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 robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping capabilities 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 should pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into tight corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums that mop vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely to mop, you will need to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mop vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also rapid.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three months.

The robot auto vacuum and mop mop is a top Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. These include a power button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning session. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. 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 worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise map of your floorplan, which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to protect certain areas of your house from being swept with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture some of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and working towards its goal.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the necessity to switch out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, however it comes with some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to get stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the bright side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
