Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that mop and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris (dust dirt) and wet mess (spills and stains) in one session without the need to change devices. They also can save space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its affordable price, and it's one of the easiest robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide will have you up and running in no time with an entire dust bag, water tank, and hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops spin at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a range of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For example, you can decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation tech are also excellent as the robot is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. Its only drawback is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but an instant glance at the cleaning history in the app will tell you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.

The docking station comes with a handy LCD screen that indicates the need for maintenance like emptying the debris and washing the water tank that is dirty. It also mixes detergent into the water tank automatically by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop can run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can last 136 mins in normal mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. And you can see the complete cleaning details within the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would have liked to be able to distinguish between a automatic vacuum cleaner and mop only or mop clean, when looking at a clean area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's flagship robot vacuums with mop vacuum and mop, is the most up-to-date version. This year's model has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners may miss.

This Roborock model, like the other two models I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it avoid obstacles such as furniture, walls, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating dual cameras that can detect objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its path and clean them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek and angular design is striking and only has three physical buttons: the power button, which also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can bring the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin fills up automatically.

The only downside I've discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if necessary) but it's a challenge to take off the mount to wash manually. I've found that any plush carpet that the robot passes will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and track the battery's lifespan. However, you'll have to go through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is unfortunate considering the performance of this model.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a leader in the industry with innovative features, superior suction power and cutting-edge mopping capabilities. Its innovative design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while saving you time.

The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first to feature 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is one of the most powerful choices available. This powerful vacuum can clean up the dry mess, which includes pet hair and crumbs. It also comes with a high-quality mop that leaves floors spotlessly clean, even without a wet pad. The X40 is also very quiet while in use with only occasional bursts during modes changes or self-maintenance.

The X40 has an additional side brush that can be extended and lifted. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean furniture that is curved like chairs and table legs. The robot is also able to reach under furniture that is low-profile which makes it an ideal option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that helps the X40 to prevent damage to floors from repeated back-and-forth movements.

In contrast to other robots that are restricted to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum at the same time. It can also be programmed to eliminate areas with carpets and mop only hard floors, and vice versa. It can be controlled via the Dreame app or via Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for a seamless voice-controlled operation.

The app is easy to use and understand, and the X40 is equipped with many clever features that are easy to set up. Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It can also be adjusted to adjust suction power, switch modes, view maps and floor plans, and control mopping settings. The X40 will also monitor its progress and notify you when it's done.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with many convenient features, making it an ideal option for busy families. The docking station will automatically cleans the dustbin and the mop pads and refill them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also tell when the mop pad is full and alert you before it overflows, reducing the need for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra is a high-end robot vacuum cleaners reviews that is among the most expensive models available, but it packs in numerous additional features that distinguish it from. Smart DuoScrub, a new feature in its mop, utilizes two mop heads with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is much higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can clean pet hair and other small dirt particles - as well as picking up spills and wet spots.

The mop is also dried and cleaned inside the base station after every use. This is a great feature as it stops the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and it also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature we haven't yet seen on other robot mop vacuums and mop models and could be a great method to keep your home clean for longer.

There are a lot of options, including the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. These settings can be adjusted via the app or there are direct buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options to customize the cleaning routine, and there are numerous features that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles instead of relying on the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on the market, with a white and metallic design that looks classy and sophisticated. It is a little heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots on this listing but it's not too heavy. It feels solid and well-constructed. The mopping system is also well-designed, and the double rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
