1. Roborock S8 maxV Ultra

Roborock is a household name for its top-of-the-line robot vacuum cleaners, and this top model isn't a disappointment. It is equipped with more advanced features, but its real advantage is that it can intelligently clean for you. It can identify the types of flooring such as no-go zones, stubborn stains, pet bowls and much more. It does this using a camera and smart map to assess its environment. This helps it to determine what to do and when to do it which means you don't need to constantly push a button or select multiple modes.

Like all Roborock vacuums, it can also mop. This is a great addition to the collection as it makes this robovac even more efficient than it was before. The mop head is efficient too and can be changed to a scrub mode for cleaning harder dirt. Another bonus feature is that the robovac can overcome small thresholds of step thanks to its front-mounted sensor and rotating FlexiArm.

It is easy to use, with the simple application that lets you set rooms for it to clean and modify settings. The voice assistant, Rocky, is very responsive and picks up commands with clarity.

The Dreame X40 Ultra is a powerful cleaning machine that works at the top of its class in both vacuuming and mopping. This vacuum cleaner has strong suction, advanced features and is pet-friendly. It's a great choice for busy families. Its advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and customizable options make it among the top robot vacuum cleaners available on the market.

3. Eufy X10

The Eufy X10 offers a wide variety of features for a reasonable price. It can do everything you expect a robot remote vacuum cleaner or mop to do, and all at a reasonable price point.

This model can handle floor cleaning tasks with no assistance, including mopping, sweeping and dusting. The base station is a slightly larger than other models and requires 50cm of room either side and 150cm front however for those with enough space, it's capable of offering a completely hands-free clean.

The smart navigation technology of the X10 is able to track the layout and design of your home. It stores the information in its internal memory without ever sending it to the cloud. The X10 can remember room layouts using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.

The X10's intelligent object recognition system also performs well it allows the robot to easily recognize and avoid dangers like power cords. It can even be programmed to automatically clean and recharge its battery, which is a nice feature. The X10 gets stuck on thicker rug. It slams into them loudly and the front brush is pushed into the rug.

Overall it's a top-quality robot vacuum and mop, but it's disappointed by a confusing application. Unlike the iRobot app, which holds your hand through the process of setting up your robot and teaching you how to use it, the Eufy Clean app leaves you to work things out on your own. It's a great choice for those looking to personalize it to suit their needs.

4. SwitchBot S10

The SwitchBot S10 is a full-fledged vacuum cleaner and mop robot that brings the best of the two worlds of home cleaning. It comes with unique design framework that allows it to gather dust and supply mopping water within the same machine.

It's equipped with all the standard sensors found on top-of-the-line robot vacuums to build the map of your home in real-time, avoiding obstacles, and recognizing different kinds of carpets and hard floors. A front-facing AI-capable camera included which makes it easier to navigate around your home and find places that aren't accessible for most robotic vacuums.

This powerful robotic device is outfitted with powerful suction motors capable of getting rid of pet hair dirt and other debris both from hard floors and low pile carpeting. It can also be customized in the app to suit your needs with specific cleaning routines, adjustments to vacuuming and mopping power, and real-time notifications of its current status.

The mop is extremely effective. It has a RevoRoll roller that applies 10N of force to any flooring and a RinseSync cleaning system that automatically cleans when it moves through your home. This helps to keep the mop clean while it sifts dirt and stops it from spreading around your home.

The S10's battery is not as long lasting as its competitors and could require recharging halfway through the year for those who live in a large house. It also sounds quite loud when it is operating, and may not be suitable to use in places where quiet is desired. It's a great value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is a model that stands out from the rest because of its sleek, modern design.

5. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is a new version of Switchbot's Mini robot vacuum. This latest version combines an Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor and upgraded suction power reaching 3000Pa or more to provide greater corner coverage and overall cleanliness.

The four-stage cleaning process is a consolidated method that collects the debris, then lifts it up and sweeps it from floors and carpets. The dust bin is self-emptying so you don't have to worry about emptying it frequently.

The app also lets you to mark areas of the room which you want the device to stay clear of, such as pets or power cords. This is a common feature on most robotic vacuums, and is particularly useful when you have specific areas in your home that require more attention than others.

You can set the K10 Plus to return to its base station every 60, 75 or 90 minutes to automatically empty its trash bin. This is a significant improvement over many other robots that need to be returned frequently and manually emptied, which can save you time.
