Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt) and wet messes (spills or stains) in one go without the need to switch out devices. They also can save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will provide excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads from an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its low cost and is among the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and the quick-start guide will get you running with a clean, complete dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, as well as a selection of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For example, you can opt for the robot to do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but take it easy in 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 are unable to. Its only issue is that the robot vacuum best tends to crash into objects and walls at full speed. However, a quick look at the cleaning history on the app will tell you precisely what the robot has done, where it is going, and which obstacles he has run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that displays when maintenance is needed for cleaning up debris and rinsing the water tank that is dirty. It also mixes detergent into the tank in a controlled manner, using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long running time. The mop can run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. And you can see the full cleaning details in the app, which is well laid out and easily understood, though we would have liked to be able to distinguish 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, the most recent version of Roborock's flagship robot cleaner vacuum and mop is the most up-to-date version. It's not like the model from last year this one has two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power that allows it to pull up smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners may miss.

The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining whether they are walls or other surfaces. It is able to change its direction in a way that is automatic and clean around the objects, without missing a step.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed but it's also packed with features. Its sleek, angular design is eye-catching and it has only 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 best robot vacuum that mops to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank is self-emptying, and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only downside I've found with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to take the mount off for manual washing. I've observed that any soft carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number smart features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can set up and manage these using the Roborock app that is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you schedule cleanings and monitor the battery's life. You'll need to jump through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.
