Robots that vacuum and clean provide the convenience of cleaning dry debris and wet messes in one time, without having to switch devices. They also can save space compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot should have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models that have docks that allow them to automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer at a low cost, and it's one of the easiest robots we've tested to install. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and the quick-start guide will get you up and running with a clean, full dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is a powerful small machine that can cleans up a mess and is a great vacuum cleaner too. The mops spin at high speeds and can apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of pet hair, dirt and dried sticky spills. The vacuum cleaner comes with four power settings, a range of attachments and brushes and an intuitive app which lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to do for each room.

For example, you can opt for the robot vacuums best to clean up the living and kitchen but be careful with 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 are unable to. The only drawback is that the robot vacuums that mop tends to crash into walls and objects at a high speed. However, a quick look at the history of cleaning in the app will show you exactly what the robot done, where it is going, and which obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.

The docking station comes with an LCD display that shows the need for maintenance for cleaning up debris and cleaning the water tank that is dirty. It also mixes detergent into the water tank automatically with a 600ml of eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long running time. The mop can operate for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last 136 mins in standard mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. You can view the full cleaning details in the app, which is clearly laid out and is easy to comprehend although we would like to be able to differentiate between a vacuum only or mop clean, when examining a cleaned area in the history of cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest version of the company's most popular robot vacuum and mop. Unlike last year's model, this one features an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has an improved suction capacity, allowing it to pull up fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaners could be unable to pick up.

This Roborock model, just like the other two I tried it has infrared and a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it overcome obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things a step further by incorporating a dual camera that can recognize objects and determine whether they are a wall or another surface. It then can automatically alter its path and clean them without missing a beat.

It's the most expensive robot I've ever tested however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek angular design is striking, and it only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also resumes the cleaning, a mop button that doubles up as a child-lock and a home-button that can take the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens to reveal a 350ml dustbin as well as a 200ml tank of water. The water tank is self-emptying and the bin auto-refilling.

The only drawback I could find with this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth if required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off for washing manually. I've found that any plush carpet the robot vacuum with mop crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener mechanism on the mount, and can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of smart features, including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app allows you to schedule cleanings, track the life of batteries and maintenance on components. You'll need to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.

This powerful vacuum can clean up the dry mess, which includes pet hair and dust. It also comes with a high-quality mop that makes hard floors spotlessly clean, even without a wet pad. In addition, the X40 is very quiet during its operation, with only occasional bursts of noise when switching between modes or performing self-maintenance tasks.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the X40's extendable and liftable side brushes, that allows it to reach difficult-to-access corners and clean furniture such as table and chairs' legs. The robot is also able to reach under furniture with low profile which makes it an ideal choice for small apartments or condos. The side brush automatically tilts down when it spots wet spots. This is a great feature that allows the X40 to avoid causing damage to floors through the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Unlike some other robots that only focus on one task, the X40 is capable of performing both vacuuming and mopping at the same time or separately. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors and skip carpeted areas or vice versa. It can be controlled using the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operations.

The app is user-friendly and easy to use and the X40's clever features are simple to install. Users can program the X40 to clean at specific times, alter suction power and mode, view floor plans and maps and manage mopping settings. The X40 can also track its progress and inform you when it's finished.

The X40 is easy to maintain and comes with numerous features that make it an ideal choice for busy families. The docking station can automatically empty the dustbin and wash mop pads before refilling them with cleaning solution and fresh water. It can also detect whether the mop pad has reached its maximum capacity and notify you of the situation before it spills.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available on the market. However, it has several characteristics that make it stand out. The mops come with a brand new feature called Smart DuoScrub. It utilizes two mops that are high-speed to clean floors more thoroughly than the traditional method, and it comes with the highest suction power of 7,000Pa. This is much higher than the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni, and it can clean pet hair and smaller dirt particles - and also pick up spills and wet spots.

The mop is cleaned and dried in the base station each time they are used. This is an excellent feature as it stops the growth of mould and unpleasant odours in storage, and also makes mop systems more efficient. This is a system we've yet to see on other robot vacuums and mop models, and it could be a useful way of keeping your home hygienic for longer.

There's an impressive amount of settings on offer that include the ability to schedule cleaning times and adjust a variety of preferences. They can be set through the app or there are buttons on the unit itself. The app is easy to use and offers many options to customize the cleaning routine. Additionally, there are a lot of features that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power whenever it detects dust particles, instead of using the manual setting.

The L20 Ultra is also one of the most fashionable robots we've seen on market, sporting a white and metallic design that looks classy and sophisticated. It's a little heavier than the other two-in-one robots on this list - at around 4kg however it's not overly heavy, and it feels robust and well built. Mopping is also well-designed, and the double rotating mops work well on hard floors as well as in corners. They can also extend up to 2mm baseboards thanks to the MopExtend feature which is a nice addition.
