1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro
Eufy's gunmetal-and-gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combinations on the market. It makes use of lidar to navigate, create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels) and integrates with the free Eufy Clean app to let you set up schedules and modify the S1's behavior.
The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which has flooring in the kitchen, dining area, and bathrooms and also a carpet in the middle and a large area. It easily drove close to walls without hitting them, and was able to traverse thresholds that were raised in the room without issue, though it occasionally had trouble navigating down stairs in a single pass. The S1 also did a fantastic job cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved smoothly on the flat side against the floor, and then lifting itself when it was near carpet or rugs.
Prior to each mopping session the docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and fills up its water tank with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock provides a deep-cleaning solution for the water. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 mopping sessions, however it will differ dependent on how often you use the mop.
Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires periodic maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. In order to do this, you'll have to wash the dirty water tank regularly to keep it from becoming clogged. It is also necessary to clean your sensors and swivel wheel regularly to prevent them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. Overall, the S1 requires less maintenance than other combos.

Its superior mapping capabilities, RGB AI smart detection, and an expanded side brush ensure that a thorough, customized clean is completed.

4. Roomba Q5 pro
A robot vacuum does a great job of removing dirt and debris, but it can't always be able to reach every particle of dust. That's why it's important to use your regular vacuum once a week, especially to remove dust from corners, on shelves, and in the crevices of your couch. Roborock's Q5 Pro is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop designed specifically for this purpose. It's easy to connect to your home WiFI network and it works with Alexa or Apple Siri.
The Q5 is a stripped-down version of the more expensive models in the S-series from the company, such as the flagship Roborock S8 maxV ultra. It is equipped with a similar LIDAR mapping sensor, but it saves price by eliminating mopping functions and using a cheaper plastic body.

This isn't a surprise as it doesn't include AI-powered obstacle-avoidance.
