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. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through an efficient.

It's fast and does an excellent 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 comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by a lot. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. 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 set up and performs well, but this is something that you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums uk 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, identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter the amount of suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also alter the number of passes it must make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device comes with a high price tag but comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind that the device will incur recurring expenses in the form mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be changed every three month.

The robot vacuum that mops is best rated robot vacuum highly on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want an organized home that doesn't require a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple 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 both vacuuming and mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to protect certain areas of your house from being scrubbed with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able to collect a lot of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the need to switch out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot hoover 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 has some distinctive features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock that serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to manually start cleaning and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally become so entangled with obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you free it. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't too bad apart from the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a huge contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxes.
