10 Things Everybody Has To Say About Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris and wet mess in one time without the need to switch between devices. They can also reduce space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bin, refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads with an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start manual gets you up and running in no time. It comes with a full dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.

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

For instance, you could decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are also excellent and the robot is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. The only drawback is that it is known to smash into walls and objects at a high speed. However, a quick look at the cleaning history on the app will show you exactly what the robot completed, where it's moving, and what obstacles it has encountered or avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station informs you when maintenance jobs are required, such as emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It is also able to mix detergent into the water tank in a controlled manner by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop can run for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can run for 136 minutes in standard mode, before needing to recharge or returning back to the base. You can also view the complete cleaning details within the app, which is intuitively laid out and easy to understand although we would like to be able to differentiate between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.

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. The model of this year features two agitators built into its mopping pad. This improves the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pick up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners could be unable to pick up.

As with the two other Roborock models I've tested it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It will then automatically alter its path and clean around them without missing a beat.

It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek, angular design is striking and only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop button, which doubles up as a child-lock, and a home-button to bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin automatically refills.

The only issue I have discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. You can replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for manual washing. 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, and that can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number intelligent features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and track the battery's life. But you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control on this model which is unfortunate considering the quality of its performance.

It also allows the robot to get under furniture with a low profile making it an ideal option for apartments or condos with tight spaces. The side brush also automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots, which is a nice addition that assists the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike some other robots that only focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or separately. It can also be programmed to avoid areas with carpets and mop only hard floors, and reverse the process.

This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can remove pet hair and smaller dirt particles in addition to removing spills and wet spots.

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 good method to keep your home clean for longer.

The app is simple to use and has many options for customizing your cleaning routine. It also comes with a number of features that aren't available on other robots, like the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects dust particles.
