1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner does not leave you disappointed. It comes with more advanced features than previous models, but the real selling point is its ability to intelligently clean your home for you. It can identify the types of flooring and stains as well as areas that are not to be cleaned. It does this by using sensors and a smart map to analyze its surroundings. This allows it to figure out what it should do and when so that you don't have to press a button constantly or set multiple modes.

It has the ability to mop just like the other Roborock vacuums. This is an excellent addition to the Roborock line-up, as it makes the robovac even superior. The mop head is very efficient and can be switched to scrubbing mode for cleaning harder dirt. The robovac also has the ability to scale small thresholds using its rotating FlexiArm and front-mounted sensors.

The app is simple to use and lets you alter settings. You can also create rooms for the robot to clean. Rocky, the voice assistant, is a good fit and understands commands clearly. You can ask it to end a task or recite the exact list of commands. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and Matter-certified to work with Apple HomeKit.

The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with an energy-efficient battery of 5,200mAh and can last for up to 180 minutes before returning to the dock to recharge. The battery is automatically cleaned and emptied at the end of each run and this reduces the time it takes to charge.

1. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 Ultra is a powerful cleaning machine that works at the top of its class when it comes to mopping and vacuuming. This vacuum cleaner has powerful suction, a variety of innovative features, and is pet-friendly. It's a great option for busy families. Its advanced navigation, obstacles avoidance, and customizable options make it one of the top robot vacuum cleaners available on the market.

This robot vacuum makes use of an RGB camera to map its surroundings and detect obstacles with artificial intelligence. This prevents it from sucking up your cat's toy or a cable lying on the floor and ruining your floors. This feature lets you mark specific areas the robot should not clean.

Dreame X40 also excels in mows and sweeps, thanks to a unique dual brush system that gets rid of dirt from the corners of your home.

1. Eufy X10

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

This model does a fantastic job of taking on floor cleaning tasks hands-free from mopping to sweeping and even dusting. The base station is a little larger than some rivals and requires 50cm of space either side and 150cm front however for those with the room it's able to provide a completely hands-free clean.

The intelligent navigation technology of the X10 is able to monitor the layout and design of your home. It stores the data in its internal memory, without ever sending it to the cloud. Combining AI See with iPath laser mapping technology, the X10 can efficiently keep track of the layout of rooms and optimize cleaning routes for efficiency and effectiveness.

The X10 smart object recognition system is also very efficient, allowing it identify and avoid hazards such as power cords. It can be programmed to clean and recharge the battery on a regular basis which is a great feature. However, I found that the X10 may get stuck on some thicker rug, and then crash loudly over them and sometimes pushing its front brush into them.

This is a great robo-vacuum and mop however, it's let down by the jargon-filled app. Eufy Clean's application isn't as intuitive as the iRobot App, which guides you through the process of setting your robot up and teaches you how to use it. It's an excellent choice for those looking to customize it.

1. SwitchBot S10

The SwitchBot S10 is a full-fledged mop and vacuum cleaner, which brings the best of both worlds to home cleaning. It features a unique two-station design structure that allows it to supply mopping water and take dust off in the same machine, which results in complete cleaning automation.

It's fitted with the standard sensors that are found on top-of-the line robot vacuums, allowing it to create a map of your household in real-time, being able to avoid obstacles and recognize different types of carpets as well as hard floors. A front-facing AI camera is also included, making it easier for you to navigate around your home and locate places that are inaccessible to the majority of robotic vacuums.

This robotic powerhouse is equipped with a powerful suction motor capable of removing 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 specific needs, with specific cleaning routines, adjustments for vacuuming and mopping power and real-time notifications of its condition.

It mops exceptionally well and comes with the RevoRoll roller mop that creates 10N worth of pressure on any floor, and a RinseSync system that automatically cleans itself while it moves around your home. This keeps the mop clean as it picks up dirt, thus preventing it from spreading the mess throughout your home.

The battery life is not like some of its competitors. It may need a recharge halfway through if you have more space in your home. Additionally, it is quite loud during operation and may not be suitable in areas where quiet is the preferred choice. However, it is an excellent value for its price. The SwitchBot S10 is a model that is unique in its class due to its sleek, contemporary design.

1. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is a new version of Switchbot's Mini robot vacuum. The latest version comes with a new Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD) and an increased suction power to 3000Pa for superior corner coverage.

The K10 Plus uses SLAM navigation, a simple app and a thorough cleaning process. The PSD sensor works in tandem with an rotary brush that can be used to navigate through furniture. The four-stage process of cleaning consolidates cleans, lifts and sweeps debris from floors and carpets. The dust bin is self-emptying so you don't have to worry about it being emptying frequently.

The app also lets you to mark areas of the room that you would like the device to stay clear of such as pets or power cords. This is a feature that's found on most robotic vacuums, and is particularly useful when you have specific areas of 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 an improvement over other robots that must be returned frequently and manually empty to save time.

In my tests I found that the K10 Plus had a very excellent battery life. It lasted for 110 minutes in a single run. This is much more than iRobot Roomba Combo's time of 127 minutes.

The K10 Plus has a fairly compact design, making it easy to put under furniture or tight spaces. It is connected to Wi-Fi and supports Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri shortcuts. It works with IFTTT Samsung SmartThings, Samsung SmartThings as well as IFTTT.
