17 Signs That You Work With Robots That Vacuum And Mop
Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one go without the need to switch between devices. They can also reduce space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.
A good combination bot will have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models with docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, complete dust bag, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in a matter of minutes.
The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that mops up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at fast speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a variety of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.
For example, you can choose to have the robot do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are also excellent as the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only problem is that the robot is known to smash into walls and objects at full speed. However an inspection of the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what the robot has done, where it is going, and which obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.
The docking station has a handy LCD screen that shows the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and washing the dirty water tank. 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 run for 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base.

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 newest version. In contrast to the model of last year this one has two agitators in its mopping pad which significantly improves its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power that allows it to pull up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners could miss.
Like the two other Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to help to avoid 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 are walls or other surfaces. It can then change its path in a way that is automatic and clean around them without stumbling.
It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also the most feature-packed. Its sleek angular design is striking and comes with three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning, a mop button that doubles as a child-lock, and a home-button to bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank will empty itself and the bin auto-refilling.
The only downside I found with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required), it's a pain to take off the mount itself to wash manually. I've found any plush carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which can cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of clever features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these advanced features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor the battery's lifespan. You'll need to go through a few steps to enable voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how well-performing it is otherwise.
