1. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner doesn't disappoint. It is equipped with more advanced features, but its primary benefit is the fact that it will intelligently clean your home.

It can mop like it does all Roborock vacuums. This is a great addition to the range since it makes this robovac more efficient than before. The mop head is extremely efficient too and can be switched to a scrubbing mode for cleaning tougher dirt. Another advantage is that the robovac is able to overcome small thresholds of step due to its front-mounted sensor and rotating FlexiArm.

3. Eufy X10
The Eufy X10 offers a wide array of features at an affordable cost. It does everything you could have a robot vacuum or mop to accomplish, and all at a reasonable cost.
This model does an excellent job of handling floor cleaning tasks hands-free from mopping to sweeping and even dusting. The base station needs slightly more space than other models, with 50cm either side and a total of 150cm in the front.
The smart navigation technology of the X10 is able to monitor 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 store room layouts using iPath and AI See. It can also optimize cleaning routes to be efficient and thorough.
The X10 smart object recognition system is also very efficient, allowing it detect and avoid dangers such as power cords. It can be programmed to clean and recharge the battery on its own, which is an excellent touch. The X10 is stuck on more thick carpets. It crashes over them and pushes its front brush into the rug.
This is a fantastic robo-vacuum and mop however, it's let down by the jargon-filled application. Eufy Clean's app is not as user-friendly as the iRobot App which walks you through the process of setting up your robot up and shows users how to use. It's still a great option, though, and offers the possibility of customization for those that want to get the most of its features.
4. SwitchBot S10
The SwitchBot S10 is a full-fledged mop and vacuum cleaner that gives the best of both worlds to home cleaning. It has a unique two-station design structure that allows it to provide water for mopping and also collect dust in the same machine, which results in a complete automated cleaning.

The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's popular Mini robot vacuum. This latest version combines an anti-tangle rubber brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor, and upgraded suction power reaching up to 3000Pa to offer better corner coverage and overall cleanliness.
Utilizing SLAM navigation and an intuitive application, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor works in tandem with the rotary brush to move around furniture. The four-stage cleaning process is a consolidated method that collects, lifts and sweeps debris from floors and carpets. The dust bin will empty itself, so there's no need to empty it frequently.
You can also mark areas in the room you don't want the device to enter, such as pets or power cords. This is a feature typical of robotic vacuums. It's helpful when certain areas of your house require more attention.
You can set the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes in order to empty its trash bin. This is a significant improvement over many other robots that need to be returned frequently and manually emptied to save time.
