Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one go without the need to switch 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 obstacle avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads using an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and an easy-to-follow guide will have you running with a clean, complete dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at high speed and use 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a range of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

You can, for example request the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and its smart navigation technology are excellent too, with the robot being capable of detecting small obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only problem is that the robot tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However looking at the history of cleaning on the app will reveal precisely what the robot vacuum uk has done, where it is traveling, and what obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station informs you when maintenance jobs are required like emptying the debris tray and cleaning the dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of 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 can last for 136 minutes in standard mode before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. The app is simple to use and intuitive, allowing you to look at 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 most popular robot vacuum and mop. In contrast to the model of last year it comes with an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to remove small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners might overlook.

This Roborock model, just like the other two I tested it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it get around obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates dual cameras that can detect objects, determining whether they are walls or other surfaces. It can then change its direction automatically and clean them, without missing a step.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek and angular design is striking and only has three physical buttons. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop button, which doubles as a child lock, and a home-button to take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml tank of water. The water tank automatically empties and the bin automatically refills.

The only issue I encountered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. You can replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount for washing manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot 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 features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app lets you manage and set up these smart features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, monitor the life of batteries and maintenance on components. You'll need to go through a few steps to enable voice control on this model. It's a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.
