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

A good combination bot will offer excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Look for models with docks that let them automatically empty their bins, refill their water tanks and machine-wash the mopping pads.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It has a lot to offer for its relatively low cost, and it's one of the most simple robots we've tested to install. Unpacking is simple and the quick-start guide will have you running in no time. You'll have a the complete dust bag, water tank, and a hard floor solution.

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 take away pet hair, dirt and sticky dried spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app that lets you pick the exact kind of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For instance, you could opt for the robot to clean up the kitchen and living rooms but take it easy in the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro's front colision sensors and smart navigation tech are excellent too and the robot is capable of detecting tiny obstacles that other models have difficulty overcoming. Its only minor issue is that it tends to crash into walls and objects at full speed. However, just a glance at the cleaning history within the app will show you exactly what it's doing, where it's going, and which obstacles it's avoided.

A convenient LCD screen on the docking station shows you when maintenance jobs need to be done like emptying the debris tray and cleaning the dirty water tank. It is also able to mix detergent into the water tank in a controlled manner, using a 600ml eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop come with plenty of running time as well, with the mop being able to operate for up to 184 minutes 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 entire cleaning information in the app, which is intuitively laid out and easily understood however we would like to be able to distinguish between a mop only vacuum and a vacuum/mop clean when looking at a cleaned area in the cleaning history.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the most recent version of the company's flagship robot mop and vacuum. The model this year has two agitators built into its mopping pad. This enhances the carpet cleaning capabilities of this model. The S8 Pro Ultra also has improved suction power, allowing it to remove fine hairs and other debris that other robotic cleaner and mop cleaners might overlook.

As with the other two Roborock models I've tried it also has a 3D obstacle avoidance and infrared technology to help it avoid furniture, walls and other obstacles. The S8 Pro Ultra goes one step further and incorporates a dual-camera that can identify objects, and determine if they're walls or other surfaces. It can then change its course automatically and clean them without stumbling.

It's the most expensive of the three models I've reviewed, but it's also feature-packed. Its sleek and angular design is striking and only has three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which also restarts the cleaning, a mop button that doubles as a child-lock and a home-button that can bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid opens up to reveal a 350ml trash bin and 200ml of water tank. The water tank self-empties, and the bin is auto-filling.

The only downside I've found with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. It is possible to replace the mopping cloth when required, but it's a challenge to take the mount off for manual washing. I've found that any plush carpet the robot vacuum cleaner uk crosses will come into contact with the Velcro-like fastener system on the mount, which can cause abrasions.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a range of clever features including support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The Roborock app allows you to manage and configure these smart features. It also includes maps and advanced mopping options. The app also allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life and component maintenance. But you'll need to jump through a few hurdles to enable voice control on this model, which is a shame considering how well it performs otherwise.
