robots that vacuum and mop (www.heidelbergsecatechismus.nl)
Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris and wet mess in one time, without having to switch between devices. They can also save space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot must be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bins and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads from the dock that is specifically designed for them.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's one of the easiest robots to install that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean and complete dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in no time at all.
The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that is able to clean up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops spin at fast speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and a user-friendly app that lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.
For example, you can choose to have the robot take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen areas but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and its smart navigation technology are excellent too and the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only minor issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However, a quick glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading and what obstacles it's run into or avoided.
A convenient LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance jobs need to be done, such as emptying the debris tray and cleaning the dirty water tank. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time as well, with the mop being able to operate for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in standard mode before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. And you can see the full cleaning details in the app, which is clearly laid out and is easy to comprehend however we would like to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's most popular robot vacuum and mop. It's not like the model from last year it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pick up fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners might overlook.
The Roborock model, like the other two I tested it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it avoid obstacles such as furniture, walls, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates a dual-camera that can identify objects, and determine if they're walls or other surfaces. It can then change its path in a way that is automatic vacuum and mop robot and clean around them without missing a step.
This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also feature-packed. Its sleek angular design is eye catching and comes with three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning, a mop button that doubles up as a child-lock and a home button to send the robot vacuums uk to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal 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 was that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed), it's a pain to take off the mount itself to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which could cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities which include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these smart features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, track the life of batteries and maintenance on components. You'll need to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.

The side brush also automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots, which is a nice touch that helps the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.
