maps, which is ideal for multi-floor Robot mop vacuum homes.

The X8 is a good vacuum cleaner for floors that are clean. It is able to effortlessly sling debris under the side brushes and into its 400ml dustbin. Its tyres are adept at hugging edges and corners, despite being circular. Our tests revealed that it was able to remove 90 percent of the fur on hard floors.

There's a basic mopping option which uses the same water tank as the vacuuming one. While this is a good option for loose spills however, you aren't able to limit the amount of water it consumes, which will limit its effectiveness on more severe stains. It does, however, do an excellent job of picking up pet hair, and has a higher speed of pickup than the Roborock S7.

3. Miele RX2

Miele's RX2 robotic vacuum is renowned for its quiet, effective appliances. It is a stunning design, a great navigation system and an impressive cleaning power. It has some oddities in its operation that prevent it from being considered the top smart robot vacuum.

Like the latest models from iRobot like the RX2 has a dual-sensor mapping system that utilizes the LIDAR sensor to map the space and a pair of 3D scanning cameras that can detect and avoid obstacles (like furniture legs or pet waste) in real-time. Once the room is mapped the app allows you to assign virtual no-go areas and favorite sections that the robot will clean automatically. You can also manually change cleaning modes, start an automatic clean or see a live feed of the onboard cameras from the main screen.

The RX2's sensors work well, registering furniture and other obstructions in real-time. And its sweeping and suction power are top of the line, picking up surface litter from carpets with medium piles and dust in bare floors. It's not the fastest robot available. It's not the greatest climber and has issues with transition strips made of steel.

Some people buy robot vacuums due to the ease of setting up a schedule on an app, and then forgetting about them for weeks. It is essential for a robot capable of the task so our ZDNet staff has compared and examined some of the most popular models to help you select the best one for your home.

4. Shark ION

This budget robovac that looks just like the other, but has several more features and is more efficient. Its intelligent mapping system creates 2D and 3D maps of your home, and uses them to avoid obstacles and navigate. It can even detect common obstacles such as furniture legs and power cords in real-time. This combination of sensors along with a bump detector, and an infrared sensor that keeps the vacuum away from the stairs makes it one of our most agile vacuums.

In our tests, it effortlessly could climb over the thick shag rugs and didn't get stuck on them (like the RoboVac 11s or Roomba 690). Its navigation capabilities were impressive. Its composite score for flooring and carpet was higher than the competition, and it was able to pick up 98.5 percent of the dirt and embedded dog hair from our lab test samples.

The controls are less basic than those of the competition's. There's a clean button at the top and you can start it by using the app or by voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also set a schedule for your daily or weekly cleaning, set no-go zones, and see its cleaning history. Ion is clad in a stylish dark gray plastic that is both attractive and attractive in your home. Its rear dustbin is accessible for emptying, and taking out the filters is also a breeze.

5. Eufy 11S

If you're looking to buy a basic robotic vacuum that is simple and has no frills at a reasonable cost, the Eufy 11S is a great option. It lacks some of the smart features, such as digital mapping and Alexa integration, which are available in more expensive models, however, if you don't require those functions you can save some money with this model.

This robot is easy to set up and use. It does not require smartphone application or Wi-Fi pairing. However, it does come with the remote control that allows you to choose between different modes and adjust suction level. It also lets you manually turn off the robovac on a scheduled cleaning.

In our tests, the 11S was extremely effective in getting rid of pet hair and dirt from hard floors as well as in low-pile carpets. Its slim profile helped it reach under furniture and other items that more bulkier robots were unable to reach. It was able to pass easily over thresholds of doorways and transition from one type of floor to another.

The 11S, like other robots, can also eat some objects, such as cords and cat toys. The manufacturer says that you can stop this by keeping these objects off the floor and using a cord organizer if possible. It also suggests that you periodically clean the dustbin, replace the filters, and wash or change the brushes when needed.

6. IRobot Roomba 980

The Roomba 980 is the flagship robot vacuum. It's pricey however it's an excellent performer and is arguably the most sophisticated robot mop vacuum vacuum available. Its self-navigation and environmental mapping is a marvel to behold. It also has more advanced automation features than many competitors, including the ability to set virtual boundary lines using its mobile app. Although its app is a little sluggish and the 980 may spin out a bit while moving over cables, it's an extremely efficient robot vacuum.

One thing we really like about the 980 is that it makes use of its iAdapt 2.0 navigation sensors and visual simultaneous localisation and mapping technology (or vSLAM) to store the floor plan of your home. It will use this information to create a consistent and efficient cleaning path for each cycle. The result is cleaner floors and a better robot vacuum than most high-end robots.

Other features include dual multi-surface rubber brushes, that pick up dirt from carpet and hard floors, along with an ejector brush that moves debris into the bin of the robotic vacuum. Its floor tracking sensor assists it in maneuvering around furniture as well as along edges and the stairs. Cliff Detect prevents the Roomba from falling. It will also return to the base station to allow for charging between sessions. Although the 980's battery life and bin size aren't quite as good as those of other robot vacuums it's a sturdy and reliable machine that can keep your floors spotless for hours at a time.
