Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills, staining) in one time without the need to change devices. They also can save space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bin and fill up their water tank, and machine-wash their mopping pads using the dock that is specifically designed for them.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has a lot to offer at a affordable price, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and the quick-start guide will get you up and running with a clean, complete dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in no time.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a range of brushes and attachments, and a user-friendly app that lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.
For example, you can choose to have the robot take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models can't. Its only issue is that it tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However looking at the cleaning history on the app will reveal exactly what the robot vacuums uk has done, where it is traveling, and what obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.
The docking station has a handy LCD screen that shows when maintenance is needed for cleaning up debris and washing the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of Eufy's own solution.
Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can operate for 184 mins in Quiet Mode and the vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, prior to needing to recharge or returning back to the base. The app is simple to use and intuitive, allowing you to look at every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's top best robot vacuum that mops mop and vacuum. It's not like the model from last year this one has two agitators in its mopping pad which significantly improves its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to remove small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners could miss.
This Roborock model, just like the other two I tried, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further by incorporating two cameras that can recognize objects, determining if they are walls or other surfaces. It will then automatically alter its path and clean the objects without a pause.
It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has the most features. Its sleek and angular design is eye catching, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles as a child lock, and a home-button to send the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin automatically refills.
The only issue I have found with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount for manual washing. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which could cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these advanced features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app lets you schedule cleanings and track battery life. 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.

This powerful vacuum removes dry mess, including pet hair and crumbs. It comes with a mop of high quality that cleans hard floors without the need for a pad. Additionally the X40 is very quiet during operation, only producing occasional squeaks of sound when switching modes or completing self-maintenance tasks.
Another noteworthy feature is the X40's extendable and liftable side brush that allows it to reach difficult-to-access corners as well as clean curved furniture like table and chairs' legs. It also allows the robot to reach under furniture with a low profile making it an ideal choice for small apartments and condominiums with small spaces. The side brush automatically tilts down when it spots wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that enables the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through repeated back-and-forth movements.
Unlike some other robots that only focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing mopping and vacuuming at the same time or individually. It can also be programmed to eliminate areas with carpet and mop only hard floors, or vice versa. It can be controlled via the Dreame app or by using Alexa, Siri, and Google Home for smooth voice-controlled operation.

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has many features that make it stand out. The mops come with a brand new feature called Smart DuoScrub that uses two high-speed mops to clean floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has the highest suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also vacuum up pet hair, dirt particles and remove spills and dirt-stained spots.
The mop is cleaned and dried at the base station every time they are used. This is an excellent feature because it prevents the growth of odours and mould in storage, and it also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature we haven't seen on other robot mop or 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 adjust a variety of preferences. They can be set through the app or there are direct buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options to customize the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are a lot of features that other robots do not include, such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles, instead of using the manual setting.
The L20 Ultra has a stylish design that has a white-and-metallic look that looks elegant and sophisticated. It's heavier than the other two-in-one robots on this list - at around 4kg - but it's not obscenely heavy either, and it is sturdy and well-built. The mopping system is also well-designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors or in corners. They can even extend up to 2mm baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature which is a nice feature.
