1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra

Roborock is known for its high-end robot vacuum cleaners, and the flagship model isn't a disappointment. It is equipped with more advanced features, but its main advantage is that it can intelligently clean your home. It can recognize floor types and stains as well as areas that are not to be cleaned. It does this by using sensors and a smart map to evaluate its surroundings. This allows it to decide what it should do at any given moment and you don't have to press buttons repeatedly or setting multiple modes.

Like all Roborock vacuums, it can also mop. This is an excellent addition to the Roborock range because it makes the robovac even better. The mop head can also be switched into a scrub mode to clean more difficult dirt. The robovac is also able to reach small thresholds thanks to its rotating FlexiArm and front-mounted sensors.

The app is easy to use and allows you to customize settings. You can also set up rooms for the robot to clean. Rocky, its voice assistant, is responsive and understands commands clearly.

The Dreame X40 Ultra vacuum cleaner is an extremely powerful machine that excels in both vacuuming as well as mopping.

3. Eufy X10

The Eufy X10 offers a wide array of features at an affordable price. It can do everything you'd need to have a robot mop and vacuum to accomplish at a reasonable cost.

This model does an impressive job of handling floor cleaning tasks without hands, from sweeping to mopping and even dusting. The base station needs slightly more space than other models, needing 50cm either side and a total of 150cm in front.

The smart navigation technology of the X10 can detect the layout and style of your home. It stores the information in its internal memory without ever sending it to the cloud. Combining AI See with iPath laser mapping technology, the X10 is able to efficiently remember room layouts and optimize cleaning routes for effectiveness and efficiency.


The X10's smart object recognition system also works well, allowing the robot to easily recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and replenish the battery automatically, which is an excellent feature. The X10 is unable to stay on larger rug. It slams into them loudly and the front brush is pushed into the rug.

Overall, this is a top-notch robot vacuum and mop, but it's disappointing due to a confusing app. Eufy Clean's app is not as easy to use as the iRobot App which walks you through the process of setting up your robot up and shows you how to use. It's a great option for those who wish to personalize it.

Unfortunately, the S10's battery life isn't like some of its rivals and may require the battery to recharge every so often when you have more space in your home.
