Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads using an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you running with a clean, complete dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that is able to clean up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at fast speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you choose the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For example, you can choose to have the robot vacuum cleaners reviews clean up the living and kitchen but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models are unable to. The only issue it has is that it can crash into walls and objects at full speed. However, an instant glance at the cleaning history within the app will show you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading, and which obstacles it's avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance jobs must be completed, such as emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It is also able to mix detergent into the water tank in a controlled manner with a 600ml of eufy solution.

In contrast to the model of last year it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that allows it to remove smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners could miss.

As with the other two Roborock models I've tested, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating dual cameras that can detect objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its course automatically and clean the objects, without missing a step.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek, angular design is striking and only has three physical buttons that include the power button which can also restart cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock; and a home button that can return the robot vacuums that mop to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin automatically refills.

The only issue I have found with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's not easy to take the mount off for washing manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mount, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these features.
