-
Fresh liquid pickup speed and wet-mess handling are described as unusually strong for a robot mop because it actively processes dirty water instead of saturating pads and streaking.
-
Mopping performance is the defining strength: the roller system with continuous washing is repeatedly described as best-in-class for hard floors, especially for real scrubbing and cleaner results over a run.
-
Self-cleaning is frequently praised: roller washing at the dock and in-use mop refreshing are described as leaving the roller cleaner with minimal buildup after messy tests.
-
Streaking and residue are generally reported as reduced versus spinning-pad competitors, with multiple reviewers noting cleaner-feeling floors and less smear in messy mopping scenarios.
-
Under-furniture pickup is frequently praised due to the lower-profile navigation design that improves access beneath sofas, cabinets, and other low-clearance areas.
-
Dried-on stain removal is frequently highlighted as exceptional in testing (coffee, grape juice, mud, sauces), with the S1 Pro often ranking at or near the top among premium robot mop combos.
-
Low-profile navigation hardware (front/internal lidar approach) is repeatedly credited for better under-furniture access than taller, top-turret designs.
-
Design is consistently praised as futuristic and standout, with both the robot and dock described as premium-looking compared to more traditional competitors.
-
Large debris intake on hard floors is commonly described as very good, with reviewers noting strong pickup from fine debris through larger particles.
-
Mapping and path efficiency are widely described as strong, with fast mapping, reliable room handling, and efficient coverage in typical home layouts.
-
Hard-floor fine dust pickup is generally reported as strong, with multiple tests placing hard-floor vacuuming near the top of comparison groups.

Dust handling is generally strong with an auto-empty dock and disposable bag system, though the robot-side bin can be described as small and performance can vary in extreme clogging simulations.
-
Solution/liquid handling is a differentiator: multiple reviews describe onboard clean/dirty water handling and dock detergent/solution features that improve hygiene and reduce smear compared to pad systems.
-
Docking and auto-empty behavior are usually reliable in the provided reviews, with consistent emptying reported, plus integrated mop washing and drying that reduce daily hands-on work.
-
Obstacle avoidance is repeatedly rated among the best, including reports of near-perfect or perfect results in structured tests, though cord/shoelace edge cases can still cause tangles.
-
Build quality impressions are positive, with the dock and robot repeatedly described as well put together and thoughtfully designed, though long-term durability is not deeply proven in the provided reviews.
-
The app is generally considered easy and functional for scheduling, maps, and no-go zones, but some reviewers call it lighter on advanced options than certain competitors.
-
Mop lifting is above average and often keeps carpets dry, but at least one review suggests software behavior could be improved for tricky transitions and carpet-edge situations.
-
-
Area rug handling is generally good for clearing smaller rugs when the mop lifts properly, but edge cases on thicker/high-pile rugs can cause issues or require no-mop zones.
-
Suction is often described as strong on paper and good in some pickup tests, but several reviews still place overall carpet performance behind competing flagships despite decent hard-floor results.
-
Privacy-related notes are mixed: the robot uses camera-based avoidance, but at least one review highlights limited or no live-view access, which some may see as a privacy-positive constraint.
-
Corner cleaning is helped by the general design and dual side brushes in some descriptions, but at least one reviewer notes it can intentionally keep distance from walls/furniture, reducing true corner reach.

Value is framed as good relative to some pricier flagships, but still expensive overall; reviewers tend to justify it primarily for buyers who prioritize hard-floor mopping performance.

Dock-related noise is described as noticeable during drying and auto-empty events, with some reviewers calling the drying sounds more present than they prefer in the same room.
-
Maintenance needs are moderate-to-high for a flagship robot because the dirty-water system and certain filters may require more frequent attention than simpler pad-based bots.
-
Dock footprint is generally viewed as well-designed and ergonomic, but at least one review notes the base can be heavy and less convenient to move.
