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

A good combination bot will provide excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models with docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively affordable price, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, complete dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that mops up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a variety of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room.

For example, you can decide to let the robot clean up the living and kitchen 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 cannot. Its only issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning in the app will reveal exactly what the robot done, where it is going, and which obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that shows when maintenance is needed like emptying the debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It is also able to mix detergent into the tank by itself, using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop can operate for 184 minutes 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 complete cleaning details within the app, which is clearly laid out and is easy to comprehend, though we would have liked to be able distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at 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 top robot vacuum with mop mop and vacuum. It's not like the model from last year, this one features two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that enables it to pull up smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaner and mop cleaners may miss.

The Roborock model, like the other two models I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by having a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they're a wall or another type of surface. It will then automatically alter its path and clean them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular design is eye-catching and it only has three physical buttons which include the power button which also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock and a home button to send the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin fills up automatically.

The only issue I have found with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) however, it's a hassle to take off the mount for manual washing. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which could cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can manage and set up these using the Roborock app which is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, track battery life and component maintenance. You'll need to jump through a few steps to enable voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

It also lets the robot to reach under furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for apartments or condos with tight spaces. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that enables the X40 to prevent damage to floors from repeated back-and-forth movements.

In contrast to other robots that are limited to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum at the same time.

The mops come with a brand new feature called Smart DuoScrub that uses two high-speed mops to scrub floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and it comes with a high maximum suction power of 7,000Pa. This is much higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can remove pet hair and smaller dirt particles as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

The mop mops are cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used.

The app allows you to define these preferences, or you can utilize the buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and offers a variety of options for customising your cleaning routine.
