Robots That Vacuum and Mop Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry and wet messes in one time and without the need to switch between devices. They can also save storage space compared to having two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces. A good combination bot must be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads. 1. Eufy S1 Pro It has a lot to offer for its relatively low cost and is one of the most simple robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and an easy-to-follow guide will have you up and running with a clean, complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in no time. The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops are spun at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried 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. You could, for instance request the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are excellent too, with the robot being capable of detecting small obstacles that other models struggle with. Its only minor issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However, just a glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and what obstacles it's avoided. A handy LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance tasks are required, such as emptying the debris tray and cleaning the dirty water tank. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, using a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution. Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long running time. The mop is able to run for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can run for 136 minutes in standard mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is easy to use and intuitive and lets you see all the details of the cleaning. 2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's flagship robot mop and vacuum. In contrast to the model of last year, this one features an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pick up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners may overlook. The Roborock model, like the other two I tried it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by having a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It then can alter its course in a way that is automatic and clean around them without stumbling. It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek angular design is striking and comes with three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning process mop button, which doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can send the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals the 350ml dust bin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin fills up automatically. The only drawback I could find in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. While you can swap out the mopping cloth (if necessary) but it's a challenge to take off the mount itself to wash manually. I've observed that any carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which can cause scratches. The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can manage and set up these through the Roborock app which is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, monitor battery life and component maintenance. But you'll need to jump through a few hoops to allow voice control with this model which is a pity considering how well it performs otherwise. 3. Dreame X40 The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop that has exceptional suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and innovative features. Its intelligent design allows for customised and efficient cleaning while saving you time. The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first to offer 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is one of the most powerful choices available. This powerful vacuum removes dry debris, including pet hair and food particles. It also comes with a top-quality mop that makes hard floors sparkling clean, even with a wet pad. In addition, the X40 is extremely quiet during its operation, with only occasional squeaks of sound when switching between modes or performing self-maintenance tasks. Another noteworthy characteristic is the X40's extendable and liftable side brush which allows it to get into hard-to-reach corners and intimately clean curved furniture like table and chairs' legs. It can also get under furniture that is low-profile, making it an excellent option for apartments with small spaces or condos. The side brush also automatically tilts down when detecting wet spots. This is a nice touch that assists the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by repeated back-andforth movements. Contrary to other robots which only focus on one thing, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping at the same time or in a series. It can also be programmed to avoid areas with carpet and mop only hard floors, and vice versa. It can be controlled using the Dreame app or by using Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for smooth voice-controlled operation. The app is simple to use and understand and the X40 is equipped with many clever features that are simple to configure. 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 will also keep track of its progress and notify you when it's done. The X40 is easy-to-maintain and offers numerous convenient features, making it a perfect option for busy families. The docking station automatically cleans the dustbin and the mop pads, then refill them with fresh cleaning solution and water. It can also detect when the mop pad is overflowing and notify you before it gets overflowing, reducing the requirement for manual maintenance. 4. L20 Ultra The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has several features that make it stand out. Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. It uses two high-speed mops to clean floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has the highest suction power of 7,000Pa. This is significantly higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can remove pet hair and smaller dirt particles as well as picking up spills and wet spots. The mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after each use. This is a great feature as it stops the build-up of odours and mould in storage, and it also makes mop systems more efficient. This is an option we haven't seen on other robot mop and vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home cleaner longer. There are plenty of options, including the option to schedule cleanings and adjust preferences. The app lets you define these preferences, or use the buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and has a lot of options for customising the cleaning routine, and there are many functions that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power when it detects dust particles, instead of using the manual setting. The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on the market, with metallic and white design that is elegant and stylish. It's a little heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list – at around 4kg – but it's not obscenely heavy, and is sturdy and well-built. The mopping system is well-designed, and the double rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. They can also extend to 2mm of baseboards due to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice addition.
