Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one time, without having to switch between devices. They can also reduce space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living areas.

A good combination bot must be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking is simple, and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time. It comes with the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that mops up a storm and is a great best automatic vacuum and mop cleaner too. The mops spin 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 has four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly application that lets you pick the kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For example, you can choose to have the robot clean up the kitchen and living rooms but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models can't. Its only issue is that the robot is known to smash into walls and objects at full speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning on the app will show you exactly what the robot done, where it is moving, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that indicates the need for maintenance, such as emptying debris and rinsing the water tank that is dirty. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank, using a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.

The only drawback I could find in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which can cause scratches.
