Robots That Vacuum And Mop (Https://Opencbc.Com)
Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning dry and wet messes in one session without the need to switch devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.
A good combination bot will have impressive navigation and obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bin, refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads using the dock that is specifically designed for them.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has a lot to offer for its modest 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 running with a clean and 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 also vacuums well. The mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you pick the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.
You could, for instance, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models are unable to. Its only drawback is that it can smash into walls and other objects at a high speed, but just a glance at the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading, and which obstacles it's avoided.
A handy LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance tasks must be completed, such as emptying the debris tray and washing the water tank that is dirty. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank by using a 600ml bottle filled with the eufy's solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time and the mop is able to operate for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. And you can see the complete cleaning details within the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would like to be able distinguish between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a clean area in the cleaning history.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's top-of-the-line robot vacuum that vacuums and mops mop and vacuum, is the most recent version. This year's model has an agitator that doubles as its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power which allows it to pick up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.
As with the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by having a dual camera that can recognize objects and determine whether they are a wall or another surface. It can then change its path in a way that is automatic and clean around the objects without missing a step.
It's the most expensive model I've tested and it comes with the most features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching and only has three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning, a mop button that doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml water tank. The water tank self-empties and the bin auto vacuum and mop-refilling.
The only negative I discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. You can change the mopping cloth if needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for manual washing. I've noticed that any plush carpet the robot vacuum with mop crosses will be in contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and can cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these advanced features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings, track the life of batteries and maintenance on components. You'll have to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

The app is simple to use and provides a variety of options for customising the cleaning process, and there are many features that other robots don't have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power when it detects dust particles, instead of using the manual setting.
