Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

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

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its modest price, and it's among the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and the quick-start guide will get you running with a clean, full dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that cleans up a mess and is a great best automatic vacuum and mop cleaner too. The mops spin at fast speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of pet hair, dirt and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a range of attachments and brushes, and a user-friendly application that lets you choose the exact kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can opt for the robot to clean up the living and kitchen areas but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation technology are also excellent as the robot vacuum is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only problem is that the robot tends to crash into objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what the robot done, where it is moving, and what obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance tasks need to be done like emptying the debris tray and washing the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can last 136 mins in normal mode, prior to needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is simple to use and intuitive that lets you see every aspect of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's top robot mop and vacuum. In contrast to the model of last year it comes with 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 particles that other robotic cleaners may overlook.

Like the two other Roborock models I've tested it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its path and clean them without missing a beat.

It's the most expensive model I've tested however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek angular design is striking, and it only has three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning process mop button, which doubles as a child lock and a home-button that can bring the robot cleaner to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank will empty itself, and the bin is auto vacuum and mop-filling.

The only downside I've discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount for manual washing. I've noticed that any plush carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and 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 lets you manage and configure these smart features. It also includes maps and robot vacuum advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, track the life of batteries and maintenance on components. You'll have to go through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop with incredible suction power, sophisticated mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its clever design permits personalized and efficient cleaning, while also saving time.

The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first to offer 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is among the most powerful alternatives available. This powerful vacuum can clean up the dry mess, which includes pet hair and crumbs. It has a mop of excellent quality that can clean hard floors without the need for pads. In addition the X40 is quiet in it's operation, producing only occasional squeaks of sound when switching modes or performing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 has a side brush that can be lifted and extended. This lets it reach into corners that are hard to reach and clean furniture that is curved such as table and chair legs. It also allows the robot to get under furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great choice for small apartments and condos with limited space. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that helps the X40 to prevent damage to floors from excessive back-and forth movements.

In contrast to other robots that are restricted to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum simultaneously. It can also be programmed to skip areas with carpets and mop only hard floors or vice versa. It can be controlled via the Dreame app or with Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for a seamless voice-controlled operation.

The app is easy to use and intuitive, and the X40 has many smart features that are simple to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, alter suction power and mode, view floor plans and mapping and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also track its progress and notify you when it is finished.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with numerous features that make it a perfect choice for busy families. The docking station will automatically cleans the dustbin and the mop pads and refill them with fresh cleaning solution and water. It can also detect whether the mop pad is at its maximum capacity and alert you to the situation before it spills.

4. L20 Ultra

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

The mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after each use. This is a great feature because it stops mould and unpleasant odours from accumulating in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen before on other robot mop or vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home clean longer.

There's an impressive amount of settings available which include the possibility to schedule cleaning appointments and adjust a number of different preferences. These can be set via the app or buttons that can be found on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options for customizing the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are many features that other robots don't include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power when it detects dust particles instead of using a manual setting.

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