The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuums that mop - Trade Britanica`s recent blog post, vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to get mopping off their to-do list. Some of them have excellent navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other options on this list which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best automatic vacuum and mop navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping 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 top up its battery part way through cleaning.

It is very quick and does a great 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 sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The rotating mop spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be employed to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't make the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It's easy to install and performs well however this is something you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device has a powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach a wide range of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another notable feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to protect your carpets from damage. rug.

The device has a high price tag but has a variety of innovative features. It is important to remember that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. This includes a power button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry 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 excellent choice. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that allows you to keep your home tidy 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 components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that includes a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan which it uses to determine the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your house from being cleaned with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to capture a lot of the hair our cats shed, and even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some nice jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finished its work.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it also has unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base and housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a clean sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start cleaning and then recall the robot vacuum with mop or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum mop cleaner robot.

Like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to detect 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 occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you free it. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have a "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually swap between the two, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that 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 apparatus. It's a major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
