The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who are looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best robotic mop and vacuum navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic autonomous vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as good. The mop rotates at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and works well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely to mop, you will need to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. These include corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a 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 turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

The device comes with a high price tag but comes with a large selection of smart features. It's important to keep in mind that it has periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the trash bin 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 someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy 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 is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that is equipped with microfiber pads. It's not the most modern thing 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.

Our testers 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. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your home from being swept with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able capture many of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some pleasant jingles that let you know when it was about to start or completing its task.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the need to swap out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it also has unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock which doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base has several control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock, which is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

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

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a major departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
