The 10 Most Scariest Things About Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning dry debris and wet mess in one time, without having to switch devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living areas.

A good combination bot should have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively low cost, and it's one of the easiest robots that vacuum and mop we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and an easy-to-follow guide will have you running with a clean, full dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and also vacuums well. Its mops spin at high speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The automatic vacuum and mop robot comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly app that lets you choose the exact kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.

You could, for instance ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to detect small obstacles that other models can't. The only drawback is that the robot tends to crash into objects and walls at full speed. However, a quick look at the cleaning history on the app will tell you exactly what the robot has accomplished, where it's going, and which obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station tells the maintenance tasks that must be completed including emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It also mixes detergent into the water tank in a controlled manner by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time as well, with the mop being able to operate for 184 minutes in Quiet mode, while the vacuum is can last for 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. The app is simple to use and intuitive and lets you look at every aspect of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's most popular robot vacuum and mop is the newest version. The model this year has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This improves the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity which allows it to remove smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaner and mop cleaners may miss.

As with the two other Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that help to avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It will then automatically alter its direction and clean the objects without a pause.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek and angular design is attractive and it has only three physical buttons which include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock; and a home button that can send the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin auto-refills.

The only downside I found to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. You can replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to take the mount off for washing manually. I've noticed that any plush carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, which can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of intelligent features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these advanced features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery life and maintain your components. You'll need to jump through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

It also allows the robot to access furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for apartments or condos with tight spaces. The side brush also automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots. This is a nice addition 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 can perform both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or individually.

Smart DuoScrub, a new feature on 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 the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also remove pet hair, dirt particles, and clean up spills and dirty spots.

The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used. This is an excellent feature as it stops the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and it also makes the mop system a lot more efficient. It's a system that we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuum and mop models and it could be a great method to keep your home hygienic for longer.

The app is simple to use and offers a variety of options to customize your cleaning routine.
