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

1. Eufy S1 Pro

The S1 Pro is a powerful little machine that cleans up a mess 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 has four power modes, a range of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and its smart navigation technology are excellent too, with the robot vacuum that mops being capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only issue it has is that it can crash into walls and objects at a high speed, but an instant glance at the cleaning history in the app will tell you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading, and which obstacles it's 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 can also mix detergent into the tank in a controlled manner by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tested the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that can help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by adding a dual camera which can recognize objects and determine whether they're a wall or another type of surface. It will then automatically alter its direction and clean them without missing a beat.

It's the most expensive model I've tried however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular design is attractive and it has only three physical buttons that include the power button which also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock; and a home button to send the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml tank of water. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin auto-refills.

The only drawback I could find with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount to wash it manually. I've observed that any soft carpet the robot vacuum cleaners uk crosses will come into contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and that can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a number intelligent features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and configure these features.
