Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one session without the need to switch between devices. They can also help save space compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin and refill their water tank, and wash their mopping pads using a dedicated dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively low cost and is among the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time. It comes with a full 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. Its mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The autonomous vacuum comes with four power modes, a range of attachments and brushes, and a user-friendly application that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can, ask the robot vacuum cleaner uk to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and its smart navigation technology are also excellent and the robot is able to detect 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 history of cleaning on the app will tell you exactly what the robot has completed, where it's going, and which obstacles it has encountered or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs must be completed like emptying the debris tray and cleaning the dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long running time. The mop can run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The automatic vacuum and mop can run for 136 minutes in standard mode, before needing to recharge or returning back to the base.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop, is the most recent version. Unlike last year's model, this one features two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pick up fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners might overlook.

The Roborock model, just like the other two I tested it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it get around obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its path and clean around them without missing a beat.

It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular style is striking and has just three physical buttons: the power button, which can also restart cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock; and a home button to return the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying, and the bin is auto-filling.

The only downside I've discovered with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off for washing manually. I've observed that any carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features which include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these smart features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to plan cleanings and monitor battery life. You'll have to go through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how well-performing it is otherwise.
