Don t Buy Into These "Trends" Concerning Robots That Vacuum And Mop

Robots That Vacuum and Mop

Robots that mop and vacuum offer the convenience of removing dry debris (dust dirt, grit) and wet messes (spills and stains) in one session without the need to switch out devices. They also can save space when compared to two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that can automatically empty their bin, refill their water tank, and wash their mopping pads with the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has plenty to offer for its relatively low cost and is one of the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start manual gets you up and running in no time. You'll have a 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 vacuums well too. The mops spin at fast speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of dirt, pet hair, and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner has four power settings, as well as a selection of brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you want for each room.

For instance, you can decide to let the Best robot vacuum uk take care of a thorough clean-up in the living and kitchen areas but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models cannot. Its only minor issue is that it tends to hit objects and walls at full speed. However, just a glance at the cleaning history in the app tells you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and what obstacles it's run into or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station tells the maintenance tasks that must be completed, such as emptying the debris tray and washing the water tank that is dirty. It is also able to mix detergent into the water tank automatically by using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time, with the mop capable of running for 184 minutes in Quiet mode, and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in normal mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. And you can see the entire cleaning information in the app, which is intuitively laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would have liked to be able to distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at a clean area in the history of 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 - via - is the most recent version. In contrast to the model of last year, this one features two agitators in its mopping pad, which greatly improves carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pick up small hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners might be unable to pick up.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology which can help it avoid walls, furniture and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and includes a dual-camera that can identify objects, determining whether they're walls or other surfaces. It can then change its path in a way that is automatic hoover and clean around the objects, without missing a step.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested and it comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular design is eye catching and only has three physical buttons. The power button, which resumes the cleaning, a mop button that doubles up as a child-lock, and a home-button to bring the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml of water tank. The water tank automatically empties and the bin auto-refills.

The only downside I found in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to change the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to remove the mount for washing manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot crosses will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mount, which can cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of intelligent 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 allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life. You'll have to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. This is a shame considering how efficient it is otherwise.

It can also get under low-profile furnishings which makes it a great option for smaller apartments or condos. The side brush tilts automatically down when it spots wet spots.
