Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one time without the need to switch between devices. They also can save space in comparison to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models with docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and the quick-start guide will get you up and running with a clean, complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in no time.
The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. The mops spin at high speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a selection of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly app that lets you pick the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.
You could, for instance, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models are unable to. The only drawback is that the robot tends to hit walls and objects at a high speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what the robot has accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.
A convenient LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance tasks must be completed like emptying the debris tray and washing the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank using a 600ml bottle of Eufy's own solution.
Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop is able to run for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last for 136 minutes in normal mode, prior to needing to recharge or returning back to the base. The app is easy to use and intuitive that lets you see all the details of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and mop. The model this year has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to remove fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners may miss.
As with the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes two cameras that can recognize objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its path automatically and clean the objects without missing a step.
It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek and angular design is striking, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which restarts the cleaning mop button, which doubles as a child-lock and a home button to take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin auto vacuum and mop-filling.
The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if necessary) however, it's a hassle to remove the mount to wash manually. I've observed that any carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mounts, which can cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of clever features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, track the battery life and maintain your components. But you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to allow voice control with this model which is a pity considering the performance of this model.
3. Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a market leader with innovative features, superior suction power and cutting-edge mopping capabilities. Its intelligent design allows for customised and efficient cleaning while also saving time.
The X40 is the first robotic vacuum cleaner that can deliver 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which makes it one of the best alternatives available. This powerful vacuum cleans up dry mess, including pet hair and crumbs. It comes with a mop that is excellent quality that can clean hard floors without the use of pads. Additionally the X40 is extremely quiet during operation, only producing occasional squeaks of sound when switching between modes or when completing self-maintenance tasks.
The X40 also has a side brush that is able to be extended and lifted. This lets it reach into corners that are hard to reach and clean curved furniture like chairs and table legs. It also lets the robot to reach under furniture with a low profile making it an ideal choice for small apartments and condos with limited space. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that allows the X40 to avoid damaging floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.
In contrast to other robots that are limited to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum simultaneously. It can also be programmed to avoid areas with carpet and mop only hard floors, and reverse the process. It can be controlled via the Dreame app or via Alexa, Siri, and Google Home to ensure a smooth voice-controlled operation.
The app is user-friendly and easy to use and the X40's intelligent features are easy to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at certain times. They can also adjust suction power, change modes, view maps and floor plans, and manage mopping setting. The X40 can also monitor its progress and inform you when it's finished.
The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with many features that make it a great option for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the dustbin into a huge 3.2 L bin, cleans the mop pads, and refills them with fresh water and cleaning solution. It can also detect whether the mop pad has reached its maximum capacity and notify you of the situation before it overflows.
4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has many features that make it stand out. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. It uses two high-speed mops to scrub floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has an impressive suction power of 7,000Pa. This is much higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can vacuum up pet hair and smaller dirt particles - in addition to removing spills and wet spots.
The mop is cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used. This is a fantastic feature since it prevents the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in the storage area, and it also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a system we've yet to see on other robot vacuum and mop models and could be a useful method to keep your home cleaner for longer.
There's a wealth of settings on offer which include the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust a variety of preferences. The app allows you to make these settings or you can use the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has many options for customizing your cleaning routine. It also has several features that aren't offered on other robots, for instance the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction whenever it detects dust particles.
The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen in the market, sporting a white and metallic design that is elegant and stylish. It's a bit heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots on this listing, but it's still not excessively heavy. It is solid and well-built. Mopping is well-designed and the double-rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. They can also extend up to 2mm baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice touch.
