The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that vacuum and mop offer the convenience of removing dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills and staining) in one time without the need to change devices. They also can save space in comparison to two separate units, particularly in smaller living areas.

A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bins, refill their water tank, and wash their mopping pads from an appropriate dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and an easy-to-follow guide will have you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, hard floor solution and water tank in no time at all.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can mops up a storm and vacuums well too. The mops spin at a high speed and utilize 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a variety of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app that lets you choose the kind of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.

You can, for example request the robot to clean the kitchen and 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 can't. Its only issue is that the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops is known to smash into walls and objects at a high speed. However, a quick look at the history of cleaning in the app will reveal exactly what the robot accomplished, where it's traveling, and what obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance tasks must be completed like emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank, by using a 600ml bottle filled with Eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop are able to run for a long time and the mop is able to operate for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in normal mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to refill. The app is easy to use and intuitive, allowing you to see all the details of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular robot mop and vacuum. This year's model has an agitator that doubles as its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has enhanced suction power, which allows it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners could overlook.

This Roborock model, just like the other two models I tested, has infrared and reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it overcome obstacles like furniture, walls, and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes two cameras that can recognize objects, and determine if they are walls or other surfaces. It can then automatically change its direction and clean the objects without a pause.

It's the most expensive model I've tested, but it also has 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 button, which doubles up as a child-lock and a home button to bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml of water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin auto-refills.

The only issue I have discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed) however, it's a hassle to take off the mount itself to wash it manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mounts, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can manage and set up these using the Roborock app which is also home to its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings, track battery life and component maintenance. You'll need to jump through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.
