Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

A good combination bot will have impressive navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its relatively affordable price and is among the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start manual will have you up and running in no time. It comes with an entire dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a range of brushes and attachments, 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 vacuums that mop to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation tech are superb, with the robot being able to detect tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only issue it has is that it tends to crash into walls and objects at full speed - but just a glance at the history of cleaning in the app tells you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and the obstacles it's avoided.

The docking station has an LCD display that indicates the need for maintenance for cleaning up debris and rinsing the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank by using a 600ml bottle filled with eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro automatic vacuum cleaner and mop have plenty of run-time as well, with the mop being capable of operating for an 184-minute runtime 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. You can also view the entire cleaning information in the app, which is clearly laid out and easy to understand, though we would like to be able to distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's most popular robot mop and vacuum. 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 also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pull up fine hairs and other debris that other robotic hoovers cleaners could be unable to pick up.

As with the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by incorporating a dual camera that can recognize objects and determine whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It then can automatically alter its direction and clean them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching, and it only has three physical buttons. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles as a child-lock and a home-button that can send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin auto-refills.

The only downside I've discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad 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 itself to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, which could cause scratches.

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

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop with outstanding suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and ingenuity features. Its smart design allows you to customize and efficiently clean while saving 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 alternatives available. This powerful vacuum can clear up pet hair dust, crumbs and any other dry messes. It also has a high-quality mop that leaves floors spotlessly clean, even with a wet pad. The X40 is also very quiet in operation with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.

The X40 also has a side brush that can be lifted and extended. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean curved furniture like chairs and table legs. It also lets the robot to access furniture that is low-profile, making it a great choice for small apartments and condos with tight spaces. The side brush also automatically tilts down when detecting wet spots. This is a nice touch that helps the X40 avoid damaging floors with the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike other robots, which are limited to one task, the X40 can vacuum and mop at the same time. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors and skip carpeted areas or reverse the process. It can be controlled using the Dreame app or via Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for smooth voice-controlled operation.

The app is simple and simple to use and the X40's intelligent features are a breeze to set up. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, alter suction power and mode, look at floor plans and mapping, and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also monitor its progress, and alert you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with numerous convenient features, making it an ideal choice for busy families. The docking station will automatically empty the dustbin and wash the mop pads and refill them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also tell when the mop pad is full and notify you before it overflows, reducing the necessity for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that's among the most expensive available however, it comes with a lot of extra features that distinguish it from. Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. This makes use of two mops with high-speed motors to clean floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has a high maximum suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, small dirt particles and remove spills and dirty spots.

Its mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after each use. This feature is great because it stops mould and unpleasant odours that can build up in the storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. It's a system that we've yet to see on other robot vacuums and mop models, and it could be a useful method to keep your home hygienic for longer.

There are a lot of options, including the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. These can be set via the app or there are direct buttons on the unit 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 don't include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles instead of relying on a manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design that has a white-and-metallic look that looks sophisticated and classy. It's a little heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at around 4kg but it's not too heavy, and it feels sturdy and well-built. The mopping system is also well designed, and the double rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. They can even extend up to 2mm of baseboards due to the MopExtend feature which is a nice addition.
