Eufy's gunmetal-and-gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuums best vacuums and mop combos available on the market. It uses lidar to navigate and create maps of floors and rooms (even multiple levels) and is compatible with the free Eufy Clean application that lets you set schedules and customize the S1's behavior.

When I tested the S1, it was able to map our downstairs, which is home to Linoleum flooring in the kitchen/dining room and bathrooms, along with medium-pile carpeting and a large area rug. It easily drove close to walls without crashing into them, and was able to drive across raised room thresholds with no problem, although it sometimes struggled to get down the stairs in one step. The S1 performed admirably in cleaning hard floors. The mop sped along on its flat side and lifted itself when it reached carpets or rugs.

Prior to each mopping session the docking station of the S1 automatically empties its dustbin and refills its water tank with filtered, clean water ozonated. The dock adds an extra-deep cleaning solution to the water. The S1 water tank can hold enough for 12 cleaning sessions, but this will differ depending on the frequency you use the mop.

Like all 2-in-1 robots the S1 requires periodic maintenance to keep it working well. You'll need to wash out the dirty tank to prevent it from becoming blocked. You will also need to clean your sensor and swivel wheel frequently to avoid them becoming blocked by dirt or dust. But, overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, particularly compared to other models which require more effort to maintain.
