Robots That Vacuum and Mop Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one go and without the need to switch devices They can also save space when compared to two separate units especially in smaller living spaces A good combination bot will provide excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance Look for models with docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins replenish their water tanks and wash the mopping pads 1 Eufy S1 Pro It has plenty to offer at a affordable price and its among the easiest robots weve tested to install Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple and a quickstart guide will have you up and running with a clean and 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 is able to clean up a storm and also vacuums well The mops spin at a high speed and utilize 22 pounds 1kg of force to get rid of pet hair dirt and sticky dried spills The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings a range of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room For instance you can choose to have the robot take care of a thorough cleanup in the kitchen and living rooms but take it easy in the spare bedroom The S1 Pros front colision sensors and its smart navigation technology are superb as the robot is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models struggle with Its only issue is that the robot is known to smash into walls and objects at a high speed However a quick look at the history of cleaning on the app will show you exactly what the robot has completed where its moving and what obstacles he has run into or avoided The docking station comes with an LCD display that shows the time when maintenance is required like emptying the debris and rinsing the dirty water tank It can also 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 normal mode prior to needing recharging or returning to the base You can view the complete cleaning details within the app which is intuitively laid out and easy to understand although we would like to be able to distinguish between a mop only vacuum and mop clean when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning 2 Roborock S8 Pro Ultra The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the companys flagship robot mop and vacuum Unlike last years model it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that enables it to remove finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners could miss Like the other two Roborock models Ive tested this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which help it avoid furniture walls and other obstacles The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates a dualcamera that can identify objects determining whether theyre walls or other surfaces robot vacuum best will then automatically alter its path and clean around the objects without a pause Its the most expensive robot Ive ever tested but it also has the most features Its sleek angular design is eye catching and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible The power button which resumes the cleaning mop function a button for cleaning that doubles up as a childlock and a home button to bring the robot to its dock The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml water tank The water tank is automatically filled and the bin autorefills The only issue I have discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isnt movable You can replace the mopping cloth if required but its a challenge to take the mount off to wash it manually Ive noticed that any plush carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the Velcrolike fastener system on the mount which could cause abrasions The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features including support for Google Home Amazon Alexa and Siri The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these smart features It also contains maps and advanced mopping options The app lets you schedule cleanings and monitor the batterys lifespan But youll need to jump through a few hoops in order to allow voice control with this model which is a shame considering the quality of its performance 3 Dreame X40 The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a leader in the industry with cuttingedge features high suction power and cuttingedge mopping capabilities Its intelligent design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning while also saving time The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first one to provide 12000 Pascals cleaning power It is among the most powerful alternatives available This powerful vacuum can clean up pet hair crumbs and other dry messes It comes with a mop of top quality that cleans hard floors without using a pad Additionally the X40 is quiet in its operation producing only occasional bursts of sound when switching modes or when completing selfmaintenance tasks The X40 has an additional side brush that can be extended and lifted This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean curved furniture like chairs and table legs It also lets the robot to reach under lowprofile furniture making it an ideal choice for small apartments and condos with tight spaces The side brush also automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots This is a nice touch that assists the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by the frequent backandforth movement In contrast to other robots that are limited to a single task the X40 can vacuum and mop at the same time It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors and skip carpeted areas and vice versa It can be controlled using the Dreame app or with Alexa Siri and Google Home for a seamless voicecontrolled operation The app is intuitive and simple to use and the X40s smart features are simple to set up Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times alter suction power and mode view floor plans and maps and manage mopping settings The X40 can also monitor its progress and notify you when its done The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with many convenient features making it an ideal option for busy families Its docking station automatically empties the dustbin into a large 32 L bin washes mop pads and refills them with clean water and cleaning solution It can also tell when the mop pad is filled and notify you before it gets overflowing reducing the need for manual maintenance 4 L20 Ultra The L20 Ultra is a highend robot thats one of the most expensive on the market and comes with numerous additional features that distinguish it from Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub that uses two highspeed mops to clean floors more thoroughly than the traditional method and it has the highest suction power of 7000Pa This is much higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and it can remove pet hair and small dirt particles and also pick up spills and wet spots The mop is cleaned and dried in the base station every time they are used This is an excellent feature since it prevents the buildup of odours and mould in the storage area and it also makes the mop system more efficient Its a system that weve yet to see on other robot vacuums and mop models and could be a useful way of keeping your home cleaner for longer There are plenty of choices including the possibility to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences They can be set through the app or direct buttons on the unit itself The app is simple to use and provides a variety of options to customize the cleaning routine Additionally there are many functions that other robots dont include for instance the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles instead of relying on an individual setting The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots weve seen on the market sporting metallic and white design that looks classy and sophisticated Its a little heavier than some of the other twoinone robots on this list at 4kg however its not overly heavy and is sturdy and wellbuilt Mopping is also welldesigned and the double rotating mop works well on hard floors and in corners They can even reach down to 2mm of baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature which is a nice touch
