Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one go, without having to switch devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will provide excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has a lot to offer at a affordable price and is one of the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start manual will have you running in no time. It comes with the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at high speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a variety of attachments and brushes, and a user-friendly app that lets you pick the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.
For instance, you could opt for the robot to take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and its smart navigation technology are also excellent, with the robot being able to detect tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only drawback is that it can smash into walls and other objects at a high speed, but a quick glance at the cleaning history in the app tells you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and what obstacles it's avoided.
The docking station features an LCD display that indicates the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris 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 vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time and the mop is capable of running for 184 minutes in Quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is simple to use and intuitive and lets you view every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's flagship robot vacuum cleaner uk mop and vacuum, is the most up-to-date version. It's not like the model from last year, this one features an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that enables it to remove smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaner and mop cleaners might miss.
As with the other two Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that 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 whether they are walls or other surfaces. It is able to change its course automatically and clean the objects without missing a step.
It's the most expensive model I've tested and it comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular design is eye-catching and it only has three physical buttons: the power button, that also resumes cleaning; a mop-only button that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can return the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin automatically refills.
The only drawback I could find in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if necessary) but it's a challenge to take off the mount to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet that the robot passes will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and can cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app lets you manage and set up these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to plan cleanings and monitor battery life.
