robots that vacuum and mop (click the next website page)
Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one time and without the need to switch between devices. They also can save storage space compared to having two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads using an appropriate dock.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has plenty to offer for its low cost, and it's among the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple, and the quick-start guide can get you up and running in no time with the complete 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 is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at high speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a variety of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room.
For instance, you could decide to let the robot clean up the living and kitchen areas but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It can 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 history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what the robot has done, where it is 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, such as emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank by using a 600ml bottle filled with eufy's own solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time, with the mop capable of running for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. And you can see the entire cleaning information in the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend however we would have liked to be able distinguish between a mop only vacuum and mop clean, when looking at a clean 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 mop and vacuum. It's not like the model from last year, this one features a double agitator in its mopping pad which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity which allows it to pull up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.
This Roborock model, just like the other two I tried is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like 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 then can automatically alter its direction and clean the objects without a pause.
It's the most expensive model I've tried however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular design is eye-catching and it only has three physical buttons that include the power button which 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. Lifting the hinged lid reveals a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin auto vacuum and mop-refills.
The only downside I've discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount 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, and that can cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number clever features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, monitor the battery life and maintain your components. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to allow voice control with this model which is unfortunate considering the quality of its performance.

It also comes with a high-quality mop that makes hard floors spotlessly clean, even without a wet pad. Additionally the X40 is quiet in it's operation, producing only occasional squeaks of sound when switching modes or when completing self-maintenance tasks.
Another standout feature is the X40's expandable and liftable side brush which allows it to get into difficult-to-access corners and clean curved furniture like table and chair legs. It also allows the robot to access furniture that is low-profile, making it a great option for apartments or condominiums with small spaces. The side brush also automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots, which is a nice touch that helps the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by repeated back-andforth movements.
Unlike some other robots that solely focus on one task, the X40 can perform both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or separately. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, or vice versa. It can be controlled using the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.
The app is simple and user-friendly and the X40's intelligent features are a breeze to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at certain times. It is also possible to alter suction power, alter modes, look at maps and floor plans, and manage mopping setting. The X40 will also monitor its progress, and alert you when it is finished.
The X40 is easy to keep clean and has many features which make it a good option for busy families. Its docking station automatically empties the dustbin into a large 3.2 L bin, washes mop pads and refills them with clean water and a cleaning solution. 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.

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that is among the most expensive models available and comes with many extra features that distinguish it from. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub that uses two high-speed mops to clean floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and has an impressive 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 other small dirt particles in addition to removing spills and wet spots.
Its mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after each use. This is an excellent feature because it prevents the growth of odours and mould in storage, and it also makes the mop system a lot more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen in other robot mop or vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home cleaner longer.
There are many options, including the ability to schedule cleanings and change preferences. The app lets you define these preferences, or you can make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and has many options for customizing your cleaning routine. It also has several functions that are not available on other robots, like the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects any dust particles.
The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a white-and-metallic finish that looks elegant and elegant. It's a little 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 robust and well built. The mopping system is also well designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. They can even extend up to 2mm of baseboards due to the MopExtend feature which is a nice addition.
