When I tried the S1, it was able to identify the downstairs area, which has linoleum flooring in the kitchen-diner and bathrooms, plus medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It was able to drive close to walls and even cross raised thresholds without any problems. However, it had some difficulty getting down the stairs in one go. The S1 did a good robot vacuum job cleaning hard floors. Its mop moved smoothly on its flat side and lifted itself when it came to carpets or carpets.

The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and replenishes its water tank onboard with clean, ozonated waters prior to each mopping session. The dock also adds a cleaning solution into the water for deep cleaning. The S1 water tank is able to hold up to 12 mopping sessions, however it will differ based on how often you use the mop.

The S1 requires regular maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. In order to do this, you'll have to wash the dirty water tank occasionally to keep it from becoming clogged. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to prevent them from getting clogged by dirt or dust. However, overall the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other combos that require more hands-on maintenance.
