Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning both dry debris and wet mess in one go without the need to switch devices. They can also reduce space when compared to two separate units, especially in smaller living areas.

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models that automatically empty their bins and refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads with a dedicated dock.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's one of the simplest robots to set up that we've ever tested. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start guide gets you up and running in no time with the complete dust bag, water tank and a hard floor.

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 swiftly 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 pick the exact kind of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can, ask the robot vacuums best to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom in its own space. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models can't. The only drawback is that the robot tends to hit walls and objects at full speed. However looking at the cleaning history on the app will show you exactly what the robot has completed, where it's going, and which obstacles he has run into or avoided.

A large LCD screen on the docking station informs the maintenance tasks that need to be done including emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It's also capable of mixing detergent automatically into the water tank using a 600ml bottle of the eufy's solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum come with a long-running time. The mop is able to run for 184 mins in Quiet Mode. The vacuum can last 136 mins in standard mode, before needing recharging or returning to the base. The app is easy to use and intuitive, allowing you to view every aspect of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's top robot vacuum and mop. The model of this year features a double agitator built into its mopping pad. This improves the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to pull up small hairs and other particles that other robotic cleaners could be unable to pick up.

This Roborock model, like the other two I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it get around obstacles like walls, furniture, and other obstacles. But the S8 Pro Ultra takes things an extra step by incorporating a dual camera that can detect objects and determine whether they are a wall or another type of surface. It is able to change its course automatically and clean them without stumbling.

This is the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed however, it's also the most loaded with features. Its sleek, angular design is attractive and it has only three physical buttons that include the power button that also resumes cleaning; a mop-only switch that doubles as a child lock and a home button to send the robot back to its dock. The hinged lid can be opened to reveal a 350ml dustbin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank self-empties and the bin auto vacuum and mop-refilling.

The only drawback I could find to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when needed, but it's difficult to remove the mount for manual washing. I've noticed that any plush carpet the best robot hoover crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra has a number of smart features, including support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these features. It also has maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings, track the battery life and maintain your components. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops to enable voice control with this model which is a pity considering the performance of this model.

3. Dreame X40

The Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is an industry leader with innovative features, superior suction power, and advanced mowing abilities. Its innovative design allows for personalized and efficient cleaning, while also saving time.

The X40 is the first robotic vacuum cleaner that can deliver 12,000 Pascals of cleaning power, which easily makes it one of the most effective options available. This powerful vacuum removes dry mess, including pet hair and dust. It also comes with a high-quality mop that leaves hard floors spotlessly clean, even with a wet pad. The X40 is also very quiet in operation with only occasional bursts during mode changes or self-maintenance.

Another noteworthy feature is the X40's expandable and liftable side brush that allows it to reach hard-to-reach corners and intimately clean curved furniture like table and chairs' legs. It also allows the robot vacuum with mop to access furniture with a low profile making it an ideal option for smaller apartments and condos with limited space. The side brush tilts automatically down when it spots wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that allows the X40 to prevent damage to floors from the frequent back-and-forth movement.

Contrary to other robots which only focus on one task, the X40 can perform both vacuuming and mopping at the same time or individually. It can be programmed to mop only the hard floors, and skip carpeted areas, and reverse the process. It can be controlled via the Dreame App or Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to ensure smooth voice-controlled operations.

The app is simple to use and intuitive, and the X40 has many smart features that are simple to set up. Users can program the X40 for cleaning at specific times. It is also possible to alter suction power, switch modes, look at floor plans and maps, and manage mopping setting. The X40 can also monitor its progress and notify you when it's done.

The X40 is easy-to-maintain and offers numerous convenient features, making it a great choice for busy families. The docking station automatically empty the trash bin into a 3.2 L bin, cleans the mop pads, then refills them with clean water and a cleaning solution. It can also detect when the mop pad is full and alert you before it overflows, reducing the need for manual maintenance.

4. L20 Ultra

The L20 Ultra robot is one of the most expensive models available. It has several features that make it stand out. Smart DuoScrub, which is a new feature on its mop, utilizes two high-speed mop heads to scrub floors more thoroughly. It also has a suction force of 7,000Pa. This is significantly higher than that of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni and can remove pet hair and other small dirt particles in addition to removing spills and wet spots.

The mop mops are cleaned and dried at the base station every time they are used. This is a great feature since it prevents the build-up of mould and unpleasant odours in the storage area, and it also makes the mop system more efficient. This is a feature we haven't seen in other robot vacuums that mop mop or vacuum models. It could be a great way to keep your home clean longer.

There are a lot of options, including the ability to schedule cleanings and change preferences. These settings can be adjusted via the app or buttons on the unit itself. The app is easy to use and offers a variety of options for customising your cleaning routine. It also has many features that aren't offered on other robots, for instance the Clean Genius Mode, which automatically increases suction when it detects dust particles.

The L20 Ultra has a stylish design that has a white-and-metallic look that looks elegant and sophisticated. It's heavier than the other two-in-one robots in this list, at 4kg - but it's not obscenely heavy, and it feels sturdy and well-built. The mopping system is also well designed, and the double rotating mop is a great choice for hard floors or in corners. The MopExtend feature lets them extend up to 2mm below the baseboards.
