Robots that clean and vacuum offer the convenience of cleaning dry debris and wet mess in one go, without having to switch devices. They can also 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 obstacles avoidance. Find models that automatically empty their bins and refill their water tank and machine-wash their mopping pads using the dock that is specifically designed for them.

1. Eufy S1 Pro

It's among the easiest 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. It comes 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 spin at high speeds and apply 2.2 pounds (1kg) of force, allowing for quick removal of dirt, pet hair and dried sticky spills. The vacuum comes with four power modes, a selection of attachments and brushes, and an intuitive app that lets you select the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

For example, you can decide to let the robot do a deep clean in the kitchen and living rooms but be careful with the spare bedroom. The S1 Pro has excellent front collision sensors and smart navigation technology. It is able to recognize small obstacles that other models can't. Its only minor issue is that it can smash into walls and other objects at full speed - but a quick glance at the history of cleaning 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 convenient LCD screen on the docking station tells you when maintenance jobs are required like emptying the debris tray and rinsing its dirty water tank. It is also able to mix detergent into the tank automatically with a 600ml of eufy solution.

Both the S1 Pro vacuum and mop have plenty of run-time as well, with the mop being capable of operating for up to 184 minutes in quiet mode and the vacuum able to do 136 minutes in standard mode before needing to recharge or return to the base to replenish. The app is easy to use and intuitive that lets you see all the details of the cleaning.

2. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the most recent version of Roborock's most popular best robot hoover vacuum and mop, is the most up-to-date version. It's not like the model from last year, this one features an agitator that doubles in its mopping pad, which significantly improves its carpet cleaning capabilities. The S8 Pro Ultra has an improved suction capacity that allows it to pull up smaller hairs and other particles other best robotic mop and vacuum cleaners might miss.

This Roborock model, like the other two models I tested is equipped with infrared and 3D obstacle avoidance technology that helps it get around obstacles like furniture, walls, and other obstacles. However, the S8 Pro Ultra takes things a step further by adding a dual camera which can recognize objects and determine whether they're a wall or another type of surface. It can then change its course automatically and clean around them without missing a step.

It's the most expensive model I've tested however it also comes with the most features. Its sleek, angular design is eye catching and comes with three buttons that are physically accessible. The power button, which resumes the cleaning, a mop button that doubles as a child lock, and a home-button to bring the robot to its dock. The hinged lid can be lifted to reveal 350ml of dust bin and 200ml water tank. The water tank automatically emptys and the bin fills up automatically.

The only issue I have found with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount is not removable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required) but it's a challenge to remove the mount itself to wash manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot crosses will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener on mounts, which could cause scratches.

The S8 Pro Ultra is equipped with a variety of intelligent features that include support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can manage and set up these using the Roborock app which is also the home of its maps and advanced mopping settings. The app allows you to schedule cleanings and monitor battery life. However, you'll need to jump through a few hoops to allow voice control with this model which is a pity considering how well it performs otherwise.

The side brush tilts automatically down when it detects wet spots. This is a wonderful feature that enables the X40 to avoid damaging floors by the frequent back-and-forth movement.

The app allows you to define these preferences, or you can use the buttons on the device itself. The app is simple to use and offers many options for customizing the cleaning process, and there are numerous functions that other robots don't include, for instance, the Clean Genius mode that automatically increases suction power when it detects dust particles rather than using a manual setting.
