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, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be ideal for those looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some models have superior navigation and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other options, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last 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 replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease away debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away 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. Those same front arms can be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot cleaner mops and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping, 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 cleaning machine with a variety of features.

The device comes with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth or more randomized pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It can do both mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that has a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair from pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some lovely jingles that inform you that it was beginning and finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the need to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum cleaner best vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it does have some unique features which make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its huge dock that serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and an automatic vacuum and mop 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

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

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path, and then 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 become stuck when it is entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. This is a rare event however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't a big deal apart from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or 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 difference from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxy units.
