A List Of Common Errors That People Do With Robots That Vacuum And Mop
Robots That Vacuum and Mop
Robots that mop and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills, stains) in one time without the need to change devices. They also can save storage space compared to having two separate units, especially in smaller living spaces.
A good combination bot should be able to navigate well and have excellent obstacle avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bins and refill their water tank, and wash their mopping pads using the dock that is specifically designed for them.
1. Eufy S1 Pro
It has a lot to offer for its relatively modest price, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to set up. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start manual gets you running in no time. It comes with the complete dust bag, water tank and hard floor solution.
The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops are spun at a high rate and employ 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to quickly remove dirt, pet hair 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 to have for each room.
For instance, you can decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation technology are also excellent and the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. The only drawback is that it tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However, a quick look at the history of cleaning on the app will tell you exactly what the robot has completed, where it's going, and which obstacles it has stumbled upon or avoided.
The docking station comes with a handy LCD screen that displays when maintenance is needed, such as emptying debris and rinsing the dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank using a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.
Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time as well, with the mop being capable of operating for an 184-minute runtime in Quiet mode and the vacuum capable of running for 136 minutes in standard mode before having to recharge or return to the base to refill. And you can see the complete cleaning details within the app, which is intuitively laid out and easy to understand although we would have liked to be able distinguish between a vacuum only or mop and vacuum clean when looking at 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. In contrast to the model of last year this one has two agitators in its mopping pad, which significantly enhances its carpet cleaning abilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that allows it to remove finer hairs and other debris other robotic cleaners may miss.

It then can automatically alter its direction and clean them without skipping a beat.

The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank self-empties and the bin is auto-filling.
The only issue I encountered in this model was the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) however, it's a hassle to take off the mount itself to wash manually. I've noticed that any plush carpet that the robot touches will be in contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and can cause abrasions.
The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and set up these advanced features. It also contains maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, monitor the battery life and maintain your components. You'll need to jump through a series of steps to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how efficient it is otherwise.
