Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

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

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer at a modest price and is one of the most simple robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide gets you up and running in no time with the complete dust bag, water tank, and hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that cleans up a mess and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a variety of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room.

You can, for example, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation technology are excellent too and the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only issue it has is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but an instant glance at the cleaning history in the app tells you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and what obstacles it's run into or avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station tells the maintenance tasks that must be completed, such as emptying the debris tray and washing the water tank that is dirty. It is also able to mix detergent into the tank automatically by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can operate for 184 mins in Quiet Mode and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base. And you can see the entire cleaning information in the app, which is intuitively laid out and easy to understand, though we would like to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or a vacuum/mop 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 top robot mop and vacuum. The model this year has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This improves the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that allows it to pick up smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners could miss.

The Roborock model, like the other two I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls, and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they're a wall or another type of surface. It then can automatically alter its path and clean around the objects without a pause.

It's the most expensive best robot vacuum and mop I've ever tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular style is eye-catching and it has only three physical buttons: the power button, which also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can bring the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin auto-refills.

The only downside I've found with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if necessary) but it's a challenge to remove the mount for manual washing. I've found that any plush carpet that the robot vacuum cleaner best touches will come into contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of clever features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can set up and manage these through the Roborock app that is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life and component maintenance. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control on this model, which is a shame considering the performance of this model.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuums that mop vacuum and mop is a market leader with its innovative features, top suction power and cutting-edge mowing capabilities. Its innovative design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while also saving time.

In addition, the X40 is quiet in it's operation, producing only occasional squeaks of sound when switching modes or performing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 also comes with an additional side brush that can be extended and lifted. This lets it reach into corners that are hard to reach and clean furniture that is curved like chairs and table legs. It also allows the robot to get under furniture with a low profile, making it a great option for smaller apartments and condominiums with small spaces. The side brush also automatically tilts down when detecting wet spots, which is a nice feature that assists the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by excessive back-and-forth movements.

Contrary to other robots, which are restricted to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum simultaneously. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors and not skip carpeted areas, or reverse the process.

The X40 is easy to maintain and has many features that make it an excellent option for busy families. Its docking station automatically empties the dustbin into a huge 3.2 L bin, cleans the mop pads, and refills them with clean water and cleaning solution. It can also detect the moment when the mop pad is at its capacity to the max and alert you to the situation prior to it bursting.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models on the market. It has several characteristics that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub is a brand new feature in its mop, utilizes 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 that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can clean pet hair and other small dirt particles in addition to removing spills and wet spots.

The mop is cleaned and dried in the base station each time they are used. This feature is great because it stops mould and unpleasant odours from accumulating in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a system we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuum and mop models and could be a good method of keeping your home hygienic for longer.

There's an impressive amount of settings available which include the ability to schedule cleaning and adjust a variety of preferences. These settings can be adjusted via the app, or via direct buttons on the unit itself. The app is easy to use and offers many options to customize the cleaning routine, and there are numerous functions that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles, instead of using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most fashionable robots we've seen in the market, with metallic and white design that is elegant and stylish. It is a little heavier at 4kg than the other robots on this listing but it's not a lot of weight. It feels solid and well-constructed. Mopping is also well-designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors and in corners. They can also extend to 2mm baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice addition.
