1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal-and-gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combos on the market. It uses lidar for navigation making maps of rooms and floors.

It was able to drive close to walls without crashing into them and even managed to drive across thresholds for rooms that are raised without problem, but it sometimes was unable to navigate down stairs in a single move. The S1 also did a great job of cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved effortlessly on its flat side against the floor and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or rug.

The docking station on the S1 automatically empties its trash bin and replenishes its onboard water tank with clean, ozonated waters prior to each mopping session. The dock also includes a cleaning solution in the water to ensure deep cleaning. The S1's water tank holds enough water for about twelve cleaning sessions before needing to be cleaned, although this can vary based on how much you use the mop.

The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. You'll need to wash out the tank that has been contaminated to prevent it from becoming blocked. It is also necessary to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from becoming clogged with dust or dirt. Overall the S1 is simple to maintain, especially when compared to other combinations that require more hands-on maintenance.
