Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

A good combination bot must be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads from the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer at a low cost and is one of the most simple robots we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and is a great vacuum cleaner too. 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 variety of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly application that lets you pick the exact kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can ask the robot to clean the kitchen and 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 detect small obstacles that other models cannot. The only issue it has is that it can hit objects and walls at a high speed, but a quick glance at the history of cleaning in the app tells you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading, and which obstacles it's avoided.

The docking station comes with a handy LCD screen that indicates the need for maintenance like emptying the debris and washing the water tank that is dirty. It also mixes detergent into the water tank in a controlled manner by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time as well, with the mop being capable of operating for 184 minutes in Quiet mode and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in normal mode before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can view the full cleaning details in the app, which is well laid out and easy to understand, though we would have liked to be able to distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's flagship robot vacuum and mop, is the most recent version. It's not like the model from last year this one has an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities.

The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes two cameras that can recognize objects, determining whether they are walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its path automatically and clean them, without missing a step.

The power button, which also restarts the cleaning process, a mop button that doubles as a child lock and a home button to bring the robot cleaner with mop to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin auto-refills.

The only drawback I could find with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) but it's a challenge to take off the mount itself to wash it manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot mop touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of intelligent features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these advanced 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.
