It comes with more advanced features than previous models, but the main attraction is its capacity to effectively clean your home for you. It can identify floors, no-go zones, stubborn stains, pet bowls and much more. It does this by analyzing its surroundings with an image sensor and a map. This helps it to figure out what it should do and when to do it so that you don't have to constantly push a button or set different modes.

Like all Roborock vacuums, this one can also mop. This is an excellent addition to the Roborock collection because it makes the robovac even more efficient. The mop head is efficient too and can be changed to a scrub mode to clean harder dirt. The robovac is also able to reach small thresholds thanks to its rotating FlexiArm and front-mounted sensor.

3. Eufy X10

The Eufy X10 offers a wide range of features at an affordable cost. It can perform everything you'd want an automated mop and vacuum to do at a reasonable price.

This model is able to handle cleaning chores on the floor without assistance, including sweeping, mopping and dusting. The base station needs a bit more space than other models, needing 50cm either side and a total of 150cm in the front.

It's a great robot vacuum and mop, but it's let down by the jargon-filled application. Eufy Clean's app isn't as easy to use as the iRobot App which walks you through the process of setting up your robot up and shows you how to use it. It's a great option for those who want to customize it.

5. K10 Plus

The K10 Plus is an upgrade from the popular Mini robot vacuum. This latest version is a combination of the latest Anti-Tangle Rubber brush with an Advanced Position Sensitive Detector sensor (PSD) and a higher 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 the rotary brush to move around furniture. The four-stage cleaning system combines sweeps, lifts, and vacuums up debris from carpets and floors. The dustbin will empty itself, which means there's no need to empty it frequently.

The app can also be used to mark off areas of the space which you want the device to avoid such as pet toys or power cords. This feature is commonly found in robotic vacuums. It's helpful when certain areas of your house require more attention.

You can set the K10 Plus to return to its base station every 60, 75 or 90 minutes to automatically empty its dust bin. This is a significant improvement over many other robots that have to be returned frequently and manually empty to save time.
