Robots that vacuum and mop provide the convenience of cleaning dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills and stains) in one session without having to swap out devices. They can also help save space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and machine-wash their mopping pads using the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time. It comes with a full dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can cleans up a mess and vacuums well too. Its mops spin at high speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you choose the exact kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models cannot. 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 show you exactly what the robot accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles it has encountered or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that shows when maintenance is needed for cleaning up debris and washing the water tank that is dirty. 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 have plenty of run-time, with the mop capable of running for 184 minutes in Quiet mode, while the vacuum is can last for 136 minutes in normal mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. And you can see the complete cleaning details within the app, which is clearly laid out and is easy to comprehend, though we would like to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a clean area in the cleaning history.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular robot mop and autonomous vacuum. The model of this year features an agitator that doubles as its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners could miss.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to helps it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by having a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they're a wall or another surface. It can then change its direction automatically and clean the objects without missing a step.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed however, it's also the most packed with features. Its sleek and angular design is eye-catching and it only has three physical buttons which include the power button which can also restart cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock; and a home button to send the robot back to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find the 350ml dust bin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying, and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only drawback I could find to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. You can replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off for manual washing. I've found that any plush carpet the robot vacuum cleaner uk crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can manage and set up these using the Roborock app, which is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the life of batteries and maintenance on components. 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 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop equipped with exceptional suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its innovative design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while also saving time.

This powerful vacuum can clear up pet hair as well as crumbs and other dry mess. It also comes with a top-quality mop that leaves floors spotlessly clean, even without a wet pad. The X40 is also very quiet when in operation, with only occasional bursts during modes changes or self-maintenance.

The X40 also comes with an additional side brush that can be extended and lifted. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean curved furniture such as table and chair legs. It can also get under low-profile furnishings, making it an excellent option for apartments with small spaces or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that helps the X40 to avoid damaging floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike some other robots that solely focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or separately. It can also be programmed to skip areas with carpet and mop only hard floors, or reverse the process. It can be controlled via the Dreame app or via Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for a seamless voice-controlled operation.

Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It can also be adjusted to adjust suction power, change modes, look at floor plans and maps, and manage mopping setting.

The docking station automatically empty the dustbin into a huge 3.2 L bin, washes mop pads and refills them with clean water and a cleaning solution. It can also detect when the mop pad is full and notify you before it overflows, reducing the need for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. However, it has many features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature on its mops, uses two high-speed mop heads to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a suction force of 7,000Pa. This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can remove pet hair and smaller dirt particles as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

Its mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after every use. This is a fantastic feature as it stops the build-up of odours and mould in the storage area, and it also makes the mop system a lot more efficient. This is a feature has yet to be seen on other robot vacuum and mop models, and it could be a good method of keeping your home cleaner for longer.

There are a lot of options, including the option to schedule cleanings and change preferences. The app allows you to define these preferences, or make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options for customizing the cleaning routine, and there are many features that other robots do not include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles, instead of relying on an individual setting.

robot-vacuum-mops-logo-text-black-png-original.jpgThe L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on the market, sporting a white and metallic design that is elegant and stylish. It's heavier than the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at 4kg however it's not overly heavy, 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 also reach down to 2mm of baseboards due to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice touch.
