Best Robot Vacuums and Mop Combos
|
||||
|
||||
A robot vacuum is the best tool for maintaining the cleanliness of your home. It will pick up pet hair, dust, and other debris on surfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
Certain robots can connect to smart assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant to provide a hands-free experience. Look for models that recharge and resume cleaning where they left off.
|
||||
|
||||
1. iRobot s8
|
||||
|
||||
This smart [robot vacuum and mop](https://www.robotvacuummops.com/) combo is a fantastic choice for many homes. It is able to vacuum and mop well and has a great navigation system that includes both GPS and laser sensors and offers a broad range of features and controls accessible through the app. It also comes with a useful feature that lets you create Cleaning zones for specific areas that require more attention and Keep Out zones where you don't want it to go. It also receives software updates, similar to the other Roomba products, that improve the quality of the product over time.
|
||||
|
||||
It's expensive but is also among the most advanced robot vacuums ZDNet has ever tested. It's got a huge battery that can vacuum the entire house in less than two hours. It can also switch between vacuuming and mopping at the push of one button. And unlike other self-emptying robots that require you to empty the dust bin after each run, it automatically empties into an even larger waste container on top of its charging dock.
|
||||
|
||||
It comes with a variety of other features that make it an excellent choice for homes with a lot of space with its intelligent obstacle avoidance, which uses both a camera and processor-powered smarts to detect obstacles. It's not often tripped or stuck during a cleaning process. In my tests it was the most effective at avoiding objects like power cables. However, it isn't as accurate in detecting pet waste or other hazards.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid
|
||||
|
||||
Eufy owned by Anker is now a household name in the world of low-cost robot vacuums. But it didn't provide a model that could also mop. The X8 Hybrid is a new model that comes with a variety of features that are advanced and can compete with more expensive models.
|
||||
|
||||
The laser navigation system is the primary selling point of this machine. Previous Eufy devices have built up an outline of your home utilizing infrared sensors and bumping into things, but the X8's laser mapping system is far more precise. It takes less time to create an accurate map of your home. It also has the ability to store multiple maps. This is ideal for multi-floored homes.
|
||||
|
||||
The X8 is a great vacuum cleaner for floors with no dust. It is able to easily throw debris through the side brushes and into its 400ml dustbin. Its tyres are also very adept at securing edges and corners, even though they're circular. It's not a great kitty litter eater, however as our tests show it only removes about 90 percent of the fur from hard floors.
|
||||
|
||||
The basic mopping mode uses the same reservoir of water as the vacuuming mode. This is ideal for spills that are not too serious, but you can't limit the amount of water that it uses. That said, it does an excellent job of removing pet hair, and has a higher pickup rate than the Roborock S7.
|

3. Miele RX2
|
||||
|
||||
The company is known for its quiet home appliances, Miele's RX2 robot vacuum comes with outstanding cleaning power, beautiful design and great navigation. It has a few oddities in its operation that prevent it from being considered the best smart robot vacuum.
|
||||
|
||||
The RX2 comes with a dual-sensor mapping system that uses a LIDAR to map an area and a pair of 3D scanning cameras for detecting and staying clear of obstacles (such as furniture legs or pet waste). Once the room is identified it is possible to assign virtual no go areas and favorite sections to the robot. You can also manually change cleaning modes, start a manual clean or watch a live feed of the cameras onboard from the main screen.
|
||||
|
||||
The RX2's sensors work well in 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 on floors with no floor. It's not the fastest robot available. Like many others it's not a great climber and is prone to problems with things like thresholds made of metal transition strips.
|
||||
|
||||
Many people purchase robot vacuums due to the ease of setting up a schedule using an app, and then forgetting about them for weeks. However, it's essential that a robot can do the job and that's the reason why our ZDNet staff examined and reviewed a few of the most popular ones to help you select the best one for your home.

4. Shark ION
|
||||
|
||||
This budget robovac that looks like any other, but comes with several more features and better performance. Its smart mapping system creates 3D and 2D maps of your home, and uses them to navigate around obstacles and avoid them. It's even able to spot common obstacles like power cords and furniture legs in real-time. This combination of sensors, along with a bump sensor, and an infrared drop sensor that keeps it off stairs make it one of the most agile vacuums we've tried.
|
||||
|
||||
In our tests, it was able to could climb over the thick shag rugs and didn't get stuck on them (like the RoboVac 11s or Roomba 690). Its navigation skills were impressive. Its composite score for flooring and carpet beats the competition and it picked up 98.5 percent of surface litter and embedded dog hair from our lab test samples.
|
||||
|
||||
The controls are simpler than the competitors. There's an uniform cleaning button on the top, and you can launch it via the app or by voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also set up a schedule for daily or weekly cleaning, set areas that are not allowed to be cleaned, and check its cleaning history. Ion is clad in a smart dark gray plastic that looks and feels appealing in your home. Its rear dustbin is easily accessible to empty, and the removal of the filters is also a breeze.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Eufy 11S
|
||||
|
||||
If you're looking for a basic, no-frills robot vacuum at a low cost, the Eufy 11S might be your best bet. It's not equipped with some advanced features like Alexa integration and digital mapping, which are available in more expensive models. If you do not need these features, you could save money.
|
||||
|
||||
This robot is easy to use and set up. It does not require a smartphone application or Wi-Fi pairing, but it does come with an remote control that lets you choose between different modes and alter the suction level. You can also set up a manual schedule to send the robotvac on an cleaning schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
In our tests, the 11S was very effective at cleaning dirt and pet hair from hard floors and in low-pile carpets. Its slim profile made it possible to pass under furniture that is low-hanging and other items that some bulkier robots could not reach. It was able to go easily over thresholds of doors and move from one floor type to another.
|
||||
|
||||
The 11S, just like other robots, can also eat some objects, such as cords and cat toys. The manufacturer suggests you prevent this from happening by keeping these objects off the ground and by using a cord organizer when you can. It also suggests cleaning the dustbin regularly replacing the filters, and washing or changing the brushes as needed.

6. IRobot Roomba 980
|
||||
|
||||
The Roomba 980 is iRobot's flagship robot vacuum. It's expensive but it's an excellent performer and, in some ways, the most advanced robot vacuum you can purchase. Its self-navigation and environmental mapping are a joy to behold. It has more advanced automation than the majority of its rivals, for instance the ability to create virtual boundary markers using its mobile app. Although the app isn't the most responsive and the 980 may spin out a bit when crossing cables, it's an extremely efficient robot vacuum.
|
||||
|
||||
We love the 980, because it makes use of its iAdapt2.0 navigation sensors as well as visual simultaneity localisation and mapping (or vSLAM) to store the floor plan of your home. It will use this information to create a consistent, efficient cleaning path for each cycle. The result is cleaner floors and a cleaner vacuum than other high-end robot vacuums.
|
||||
|
||||
Other features include two multi-surface rubber brushes which pick up dirt from carpet and hard floors and an ejector brush that moves debris into the robotic vacuum's bin. Its floor tracking sensors help it navigate across furniture and along edges, and Cliff Detect keeps the Roomba from slipping down stairs. It also automatically returns to the base station for simple charging between sessions. The battery life and bin capacity of the 980 aren't as great as other robot vacuums. However, it is an extremely reliable and sturdy machine that will keep floors clean for many hours.
