Ten Best Robot Vacuum That Mops Myths You Shouldn't Post On Twitter

The best automatic vacuum Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It comes with 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 a robotic vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as good. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install, and it works well. However, if you are buying this robot autonomous vacuum solely for mopping, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surfaces. These include corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will affect how quickly the device can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of innovative features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum with mop vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The Robot Vacuums That Mop is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that includes a microfiber pad. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned but they're a good thing because that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was starting or completing its task.

The app was too easy and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app can't save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it also has unique features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock which serves as the robot's charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task or recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will steer 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 a blockage like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.

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