The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum and mop robot vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.

It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop rotates at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install and works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot hoover and mop vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

This device has a fairly high price tag but is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For example, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads should be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. It has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to draw a route when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to capture the majority of hair that our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some lovely jingles to signalled when it was starting or finished its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to switch between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock that serves as the robot's charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically eliminates.

The base has several control buttons that let you manually start cleaning tasks, recall the robot vacuum cleaners best (mouse click the up coming document) or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
