The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those who want to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. They feature impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to go for. It is smaller than other options and makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help pull out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger objects like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective however this is something you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.

The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the smell.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction level 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 disable the side brush in order to protect your carpets from damage. rug.

This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to 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 amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair that our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to signal that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to contain multiple maps, which could be a hassle for homes with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinctive features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start a cleaning job and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad apart from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for the market that is dominated by boxes.
