Robots That Vacuum and Mop

A good combination bot must have impressive navigation and obstacle avoidance. Look for models with docks that let them automatically empty their bins, replenish their water tanks, and wash the mopping pads.

The mops spin at high speeds and exert 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 brushes and attachments as well as an intuitive app that lets you choose the type of cleaning you'd like for each room.

For instance, you can, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom to itself. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors as well as smart navigation technology. It can detect small obstacles that other models can't.

However, a quick glance at the history of cleaning within the app will show you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading and the obstacles it's run into or avoided.

A handy LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance tasks must be completed including emptying the debris tray, and rinsing its dirty water tank. It can also mix detergent into the water tank by itself with a 600ml of eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro mop and vacuum have a long run time. The mop is able to run for 184 minutes in Quiet Mode and the vacuum can last for 136 minutes in standard mode, before having to recharge or returning to the base.

The only drawback I could find to this model was that the VibraRise mop pads mount isn't movable. While you can swap out the mopping cloth (if necessary) but it's a challenge to take off the mount itself to wash manually. I've noticed that any plush carpet that the robot vacuum cleaners uk touches will be in contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, and could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of intelligent features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app is where you can manage and set up these advanced features.
