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. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should choose if you want an automatic auto vacuum and mop cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best robot cleaner 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, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in one go. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger debris like books and broken toys.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective however it's something you'll need to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose 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 variety of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and efficiently. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surface areas. This includes corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

This device is expensive but has many smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve 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 robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. These include the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. 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 a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle both vacuuming and 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 module which is equipped with a microfiber pad. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

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

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and getting its work done.

Its biggest drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to swap out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to keep 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 an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it also has distinct features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that serves 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 a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot hoover and mop or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to turn off the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes 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 become stuck if it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you manually untangle it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad, except that the mopping pad isn't washed 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 base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
