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

A good combination bot must be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and machine-wash their mopping pads with a dedicated dock.

The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a range of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app that lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.

For instance, you could decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are also excellent, with the robot being capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only issue it has is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but a quick glance at the cleaning history in the app will tell you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and what obstacles it's run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that shows the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It is also able to mix detergent into the tank in a controlled manner with a 600ml of eufy solution.

The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank will empty itself and the bin auto-refilling.

The only drawback I could find to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. You can replace the mopping cloth if needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for manual washing. I've found any plush carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mount, which can cause scratches.

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 lets you schedule cleanings and track the battery's life.
