Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry and wet messes in one session and without the need to switch between 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 with docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that is able to clean up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops spin at high speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, as well as a selection of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app that lets you choose the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For example, you can choose to have the robot vacuum cleaner reviews clean up the living and kitchen but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb, with the robot being capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only issue is that it tends to crash into objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of the cleaning history on the app will show you exactly what the robot has done, where it is moving, and what obstacles it has encountered or 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 can also mix detergent into the tank in a controlled manner, using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time as well, with the mop being capable of operating for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, while the vacuum is can last for 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can also view the complete cleaning details within the app, which is clearly laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would like to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or a best automatic vacuum and mop/mop clean when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's flagship robot mop and vacuum. In contrast to the model of last year it comes with an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity which allows it to pick up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

Like the two other Roborock models I've tried the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating two cameras that can recognize objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its path and clean around them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested and it comes with the most features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop button, which doubles as a child-lock and a home-button that can send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin automatically refills.

The only negative I discovered with this model was that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. You can change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, and could 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 set up these smart features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery life and maintain your components. You'll have to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a leader in the industry with its innovative features, top suction power, and advanced mopping capabilities. Its innovative design allows for customised and efficient cleaning while also saving time.

The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first one to provide 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is among the most powerful alternatives available. This powerful vacuum removes dry debris, including pet hair and dust. It also comes with a top-quality mop that makes hard floors sparkling clean, even with a wet pad. The X40 is also extremely quiet while in use, with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.

Another standout feature is the X40's expandable and liftable side brush, which lets it get into difficult-to-access corners as well as clean furniture such as table and chair legs. It also lets the robot to access furniture that is low-profile, making it a great option for apartments or condos with tight spaces. The side brush automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots, which is a nice touch that helps the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike other robots, which are limited to a single task, the X40 can vacuum and mop at the same time. It can also be programmed to skip areas with carpets and mop only hard floors, and reverse the process. It can be controlled via the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.

The app is easy to use and understand The X40 has many smart features that are simple to install. Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It is also possible to alter suction power, switch modes, look at floor plans and maps, and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also track its progress and notify you when it's done.

The X40 is easy to keep clean and has numerous features that make it an excellent option for busy families. The docking station can automatically empty the dustbin and wash the mop pads, then refill them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It also can detect when the mop pad is full and notify you when it overflows, reducing the need for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that's one of the most expensive models available, but it packs in many extra features that make it stand out. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub that makes use of two mops with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and robots that vacuum and mop has an impressive suction power of 7,000Pa. This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also vacuum up pet hair, dirt particles and remove spills and soiled spots.

The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station every time they are used. This is a fantastic feature because it prevents the growth of odours and mould in storage, and also makes mop systems more efficient. This is a system we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuums and mop models, and it could be a useful method to keep your home clean for longer.

There are many options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. These can be set via the app or buttons on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and provides a variety of options to customize the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are numerous functions that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles, rather than using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a white-and-metallic finish that looks elegant and elegant. It's a bit heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at 4kg but it's not too heavy, and it feels robust and well built. The mopping system is well-designed, and the double rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
