robots that vacuum And mop (http://banner.ntop.tv)

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

A good robot vacuum combination bot will be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, fill 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 is easy and the quick-start guide can get you running in no time. It comes with the complete dust bag, water tank and a hard floor.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that mops up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, Robots That Vacuum and Mop a range of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly app that lets you choose the exact kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can opt for the robot to take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models cannot. The only drawback is that it tends to crash into objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of the cleaning history on the app will reveal exactly what the robot done, where it is moving, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station has a handy LCD screen that shows the need for maintenance for cleaning up debris and rinsing the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, by using a 600ml bottle filled with Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop can run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in standard mode, before needing to recharge or returning back to the base. You can view the full cleaning details in the app, which is well laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would have liked to be able distinguish between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular robot mop and vacuum. Unlike last year's model, this one features an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pull up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners may be unable to pick up.

This Roborock model, like the other two I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it get around obstacles like walls, furniture and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they're an object that is a wall or a different surface. It then can alter its path automatically and clean around the objects without missing a step.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed however, it's also the most packed with features. Its sleek, angular design is striking and comes with three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning process mop button, which doubles as a child-lock, and a home-button to take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank self-empties, and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only drawback I could find to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount for washing manually. I've found that any plush carpet that the robot passes will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, and could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of smart features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can set up and manage these through the Roborock app that is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, monitor the life of batteries and maintenance on components. You'll have to go through a few steps to enable voice control on this model. This is a shame considering the performance otherwise.

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a market leader with innovative features, superior suction power and advanced mopping capabilities. Its smart design allows you to customize and efficiently clean while saving time.

It can also get under low-profile furnishings which makes it a great choice for small apartments or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that enables the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through repeated back-and-forth movements.

Unlike some other robots that solely focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or individually. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors and skip carpeted areas, and reverse the process.

The docking station automatically empty the dustbin into a large 3.2 L bin, cleans mop pads and refills them with fresh water and cleaning solution. It also can detect if the mop pad is at its maximum capacity and alert you to the situation prior to it bursting.

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that is among the most expensive on the market and comes with many additional features that make it stand out. Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub.

This is higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, small dirt particles, and clean up spills and dirty spots.

The mops are also dried and cleaned inside the base station after each use. This is a great feature as it stops the growth of odours and mould in the storage area, and it also makes mop systems more efficient. This is a system we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuum and mop models, and it could be a useful method of keeping your home cleaner for longer.

There are many options, including the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. These can be set via the app, or via buttons that can be found on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and provides a number of options to customize your cleaning routine. It also comes with a number of features that aren't offered on other robots, like the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction whenever it detects dust particles.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design that has a white-and-metallic look that looks sophisticated and classy. It's a bit heavier than the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at around 4kg but it's not too heavy either, and it feels robust 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 allows them to extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
