robots that vacuum and Mop (metooo.co.uk)

Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one go, without having to switch between devices. They can also help save space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good robot vacuum combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its relatively modest price, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in no time at all.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops spin at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a range of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you could opt for the robot to clean up the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models can't. Its only minor issue 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 will tell you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and what obstacles it's avoided.

A handy 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's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time as well, with the mop being capable of running for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. You can also view the full cleaning details in the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend however we would like to be able to differentiate between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a clean area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's top robot vacuum and mop. The model this year has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This increases the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power which allows it to pull up finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.

Like the two other Roborock models I've tested, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things a step further by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and decide whether they are a wall or another surface. It can then automatically change its path and clean the objects without a pause.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, however, it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek, angular design is eye catching and only has 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 that can take the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin auto-refills.

The only issue I have discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if it's required), it's a pain to take off the mount to wash manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these smart features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, monitor battery life and component maintenance. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is a pity considering the quality of its performance.

This is a great feature that helps the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through the frequent back-and-forth movement.

In contrast to other robots that are limited to one task, the X40 can mop and vacuum at the same time. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors and skip carpeted areas or reverse the process.

The app lets you set these preferences or utilize the buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and has a lot of options to customize the cleaning process, and there are a lot of functions that other robots don't have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles instead of using the manual setting.
