Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one go, without having to switch devices. They can also reduce space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.

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

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start manual will have you up and running in no time. You'll have a a full dust bag, water tank and a hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a range of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you choose the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For example, you can choose to have the robot do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are superb, with the robot being capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only drawback is that the robot tends to crash into walls and objects at full speed. However, a quick look at the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops has accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that displays the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and rinsing the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank using a 600ml bottle of Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time and the mop is capable of running for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, while the vacuum is capable of running for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can also view the complete cleaning details within the app, which is well laid out and easy to understand although we would have liked to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or mop clean, when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

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. In contrast to the model of last year it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that allows it to remove finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners could miss.

The Roborock model, like the other two models I tested it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it get around obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating dual cameras that can detect objects, and determine if they are walls or other surfaces. It then can automatically alter its path and clean around them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular design is eye catching and only has three physical buttons. The power button, which also resumes the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank will empty itself and the bin auto-refilling.

The only issue I have found with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed) however, it's a hassle to remove the mount to wash manually. I've found any plush carpet that the robot vacuums that mop crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mount, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities which include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can set up and manage these using the Roborock app, which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, track battery life and component maintenance. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops to enable voice control on this model, which is a shame considering the performance of this model.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a market leader with its innovative features, top suction power, and advanced mowing capabilities. Its clever design permits customized and efficient cleaning while saving you time.

The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first one to provide 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is among the most powerful alternatives available. This powerful vacuum can clean up the dry mess, which includes pet hair and crumbs. It comes with a mop that is top quality that cleans hard floors without the need for a pad. Additionally the X40 is quiet in its operation, with only occasional bursts of sound when switching modes or performing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 has a side brush that is able to be lifted and extended. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean furniture that is curved like chairs and table legs. It also allows the robot to access furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for apartments or condos with limited space. The side brush automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots. This is a nice addition that assists the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by repeated back-andforth movements.

Contrary to other robots, which are limited to a single task, the X40 can vacuum and mop simultaneously. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, or reverse the process. It can be controlled using the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operations.

The app is simple to use and understand, and the X40 is equipped with many clever features that are easy to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, adjust suction power and mode, see mapping and floor plans and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also track its progress and notify you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy-to-maintain and offers many convenient features, making it a great choice for busy families. The docking station will automatically empty the dustbin, and clean the mop pads and refill them with fresh cleaning solution and water. It will also tell you the moment when the mop pad has reached its maximum capacity and alert you to the situation before it overflows.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that's among the most expensive on the market, but it packs in many extra features that make it stand out. The mops come with a brand new feature called Smart DuoScrub that utilizes two mops that are high-speed to scrub floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has the highest suction power of 7,000Pa. This is more than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can remove pet hair and small dirt particles - as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

The mop mops are cleaned and dried in the base station every time they are used. This is beneficial because it prevents mould and unpleasant odours from accumulating in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is an option we haven't seen on other robot automatic vacuum cleaner and mop and mop models. It could be a great way to keep your home cleaner longer.

There are many options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. The app allows you to set these preferences or utilize the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and provides a number of options for customizing your cleaning routine. It also comes with many features that aren't available on other robots, for instance the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects any dust particles.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on market, sporting metallic and white design that is elegant and stylish. It's a bit heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at 4kg however it's not overly heavy either, and it feels sturdy and well-built. Mopping is well designed, and the double rotating mop works well on hard floors or in corners. They can also extend to 2mm of baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice feature.
