The Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo
The Q Revo is a great option if you're looking to buy a mid-priced mop and robot vacuum. It's a great mopping capabilities, but is lacking some of the advanced features that are found in its more expensive sibling.
During testing it was able to eliminate pet hair and dry oats from carpets with a medium pile. However, like cheaper models, it doesn't utilize LIDAR to help you map your home.
1. IRobot Roomba S9+
The iRobot Roomba S9+ is one of the top-rated robot vacuums. It is a powerful cleaner and a variety of features, including a self-emptying dirt compartment built into its charging base. This robot can learn your cleaning habits, and suggest automatic schedules to give you the ultimate hands-free cleaning experience.
The setup process is simple thanks to the iRobot Home app that walks you through the procedure. Once the system is in place you can begin the cleaning automatically with just one button click.

Or you can select two detailed mappings to ensure that your entire home is cleaned thoroughly.
This robot vac performs well on floors that are unfinished and carpet with a low pile. It is able to take large objects and doesn't lose suction as quickly as some others do and can pick up pet hair with ease. It has a difficult time with plush or high-pile carpets, but iRobot promises that the next models will be more efficient.
The S9+ is a new design by iRobot that is focused on improving corner and edge cleaning. It's the first Roomba that adopts an open-fronted, flat-fronted design. The company hopes this will allow it to fit into walls and furniture. It's an improvement over the hockey puck-shaped robovacs that are widely used however we found it to be just marginally better than circular models.
iRobot claims that the S9+ also has a superior filtration system that blocks microscopic particles and allergens recirculating within your home. It's a nice premise, but we're not convinced it's enough to justify the price cost.
Its intelligent navigation system makes use of sensors to remember the structure of your home, and vSLAM to map the interior of your home. This allows it to avoid obstacles, such as stairs and other barriers, and to clean up your entire home efficiently possible.

When it comes to robots that combine mopping and vacuuming and mopping, the Roborock Q revo stands out. Its vac settings are just as effective as those of higher-end models and its mopping feature is even better. Its spinning pads do a much better job of scrubbing floors than a stationary vibration pad.
The only issue is that it lacks an additional rubber brush to allow for deeper cleaning, but that's a small price to pay if you are looking for one of the top robots on the market. The robo-vac's dust tank is also bigger than those on many of its rivals and takes only two or three cycles to fill it up, even at the highest dirt level.
In terms of the mopping device, I was amazed with its ability to scrub off hard-to-clean dirt from my floors. Its two mopping modes at the lowest that are less aggressive than the more powerful ones, generate minimal noise, allowing you to work or even watch TV without distraction. If it comes across a wall or piece of furniture it gently smacks into it and moves along.
The Q Revo is unique in that it operates almost autonomously, with little user involvement. The dock of the robo-vac has multiple functions and automatically transfers garbage into a bin hidden. It also cleans and dries the clean water tank. The app is capable of alerting you when something is in need of attention, like the water tank that is running out of clean or a scheduled vacuuming session that was cancelled due to a stuffed dust bin.
You can also combine or create rooms to customize the way that Q Revo treats your home. This feature is beneficial for those who have different flooring in different areas of your house or in the event that you have to regularly remove clutter, such as toys, clothes, and books. The robot vacuum was also one of the top performers in my test cleaning up debris from carpets and hardwood floors in the first pass. It is able to even remove wet spills but I would suggest cleaning them off using a clean cloth before bringing the robot in.

The X2 Omni is a premium robot mop and vacuum that has all the features you could wish for.

Although it's still quite large--it's more than two feet in height and depth and weighs in excess of four pounds--the robot and its base are much less bulky than the Roborock Q Revo or iRobot J7.
This model is also more efficient than the X1 version, since it has faster battery charging and can complete a cleaning of about 1,500 square feet in one charge. Additionally, it comes with a larger dustbin that is more durable to hold more debris and is easier to empty when required.
Lastly, the X2 Omni has a more intuitive app and a voice assistant that works offline, so you can use it even if you're not home. It also has a smart routing feature that lets it clean specific areas or rooms of your home, instead of following a predetermined route.

The central control panel has an oblique menu that lets you select cleaning modes or schedules, as well as preferences. The left and right buttons will open the app's settings where you can customize how the L10s Ultra interacts with your home.
Similar to the iRobot Roomba S9+ and Roborock Q Revo, the L10s Ultra uses a combination of LIDAR and camera-based navigation technologies to help you map out your home. This allows the robot to mop and vacuum efficiently without getting stuck. The LIDAR helps the robot vacuum avoid obstacles and recognize them, which is an excellent feature for homes with pets or small children.

Its mops also perform well and remove 98.4 percent of the debris from our tile, carpet and wood tests. However, it wasn't as efficient in dealing with sand on the floor or quaker oats on the carpet.
