Robots That Vacuum and Mop

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

A good combination bot must be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacles avoidance. Look for models with docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide will have you up and running in no time with a full dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that cleans up a mess and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at fast speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a range of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app that lets you pick the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For example, you can choose to have the robot take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models cannot. Its only issue is that the robot cleaner is known to smash into objects and walls at full speed. However looking at the history of cleaning in the app will show you exactly what the robot accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs must be completed like emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank, using a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time and the mop is capable of operating for 184 minutes in Quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. And you can see the complete cleaning details within the app, which is well laid out and is easy to comprehend however we would like to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop, is the newest version. This year's model has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This improves the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has an improved suction capacity, allowing it to pick up fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners could be unable to pick up.

As with the other two Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates two cameras that can recognize objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It then can alter its direction in a way that is automatic and clean around the objects, without missing a step.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek, angular design is striking, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also resumes the cleaning mop button, which doubles as a child lock, and a home-button to send the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin auto vacuum and mop-refills.

The only negative I discovered with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed) but it's a challenge to take off the mount to wash it manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot vacuum that mops touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mount, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can configure and manage these via the Roborock app which is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery's life. You'll need to jump through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a market leader with its innovative features, top suction power, and advanced mowing abilities. Its innovative design allows for customised and efficient cleaning while saving you time.

The X40 is the first robotic hoovers vacuum cleaner to deliver 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which easily makes it one of the top options available. This powerful vacuum can clean up pet hair, crumbs and other dry mess. It also has a high-quality mop that makes hard floors sparkling clean, even without a wet pad. Additionally, the X40 is extremely quiet during its operation, with only occasional bursts of noise when switching modes or completing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 also has a side brush that can be lifted and extended. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean furniture with curved edges such as table and chair legs. The robot is also able to reach under furniture that is low-profile which makes it an ideal choice for small apartments or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it spots wet spots. This is a great feature that allows the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through excessive back-and forth movements.

Unlike other robots, which 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 not skip carpeted areas, and vice versa. It can be controlled via the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operation.

The app is user-friendly and easy to use and the X40's intelligent features are a breeze to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, adjust suction power and mode, see mapping and floor plans, 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 offers many convenient features, making it a perfect choice for busy families. The docking station can automatically cleans the dustbin and mop pads before refilling them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also detect whether the mop pad is at its capacity to the max and notify you of the situation before it overflows.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot that's one of the most expensive models available however, it comes with many additional features that set it apart. Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. It utilizes two mops that are high-speed to clean floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and it comes with a high maximum suction power of 7,000Pa. This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, dirt particles, and clean up spills and dirt-stained spots.

The mop mops are cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used. This is an excellent feature since it prevents the build-up of odours and mould in the storage area, and it also makes the mop system a lot more efficient. This is an option we haven't seen before on other robot mop or vacuum models. It could be a great way to keep your home clean longer.

There's an impressive amount of settings on offer which include the possibility to schedule cleaning appointments and adjust a number of different preferences. These can be set via the app or direct buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options for customizing the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are a lot of functions that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles, rather than using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a metallic-white-white finish that looks elegant and elegant. It's a bit heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots listed on this list but it's not a lot of weight. It feels solid and well-constructed. The mopping system is well designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to reach up to 2mm below baseboards.
