The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuum that also mops then this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It comes with a massive 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through a clean.

It's very quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt as well as pet hair and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as good. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful in difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is much 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 separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well, but this is something that you'll have to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning robot mop and vacuum system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home, detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it must make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

This device is expensive however it has many useful features. It is important to remember, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping 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 then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot cleaner vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot vacuum cleaner and mop feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able capture some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. The noise levels were low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the need to swap out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it has some unique features which are worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock which doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a clean sink as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify obstacles and furniture 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.

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 free it. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
