Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris (dust dirt, grit) and wet mess (spills and stains) in one session without having to swap out devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot should be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has plenty to offer for its relatively affordable price and is among the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in no time.
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 are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments and an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.
For instance, you can ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb as the robot is capable of detecting small obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only issue it has is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed. However, just a glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing, where it's going, and which obstacles it's avoided.
The docking station comes with a handy LCD screen that displays when maintenance is needed, such as emptying debris and washing the dirty water tank. It is also able to mix 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 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. You can view the entire cleaning information in the app, which is intuitively laid out and easily understood, though we would have liked to be able distinguish between a vacuum and mop clean, when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's top robot vacuum and mop. This year's model has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This enhances the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to remove small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners could miss.
As with the other two Roborock models I've tested it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that helps it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by adding a dual camera which can recognize objects and determine whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It then can automatically alter its path and clean around the objects without a pause.
It's the most expensive model I've tried, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular style is attractive and it only has three physical buttons: the power button, that also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock; and a home button that can return the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin automatically refills.
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 it's required) but it's a challenge to take off the mount itself for manual washing. I've observed that any carpet that the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which can cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery's life. However, you'll have to go through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is unfortunate considering the quality of its performance.
