15 Gifts For The Robots That Vacuum And Mop Lover In Your Life
Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that mop and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris (dust dirt, grit) and wet messes (spills and stains) in one go without the need to change devices. They can also save space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.

A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin, refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads with an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively modest price and is among the easiest 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, floor solution for hard floors and water tank in no time.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can vacuum and mop well. The mops spin at high speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, which makes short work of pet hair, dirt, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly application that lets you pick the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can request the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation technology are excellent too, with the robot being capable of detecting small obstacles that other models struggle with. The only drawback is that it is known to smash into walls and objects at a high speed. However looking at the history of cleaning on the app will reveal precisely what the robot has accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station informs you when maintenance jobs are required including emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent into the tank automatically with a 600ml of eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long running time. The mop can operate for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can run for 136 minutes in normal mode, prior to needing recharging or returning to the base. You can also view the full cleaning details in the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would like to be able to distinguish between a vacuum only or mop clean, when looking at a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra


The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular robot vacuum and mop. It's not like the model from last year, this one features an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has an improved suction capacity, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners might miss.

This Roborock model, just like the other two I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology to help it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates two cameras that can recognize objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. best automatic vacuum cleaner can then change its course automatically and clean around them, without missing a step.

It's the most expensive model I've tried and it comes with the most features. 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 take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml tank of water. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin automatically refills.

The only drawback I could find in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off for washing manually. I've found any plush 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 is equipped with a number smart features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can manage and set up these using the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor the battery's life. However, you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control on this model which is a pity considering how well it performs otherwise.

It can also get under furniture with low profile which makes it a great option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush automatically lowers itself when it spots wet spots. This is a nice feature that assists the X40 keep floors safe from damage caused by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike some other robots that only focus on one task, the X40 can do mopping and vacuuming at the same time or separately.

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models on the market. It does have many features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature on its mop heads, makes use of two high-speed mop heads to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a maximum suction force of 7,000Pa. This is higher than Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and Ecovacs Deebots T20 Omni. It can also vacuum up pet hair, small dirt particles and remove spills and dirt-stained spots.

The mops are also dried and cleaned inside the base station after each use. This is a great feature as it stops the growth of odours and mould in storage, and it also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature that we haven't seen on other robot mop and vacuum models. It could be a great method to keep your home clean longer.

There's an impressive amount of settings available, including the possibility to schedule cleaning appointments and adjust a number of different preferences. They can be set through the app or there are direct buttons on the device itself. The app is easy to use and has a lot of options for customising the cleaning routine, and there are a lot of features that other robots do not have - such as the Clean Genius mode that automatically boosts suction power when it detects dust particles rather than using a manual setting.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design with a metallic-white-white finish that looks elegant and elegant. It's a bit heavier than some of the other two-in-1 robots on this list, at 4kg - but it's not obscenely heavy, and feels robust and well built.
