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

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to remove mopping from their list of things to do. Some have great mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop rotates quickly and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger pieces of debris, like broken toys and books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot hoover vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and performs well, but this is something that you'll have 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 cleaner with mop 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 ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device has a high price tag but comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. These include an energy button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module which has an elastomer pad. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot vacuum and mop feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to shield certain areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able capture many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some pleasant jingles that indicated when it was beginning or completing its task.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the requirement to switch out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it has some distinctive features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock that serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base has several control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch on the child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

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

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets entangled in an obstacle like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the bright side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot mop thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who came up with its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
