The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt) and wet mess (spills or stains) in one session without the need to switch out devices. They can also save space 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 have docks that let them automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you running with a clean and complete dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in no time at all.

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that is able to clean up a storm and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at fast speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, making short work of pet hair, dirt and dried sticky spills. The vacuum has four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app that lets you pick the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can choose to have the robot clean up the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are excellent too as the robot is capable of detecting small obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only minor issue is that it can crash into walls and objects at full speed - but just a 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 has an LCD display that displays when maintenance is needed for cleaning up debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent into the water tank by itself by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time as well, with the mop being able to operate for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in normal mode before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. You can also view the full cleaning details in the app, which is well laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would like to be able distinguish between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's most popular robot vacuum and mop, is the most up-to-date version. It's not like the model from last year this one has two agitators in its mopping pad which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that enables it to pick up smaller hairs and other particles other robotic cleaners might miss.

As with the two other Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which helps it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by having a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they're a wall or another type of surface. It then can alter its direction in a way that is automatic vacuum cleaner and mop and clean around them without stumbling.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also loaded with features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching and comes with three physical buttons. The power button, which resumes the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can send the robot hoover and mop to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank self-empties and the bin is auto-refilling.

The only downside I've discovered with this model was that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. You can replace the mopping cloth if needed, but it's difficult to take the mount off for washing manually. I've found that any plush carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of clever features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app lets you manage and set up these advanced features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life and component maintenance. You'll have to go through a series of steps 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 best robot vacuum that mops vacuum and mop that has outstanding suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its intelligent design allows users to tailor and effectively clean while saving time.

The X40 is the first robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum cleaner to provide 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which easily makes it one of the most effective options available. This powerful vacuum can clean up the dry mess, which includes pet hair and food particles. It has a mop of excellent quality that can clean hard floors without the use of pads. In addition, the X40 is very quiet during it's operation, producing only occasional bursts of noise when switching between modes or performing self-maintenance tasks.

The X40 also has a side brush that is able to be lifted and extended. This allows it to reach into corners that are hard to reach and clean furniture with curved edges such as table and chair legs. It also allows the robot to get under low-profile furniture, making it a great option for apartments or condos with tight spaces. The side brush also automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots, which is a nice feature that helps the X40 avoid damaging floors with repeated back-andforth movements.

Unlike some other robots that solely focus on one task, the X40 can perform both vacuuming and mopping at the same time or in a series. It can also be programmed to skip areas with carpets and mop only hard floors or vice versa. It can be controlled using the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operation.

The app is easy to use and understand The X40 has many smart features that are easy to configure. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, adjust suction power and mode, see floor plans and maps and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also track its progress and notify you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy to clean and has numerous convenient features, making it a great option for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the dustbin into a huge 3.2 L bin, cleans mop pads and refills them with clean water and cleaning solution. It also can detect when the mop pad is full and notify you when it gets overflowing, reducing the requirement for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available on the market. However, it has many characteristics that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature of its mop, utilizes two mop heads with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a suction force of 7,000Pa. This is significantly higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can clean pet hair and smaller dirt particles - and also pick up 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 that can build up in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature we haven't seen in other robot mop and vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home clean longer.

There are many options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. They can be set through the app, or via direct buttons on the unit itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options for customising the cleaning routine, and there are many functions that other robots don't include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles, rather than using an individual setting.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on the market, with metallic and white colors that looks classy and sophisticated. It is a little heavier at 4kg than some of the other robots listed on this list, but it's still not excessively heavy. It feels solid and well-built. The mopping system is also well designed, and the double rotating mop works well on hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them reach even 2mm below the baseboards.
