Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner does not disappoint.

Like all Roborock vacuums, this one can also mop. This is a welcome addition to the range since it makes this robovac more efficient than it was before. The mop head can be changed into a scrub mode to clean harder dirt. Another advantage is that the robovac can reach small thresholds for steps thanks to its front-mounted sensor and a rotating FlexiArm.

- Eufy X10
The Eufy X10 offers a wide range of features at an affordable cost. It can do everything you'd expect to have a robot mop and vacuum to do at a reasonable price.
This model does an impressive job of taking on floor cleaning tasks hands-free, from sweeping to mopping and even dusting. The base station needs slightly more space than other models, requiring 50cm on either side and 150cm in front.
Its advanced navigation technology is able to determine the arrangement of your home, while storing and utilizing the data in its internal memory, without ever having to transfer it to the cloud or another external source. The X10 can remember the layout of rooms 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, allowing the robot to easily recognize and avoid hazards like power cords. It can be programmed to clean and recharge the battery on its own, which is an excellent feature. The X10 is unable to stay on larger carpets. It slams into them with a loud roar and then pushes its front brush into the rug.
This is a great robo-vacuum and mop however, it's let down by the confusing application. Eufy Clean's app isn't as easy to use as the iRobot App which walks you through the process of setting your robot up and shows you how to use. It's a great choice for those who want to customize it.
- SwitchBot S10
The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect choice for home cleaning. It combines a vacuum cleaner with mopping. It features an innovative two-station design structure that allows it to supply water for mopping and also take dust off in the same machine, which results in complete automation of the cleaning process.
It's equipped with all of the sensors that are found on top-of-the-line robotic vacuums. This lets it map your home in real time while making sure to avoid obstacles and recognize different types of carpets and flooring. A front-facing AI-capable camera included, making it easier to navigate around your home and find areas that are otherwise unaccessible for robotic vacuums in general.
This robotic powerhouse has an ultra-powerful suction motor that is capable of removing pet hair, dirt, and other messes from carpeting and hard floors. The app lets you modify the robot to meet your preferences. You can create custom cleaning routines and adjust vacuuming and mopping powers.
The mop performs admirably. It comes with a RevoRoll roller that applies 10N of force to any floor and it comes with a RinseSync cleaning system that automatically cleans when it moves through your home. The mop stays clean as it sifts through dirt, preventing it from spreading the mess around your home.
The battery life isn't as good as some of its competitors and might require a recharge halfway through in the event of a larger house. It is also extremely loud when in operation, so might not be a good choice to use in places where quiet is required. It is, however, an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 is a model that is unique in its class because of its sleek, modern design.
- K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's bestselling Mini robot vacuum. This latest version is a combination of a new Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD) and an increased suction power of up to 3000Pa for better corner coverage.
Utilizing SLAM navigation and a user-friendly app using SLAM navigation, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor works in tandem with the rotary brush to move around furniture. The four-stage process of cleaning consolidates, lifts and sweeps debris from floors and carpets. The dustbin will empty itself, so there's no need to empty it often.
The app also allows you to mark areas of the space that you want the device to avoid, such as pet toys or power cords. This is a common feature in all robotic vacuums and is useful if you have specific areas in the house that require more attention than others.
You can set the K10 Plus to return to its base station every 60 90, 75 or 60 minutes to automatically empty its dust bin. This is a major improvement over other robots that have to be returned and manually empty. It will help you save a lot of time.
In my tests I found that the K10 Plus had a very good battery life. It lasted 110 minutes on one run, which is more than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.
The K10 Plus has a fairly compact design, which makes it easy to put under furniture or tight spaces. It is connected via Wi-Fi and comes with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri shortcuts. It works with IFTTT Samsung SmartThings, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT.
