Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

A good combination bot must 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 wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its modest price and is one of the most simple robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start manual will have you up and running in no time. You'll have a an entire dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at high speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

You could, for instance request the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and its smart navigation technology are superb as the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only issue it has is that it tends to smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but just a glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading and the obstacles it's avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station shows the maintenance tasks that are required like emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent into the water tank automatically with a 600ml of eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time and the mop is capable of operating for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can also view the complete cleaning details within the app, which is intuitively laid out and easy to understand although we would have liked to be able to differentiate between a vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when examining 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 mop and vacuum. Unlike last year's model, this one features two agitators in its mopping pad which greatly improves carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that enables it to remove smaller hairs and other particles 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 that helps it get around obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It will then automatically alter its path and clean the objects without a pause.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also the most feature-packed. Its sleek angular design is eye catching, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop button, which doubles as a child lock and a home button to send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin fills up automatically.

The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if necessary) but it's a challenge to take off the mount to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which could cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number smart features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app lets you manage and set up these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life. But you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to allow voice control with this model, which is a shame considering how well it performs otherwise.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a market leader with cutting-edge features, high suction power and cutting-edge mowing capabilities. Its clever design permits customised and efficient cleaning while reducing time.

The X40 is the first robotic vacuum cleaner that can deliver 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which makes it one of the best alternatives available. https://canvas.instructure.com/eportfolios/3392218/home/5-common-myths-about-robots-that-vacuum-and-mop-you-should-stay-clear-of can clean up pet hair dust, crumbs and any other dry debris. It comes with a mop of high quality that cleans hard floors without the need for a pad. In addition the X40 is quiet in its operation, with only occasional bursts of sound when switching modes or completing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 also has a side brush that is able to be lifted and extended. This allows it to reach into corners that are hard to reach and clean curved furniture such as table and chair legs. It also allows the robot to get under furniture with a low profile, making it a great option for apartments or condos with tight spaces. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that helps the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through excessive back-and forth movements.

Contrary to other robots, which are limited to one task, the X40 can vacuum and mop at the same time. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas or reverse the process. It can be controlled via the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.

The app is intuitive and user-friendly and the X40's intelligent features are easy to set up. Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It is also possible to alter suction power, change modes, view maps and floor plans, and manage mopping setting. The X40 can also track its progress and notify you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with numerous features that make it a great choice for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the trash bin into a 3.2 L bin, washes the mop pads, then refills them with clean water and a cleaning solution. It can also tell when the mop pad is filled and alert you before it overflows, reducing the requirement for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models on the market. It has a number of characteristics that make it stand out. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub that uses two high-speed mops to scrub floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and it has an impressive suction power of 7,000Pa. This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can vacuum up pet hair and smaller dirt particles as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station every time they are used. This is a great feature because it prevents mould and unpleasant odours from accumulating in the storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. It's a system that has yet to be seen on other robot vacuum and mop models and it could be a great method to keep your home clean for longer.

There's a plethora of settings available that include the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust a variety of preferences. They can be set through the app or direct buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and has many options to customize your cleaning routine. It also comes with several features that aren't 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 that has a white-and-metallic look that looks sophisticated and classy. It's a bit heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots on this list however it's not excessively heavy. It is solid and well-built. Mopping is also well-designed and the double-rotating mop is great for hard floors as well as in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
