It features an elegant, self-emptying Clean Base that can hold up to two mopping cycles. It's designed to look and feel like a small desk. It is the only robot we've tested with an onboard reservoir that automatically washes and refills the cleaning pads after every mopping or vacuum cycle.
The mopping arm is placed on top of the unit. It lowers when it senses hard surfaces and starts to scrub. It moves slowly across surfaces to prevent spreading mud or wet spills on carpeted areas. It also does a fantastic job in keeping itself away from furniture, cords and other obstacles.
The iRobot Home App is smarter than most robot vacuums.

Like its predecessors as well, the S8 MaxV Ultra features an intelligent system that recognizes household objects including shoes and pet waste with the camera and LIDAR combination. It performed well in our test of obstacle avoidance, with only one hiccup during my testing (it got stuck unwinding a wool ball that was caught in its brush arm).
The S8 MaxV Ultra comes with a brand new suction power of 10,000pa. power, more than double its predecessor. This makes it an excellent choice for homes with lots of carpeting and various kinds of flooring. The vacuum can also be programmed to automatically increase suction when it's moving dirt or crumbs.

5. Eufy S1 Pro
The Eufy S1 Pro has been designed as an efficient vacuum and mop combo that is also user-friendly. Its gunmetal-colored base station self-emptying and refills its own tank with clean water, automatically empties the dust bin into a smaller one it washes and dry its own mop pad in between cleaning sessions. It comes with advanced features that allow it to switch between carpets and hard surfaces, remove pet hair from carpets and clean high-level thresholds in rooms.

It can drive close to walls and avoid steps without crashing. It also raises the mop automatically when driving on rugs or short-pile carpets. It had a difficult time when it encountered longer-pile carpets as well as there were a few large, thick mess of dried-on debris.
The S1 Pro is ready to start right from the moment you purchase it, and it only needs just a few minutes of mapping to learn about your home. Once that's done the map is displayed in the app and rooms can be added or joined depending on the need.

The S1 Pro is a great option for homes that have different types of flooring as it can mop and vacuum. However its dependence on an Eufy-branded cleaning system (which is included in the box) makes it less flexible than other robots that let you create your own solutions. Its ability both to mop and vacuum is a great option for homes with floors of both types. However, its reliance on Eufy cleaning solutions (which are included in the box), can make it less flexible than other robots that permit you to include your own cleaning products.
