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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums that mop vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some of them have excellent navigation and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to navigate into tight corners and underneath furniture.

Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop rotates at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It doesn't produce the same volume of 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 has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and works well however this is something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it does have certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. This is a rare event however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use which could lead to mildew or 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 conceptualized its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in the market that is dominated by boxy units.
