What's Holding Back What's Holding Back The Robot Vacuum And Mop Industry?

Best Robot Vacuum and Mop Combos

Robot vacuums and mops are getting more efficient. They pass our tests on cleaning and can handle various flooring. Look for models that allow you to select from a variety of modes, and use their charging docks to automatically empty and clean the stairs.

Many of the top models work with your smartphone. Look for an app that allows you to save maps, schedules, and choose cleaning modes.

1. Eufy Omni S1 Pro

Eufy's gunmetal and gloss black Omni S1 Pro is one of the most impressive robot vacuum and mop combinations on the market.

The S1 was able to map my downstairs quickly, which includes flooring in the kitchen, dining area, and bathrooms, as well as medium-pile and a large rug. It was able to drive close to walls without hitting them, and was able to cross thresholds that were raised in the room without problem, but it sometimes had trouble navigating down the stairs in one pass. The S1 also did an excellent job cleaning hard floors with its mop that moved smoothly on its flat side against the floor and then lifting its own weight when it reaches carpet or carpet.

After every mopping session, the docking station on the S1 automatically emptys its dust bin and refills its water tank onboard with clean ozonated filtered water. The dock adds an extra-deep cleaning solution to the water. The S1's water tank can hold enough water for around a dozen cleaning sessions before it has to be empty, but this will vary depending on how often you use the mop.

The S1 needs periodic maintenance, just like any other 2-in-1 robots. For this, you'll need to clean the water tank that is dirty regularly to prevent it from clogging. Also, you'll need to clean the swivel wheel and sensors regularly to keep them from getting blocked by dirt or dust. However, overall, the S1 is easy to maintain, especially when compared to other models that require more care.
