The
Best Robot Vacuum That MopsNoah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the
best rated robot vacuum navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.
It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help draw out debris from corners.
The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't make 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 exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, it's something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a wide range of features.
The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and methodically. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.
Another noteworthy feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-andforth or more random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.
The device has a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads should be changed every one to three month.
This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. It has the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1
robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The
robot vacuum cleaner best is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which includes an elastomer pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.
Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that let you know when it was about to start or finishing its work.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.
The base comes with a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's
automatic hoover emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.
Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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, 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 did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its app.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a
cleaning robot mop and vacuum session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.
On the bright 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 conceptualized its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for the market that is dominated by boxy models.
