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

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through a clean.

It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as good. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuums with mop mops and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and is effective, but it's something you'll have to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surfaces. This includes corners and baseboards as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent build-up and reduce the odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more randomized pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will determine how fast the device will move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It is important to note that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

This best robotic mop and vacuum vacuum cleaner has a high Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. These include the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot vacuums uk comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate floorplan map which it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able capture the majority of hair our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were nice jingles to let you know that it was beginning and finishing its work.

The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuums with mop is a ideal choice for people who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. It does however, have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock that doubles as a charging base and housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start cleaning or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify 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.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you free it. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. 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 created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
