The Best robot vacuum cleaner UK Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to navigate into tight corners and underneath furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts 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 extremely fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to clean dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris like broken toys and books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot cleaner with mop vacuums and mop I've tried. It doesn't make 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 has to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective, but 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 which mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners and baseboards as well as other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of smart features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has recurring expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. The vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys 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 professional with a lot of work or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot cleaner comes with two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming might seem a bit outdated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan which it uses to create a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting pet hair. It was able to capture some of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was quiet and had some nice jingles that signalled when it was about to start or completing its task.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app cannot store multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those 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 mops in our test, but it also has unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off 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 uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it gets entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have 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 can cause mildew and mold.

On the bright 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, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
