The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to remove mopping from their list of things to do. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their 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 best automatic vacuum vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options which makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as good. The mop rotates at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install and works well. However when you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a variety of features.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home, detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively rapid.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach a wide range of surface areas. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. They also have 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 app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and carpets.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. However, it's important to remember that it carries recurring costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads must be changed every one to three months.

The robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. 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 snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes microfiber pads. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated however, they mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its precise floorplan map that it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the need to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart best robot hoover that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it does have distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle the child lock which is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to detect obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can 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 can sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad isn't cleaned 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, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
