The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be ideal for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. Some of them have excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to navigate through tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through a clean.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways with only one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well however it's something you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuum uk vacuums that mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase a highly effective, versatile and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and find furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This ensures an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction and select between a back-andforth, or a more randomized pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every three month.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. The robot Vacuums that Mop 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 empty the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home 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 has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan map, which it uses to create an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were nice jingles to signal that it was starting and working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules every time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it comes with some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock which serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.

The base comes with a few control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops, or run the dock's automatic vacuum and mop emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets entangled in an obstacle like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. 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 the sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
