The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot mop vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure 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 the other options and makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into tight corners or on 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 mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install and works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for a highly effective, versatile, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surface areas. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of advanced features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.

This robot vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which is equipped with an elastomer pad. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't have 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 best feature was its precise floorplan map, which it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning robot mop and vacuum. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to keep specific areas of your home from being swept with mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were pleasant jingles to inform you that it was starting and finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the need to swap out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it comes with some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot vacuums that Mop or use the dock's automatic vacuum and mop emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you manually untangle it. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use and can cause mildew or mold.

On the positive 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 contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxes and clunky models.
