Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one session, without having to switch devices. They also can save storage space compared to having two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks and wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and an easy-to-follow guide will have you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in no time at all.
The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops spin at high speeds and apply 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 variety of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app which lets you choose the kind of cleaning you want for each room.
For instance, you could decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the kitchen and living rooms but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb and the robot is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only issue is that the robot is known to smash into objects and walls at full speed. However an inspection of 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 convenient LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs must be completed like emptying the debris tray and washing the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time, with the mop capable of operating for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can also view the full cleaning details in the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend however we would have liked to be able to distinguish between a mop only vacuum and mop and vacuum clean when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's flagship robot vacuum and mop, is the most up-to-date version. Unlike last year's model it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that allows it to pull up smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners may miss.
The Roborock model, just like the other two I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it get around obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things a step further by having a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they're a wall or another type of surface. It can then automatically change its direction and clean them without skipping a beat.
It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular style is eye-catching and it only has three physical buttons that include the power button which can also restart cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can bring the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin automatically refills.
The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) however, it's a hassle to take off the mount to wash it manually. homepage 've observed that any soft carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, which can cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of smart features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can configure and manage these via the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings, track battery life and component maintenance. You'll have to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering the performance otherwise.
3. Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop with incredible suction power, sophisticated mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its innovative design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while saving you time.
The X40 is the first robotic vacuum cleaner that can deliver 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which easily makes it one of the best options available. This powerful vacuum removes dry debris, including pet hair and food particles. It also has a high-quality mop that makes hard floors spotlessly clean, even with a wet pad. Additionally, the X40 is very quiet during its operation, with only occasional squeaks of sound when switching modes or when completing self-maintenance tasks.
Another notable characteristic is the X40's extendable and liftable side brushes, which lets it get into difficult-to-access corners and clean curved furniture like table and chair legs. It can also get under furniture that is low-profile which makes it an ideal option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots. This is a nice addition that assists the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by the frequent back-and-forth movement.
Unlike some other robots that only focus on one task, the X40 can do both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or in a series. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors and skip carpeted areas or reverse the process. It can be controlled using the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operations.
The app is easy to use and intuitive The X40 has many smart features that are easy to configure. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, alter suction power and mode, view floor plans and maps and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also monitor its progress and notify you when it's finished.
The X40 is easy to maintain and has many features that make it a great option for busy families. The docking station will automatically empty the dustbin, and clean the mop pads and refill them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also tell when the mop pad is overflowing and notify you before it gets overflowing, reducing the requirement for manual maintenance.
4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has many features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature of its mop heads, makes use of two mop heads with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also remove pet hair, small dirt particles and remove spills and soiled spots.
The mops are also dried and cleaned inside the base station after every use. This feature is great because it prevents mould and unpleasant odours from accumulating in the storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. It's a system that we've yet to see on other robot vacuum and mop models and it could be a useful method of keeping your home hygienic for longer.
There are a lot of options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. good robot vacuum can be adjusted via the app, or via direct buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and provides a number of options for customizing your cleaning routine. It also comes with many features that aren't available on other robots, such as the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction whenever it detects dust particles.
The L20 Ultra has a stylish design that has a white-and-metallic look that looks elegant and sophisticated. It's a little heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at around 4kg however it's not overly heavy either, and it is sturdy and well-built. The mopping design is also excellent and the double-rotating mop works well on hard floors and in corners. They can even reach down to 2mm of baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature which is a nice feature.
