The best robot cleaner Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some of them have excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should pick if you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums best vacuums. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop rotates quickly and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is useful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create the same volume of 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 must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install and works well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely for mopping you must pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This results in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. These include corners or baseboards, as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and carpets.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. It has the power 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 once it has completed its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want a cleaner home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid option. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuums that mop (Resource) vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. It was 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 that help to protect certain areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up pet hair. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low and there were pleasant jingles to let you know that it was starting and getting its work done.

The app was too simple and you had to switch the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. It does however, have certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot vacuum best or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than standard laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You will need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between uses which could 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
