Robots that best automatic vacuum and mop and clean provide the convenience of cleaning dry and wet messes in one go, without having to switch between devices. They can also help save space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacles 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 has plenty to offer at a modest price, and it's one of the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start guide gets you up and running in no time with the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. The mops spin at high speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a selection of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly app that lets you choose the kind of cleaning robot mop and vacuum you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can request the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are superb and the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only problem is that the robot tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning on the app will show you exactly what the robot completed, where it's moving, and what obstacles it has encountered or robot vacuums best avoided.

The docking station comes with a handy LCD screen that shows when maintenance is needed like emptying the debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent into the water tank automatically, using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can operate for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, prior to having to recharge or returning to the base. You can view the complete cleaning details within the app, which is well laid out and easy to understand, though we would have liked to be able distinguish between a vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and best robot Vacuum that Mops mop. This year's model has an agitator that doubles as its mopping pad. This improves the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power that allows it to remove smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

The Roborock model, like the other two I tried is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates two cameras that can recognize objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its course automatically and clean around the objects without missing a step.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular style is striking and has only three physical buttons which include the power button which also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock; and a home button to return the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount to wash it manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which can cause scratches.

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

The robot is also able to reach under furniture with low profile, making it an excellent option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it spots wet spots. This is a nice feature that enables the X40 to prevent damage to floors from excessive back-and forth movements.
