The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be ideal for those who want to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure 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 is smaller than other options, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will 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 vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. Those same front arms can be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't create the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and performs well however, 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 most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home, detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

Another notable feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter the intensity of its suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can move through your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

This device has a fairly high price tag but has a variety of smart features. It is important to keep in mind that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month.

The robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop 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 to have a clean 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 clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot mop vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two modules that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise map of your floorplan which it uses to draw the path to follow 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' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some nice jingles that signalled when it was about to start or completing its task.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the need to switch out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuum cleaner uk is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it has distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock which serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of 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 could occasionally become so entangled with an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. 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 the sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big change from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
