The 10 Scariest Things About Robots That Vacuum And Mop
Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one time and without the need to switch between devices. They can also reduce space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.
A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bin and refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads with a dedicated dock.
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 is simple and the quick-start guide can get you running in no time. It comes with a full dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor.
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 fast speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, as well as a selection of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app that lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to do 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 has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models cannot. Its only issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However looking at the history of cleaning in the app will reveal precisely what the robot has done, where it is going, and which obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.
A large LCD screen on the docking station informs the maintenance tasks that must be completed, such as emptying the debris tray and washing 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 and the mop is able to operate for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode, while the vacuum is able to do 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is easy to use and intuitive that lets you look at every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular robot vacuum and mop. The model this year has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This enhances the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity which allows it to pick up smaller hairs as well as other debris other best robotic mop and vacuum cleaners might miss.
The Roborock model, just like the other two I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes two cameras that can recognize objects, and determine if they're walls or other surfaces. It will then automatically alter its path and clean around the objects without a pause.
This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed however, it's also the most feature-packed. Its sleek, angular design is striking, and it only has three physical buttons. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles as a child lock and a home-button that can send the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin automatically refills.
The only issue I have discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for washing manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which can cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of clever features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life. However, you'll have to go through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is unfortunate considering the quality of its performance.

The robot is also able to reach under furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it spots wet spots. This is a nice feature that allows the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through repeated back-and-forth movements.

This is significantly higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can clean pet hair and smaller dirt particles and also pick up spills and wet spots.
The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used. This feature is great because it stops mould and unpleasant odours from building up in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen in other robot mop or vacuum models. It could be a great way to keep your home clean longer.
There are plenty of options, including the option to schedule cleanings and change preferences. They can be set through the app, or via buttons on the unit itself. The app is easy to use and offers many options for customising the cleaning process, and there are a lot of features that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles instead of relying on a manual setting.
