The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops spin at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly app that lets you select the kind of cleaning robot mop and vacuum you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you could choose to have the robot take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen areas but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are superb as the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only issue it has is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed - but a quick glance at the cleaning history within the app will show you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading, and which obstacles it's run into or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs must be completed, such as emptying the debris tray, and washing the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.
