The best robot cleaner Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum reviews vacuum cleaner that also mop. It is smaller than other options, making it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best robot vacuum cleaner and mop navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well however it's something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and effectively. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach a wide range of surface areas. They can reach corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine how fast the device will move through your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

This device is expensive but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's important to keep in mind that it has regular costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance the brushroll has 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 must be changed every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops, enquiry, has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. It has an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home' button that will send it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy with minimal 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 that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that is equipped with an elastomer pad. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up pet hair. It was able capture many of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was starting and getting its work done.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuum that vacuums and mops is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it also has unique features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its huge dock which doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two of the buttons to switch on a child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses 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.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will sometimes get so entangled with obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
