Robots That Vacuum And Mop: What No One Has Discussed
Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one go and without the need to switch devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has a lot to offer at a low cost, and it's one of the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and an easy-to-follow guide will have you running with a clean, complete dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.
Best robot vacuum cleaner UK is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. The mops spin at high speed and use 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a range of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you choose the exact kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.
For example, you can opt for the robot to take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and its smart navigation technology are superb and the robot is capable of detecting small 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 looking at the history of cleaning in the app will tell you precisely what the robot has done, where it is moving, and what obstacles it has encountered or avoided.
Best robot vacuum cleaner UK on the docking station tells you when maintenance tasks must be completed like emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of Eufy's own solution.
Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop is able to run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last 136 mins in standard mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base. You can view the full cleaning details in the app, which is clearly laid out and easily understood, though we would like to be able to distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at a clean area in the history of cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and mop. In contrast to the model of last year it comes with an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to remove small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners might miss.
This Roborock model, just like the other two models I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it avoid obstacles such as furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes dual cameras that can detect objects, and determine if they are walls or other surfaces. It can then change its direction automatically and clean around the objects without stumbling.
It's the most expensive model I've tested and it comes with the most features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching, and it only has three physical buttons. The power button, which restarts the cleaning mop button, which doubles up as a child-lock and a home button to send the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find the 350ml dust bin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin is auto-refilling.
The only drawback I could find in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's not easy to take the mount off to wash it manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mount, which can cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart capabilities that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these advanced features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor the battery's life. You'll have to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame considering the performance otherwise.

Additionally the X40 is extremely quiet during operation, only producing occasional squeaks of sound when switching between modes or performing self-maintenance tasks.
Another noteworthy feature is the X40's expandable and liftable side brush which lets it get into hard-to-reach corners and intimately clean furniture such as table and chairs' legs. It also allows the robot to get under furniture with a low profile making it an ideal option for apartments or condominiums with small spaces. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that helps the X40 to prevent damage to floors from excessive back-and forth movements.
Unlike other robots, which are limited to one task, the X40 can vacuum and mop at the same time. It can be programmed to only mop the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, and vice versa. Suggested Site can be controlled via the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.

4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available on the market. However, it has several characteristics that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature on its mop heads, makes use of two mop heads that are high-speed to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is significantly higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can vacuum up pet hair and smaller dirt particles in addition to removing spills and wet spots.
The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station every time they are used. This is a great feature as it keeps mould and unpleasant odours from accumulating in the storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuums and mop models and could be a good method of keeping your home hygienic for longer.
There are a lot of choices, including the possibility to schedule cleanings and change preferences. These can be set via the app or there are buttons that can be found on the unit itself. The app is easy to use and provides a variety of options for customizing the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are a lot of features that other robots don't include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles instead of using the manual setting.
The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a metallic-white-white finish that looks elegant and elegant. It's heavier than the other two-in-one robots on this list - at around 4kg however it's not overly heavy either, and it feels robust and well built. The mopping system is also well-designed and the double-rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them reach up to 2mm below baseboards.
