Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry and wet messes in one session without the need to switch between devices. They can also save storage space compared to having two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

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

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively low cost, and it's one of the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you running with a clean and complete 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 a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a range of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you select the exact kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

You can, for example, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are superb, with the robot being capable of detecting small obstacles that other models struggle with. Its only issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However looking at the history of cleaning on the app will show you exactly what the robot has completed, where it's moving, and what obstacles it has encountered or avoided.

The docking station has an LCD display that shows when maintenance is needed, such as emptying debris and cleaning the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank, using a 600ml bottle of Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time and the mop is capable of operating for 184 minutes in Quiet mode, while the vacuum is able to do 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. The app is simple to use and intuitive, allowing you to look at all the details of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop, is the most up-to-date version. This year's model has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that enables it to remove finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.

As with the other two Roborock models I've tested it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to helps it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things a step further by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It will then automatically alter its path and clean around them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek angular design is eye catching, and it only has three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning process mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles as a child-lock and a home-button that can bring the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin fills up automatically.

The only negative I discovered with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. You can change the mopping cloth if required, but it's not easy to remove the mount for washing manually. I've noticed that any plush carpet that the robot passes will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, and 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 set up and manage these through the Roborock app that is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor the battery's life. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is unfortunate considering how well it performs otherwise.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot auto vacuum and mop and mop is an industry leader with its innovative features, top suction power and cutting-edge mopping capabilities. Its smart design allows you to customize and efficiently clean while saving time.

The best rated robot vacuum is also able to reach under furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for apartments with small spaces or condos. The side brush automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots. This is a nice feature that assists the X40 avoid damaging floors with excessive back-and-forth movements.

In contrast to other robots that only focus on one task, the X40 can do mopping and vacuuming at the same time or individually.

It can also detect when the mop pad is overflowing and notify you before it overflows, thus reducing the necessity for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models on the market. However, it has many characteristics that make it stand out. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. It makes use of two mops with high-speed motors to clean floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and it has the highest suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also remove pet hair, small dirt particles, and clean up spills and soiled spots.

The mop is cleaned and dried in the base station each time they are used. This is a great feature because it prevents the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature has yet to be seen on other robot mop vacuum and mop models, and it could be a great way of keeping your home cleaner for longer.

There's a wealth of settings on offer that include the ability to schedule cleaning robot mop and vacuum times and adjust a number of different preferences. These can be set via the app or there are buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and has a lot of options for customising the cleaning routine, and there are many features that other robots do not have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles instead of using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a white-and-metallic finish that looks sophisticated and classy. It's a bit heavier than the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at around 4kg however it's not overly heavy either, and it feels sturdy and well-built. The mopping system is well-designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. They can also extend to 2mm of baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature which is a nice touch.
