Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning dry and wet messes in one go and without the need to switch between devices. They also can save space compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has a lot to offer at a affordable price and is among the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is easy, and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time. It comes with the complete dust bag, water tank, and hard floor solution.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops 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 pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a range of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.
You can, for example ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb, with the robot being capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only issue is that the robot is known to smash into walls and objects at full speed. However looking at the cleaning history on the app will show you exactly what the robot done, where it is moving, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.
A handy LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs 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, with a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.
cheap robot vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time as well, with the mop being capable of operating for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in standard mode before having to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is easy to use and intuitive that lets you see every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's top robot vacuum and mop. In contrast to the model of last year it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pick up fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners might be unable to pick up.
As with the other two Roborock models I've tested, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help to avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates two cameras that can recognize objects, and determine if they are walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its direction and clean them without missing a beat.
It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching and comes with 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 that can take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank will empty itself, and the bin is auto-filling.
The only issue I encountered to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's not easy to take the mount off 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 mounts, which could cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of intelligent features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can manage and set up these via 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 hurdles to allow voice control with this model which is a pity considering how well it performs otherwise.
