The 10 Most Scariest Things About Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

A good combination bot should have impressive navigation and obstacle 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 for its low cost, and it's one of the easiest 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 and complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops are spun at high speed and use 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

You can, for example ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models can't. Its only drawback is that it can hit objects and walls at full speed. However, a quick glance at the cleaning history in the app tells you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that indicates the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro best automatic vacuum and mop and mop come with plenty of running time, with the mop able to operate for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in normal mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is simple to use and intuitive, allowing you to look at all the details of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's most popular robot vacuum and mop. In contrast to the model of last year this one has an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has an improved suction capacity, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners might be unable to pick up.

Like the two other Roborock models I've tested it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that helps it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by adding a dual camera which can detect objects and determine whether they're an object that is a wall or a different surface. It can then automatically change its path and clean the objects without a pause.

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

The only downside I've discovered with this model was that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) but it's a challenge to remove the mount itself for manual washing. I've observed that any soft carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number intelligent features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can configure and manage these via the Roborock app, which is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and track the battery's life. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is a pity considering how well it performs otherwise.

It also allows the best robot cleaner to get under low-profile furniture making it an ideal option for smaller apartments and condos with tight spaces. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that enables the X40 to prevent damage to floors from excessive back-and forth movements.

Unlike other robots, which are limited to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum simultaneously.

It also can detect the moment when the mop pad has reached its capacity to the max and alert you to the situation prior to it bursting.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available on the market. It has several features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, a new feature on its mop heads, makes use of two mop heads that are high-speed to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a suction force of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, small dirt particles and remove spills and dirty spots.

The mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after every use. This is a great feature because it stops mould and unpleasant odours from building up in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a system has yet to be seen on other robot vacuum and mop models and could be a great method to keep your home cleaner for longer.

There are plenty of options, including the ability to schedule cleanings and adjust preferences. The app allows you to make these settings or use the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options for customising the cleaning process, and there are a lot of functions that other robots don't have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles instead of using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a white-and-metallic finish that looks sophisticated and classy. It's heavier than the other two-in-one robots on this list - at 4kg however it's not overly heavy, and feels sturdy and well-built. Mopping is also well-designed, and the double rotating mops work well on hard floors and in corners. They can also extend up to 2mm of baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature which is a nice addition.
