To ask if your robot hoover or hoover-mop works?

Best thing i ever bought is an eufy with vacuum and mop. My halls, kitchen, porches are all hard floors and the mopping is fantastic for clearing up after dog and kids. I am always surprised how dirty the dirty water tank is even with daily mopping and a no shoe household. The mop cleaning at the end is good but I do pop them in the washing machine weekly.

Hoovering is decent but misses the edges in certain places.

I've found it makes the kids tidier as they know eury will eat things like lego etc. I jave it set up activate downstairs at 9am once everyone has left the house. It's become part of the daily routine to do quick floor check before leaving the house. Can move to other floors too and ir keeps the maps separate.

Our robot hoover is good for a quick clean up but doesn't do a good job with hairs that have been walked into the pile - so have to regularly use a traditional hoover

Just got a roborock vac and mop which was heavily reduced on prime day, relegated my eufy vac only model upstairs.

So far, I love it. The vac part is brilliant, better than the eufy, which is really good, leaves lovely straight vac lines on the carpets. The mopping is really just a wipe with a damp cloth, but it’s good enough for day to day use, better than expected anyway. Mine doesn’t rinse the mop pad, you have to take it off and rinse it by hand.

we do clear the floors for it though, but that said, we’ve had robo vacs for many years, so keeping the floors clear is just normal for us, we just automatically do it. You soon get used to it.

wouldnt be without my robovacs, the eufy is pootling round upstairs as we speak.

Eufy (hoover only) - very handy for just keeping on top of things and making place look clean although you need to run a real hoover round the edges of rooms once in a while just to make sure all good. If it eats something it doesn't like it stops and beeps to tell you - cables are the worst offenders round here, but is still loads easier than the alternative!

I only use mine when I’m in and I have a quick clear of things on the floor like shoes and toys. I do this because the roller brush once got jammed by a mouse the cat had bought in. Wasn’t pleasant! Wouldn’t be without it though, it’s usually on every other day.

We have an eufy X10 Pro Omni which mops and vacs. DH did a lot of research before we got it. It can raise itself on/off rugs and knows not to mop those. Some vacs get jammed on rugs. Its never got trapped in a corner but that might have only been a problem with earlier/cheaper robo vacs.

I think the mop heads need changing now, so occasionally something dried on the floor needs an extra scrub, but otherwise we are really pleased with it. Our downstairs is all tiled, a few rugs and 1 level, so its perfect for that. We have dog toys around which have never been a problem- it can see the obstacle and goes around them. It can also detect smaller things apparently (like dog poo!) although that's never been tested. I'm unsure how small it can detect and if it would see lego though, you'd need to read the spec or watch youtube reviews.

We tend to prep the room and run it when we are out. We pick up shoes, dog bed and things off the floor for a better clean. We did try running it at night without tiding up beforehand but the dog went ballistic thinking if was some sort of robo intruder! Sometimes we run it during the day with stuff still on the floor, and it just goes around them.

I have had robot hoovers for years now and swapped last year to a hoover/mop combined with base station tanks.

Hoovering - great but will eat socks or small toys and cables eg phone charger plugged in and trailing.

Mopping - more of a faff - use recommended cleaning solution and it mops ok but you do get build up at the edges of the room, and the dock can leak/overflow when it rinses pads (probably due to cat hair blockages).

it does help keep us cleaner though and when it does I will replace but possibly go back to just hoover….
