The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for Good Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It is smaller than other options, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best automatic vacuum navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to remove dirt as well as pet hair and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes in contact with carpets and the dual side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency 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, easily scraping away dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. The front arms can be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much 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 mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It's simple to install and performs well however, this is something that you'll need to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home, detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

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

The device is costly, however it has many useful features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. These include an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty 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 busy professional or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot automatic vacuum cleaner is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot vacuums uk is divided into two modules which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that includes a microfiber pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refueling the water tank.

Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise floorplan that it uses to determine a route when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to protect certain 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 capture many of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few lovely jingles to indicated when it was about to start or completing its task.

The app was too basic and you had to switch the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it has distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock, which serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a clean sink and an automatic vacuum cleaner 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

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

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of 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 is entangled in an obstacle, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually swap between the two, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses which could 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, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
