The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help draw away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum cleaners best mop and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective however, it's something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and also identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surfaces. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads must be changed every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' and 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 and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum cleaners uk comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best automatic vacuum cleaner feature was its precise floorplan map which it uses to create the path to follow when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some lovely jingles that inform you that it was in the process of getting its work done.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't contain multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

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

The base comes with a few control buttons that let you manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto vacuum and mop-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise in finding objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or 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 came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for the market that is dominated by boxes.
