The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their own 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 automatic vacuum cleaner (click through the up coming website) that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to navigate into tight corners and underneath furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of my favorite navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one motion. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to remove dirt, pet hair, and even droppings effortlessly. 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 efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's easy to install and works well however this is something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a range of features.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house, detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surfaces. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will affect how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It's important to keep in mind that it has periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs 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.

The robot autonomous vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. It has a power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

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

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan that it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able capture many of the hair our cats shed, and even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to signal that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

The app was too simple and you had to change the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app can't save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it does have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock which serves as the robot vacuum cleaner's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a clean sink, and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that let you manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will stay 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 obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This is a rare event, but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the positive side the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern, sleek 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 is a refreshing view in a market that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
