1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest in Ecovacs line of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet/dry model comes with the upgraded AIVI 3D2.0 lidar system from Ecovacs, which provides improved mapping and obstruction avoidance. It uses dual laser LiDAR, similar to that found in self-driving vehicles. It can scan an area up to 32 feet by the 270-degree angle. This means more precise mapping as well as faster response time and better cleaning accuracy.

It also comes with a rotating mopping mat constructed of chenille, making it easier to scrub hard spots than traditional mops. In my tests, the X2 Omni took just over an hour to wash its pad and begin work, and I noticed it was much more accurate than the previous models, which were able to follow a grid-like route around rooms. It was able to navigate around corners and edges of my rooms, and also make "Zambani patterns" across the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station regularly to empty the dust bin and wash the mop with hot water prior to beginning another task of cleaning.

Like other Ecovacs products, the X2 Omni is simple to set up and begin using. It takes just minutes to snap the dock into place, plug it in, and pair with your home Wi-Fi network. Then, you can launch the app and get started with your first task of cleaning. I was able to dig into the settings and personalize my floor plan in less than 15 minutes, robot vacuum mops which included creating zones that are restricted for sweeping and mopping and reworking my furniture layouts, and much more. The X2 Omni impressed me during my tests. It scored well in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal. It also was near-perfect in its results for edge and crevices cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of mopping and vacuuming, check out the ECOVACS Deebot T10 Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line of the brand and comes with the brand's new OZMO Turbo 2.0 mopping system that utilizes dual-spinning brushes to provide better cleaning than traditional oscillating scrubbing. It has YIKO, a natural language processing technology that is the first of its kind. It can respond to various voice commands. You can use the ECOVACS app to map your home, create cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The biggest issue with the T10 Omni is that it's unable to switch from mopping and vacuuming in one run. The T10 Omni comes with two modes that require you to attach and remove mop heads depending on your requirements. This is great for most households, but not for those who lead busy lives.

However, the Deebot Omni is an excellent robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests on pet hair. It removed more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood flooring. This is an excellent performance. It did an excellent job on tiles and carpets cleaning up 99% of dirt.

This robotic mop and vacuum comes with an enormous docking station that provides cool water auto-cleaning for its mop pads, auto-emptying into a 3L bag that's simple to replace, and hot-air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also comes with a large tank of water that allows it to be washed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Like other mopping machines, the Deebot T10 Omni has a wash tray in its base that cleans and dries the mop pads when it uses them. It does not have a removable tray so dirt, dust and other grime can slowly build up at the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

This is the first mopping model from Anker, which is known for its robot vacuums. It offers enhanced smarts, multiple map support and LIDAR scanning, along with twin turbine suction technology that adapts to the surface you're cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range robot vacuum cleaner, even if it doesn't quite deliver on its promise of being a one-stop shop for floor cleaning.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It is a circular design with sweeper wheels and a raised sensor area. On the opposite side, you'll see a motorised floorbrush and a single side brush that pushes dust away from the edges and into the main artery of its' mouth.' It's a little smaller than the main brushes on the rival iRobot Roomba S9, which I found to be easier to get under sofas and chairs.

Its mapping system is reasonably sophisticated and allows you to set no-mop zones as well as specific cleaning zones. However it tends to get into things (including its own charging dock) and isn't always great in climbing over rug. It was good at collecting pet hair off bare floors. In our tests, it picked up 89.5 percent of cat litter.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has a set of physical buttons on its base. These buttons allow you to select a cleaning mode or turn the robot on/off. These buttons can be used to establish zones that are not allowed to be visited and to view real-time maps. It's a little chatty, and will let you know what it plans to do next ("start cleaning") or even warn you that something's wrong (it doesn't have enough power to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This model is high-tech and sucks up pet hair, kibble, and other debris with top-notch performance and is able to effortlessly maneuver around furniture legs. It also has an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes as well as a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. It's Wi-Fi-connected and best controlled via the Neato app, where cleanings can be scheduled and the overall maintenance requirements be monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a a mix of hard carpet and flooring, however it requires some planning ahead to avoid getting stuck on toys, power cords or other unexpected obstacles.

This robot did well in our tests of hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything, from a single rice grain to a variety of dog food pieces with just one pass. It had a bit of difficulties transitioning to rugs however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is ideal for large spaces with both types of flooring and a variety of pets.

The A4s Pro is expensive, but it's a great buy for people who want to to leave the house hands-free so they can do other things or take care chores. The A4s Pro also offers a useful auto cleaning mode that boosts suction power to tackle tough spills and dirt and it is equipped with an electric ElectroWall that lets you place boundaries where the robot is not allowed to access.

This budget-friendly model from a well-known brand is the cheapest we've ever tested and offers incredible value for the money. Its basic navigation system is based on a basic random pathing algorithm and it lacks the ability to map rooms. This is why it's less effective as other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and into corners. Mopping mode was very effective in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not appear as durable however, it's better in cleaning pet hair off all surfaces. It does a better job of cleaning carpets with low piles and floor surfaces that are bare. It also uses smart-pathing navigational software for greater maneuverability. It also allows you to send it to a specific room, and its advanced suite of automation features include no-go zones and scheduling. It even lets you pause and resume a cleaning session, so it's perfect for households with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll prevents tangles with pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying docking station can hold up to 30 days worth of dirt before needing to be cleaned. It also has an array of angled side brushes that go deep into corners, robot vacuum mops and its multi-stage filtration system captures dust, dander and allergens for a cleaner air.

This robot vacuum feels solid and well-constructed, and it works with a smartphone app that enables you to change the settings for your vacuum and plan cleaning times in advance. The app also lets you see the iQ's remaining battery life and receive notifications via push for any issues it encounters during its cleaning cycle. You can utilize your voice to control it using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you do not have either of these devices, you can mark zones with physical boundary strips.

The iQ does a decent job of clearing bare floors and doing a fair job on shaggy and low-pile carpet however it lacks the same degree of autonomy as our top choices. It's also costly and its monthly costs can increase.
