The best robot cleaner robot vacuum that mops (recent bbs.pku.edu.cn blog post)

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 focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options and makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes when 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 mid-clean.

It's fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt, pet hair, and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums best vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's easy to install and is effective, but this is something you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc 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 your home and find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly 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 choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It's crucial to note that it incurs regular costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

The robot vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating 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 comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you 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 has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan which it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which can help to protect specific areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot vacuum that vacuums and mops that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive best robotic mop and vacuum vacuum that is able to mop in our review, but it comes with some distinct features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to detect 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.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets entangled in an obstacle like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. This is a rare event however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a huge contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
