robots that Vacuum and mop (https://finfinmaru.hatenadiary.com/iframe/hatena_bookmark_comment?canonical_uri=https://robotvacuummops.uk)
Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry and wet messes in one time and without the need to switch between devices. They also can save space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good robot vacuum combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models with docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks and wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's among the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at fast speeds and exert 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, as well as a selection of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.
You can, for example request the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom to itself. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models cannot. Its only drawback is that it tends to crash into walls and objects at full speed. However, a quick glance at the history of cleaning in the app tells you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.
The docking station comes with an LCD display that shows when maintenance is needed like emptying the debris and rinsing the dirty water tank. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.
Both the S1 Pro auto vacuum and mop and mop have plenty of run-time and the mop is capable of running for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode, while the vacuum is can last for 136 minutes in normal mode, before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is simple to use and intuitive that lets you look at every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's top robot mop and vacuum. In contrast to the model of last year, this one features a double agitator in its mopping pad, which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that allows it to remove smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaners might miss.
As with the other two Roborock models I've tested it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining if they're walls or other surfaces. It is able to change its course in a way that is automatic and clean around them without missing a step.
This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also the most feature-packed. Its sleek and angular design is striking and only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning process mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles as a child-lock and a home button to bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin automatically refills.
The only issue I have discovered with this model is that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount for washing manually. I've found any plush carpet that the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on mounts, which could cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features that include support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app lets you manage and set up these smart features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery's lifespan. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control with this model which is a pity considering the quality of its performance.
3. Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 is an industry-leading robot vacuum mop cleaner robot and mop equipped with outstanding suction power, advanced mowing capabilities, and a variety of innovative features. Its clever design permits personalized and efficient cleaning, while also saving time.

This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean furniture with curved edges like chairs and table legs. It also lets the robot cleaner with mop to reach under furniture that is low-profile which makes it a great option for smaller apartments and condos with tight spaces. The side brush also automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots, which is a nice touch that assists the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It does have a number of features that make it stand out. The mops come with a brand new feature called Smart DuoScrub. It makes use of two mops with high-speed motors to scrub floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has a high maximum suction power of 7,000Pa. This is more than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can vacuum up pet hair and other small dirt particles and also pick up spills and wet spots.
The mops are cleaned and dried in the base station each time they are used. This is a fantastic feature as it stops the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in the storage area, and it also makes mop systems more efficient. It's a system that we haven't yet seen on other robot vacuum and mop models and it could be a useful method of keeping your home hygienic for longer.
There are plenty of options, including the option to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. The app lets you make these settings or you can make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has many options to customize your cleaning routine. It also comes with several features that aren't offered on other robots, such as the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects dust particles.
The L20 Ultra is also one of the most fashionable robots we've seen on the market, with metallic and white colors that is elegant and stylish. It's a bit heavier at 4kg than the other robots listed on this list however it's not excessively heavy. It feels solid and well-constructed. The mopping system is also well designed and the double-rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. They can also extend to 2mm of baseboards due to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice feature.
