Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt, grit) and wet mess (spills and stains) in one go without the need to switch out devices. They can also save space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads with a dedicated dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

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

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The automatic vacuum and mop comes with four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you select the exact kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are superb and the robot is capable of detecting small obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only issue it has is that it can hit objects and walls at full speed - but just a glance at the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.

The docking station features a handy LCD screen that shows the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, by using a 600ml bottle filled with eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time, with the mop capable of operating for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode, while the automatic vacuum and mop robot is can last for 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. The app is simple to use and intuitive, allowing you to 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 it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that enables it to remove smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

As with the other two Roborock models I've tried the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which can help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It is able to change its course automatically and clean them, without missing a step.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek angular design is eye catching and only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which restarts the cleaning, a mop button that doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml water tank. The water tank self-empties, and the bin is auto-filling.

The only downside I found with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) however, it's a hassle to take off the mount to wash it manually. I've found that any plush carpet the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, which could cause scratches.

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

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum mop cleaner robot and mop equipped with outstanding suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and ingenuity features. Its smart design allows you to personalize and efficiently clean while saving time.

The X40 is the first robotic autonomous vacuum cleaner that can deliver 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which easily makes it one of the best alternatives available. This powerful vacuum can clean up dry debris, including pet hair and crumbs. It comes with a mop that is excellent quality that can clean hard floors without using a pad. The X40 is also extremely quiet while in use, with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.

The X40 also comes with an additional side brush that can be lifted and extended. This allows it to reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean furniture with curved edges like chairs and table legs. It also allows the robot to get under furniture with a low profile, making it a great choice for small apartments and condos with tight spaces. The side brush automatically tilts down when detecting wet spots. This is a nice touch that assists the X40 avoid damaging floors with excessive back-and-forth movements.

Contrary to other robots which only focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or separately. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, or vice versa. It can be controlled via the Dreame app or by using Alexa, Siri, and Google Home to ensure a smooth voice-controlled operation.

The app is simple and easy to use and the X40's clever features are easy to set up. Users can program the X40 to clean at certain times. It can also be adjusted to adjust suction power, alter modes, view maps and floor plans, and manage mopping setting. The X40 will also track its progress and notify you when it's done.

The X40 is easy-to-maintain and offers numerous convenient features, making it a perfect choice for busy families. The docking station can automatically cleans the dustbin and mop pads before refilling them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also detect when the mop pad is filled and notify you when 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 does have several characteristics that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature in its mop heads, makes use of two mop heads that are high-speed to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also vacuum up pet hair, small dirt particles, and clean up spills and soiled spots.

The mop mops are cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used. This is a great feature because it stops mould and unpleasant odours from building up in the storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is an option we haven't seen before on other robot mop and vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home cleaner longer.

There's a plethora of settings on offer which include the ability to schedule cleaning and adjust a number of different preferences. The app allows you to make these settings or you can make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and provides a variety of options for customizing the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are many functions that other robots don't include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles instead of relying on an individual setting.

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