Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt) and wet messes (spills or stains) in one go without having to swap out devices. They also can save space compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will provide excellent navigation and obstacle 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 simple and the quick-start manual gets you up and running in no time with a full dust bag, water tank, and hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can cleans up a mess and vacuums well too. The mops are spun at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a variety of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you choose the type of cleaning you want for each room.

For instance, you could opt for the robot to do a deep clean in the kitchen and living rooms but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are excellent too as the robot hoover and mop is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. Its only issue is that it is known to smash into walls and objects at full speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning on the app will reveal precisely what the robot vacuum reviews has done, where it is moving, and what obstacles it has encountered or avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance tasks must be completed including emptying the debris tray and rinsing its dirty water tank. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, with 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 minutes in Quiet Mode and the vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is simple 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 top robot vacuums uk best automatic vacuum and mop and mop. The model of this year features a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This enhances the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power that allows it to pull up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tried, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by having a dual camera that can recognize objects and determine whether they're a wall or another surface. It can then change its direction automatically and clean around the objects without stumbling.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also packed with features. Its sleek, angular style is eye-catching and it only has three physical buttons which include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop-only button that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can send the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml of water tank. The water tank will empty itself, and the bin is auto-filling.

The only negative I discovered with this model was that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's not easy to remove the mount for washing manually. I've found that any plush carpet the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and that can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can set up and manage these through the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor battery life. You'll need to jump through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering the performance otherwise.

It can also get under low-profile furnishings which makes it an ideal option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that assists the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.
