The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who want to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. They feature impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and 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 has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It's quick 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 just one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or along baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much 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 proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install and performs well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely to mop, you will need to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a wide range of features.

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls or other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly 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 turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to keep in mind that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. These include the power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. 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 professional with a lot of work or just want an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated but they're a good thing because you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to create a route when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to protect specific areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up hair from pets. It was able capture the majority of hair shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was quiet and even had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was about to start or finished its work.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the need to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want a smart robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot hoover and mop vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have certain unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control that let you manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two of the buttons to turn off the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify 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.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in a blockage, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert in its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't a big deal aside from the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses and can cause 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 dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a huge difference from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for an industry dominated by boxy units.
