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 appliances. His focus is on robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through cleaning.

It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in a single pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to pick up dirt, pet hair, and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as good. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 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 get into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like books and broken toys.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to be aware of this.

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 cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

This device has a fairly high price tag but has a variety of advanced features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has regular expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. It has the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning session. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it easy to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum cleaner reviews vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that has 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 have to fret about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to signal that it was beginning and finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the requirement to switch out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot store multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum and mop vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinct features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its enormous dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot vacuum cleaner, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start cleaning, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to detect obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in an obstacle like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during the cleaning process. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or 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 significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxes.
