Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of removing dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills, staining) in one time without having to swap out devices. They also can save space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads with an appropriate dock.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start manual gets you running in no time with an entire dust bag, water tank and a hard floor.
The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you choose the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.
You could, for instance request the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models cannot. The only drawback is that it is known to smash into walls and objects at a high speed. However, a quick look at the history of cleaning on the app will reveal exactly what the robot has done, where it is moving, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.
The docking station features a handy LCD screen that shows the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and rinsing the dirty water tank. good robot vacuum is also able to mix detergent into the water tank automatically with a 600ml of eufy solution.
Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop is able to run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last for 136 minutes in standard mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base. The app is simple to use and intuitive that lets you see all the details of the 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 of this year features two agitators built into its mopping pad. This increases the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an enhanced suction power that enables it to pull up smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners may miss.
This Roborock model, like the other two I tried is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by adding a dual camera which can detect objects and decide whether they're an object that is a wall or a different surface. It then can alter its path automatically and clean the objects without missing a step.
It's the most expensive model I've tried however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek and angular design is striking and comes with three physical buttons. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning process mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles up as a child-lock and a home button to send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank will empty itself, and the bin is auto-refilling.
The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed) but it's a challenge to take off the mount itself to wash it manually. 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, which can cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of intelligent features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can set up and manage these through the Roborock app that is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, monitor the battery life and maintain your components. But you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to allow voice control with this model which is a pity considering the quality of its performance.
3. Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop equipped with outstanding suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its intelligent design allows for customized and efficient cleaning while also saving time.
The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first one to provide 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is among the most powerful options available. This powerful vacuum can clear up pet hair as well as crumbs and other dry messes. It also comes with a high-quality mop that leaves hard floors spotlessly clean, even without a wet pad. Additionally, the X40 is quiet in its operation, with only occasional bursts of noise when switching modes or completing self-maintenance tasks.
The X40 also comes with an additional side brush that can be extended and lifted. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean curved furniture like table and chair legs. It also allows the robot to access low-profile furniture which makes it a great option for smaller apartments and condominiums with small spaces. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that enables the X40 to avoid damaging floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.
In contrast to other robots that are restricted to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum at the same time. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors and skip carpeted areas or 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 easy to use and understand The X40 has many smart features that are simple to configure. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times. They can also adjust suction power, alter modes, look at maps and floor plans, and manage mopping setting. The X40 can also track its progress and inform you when it's finished.
The X40 is easy to maintain and has many convenient features that make it an excellent choice for busy families. The docking station will automatically empty the dustbin, and clean mop pads before refilling them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also tell when the mop pad is full and alert you before it overflows, thus reducing the need for manual maintenance.
4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. However, it has several features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub is a brand new feature in its mop heads, makes use of two mop heads with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, dirt particles and remove spills and dirt-stained spots.
The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station each time they are used. This is a fantastic feature as it stops the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and it also makes mop systems more efficient. This is a feature that 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 ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust a number of different preferences. The app allows you to make these settings or you can use the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and provides a number of options to customize your cleaning routine. It also has several features that aren't available on other robots, like the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects dust particles.
The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on market, sporting metallic and white design that is elegant and stylish. It is a little heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots on this listing, but it's still not too heavy. It feels solid and well-built. 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 even 2mm below the baseboards.
