Robots that vacuum and mop provide the convenience of cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt, grit) and wet mess (spills or stains) in one session without the need to switch out devices. They can also save storage space compared to having two separate units, particularly in smaller living spaces.

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bins and refill their water tank, and wash their mopping pads from a dedicated dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking the S1 Pro is simple, and a quick-start guide will have you running with a clean and complete dust bag, a hard floor solution and water tank in a matter of minutes.

The S1 Pro is an incredibly powerful machine that can mop and vacuum well. The mops spin at high speed and use 2.2 pounds (1kg of force) to swiftly get rid of pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a range of brushes and attachments and a user-friendly application that lets you choose the exact kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you can choose to have the best robot vacuum and mop do a deep clean in the living and kitchen but go easy on the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are also excellent and the robot is capable of detecting small obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only minor issue is that it tends to smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but just a glance at the cleaning history within the app will show you exactly what it's doing, where it's going and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs need to be done like emptying the debris tray, and washing the water tank that is dirty. It's also able to mix detergent automatically into the water tank with a 600ml bottle of eufy's own solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop is able to run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode, and the vacuum can run for 136 minutes in standard mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is easy to use and intuitive and lets you look at all the details of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot vacuum and mop. It's not like the model from last year it comes with two agitators in its mopping pad, which greatly improves carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra also has an improved suction capacity, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners might overlook.

Like the other two Roborock models I've tried the S8 Pro Ultra has a reactive 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology that can help to avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things one step further by having a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they're an object that is a wall or a different surface. It then can alter its path in a way that is automatic and clean around them without missing a step.

It's the most expensive model I've tried and it comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular design is attractive and it only has three physical buttons which include the power button which also resumes cleaning; a mop button that doubles as a child lock and a home button that can bring the robot back to its dock. Lifting the hinged lid reveals a 350ml dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank self-empties and the bin is auto vacuum and mop-filling.

The only issue I have discovered with this model was that the VibraRise mop pad mount isn't removable. Although you can change the mopping cloth (if needed) however, it's a hassle to take off the mount to wash it manually. I've observed that any carpet that the best robot vacuum and mop touches will be in contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mounts, which could cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a variety of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. You can manage and set up these via the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app lets you plan cleanings and monitor the battery's lifespan. You'll have to go through some hoops to activate voice control on this model. It's a shame, considering how well-performing it is otherwise.
