The best robot vacuum for thick carpet and pet hair Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

For pets that shed fur A robot vacuum/mop set-up is among the best floor cleaning options. It can mop, vacuum and clean its own dual mop pad.

It also has 8,000Pa suction which is the highest of any robot we've examined. It also can save your home's maps and create cleaning schedules through its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the most recent in the Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet-dry model is equipped with the company's upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacles avoidance. The system is equipped with dual laser LiDAR, similar to that found in self-driving vehicles. It can scan that is up to 32 feet by 270 degrees. This translates to more precise mapping, quicker response times, and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille fabric, which makes it easier to scrub tough areas unlike traditional mop. During my testing the X2 Omni took just over one minute to clean its pad and begin work, and I noticed that it was much more accurate than previous models that were able to follow a grid-like route around rooms. It was adept at navigating my rooms with its corners and edges and also create a "Zambani pattern" that ran up and down the center of the room. It also returned to its OMNI station frequently to empty the dustbin and wash the mop with hot water prior to starting another cleaning job.

Like other Ecovacs products, the X2 Omni is a breeze to set up and begin using. Snap the dock into position then plug it in and connect it to your WiFi network at home. It takes just some minutes. Then, you can start the app and get started with your first cleaning task. I was able to dig into the settings and personalize my floor plan in less than 15 minutes, including creating zones that are restricted for sweeping and mopping as well as reworking my wall-mounted furniture layouts, and much more. The X2 Omni impressed me in my tests. It scored highly in the areas of pet hair removal and debris removal, and also was near-perfect in its results for crevices and edge cleaning.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

If you need a powerful combination of vacuuming and mopping then check out the EcoVACS Deebot Omni. It is the most advanced of the T-line offered by the company and features the OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than the traditional scrubbers. It also has YIKO integrated, a first-of-its kind natural language processing technology that allows it to respond to a variety of voice commands. The ECOVACS App allows you to design your home, create cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The biggest issue with the T10 Omni is that it can't switch between mopping and vacuuming in a single run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum in accordance with your needs. This is great for most households, but not so for those who lead busy lives.

However, the Deebot T10 Omni is a fantastic robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests for pet hair. It was able to remove more than 96% of the debris from our hardwood floors. This is an excellent performance. It was a success on tiles and carpets cleaning up the majority of dirt.

This robot vacuum and mop has a large docking system that lets you clean the mop pads automatically using cool water for the mop pads. It also features an auto-emptying 3L bag which is easy to replace, and hot air drying for quick and simple maintenance. It also has a large reservoir of water that allows it to be rinsed and dried more frequently between mopping sessions.

Deebot T10 has an integrated wash tray into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It makes use of the wash tray to wash and dry the mop pads when it is using them. But it doesn't use an open tray, meaning that dirty water, dust, and other grime gradually build up on the bottom of the tray over time.

3. RoboVac X8 Hybrid

While Anker-owned Eufy is well-known in the world of robot vacuums, this model is its first venture into the world of mopping. It is equipped with improved intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that adjusts automatically to the type of surface you're cleaning. It's a tempting mid-range vacuum cleaner however it doesn't quite deliver on its promise to be an all-in-one solution 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 other side, you'll see a motorised floorbrush and one side brush that moves dust from the edges into the main artery of its' mouth.' It's a bit smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under chairs and couches.

Its mapping system lets you define no-mop areas as well as specific cleaning zones. It has a habit of hitting objects, including its own charging station, and isn't the best in climbing over carpets. It did a good job of picking up pet hair on bare floors however, and in our tests it was able to pick up 89.5% of kitty litter - a figure that is higher than any of the most powerful robots we've tested.

The X8 Hybrid is controlled via an app, but it also has a set of physical buttons located at the base of the. These buttons let you select a cleaning mode or turn the robot off/on. These buttons can be used to set up no-go areas and look up maps in real-time. It's a little chatty, too, and will tell you what it's planning to do next ("start cleaning") or alert you that something's wrong (it isn't able to charge, for example).

4. ILIFE A4s

This high-tech model can pick up pet hair, kibble and other particles with impressive effectiveness. It also moves effortlessly around furniture legs. It comes with a set of features that is impressive, including two cleaning modes as well as an automatic docking station, and real-time obstacles avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device is controlled best through the Neato App which schedules cleanings and maintenance requirements are monitored. The X2 Omni is a great option for homes with large spaces that have a mix of hard and carpet floors. However it will require some planning in advance to avoid getting caught by toys, power cables, or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

In our tests of hardwood floors and kibble, this robot performed well and was able to take everything from one grain of rice up to many pieces of dog food in one go. It had a bit of trouble transitioning to rugs, however, in general, this vacuum cleaner is ideal for rooms that have both types of flooring and a variety of pets.

The A4s Pro is a bit expensive, but it's a great option for those who wish to be able to leave the house with no hands on so they can get out and do other things or take care chores. The A4s Pro also offers a useful auto-cleaning mode that automatically increases suction power to deal with tough dirt and spills, and is equipped with batteries that power the ElectroWall that allows you to define boundaries where the robot isn't permitted to access.

This budget-friendly model from a well-known new brand is the cheapest we've ever tested and offers an outstanding value for the money. The basic navigation system employs a super-basic random pathing algorithm that isn't equipped with room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time Efficient 1800Pa Suction Robot Vacuum - Ideal for Pet Hair than other models on this list. It's still able to get under furniture and in the corners. Its mopping mode performed very well in our tests, picking up stray hair and other debris.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ isn't quite as well-built as the Roomba S9, but it does better overall at getting rid of pet hair on all surfaces. It clears bare floors more efficiently and does a decent job on low-pile carpet, and it uses smart-pathing navigational technology for better maneuverability. It also lets you send it to a specific room, and its advanced suite of automation features include no-go zones and scheduling. It lets you suspend and restart cleaning sessions making it ideal for homes with pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll prevents the tangles caused by pet hair and other debris and its self-emptying bagless dock station can hold up to 30 days worth of dirt prior to needing to be empty. It also comes with an array of side brushes that are angled to penetrate into corners and its multi-stage filtration system can capture dust, dander and allergens for cleaner air.

This robot vacuum is well-built and feels solid. It is compatible with a smartphone application that lets you change the vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions ahead of time. The app lets you view the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive push notifications in the event of any issues during the cleaning session. You can control it with your voice via an Amazon Alexa device or Google Assistant device. If you don't own either of these devices, you can mark areas with physical boundary markers strips.

The iQ does a good job of removing bare floors and doing a fair job on shaggy and low-pile carpet however it lacks the same level of autonomy as our top choices. It's also costly and its ongoing costs can add up over time.
