Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of removing dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills or stains) in one session without the need to change devices. They can also reduce space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

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

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its affordable price, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start manual will have you running in no time. You'll have a the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor Robot Vacuum Cleaner solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that cleans up a mess and is a great automatic vacuum cleaner cleaner too. The mops are spun at high speed and use 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly application that lets you select the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you could decide to let the robot clean up the living and kitchen areas but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb and the robot is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only issue is that the robot 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 has accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with a handy LCD screen that shows the need for maintenance, such as emptying debris and cleaning the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent into the tank automatically by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time, with the mop capable of running for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can view the complete cleaning details within the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend, though we would have liked to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a clean area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's most popular robot vacuum and mop, is the newest version. In contrast to the model of last year, this one features a double agitator in its mopping pad, which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power that allows it to pull up smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners could miss.

This Roborock model, like the other two I tested it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it avoid obstacles such as furniture, walls, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates two cameras that can recognize objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It will then automatically alter its direction and clean the objects without a pause.

It's the most expensive model I've tested however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular style is attractive and it has only three physical buttons which include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock and a home button to return the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find the 350ml dust bin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin fills up automatically.

The only downside I've found with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to take the mount off for manual washing. I've found that any plush carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which could cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features which include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life and component maintenance. But you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to enable voice control on this model which is a pity considering the quality of its performance.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot auto vacuum and mop and mop with outstanding suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its intelligent design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while saving you time.

The X40 robot mop vacuum cleaner (https://securityholes.science/wiki/How_Do_You_Know_If_Youre_Prepared_For_Robot_Hoover_And_Mop) is the first to offer 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is one of the most powerful choices available. This powerful vacuum can clean up dry debris, including pet hair and food particles. It comes with a mop that is top quality that cleans hard floors without the need for pads. The X40 is also very quiet while in use, with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.

Another standout feature is the X40's expandable and liftable side brushes, which lets it get into difficult-to-access corners as well as clean furniture, such as tables and chair legs. It also lets the robot vacuum cleaners best to reach under furniture with a low profile, making it a great choice for small apartments and condominiums with small spaces. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a great feature that enables the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through repeated back-and-forth movements.

In contrast to other robots that are restricted to a single task, the X40 can vacuum and mop at the same time. It can also be programmed to eliminate areas with carpet and mop only hard floors, and reverse the process. It can be controlled through the Dreame app or by using Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for smooth voice-controlled operation.

The app is simple and easy to use, and the X40's smart features are a breeze to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, alter suction power and mode, look at floor plans and maps, and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also monitor its progress and notify you when it's done.

The X40 is easy to keep clean and has numerous features which make it a good choice for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the dustbin and wash the mop pads, then refill them with fresh cleaning solution and water. It will also tell you if the mop pad has reached its maximum capacity and notify you of the situation before it overflows.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available on the market. It has many characteristics that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, a new feature in its mops, uses two mop heads with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is much higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can clean pet hair and small dirt particles as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station every time they are used. This is a great feature since it prevents the build-up of odours and mould in storage, and it also makes the mop system a lot more efficient. It's a system that we've yet to see on other robot vacuum and mop models and it could be a great way of keeping your home hygienic for longer.

There's an impressive amount of options available, including the ability to schedule cleaning times and alter a variety of preferences. They can be set through the app or direct buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and offers a variety of options for customising your cleaning routine. It also offers many functions that are not available on other robots, like the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects any dust particles.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen in the market, sporting a white and metallic design that looks classy and sophisticated. It's a little heavier than some of the other two-in-one robots on this list, at 4kg - but it's not obscenely heavy, and it feels sturdy and well-built. Mopping is well-designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
