The 10 Most Scariest Things About Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning dry debris and wet mess in one time, without having to switch 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 obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bins, refill their water tank, and machine-wash their mopping pads using an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's among the easiest robots to install that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start manual can get you up and running in no time. You'll have a the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at fast speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a range of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.

For instance, you can decide to let the robot vacuum cleaner best take care of a thorough clean-up in the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation technology are also excellent, with the robot vacuum best being capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only minor issue is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but an instant glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and what obstacles it's avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance tasks are required like emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the 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 vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time as well, with the mop being able to operate for 184 minutes in Quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. And you can see the entire cleaning information in the app, which is well laid out and is easy to comprehend however we would have liked to be able distinguish between a vacuum and mop clean, when examining a cleaned area in the cleaning history.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and mop. The model this year has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This improves the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic hoovers cleaners might miss.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that helps it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by having a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It will then automatically alter its direction and clean them without skipping a beat.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed but it's also packed with features. Its sleek, angular design is eye-catching and it has only three physical buttons: the power button, which can also restart cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can send the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml tank of water. The water tank self-empties and the bin auto-refilling.

The only issue I encountered to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if necessary), it's a pain to take off the mount to wash manually. I've found any plush carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app lets you manage and set up these smart features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app also lets you to schedule cleanings, monitor battery life and component maintenance. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to enable voice control on this model, which is a shame considering the performance of this model.

This powerful vacuum can clean up the dry mess, which includes pet hair and dust. It also comes with a top-quality mop that leaves floors sparkling clean, even with a wet pad. The X40 is also very quiet while in use, with only occasional bursts during modes changes or self-maintenance.

The X40 also has a side brush that can be extended and lifted. This allows it to reach into corners that are hard to reach and clean furniture with curved edges such as table and chair legs. The robot can also reach under furniture with low profile which makes it a great option for apartments with small spaces or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it detects wet spots. This is a nice feature that enables the X40 to prevent damage to floors from repeated back-and-forth movements.

Contrary to other robots which only focus on one task, the X40 can perform both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously or in a series. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, and vice versa. It can be controlled through the Dreame app or with Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for a seamless voice-controlled operation.

The app is simple and easy to use, and the X40's smart features are a breeze to set up. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, alter suction power and mode, look at floor plans and maps and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also monitor its progress and inform you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy to keep clean and has many features which make it a good choice for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the trash bin into a 3.2 L bin, cleans the mop pads, then refills them with fresh water and cleaning solution. It can also detect whether the mop pad is at its capacity to the max and alert you to the situation before it spills.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models on the market. It does have many characteristics that make it stand out. The mops are equipped with a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. This utilizes two mops that are high-speed to scrub floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and has an impressive suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, dirt particles, and clean up spills and dirt-stained spots.

Its mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after each use. This is a great feature because it prevents mould and unpleasant odours from building up in the storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a system we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuums and mop models, and it could be a good method of keeping your home cleaner for longer.

There's a plethora of settings available, including the ability to schedule cleaning times and alter a variety of preferences. The app lets you make these settings or use the buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and offers many options for customizing the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are a lot of features that other robots do not have - such as 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 fashionable robots we've seen on market, with a white and metallic design that looks classy and sophisticated. It's a little heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list - at around 4kg but it's not too heavy, and it feels sturdy and well-built. The mopping is also well-designed and the double-rotating mop is great for hard floors as well as in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them reach even 2mm below the baseboards.
