Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and clean offer the convenience of cleaning both dry and wet messes in one time without the need to switch devices. They also can save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, fill their water tanks and wash the mopping pads.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It's one of the easiest robots to set up that we've tested. Unpacking is easy and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time. It comes with an entire dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.
The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that is able to clean up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops are spun at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, as well as a selection of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app which lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.
For instance, you can, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly but leave the spare bedroom alone. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models cannot. web page is that the robot 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 moving, and what obstacles he has run into or avoided.
A handy LCD screen on the docking station shows the maintenance tasks that are required like emptying the debris tray, and cleaning the dirty water tank. It is also able to mix detergent into the water tank automatically with a 600ml of eufy solution.
Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop can run for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last 136 mins in standard mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base. You can also view the entire cleaning information in the app, which is clearly laid out and easily understood although we would like to be able distinguish between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a clean 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. In contrast to the model of last year, this one features two agitators in its mopping pad which significantly improves its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has an improved suction capacity, allowing it to pick up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners might miss.
As with the two other Roborock models I've tried, this one has reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by having a dual camera that can recognize objects and determine whether they are an object that is a wall or a different surface. It can then automatically change its direction and clean the objects without a pause.
This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also the most packed with features. Its sleek, angular style is eye-catching and it has only three physical buttons that include the power button which also resumes cleaning; a mop-only button that doubles as a child lock; and a home button that can bring the robot back to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid, you will find the 350ml dust bin as well as a 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin automatically refills.
The only downside I've discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. While you can swap out the mopping cloth (if it's required), it's a pain to remove the mount itself to wash manually. I've observed that any soft carpet the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which could cause scratches.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of intelligent features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor the battery life and maintain your components. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops in order to allow voice control with this model which is a pity considering the performance of this model.
3. Dreame X40
The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is a market leader with innovative features, superior suction power and cutting-edge mowing abilities. Its smart design allows users to tailor and effectively clean while reducing time.
The X40 robot vacuum cleaner is the first one to provide 12,000 Pascals cleaning power. It is one of the most powerful choices available. This powerful vacuum can clear up pet hair dust, crumbs and any other dry debris. It also has a high-quality mop that leaves hard floors sparkling clean, even with a wet pad. The X40 is also extremely quiet while in use, with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.
The X40 also comes with a side brush that can be extended and lifted. This lets it reach into corners that are difficult to reach and clean curved furniture such as table and chair legs. It also allows the robot to access furniture with a low profile which makes it a great option for smaller apartments and condos with tight spaces. The side brush tilts automatically down when it spots wet spots. This is a great feature that helps the X40 to prevent damage to floors from excessive back-and forth movements.
Unlike other robots, which are limited to a single task, the X40 can mop and vacuum at the same time. It can also be programmed to skip areas that have carpet and only mop hard floors or vice versa. It can be controlled by the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure that voice-controlled operations are smooth and easy.
The app is easy to use and understand and the X40 has many smart features that are simple to configure. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, adjust suction power and mode, view floor plans and mapping, and manage mopping settings. The X40 will also monitor its progress, and alert you when it is finished.
The X40 is easy-to-maintain and offers numerous convenient features, making it a perfect option for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the dustbin into a huge 3.2 L bin, washes the mop pads, and refills them with fresh water and cleaning solution. It also can detect when the mop pad is overflowing and alert you before it overflows, thus reducing the necessity for manual maintenance.
4. L20 Ultra
The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. However, it has a number of characteristics that make it stand out. Its mops have a new feature called Smart DuoScrub. This uses two high-speed mops to clean floors more thoroughly than the conventional method, and it has a high maximum suction power of 7,000Pa. This is much higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can remove pet hair and other small dirt particles - as well as picking up spills and wet spots.
The mops are also cleaned and dried inside the base station after each use. This is a fantastic feature as it stops the build-up of odours and mould in the storage area, and it also makes mop systems more efficient. This is a feature we've yet to see on other robot vacuums and mop models, and it could be a good way of keeping your home cleaner for longer.
There are many options, including the ability to schedule cleanings and change preferences. The app lets you define these preferences, or you can use the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and has many options to customize your cleaning routine. It also offers many features that aren't offered on other robots, such as the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction whenever it detects dust particles.
The L20 Ultra is also one of the most elegant robots we've seen on market, with a white and metallic design that looks classy and sophisticated. It's a bit heavier than the other two-in-one robots in this list - at 4kg however it's not overly heavy, and feels robust and well built. Mopping is also well-designed, and the double rotating mop is great for hard floors as well as in corners. The MopExtend feature allows them to extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
