Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one session, without having to switch devices. They can also help save storage space compared to having two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacle avoidance. Look for models with docks that let them automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you running with a clean, complete dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. Its mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly app that lets you pick the kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can decide to let the robot clean up the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to detect small obstacles that other models are unable to. Its only issue is that the robot vacuum uk tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However looking at the cleaning history on the app will tell you exactly what the robot accomplished, where it's moving, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station tells the maintenance tasks that need to be done, such as emptying the debris tray, and washing the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent into the water tank automatically by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop is able to run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is simple to use and intuitive that lets you view 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 most up-to-date version. Unlike last year's model it comes with an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that enables it to pick up smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.

Like the two other Roborock models I've tried, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates dual cameras that can detect objects, determining whether they are walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its course automatically and clean them without stumbling.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested and it comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular style is attractive and it has just three physical buttons which include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock; and a home button to return the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying, and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only negative I discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if needed, but it's difficult to take the mount off for washing manually. I've observed that any carpet that the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can configure and manage these through the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to plan cleanings and monitor battery life. But you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to enable voice control on this model, which is a shame considering the quality of its performance.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a leader in the industry with innovative features, superior suction power, and advanced mowing capabilities. Its smart design allows users to tailor and effectively clean while reducing time.

The X40 is the first robotic cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner to provide 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which makes it one of the best options available. This powerful vacuum can clear up pet hair, crumbs and other dry debris. It also comes with a top-quality mop that leaves floors sparkling clean, even with a wet pad. The X40 is also extremely quiet when in operation with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.

Another standout feature is the X40's expandable and liftable side brush, that allows it to reach difficult-to-access corners and clean furniture such as table and chairs' legs. It also allows the robot to access furniture with a low profile making it an ideal choice for small apartments and condos with limited space. The side brush tilts automatically down when it spots wet spots. This is a nice feature that helps the X40 to prevent damage to floors from excessive back-and forth movements.

Unlike some other robots that only focus on one thing, the X40 can do mopping and vacuuming simultaneously or separately. It can also be programmed to avoid areas that have carpet and only mop hard floors 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 to use and intuitive and the X40 is equipped with many clever features that are simple to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, adjust suction power and mode, view mapping and floor plans, and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also keep track of its progress, and alert you when it is finished.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with numerous features which make it a good choice for busy families. The docking station automatically cleans the dustbin and mop pads before refilling them with fresh cleaning solution and water. It also can detect the moment when the mop pad is at its capacity to the max and alert you to the situation before it spills.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot vacuums with mop that is among the most expensive available and comes with many additional features that distinguish it from. Smart DuoScrub, a new feature in its mop, utilizes two mop heads with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is significantly higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can remove pet hair and small 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 is a fantastic feature since it prevents the growth of odours and mould in storage, and also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen in other robot vacuum and mop models. It could be a great method to keep your home clean longer.

There are plenty of options, including the ability to schedule cleanings and change preferences. The app allows you to define these preferences, or make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options to customize the cleaning process, and there are many features that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles, rather than using a manual setting.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most fashionable robots we've seen in the market, with a white and metallic design that looks elegant and classy. It's a bit heavier than some of the other two-in-one robots on this list - at 4kg however it's not overly heavy, and feels robust and well built. The mopping system is well-designed, and the double rotating mop works well on hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to reach up to 2mm below baseboards.
