Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and mop provide the convenience of removing dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills, stains) in one go without the need to switch out devices. They can also reduce space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
cheap robot vacuum cleaner will have excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin, refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads with the dock that is specifically designed for them.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean and complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in no time at all.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of pet hair, dirt and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a variety of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room.
For instance, you could 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's front colision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb as the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. Its only drawback is that it can crash into walls and objects at full speed. However, an instant glance at the history of cleaning in the app will tell you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading and the obstacles it's avoided.
The docking station has a handy LCD screen that indicates when maintenance is needed, such as emptying debris and cleaning the dirty water tank. It also mixes detergent into the tank by itself by using a 600ml eufy solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time, with the mop able to operate for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in normal mode, before having to recharge or return to the base to replenish. And you can see the full cleaning details in the app, which is well laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would have liked to be able to distinguish between a mop only vacuum and mop clean, when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's top robot vacuum and mop. It's not like the model from last year it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities.

As with the two other Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that help it avoid furniture, walls 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 are an object that is a wall or a different surface. It can then automatically change its path and clean around the objects without a pause.
It's the most expensive of the three models I've examined, but it's also the most packed with features. Its sleek and angular design is attractive and it has only three physical buttons which include the power button which also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock; and a home button that can return the robot to its dock. robot vacuum cleaner cheap hinged lid can be lifted to reveal 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank self-empties and the bin auto-filling.
The only issue I have discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. You can replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off to wash it manually. I've observed that any carpet that the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mount, which can cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can configure and manage these using the Roborock app, which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you schedule cleanings and track the battery's life. You'll need to go through a few steps to enable voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.
