robots that vacuum and mop (telegra.ph)

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

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bins, refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads from the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the easiest robots to install that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start manual will have you up and running in no time. You'll have a the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that cleans up a mess and also vacuums well. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly application that lets you select the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

You could, for instance, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom to itself. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are excellent too as the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only drawback is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of the cleaning history on the app will show you exactly what the robot has accomplished, where it's going, and which obstacles he has run into or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance tasks need to be done like emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank by using a 600ml bottle filled with Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or returning back 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 latest version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and mop. The model of this year features a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This increases the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity which allows it to pull up smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

Like the two other Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they are an object that is a wall or a different surface. It is able to change its path in a way that is automatic and clean around the objects without stumbling.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek angular design is striking and comes with three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles up as a child-lock, and a home-button to send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only issue I encountered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if it's required) but it's a challenge to remove the mount itself to wash it manually. I've noticed that any plush carpet that the robot passes will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, and that could cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of clever features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can manage and set up these through the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life. You'll need to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.

The robot cleaner can also reach under low-profile furnishings which makes it a great option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush also automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots, which is a nice touch that assists the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by excessive back-and-forth movements.

The L20 Ultra robot vacuums best is one of the most expensive models on the market. However, it has a number of characteristics that make it stand out. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub that utilizes two mops that are high-speed to clean floors more thoroughly than the standard method, and it has a high maximum suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also remove pet hair, dirt particles, and clean up spills and dirty spots.

The mop is also cleaned and dried inside the base station after every use. This is a great feature since it prevents the growth of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and it also makes the mop system a lot more efficient. It's a system that has yet to be seen on other robot vacuums and mop models and it could be a good method to keep your home clean for longer.

There are many options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. The app lets you set these preferences or you can make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options for robots that vacuum and mop customizing the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are many features that other robots do not include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles, rather than using a 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 either, and it feels sturdy and well-built. The mopping design is also excellent and the double-rotating mop is great for hard floors as well as in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
