Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that mop and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris (dust dirt) and wet messes (spills or stains) in one time without the need to change devices. They can also save space in comparison to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.
A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bins, refill their water tank, and machine-wash their mopping pads using a dedicated dock.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has plenty to offer for its affordable price, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start guide can get you up and running in no time with a full dust bag, water tank, and hard floor solution.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops are spun at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to remove dirt, pet hair and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you pick the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.
For instance, you can ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the 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 detect small obstacles that other models can't. Its only minor issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at a high speed, but just a glance at the cleaning history within the app will show you exactly what it's doing and where it's headed and what obstacles it's avoided.
The docking station features a handy LCD screen that shows the time when maintenance is required, such as emptying debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It can also mix detergent automatically into the water tank, with a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.
Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can operate for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode and the vacuum can last 136 mins in normal mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base. The app is simple to use and intuitive that lets you view every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's flagship robot vacuum and mop, is the newest version. The model this year has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This enhances the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pick up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners could overlook.
This Roborock model, 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. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further 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 will then automatically alter its path and clean around the objects without a pause.
It's the most expensive model I've tried and it comes with the most features. Its sleek angular design is striking, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which restarts the cleaning mop function, a button for cleaning that doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can send the robot to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find the 350ml dust bin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin is auto-refilling.
The only downside I've discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's not easy to remove the mount for washing manually. I've found that any plush carpet the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and could cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number intelligent features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app lets you manage and configure these advanced features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery life and maintain your components. You'll need to go through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.

The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first to feature 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is one of the most powerful alternatives available.

It also lets the robot to access low-profile furniture, making it a great choice for small apartments and condominiums with small spaces. The side brush also automatically swivels downwards when it detects wet spots, which is a nice feature that assists the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by the frequent back-and-forth movement.
Contrary to other robots which only focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping at the same time or separately. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, and reverse the process. It can be controlled using the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.
The app is user-friendly and simple to use, and the X40's smart features are a breeze to set up. Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It is also possible to alter suction power, alter modes, view floor plans and maps and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also monitor its progress and notify you when it's done.
The X40 is easy to clean and has many convenient features, making it a perfect choice for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the dustbin into a large 3.2 L bin, cleans mop pads and refills them with clean water and a cleaning solution. It also can detect the moment when the mop pad has reached its maximum capacity and alert you to the situation before it spills.
4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has several features that make it stand out. Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub that utilizes two mops that are high-speed to scrub floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and it comes with the highest suction power of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also clean pet hair, dirt particles, and clean up spills and dirt-stained spots.
The mops are cleaned and dried at the base station each time they are used. This is a great feature because it stops mould and unpleasant odours that can build up in storage. It also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a system we've yet to see on other robot vacuums and mop models and could be a useful way of keeping your home clean for longer.
There are a lot of options, including the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust preferences. The app allows you to make these settings or make use of the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has a lot of options for customizing the cleaning process, and there are numerous features that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles, instead of relying on the manual setting.
The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a metallic-white-white finish that looks elegant and sophisticated. It's a bit heavier than the other two-in-one robots on this list, at 4kg however it's not overly heavy either, and it feels sturdy and well-built. automated vacuum cleaner mopping design is also excellent and the double-rotating mops work well on hard floors as well as in corners. They can even extend to 2mm baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature, which is a nice addition.
