Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet messes in one session, without having to switch devices. They also can save storage space compared to having two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bins and fill up their water tank, and wash their mopping pads using the dock that is specifically designed for them.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide gets you up and running in no time. You'll have a the complete dust bag, water tank and hard floor solution.
The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that mops up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly app that lets you pick the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.
For instance, you can choose to have the robot take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen areas but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to detect small obstacles that other models cannot. Its only drawback is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However, an instant glance at the history of cleaning in the app tells you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.
The docking station features an LCD display that shows the need for maintenance like emptying the debris and washing the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent into the tank automatically, using a 600ml eufy solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time, with the mop capable of operating for 184 minutes in Quiet mode and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is simple to use and intuitive and lets you see every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's flagship robot vacuum and mop, is the most up-to-date version. The model of this year features a double agitator 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 remove small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners may overlook.
The Roborock model, just like the other two models I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls, and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by having a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they're an object that is a wall or a different surface. It then can alter its path automatically and clean around them without missing a step.
This is the most expensive of the three models I've examined, however, it's also the most packed with features. Its sleek, angular design is striking and has just three physical buttons that include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock and a home button to return the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin is auto-refilling.
The only negative I discovered with this model was that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. You can replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for washing manually. breaking news '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 is equipped with a range of smart features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor the battery's life. You'll need to jump through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how efficient it is otherwise.
3. Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum and mop with incredible suction power, sophisticated mowing capabilities, and innovative features. Its innovative design lets users to tailor and effectively clean while saving time.
The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first one to provide 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is among the most powerful alternatives available. This powerful vacuum is able to clean up pet hair, crumbs and other dry messes. It comes with a mop of top quality that cleans hard floors without using a pad. In addition the X40 is quiet in operation, only producing occasional squeaks of sound when switching between modes or when completing self-maintenance tasks.
The X40 also comes with a side brush that is able to be extended and lifted. This allows it to reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean curved furniture such as table and chair legs. The robot can also reach under low-profile furnishings which makes it a great choice for small apartments or condos. The side brush also automatically tilts down when detecting wet spots. This is a nice feature that helps the X40 avoid damaging floors with excessive back-and-forth movements.
Unlike some other robots that only focus on one thing, the X40 can do mopping and vacuuming at the same time or separately. It can also be programmed to avoid areas with carpet and mop only hard floors, and vice versa. It can be controlled by the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operation.
The app is simple to use and intuitive The X40 is equipped with many clever features that are easy to set up. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, adjust suction power and mode, look at floor plans and mapping, and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also track its progress and notify you when it's finished.
The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with numerous features that make it a great option for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the dustbin, and clean the mop pads, then refill them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It also can detect whether the mop pad is at its capacity to the max and alert you to the situation before it overflows.
4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available on the market. It has many features that make it stand out. The mops come with a brand new feature called Smart DuoScrub that utilizes two mops that are high-speed to clean floors more thoroughly than the standard method, and it comes with an impressive suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also remove pet hair, dirt particles and remove spills and dirty spots.
The mops are also dried and cleaned inside the base station after every use. This is a fantastic feature since it prevents the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and it also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen on other robot mop and vacuum models. It could be a great way to keep your home cleaner longer.
There's a wealth of settings on offer which include the possibility to schedule cleaning appointments and alter a variety of preferences. The app allows you to make these settings or you can make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options to customize the cleaning process, and there are a lot of functions that other robots don't include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power when it detects dust particles, instead of relying on a manual setting.
The L20 Ultra has a stylish design that has a white-and-metallic look that looks elegant and sophisticated. It's a bit heavier than the other two-in-1 robots on this list, at 4kg but it's not too heavy, and feels sturdy and well-built. Mopping is well-designed and the double-rotating mop works well on hard floors or in corners. They can also extend up to 2mm of baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice addition.
