Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt, grit) and wet messes (spills or staining) in one time without the need to change devices. They can also save space compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living areas.
A good 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 one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking is easy, and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time with a full dust bag, water tank and a hard floor solution.
The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can is able to clean up a storm and also vacuums well. The mops spin at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, a range of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app that lets you choose the type of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.
You could, for instance, 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 is able to detect small obstacles that other models cannot. cheap robot vacuum is that the robot is known to smash into objects and walls at full speed. However looking at the history of cleaning in the app will reveal exactly what the robot has accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles it has encountered or avoided.
A convenient LCD screen on the docking station shows the maintenance tasks that need to be done like emptying the debris tray, and washing the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank, using a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.

The app is easy to use and intuitive and lets you look at every aspect of the cleaning.
2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the latest version of Roborock's top-of-the-line robot vacuum and mop is the newest version. The model this year has a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This enhances the cleaning capabilities of carpets with this model. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction power that enables it to remove smaller hairs as well as other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.
As with the two other Roborock models I've tested, this one has reactive 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 dual cameras that can detect objects, and determine if they're walls or other surfaces. It can then change its course in a way that is automatic and clean around the objects without missing a step.

The power button, which also restarts the cleaning mop button, which 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 dustbin and 200ml water tank. The water tank is automatically filled and the bin automatically refills.
The only downside I've discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for washing manually. I've observed that any soft carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and that could cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of clever features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can configure and manage these via the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you schedule cleanings and monitor battery life. You'll need to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how well-performing it is otherwise.
