The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinctive features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.
Another issue that could be a problem is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
