The
Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great navigation and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an
automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the
best automatic vacuum cleaner navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a
robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.
It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help pull away debris from corners.
The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by much. The mop rotates at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris like books and broken toys.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't create the same volume of 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 specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and works well. However, if you are buying this
best robot hoover vacuum solely for mopping purposes you must pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop 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 customizable cleaning machine.
The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite fast.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also select 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 to prevent damage to carpets and rug.
This device has a fairly high price tag but comes with a large selection of smart features. It's crucial to remember that it carries recurring costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need 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 one to three months.
The
Best robot vacuum cleaner UK vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. These include a power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which includes a microfiber pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.
Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive 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 allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that let you know when it was starting or finishing its work.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the necessity to change between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it comes with some unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at finding objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in a hazard like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "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 a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but 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, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing sight in a space that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
