This model is ideal for users seeking a pelo-nonsense robotic cleaner with thoughtful, automated features for efficient home care.

If your home requires both dry dust removal and wet mopping, this combo unit streamlines your cleaning routine.

We'll also look at how the robot tackles the issue of switching between vacuuming and mopping – will it reliably detect floor type, and pick up its mop pad when moving from hard floor onto carpet, for example?

Spacious homes require vacuums with robust battery life and effective navigation. Models like the MAMNV T7S Combo with its 180-minute runtime, and the Shark AI Ultra with mapping, allow for fewer interruptions and wide coverage. Self-charging ensures they continue seamlessly, even across multiple cleaning cycles.

Deciding which vacuum to buy can be a complicated process. Everyone wants a powerful cleaner that’s effective and convenient to use, but without firsthand experience, how can you tell which models will perform well?

The X40 also features an extending side brush arm to reach corners — like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — and its dual oscillating mop pads are more effective than Roborock’s thin microfiber pad.

It’s engineered for low noise, helping create a peaceful home atmosphere even during daily cleaning. The self-charging capability ensures the vacuum always returns to its dock after finishing a cleaning session or when the battery runs low.

Previously in this slot we had the Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, which offers hot water mopping that's great at tackling greasy spillages. There are some compromises you'll need to make with this model, but it's often on sale and significantly cheaper than this Eureka model.

Pet owners and those who want a low-effort cleaning routine will appreciate the Shark AI Ultra’s combination of powerful cleaning and self-empty technology.

The Switchbot S20 Pro robot vacuum / mop hybrid, the successor to my previous pick for favorite mopping vacuum, the S10, is scheduled to launch in May or June. It features an extendable roller mop and side brush and 15,000Pa of suction power, more than twice that of the prior model.

Plus, the addition of a side mop and flexi-arm brush that extends from the bot helped with cleaning edges and corners.

If your pet occasionally makes a mess on the carpet, look for models that are designed to recognize and avoid poop.

The newest model, the Combo 10 Max, is the best Roomba for pet hair as it ties for the Top 3 Automatic Vacuum Cleaners highest suction power of the current Roomba line, plus it can clean its own mop.

The S8 Max Ultra is a very solid all-rounder, and only lost its place in our ranking because Roborock came out with some even better models very shortly afterwards.
