8. yeedi cube
ECOVACS and yeedi join forces to bring you the cube. This robot cleaner features all three of self-emptying, self-washing, and self-drying.
Cleaning details
The base has a short L-shaped tunnel design to collect 99% of dust within a mere 10 seconds while reducing noise. The base can hold up to two months of dirt without your interference.
This robot cleaner uses sonic mopping technology, so it performs 2,500 vibrations a minute. When a carpet is encountered, the mop is lifted to avoid it. Then, the suction is boosted. When transitioning between carpets and floors, thresholds can be climbed.
The robot cleaner can clean hard floors, including tile and marble. With dual edge brushes, there is more effective vacuuming of debris, dirt, and dust, even in harder-to-reach corners. After a mopping session, the dirty mops are cleaned and dried to avoid smelling.
Movement style
The robot cleaner utilizes vSLAM. If the robot cleaner is ever stuck, visual and laser fusion navigation get the robot unstuck.

6. ILIFE T10S
The ILIFE T10S is a robot vacuum-mop combo that also self-empties after 60 days of dirt accumulation. It has LDS radar navigation to scan your home and create a map of your rooms quickly, so you can select specific rooms to clean at certain times while blocking out certain zones. You can also tell the T10S to intensify cleaning in a certain place, which is further supplemented by the SLAM algorithm that optimizes the T10S’ efficiency.
Super mapping
This is a LiDAR robot vacuum-mop too, meaning superior mapping & navigation even when in the dark, avoiding obstacles and such. It is good at reaching far corners too. Back to mapping, you can generate up to five maps with the T10S.
Cleaning ability
The T10S is here to clean the likes of dust, dirt, debris, and pet hair on your floors & carpets, including medium-pile carpets. You can have the T10S vacuum, mop, or vacuum-mop together.
Three water volume levels are available to select from. As for the suction level options, they include quiet, standard, strong, and max.
When the battery is low, the T10s redocks in order to recharge. This usually happens after more than 2,000 square feet of cleaning. After recharging, the T10S resumes cleaning from where it stopped.
Thresholds can be climbed, such as when transitioning from floor to carpet. Suction is automatically boosted when on carpets. The T10S is quieter than average due to its low suction noise in addition to its rubber wheels.
This robot cleaner moves in zigzag patterns when vacuuming and takes a Y-shaped path when mopping. The T10S’ mopping is above average, and it can shine your floors. This bot can go under furniture if needed due to its low height.

2. ECOVACS DEEBOT X2 OMNI
The DEEBOT X2 OMNI is a sequel to the X1 OMNI, and perhaps the most noticeable difference is that this robot vacuum has a bit of a D-shape, which is good for shimmying alongside walls.
How it vacuums
The X2 OMNI is a self-emptying robot vacuum that can hold up to three months of dust. It also mops, and its water tank is refilled to mop up to 4,300 square feet. After each use, hot air dries the mops to prevent odors.
The four cleaning modes are vacuum only, mop only, vacuum & mop, and vacuum first before mopping. There is also a washable filter.
With impressively high suction, the X2 OMNI has a main brush that is made of rubber to reduce hair tangling. Hair, dust, and crumbs can be picked up from hard floors or carpets. If you have pets at home, the X2 OMNI can help you out.
How it mops
When a carpet is detected during mopping, the mops of the X2 OMNI rise so your carpets are not mopped. When vacuuming, suction is boosted on carpets.
You see, the OZMO Turbo 2.0 Rotating Mopping System is meant to mop floors like a human. Two mops are used, and the performance is good.
Spatial awareness
Through AIVI 3D 2.0 Obstacle Avoidance that is AI-controlled, the X2 OMNI strives to dodge as many obstacles as possible, including walking people and moving pets. The bot can navigate around in the dark as well.
The X2 OMNI has LiDAR, and its LiDAR is allegedly the first dual-laser type in the industry. Objects can be detected from up to 10 meters. The X2 OMNI can glide under furniture if need be. Moreover, detailed 3D maps are generated.
Voice & app control
The YIKO 2.0 voice assistant of the X2 OMNI allows you to schedule cleaning. Furthermore, you can monitor your home by way of the camera on the X2 OMNI, and you can even have two-way calls with whomever is home.

1. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is an all-encompassing solution to clean your home. It vacuums, mops, and self-empties as well. It dries its mop to prevent mold and mildew from developing. As for the self-emptying of the dirt, that happens due to the large dust bag that allows up to a whopping seven weeks of accumulation. Even the RockDock Ultra cleans itself, refilling the water tank for you to extend the mopping range to more than 3,000 square feet.
Different modes
The self-emptying modes include:
- Light
- Balanced
- Smart
- Max
The washing modes include light, balanced, and max with drying modes that include two, three, or four hours.
Brush system
Thanks to Roborock’s new dual rubber brush system, cleaning happens to a higher extent in only one go, and hair tangling happens less often. The likes of hair, dust, and debris are picked up while moving seamlessly between floors and carpets despite thresholds between them.
Mopping system
The VibraRise 2.0 Mopping System is here to upgrade the vibration module from one area to two areas (through two vibration modules) in order to guarantee a wider dual sonic mopping zone with up to 3,000 times per minute of high speed scrubbing. Furthermore, there is consistent mopping pressure so that stains are cleaned for sure.
Hybrid system
In order to separate vacuuming from mopping, the DuoRoller Riser brushes will lift whenever needed, and the mop will be lifted on carpets when needed too, operating alongside the Roborock Carpet Boost+ System for enhanced carpet suction. For very high thresholds that are otherwise tough to climb, both the brushes and the mop can be lifted.
Navigational details
Reactive 3D Obstacle Avoidance technology involves 3D structured light and infrared image technology, which makes the S8 Pro Ultra intelligent enough in order to pick out unknown objects on your floors to then determine their location and size, enabling a smooth bypassing of them, even if it is dark. Add to that LiDAR navigation & detailed 3D Mapping 2.0, and you are good to go.
Control features
You can control the S8 Pro Ultra in different ways, such as through the user friendly Roborock App, letting you:
- Control the S8 Pro Ultra.
- Engage auto-emptying mode.
- Activate mop washing-and-drying mode.
- Adjust the suction.
- Adjust the water flow.
- Schedule a cleaning.
- Add furniture to the layout.
Up to four levels of your home can be identified. This Roborock robot cleaner can even suggest setting no-go zones where easy-to-get-stuck areas are located.
Another way to control the S8 Pro Ultra is by voice control, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Siri Shortcuts.
Battery details
The S8 Pro Ultra charges quite fast, meaning in four hours, which are allegedly 30% less than average. The runtime is a decent three hours in quiet mode, guaranteeing the cleaning of most homes. If you know your off-peak times, you can set them in order to charge and save on power, saving you from expensive electricity bills.
