2024 has been a rough year. It might be nice to go into the new year with a robot that can take some housework off your plate. Unfortunately, there’s no telling when or if Elon Musk’s all-purpose Tesla robots will ever be ready, but in the meantime, a robot vacuum can be a great starter.

Dustbin capacity: Unknown Self-empty dock option: Yes Auto-refill mop option: Yes / Mop-lift: Yes, 12mm / Mop washing: Yes, hot air drying / Mapping: Yes, lidar AI-powered obstacle avoidance: Yes / Suction power: 8,000Pa / Remote check-in: No / Keep-out zones: Yes, virtual Brush style: single rubber / bristle hybrid Works with: Amazon Alexa, Google Home

The X10 Pro Omni can suck up loose dirt and debris with the best of them thanks to its 8,000pa section, although its rubbery brushes aren’t quite as good for pet hair as we’d like. Unlike many others in this price range, it has effective lidar-powered room mapping and AI object avoidance. And not many can match its mopping prowess. It has dual oscillating brushes and enough pressure to wash up dried stains, not to mention a squared shape that makes it a bit better for baseboard mopping than most circular models. The auto-lifting brushes don’t completely clear standard carpeting, we’ve found, but it’s a nice trick.

You can manage the X10 Pro Omni using the Eufy Clean app, which lets you easily set up schedules and no clean zones. It’ll also empty itself, dry and clean its own pads, and refill itself at the included base — all helpful to limit how much daily babysitting it needs. There’s even a Smart Track feature that lets you redirect the robot to a spot it’s missed by nudging it with your foot and walking over to the spot that needs more cleaning.
