robots that vacuum and mop [wikimapia.Org]

Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one go without the need to switch devices. They can also help save space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start manual gets you up and running in no time. It comes with an entire dust bag, water tank and a hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. Its mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a range of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.

You can, for example ask the robot cleaner 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 can detect small obstacles that other models are unable to. Its only issue is that it tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However, a quick look at the cleaning history on the app will reveal exactly what the robot accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station features an LCD display that indicates the need for maintenance like emptying the debris and rinsing the dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing 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 running time. The mop can operate for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, prior to needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is easy to use and intuitive that lets you look at every aspect of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop, is the newest version. Unlike last year's model it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that enables it to remove finer hairs and other debris other robotic hoovers cleaners could miss.

This Roborock model, just like the other two models I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it avoid obstacles such as walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating two cameras that can recognize objects, and determine if they are walls or other surfaces. It then can automatically alter its direction and clean them without missing a beat.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also loaded with features. Its sleek and angular design is striking and comes with three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles up as a child-lock, and a home-button to bring the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin fills up automatically.

The only issue I encountered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth if needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for washing manually. I've found that any plush carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, which can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app lets you schedule cleanings and monitor the battery's lifespan. But you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control on this model which is a pity considering how well it performs otherwise.

This is a nice touch that helps the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

These settings can be adjusted via the app or direct buttons on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options to customize the cleaning routine.
