Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning both dry and wet messes in one go without the need to switch devices. They can also reduce space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good robot vacuum combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bins and refill their water tank, and wash their mopping pads from the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively low cost, and it's among the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start guide will have you up and running in no time with an entire dust bag, water tank and a hard floor.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that is able to clean up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of attachments and brushes, and a user-friendly app that lets you choose the type 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 but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation tech are excellent too and the robot is capable of detecting small obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only minor issue is that it tends to smash into walls and other objects at full speed. However, a quick glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.

The docking station features a handy LCD screen that displays the need for maintenance like emptying the debris and rinsing the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent into the water tank by itself, using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time and the mop is capable of operating for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in normal mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. The app is simple to use and intuitive and lets you see all the details of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot hoover and mop vacuum and mop. This year's model has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This improves the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power which allows it to remove finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tried, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates two cameras that can recognize objects, determining if they are walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its direction and clean the objects without a pause.

It's 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 only has three physical buttons. The power button, which also resumes the cleaning mop button, which doubles up as a child-lock, and a home-button to send the robot mop to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank self-empties and the bin auto-refilling.

The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed) however, it's a hassle to remove the mount to wash it manually. I've found any plush carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mounts, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of intelligent features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these advanced features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery's lifespan. You'll need to go through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop with incredible suction power, sophisticated mowing capabilities, and ingenuity features. Its intelligent design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while saving you time.

The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first to offer 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is among the most powerful alternatives available. This powerful vacuum removes dry mess, including pet hair and crumbs. It has a mop of excellent quality that can clean hard floors without the use of pads. Additionally the X40 is extremely quiet during it's operation, producing only occasional bursts of noise when switching between modes or when completing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 has a side brush that is able to be extended and lifted. This allows it to reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean furniture that is curved like chairs and table legs. The robot is also able to reach under low-profile furnishings which makes it a great option for apartments with small spaces or condos. The side brush automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots, which is a nice touch that helps the X40 avoid damaging floors with repeated back-andforth movements.

Contrary to other robots, which are restricted to a single task, the X40 can vacuum and mop simultaneously. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors and not skip carpeted areas or reverse the process. It can be controlled by the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.

The app is simple to use and intuitive and the X40 is equipped with many clever features that are easy to install. Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It is also possible to alter suction power, alter modes, look at floor plans and maps and control mopping settings. The X40 can also track its progress and inform you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with many convenient features, making it a great option for busy families. Its docking station automatically empties the dustbin into a large 3.2 L bin, washes the mop pads, then refills them with fresh water and cleaning solution. It can also detect when the mop pad is full and notify you when it gets overflowing, reducing the requirement for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that is among the most expensive available, but it packs in a lot of additional features that distinguish it from. Smart DuoScrub, a new feature in 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 vacuum up pet hair, dirt particles, and clean up spills and soiled spots.

Its mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after every use. This is a great feature because it stops mould and unpleasant odours from building up in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a system we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuums and mop models and it could be a useful method of keeping your home hygienic for longer.

There's an impressive amount of settings available that include the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust a variety of preferences. These settings can be adjusted via the app or buttons that can be found on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options to customize the cleaning routine, and there are numerous functions that other robots don't have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles rather than using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a metallic-white-white finish that looks elegant and elegant. It is a little heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots on this listing but it's not a lot of weight. It feels solid and well-constructed. The mopping is also well-designed and the double-rotating mops work well on hard floors and in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them reach even 2mm below the baseboards.
