You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

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, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum mop cleaner robot. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through cleaning.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in one go. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as good. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuums that mop mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and performs well however, this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another noteworthy feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price, but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to note that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. It has the power button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.

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

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to shield certain areas of your house from being cleaned with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots struggled. It was quiet and had some nice jingles that signalled when it was starting or finished its work.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the requirement to swap out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which could be a pain for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning job and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic vacuum cleaner emptying process. Press two of the buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. While this was rare but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or mold.

On the bright side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
