The Best robot vacuum cleaners best Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner and mop vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and avoidance capabilities I've 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 can last longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's fast and does an excellent 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 sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor makes short work of picking up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and performs well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping, you will need to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively rapid.

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

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction strength and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also choose 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 avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want a cleaner home without spending a lot of time on chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a combined 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 you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to determine a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able 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 specific areas of your home from being swept with mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to collect some of the hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot vacuum cleaner uk were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to signal that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to swap out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which can be a problem if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent Robot vacuums that mop that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it comes with some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base comes with a few control buttons that allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot vacuums uk or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum mop cleaner robot.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 become stuck if it gets caught in an obstacle, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another potential downside is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This can lead to mildew and mold.

On the bright side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxes.
