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, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than the other models, making it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes when mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It is very quick and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one motion. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking 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 efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install and works well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely for mopping purposes you must pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range 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 the house and also identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price, but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to note that the device will incur recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.

The robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and offers a wide 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 back home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of position. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated however, they mean you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that shed by our cats and even got into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to signal that it was starting and finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the necessity to swap out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuums uk vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it does have distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a clean sink as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning or recall the robot vacuum cleaner or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni 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.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets caught in a blockage like a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.

On the positive 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. It's a huge difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
