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 appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacles 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 is smaller than other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of the best navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when 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 mid-clean.

It's quick and does a great job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and the hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in one go. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like broken toys and books.

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

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuum and mop vacuums that mop (to Nzdao) vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.

The device is equipped 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 can then use this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean and is also fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning session.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but 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 and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to protect certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some pleasant jingles to inform you that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuum uk is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive 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 a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base comes with a few control buttons, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid 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 when it is entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in the market that is dominated by boxy models.
