Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills or staining) in one session without the need to change devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bin and refill their water tank, and machine-wash their mopping pads with the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer at a modest price, and it's among the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide will have you up and running in no time with the complete dust bag, water tank and hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops are spun at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a range of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room.

You can, for example, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom to itself. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models can't. The only drawback is that it tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However an inspection of the cleaning history on the app will show you exactly what the robot has completed, where it's going, and which obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station informs you when maintenance jobs need to be done including emptying the debris tray and rinsing its dirty water tank. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can operate for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last 136 mins in normal mode, prior to needing recharging or returning to the base. You can also view the full cleaning details in the app, which is well laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would have liked to be able to differentiate between a mop only vacuum and mop clean, when examining a cleaned area in the cleaning history.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and mop. The model this year 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 power which allows it to pull up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

This Roborock model, like the other two models I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes a dual-camera that can identify objects, and determine if they're walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its path automatically and clean them without missing a step.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed but it's also packed with features. Its sleek, angular design is eye catching and comes with three physical buttons. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles as a child-lock and a home-button that can bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin fills up automatically.

The only downside I found in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. You can replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for washing manually. I've noticed that any plush carpet the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which can cause scratches.

robot vacuum cleaner cheap has a number of smart capabilities, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to plan cleanings and monitor the battery's life. You'll need to jump 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 robot vacuum and mop is a leader in the industry with innovative features, superior suction power, and advanced mopping capabilities. Its intelligent 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 top alternatives available. This powerful vacuum can clear up pet hair as well as crumbs and other dry messes. It also comes with a high-quality mop that leaves hard floors sparkling clean, even with a wet pad. In addition the X40 is very quiet during its operation, with only occasional bursts of noise when switching between modes or when completing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 also has a side brush that can be extended and lifted. This allows it to 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 that is low-profile making it an ideal choice for small apartments and condominiums with small spaces. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that allows the X40 to prevent damage to floors from the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Contrary to other robots which only focus on one thing, the X40 can do both vacuuming and mopping at the same time or separately. It can also be programmed to eliminate areas that have carpet and only mop hard floors, or reverse the process. It can be controlled via the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.

The app is intuitive and user-friendly and the X40's intelligent features are easy to set up. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times. It is also possible to alter suction power, alter modes, view floor plans and maps, and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also track its progress and notify you when it's done.

The X40 is easy to maintain and has numerous features which make it a good choice for busy families. The docking station can automatically empty the dustbin, and clean the mop pads and refill them with fresh cleaning solution and water. It will also tell you whether the mop pad is at its maximum capacity and alert you to the situation before it overflows.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has a number of features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, a new feature of its mops, uses 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 can remove pet hair and small dirt particles as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

The mop mops are cleaned and dried at the base station every time they are used. This feature is great because it prevents mould and unpleasant odours from building up in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen in other robot mop and vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home cleaner longer.

There are a lot of options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. These can be set via the app, or via buttons that can be found on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options to customize the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are many features that other robots don't have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles instead of using an individual setting.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on the market, sporting metallic and white colors that looks elegant and classy. It's a bit heavier at 4kg than the other robots listed on this list but it's not excessively heavy. It feels solid and well-constructed. Mopping is well-designed and the double-rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to reach even 2mm below the baseboards.
