3. Eufy X10
If you're looking for a top-quality all-rounder, the Eufy X10 is hard to beat. It can do everything you ask a robot vacuum and mop to do, and all at a reasonable price point.
This model is capable of handling cleaning chores on the floor without assistance, including mopping, sweeping and dusting. Its base station is a smaller than its competitors and requires 50cm of space either side plus 150cm in front but for those with enough space, it can provide a completely hands-free clean.
The intelligent navigation technology of the X10 is able detect the layout and style of your home. It stores the data in its internal memory, without ever sending it to the cloud.

The X10's smart object recognition system works well, allowing the robot to easily recognize and avoid hazards such as power cords.

Overall it's a top quality robo vacuum and mop that's let down by a somewhat confusing application. Eufy Clean's app isn't as user-friendly as the iRobot App that guides you through the process of setting your robot up and teaches you how to use. It's still a great choice however, and provides plenty of customizability for those looking to make the most of its capabilities.
