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

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. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities 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 for 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 in tight corners and under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuum with mop vacuums. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through an efficient.

It's extremely fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It doesn't make the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install and performs well. However when you purchase this vacuum solely to mop, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a range of features.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that extends to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent build-up and reduce odors.

Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it will make, which will affect the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to note that it incurs recurring expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating 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' and a Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and drys 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 clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated, but they do mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able to collect some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. It was fairly quiet and even had some nice jingles that signalled when it was starting or finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to switch out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic auto vacuum and mop that is able to mop in our review, but it also has unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot vacuum best, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base has several control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch on the child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni can sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses and can cause mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
