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 session without the need to switch between devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer at a affordable price and is among the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you running with a clean and complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. The mops are spun at high speed and use 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, as well as a selection of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app which lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.

For instance, you can decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models are unable to. Its only minor issue is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed. However, a quick glance at the cleaning history 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 has a handy LCD screen that indicates when maintenance is needed like emptying the debris and rinsing the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, by using a 600ml bottle filled with Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop can run for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last for 136 minutes in standard mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. And you can see the full cleaning details in the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend, though we would have liked to be able to distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum 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 most popular robot mop and vacuum. This year's model has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This increases the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners may miss.

The Roborock model, just like the other two I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it overcome obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes a dual-camera that can identify objects, and determine if they're walls or other surfaces. It then can automatically alter its path and clean them without skipping a beat.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also the most packed with features. Its sleek, angular design is striking and has only three physical buttons which include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock and a home button to return the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin auto-refills.

The only negative I found with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if needed), it's a pain to take off the mount to wash manually. I've found any plush carpet that the robot cleaner with mop touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mount, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number smart features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can manage and set up these via the Roborock app that is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and track the battery's life. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops to allow voice control with this model which is unfortunate considering the performance of this model.
