You'll Never Be Able To Figure Out This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Benefits

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who want to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. Some models have superior navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options 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, offers some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a best robotic mop and vacuum vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots that vacuum and mop. This is helpful when you're trying to get into narrow corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys or books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. 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 install and works well however this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing 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 cleaner with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent build-up and reduce odors.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will determine how fast the device will move through your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs periodic costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads must be changed every three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an power button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair from pets. It was able capture a large amount of hair that our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and working towards its goal.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to switch between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to contain multiple maps, which could be a hassle if you have a home that 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 robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it does have some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock that doubles as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle the child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes 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 will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the bright side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot vacuums best, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
