The Best robot vacuums that mop 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 appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their list of tasks. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free cleaning.

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 the other models and makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh that can last for up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger debris such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't create the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well however it's something you'll have to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

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 variety of features.

The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that extends to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It is important to keep in mind that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes the power button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat 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 is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that is equipped with an elastomer pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan which it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture 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 cleaned with a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to capture a large amount of hair shed by our cats and even was able to get into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was quiet and had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was starting or completing its task.

The app was too easy and you had to alter the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum reviews vacuum that mops in our review, but it has some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums, uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will steer 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 when it gets entangled in a blockage, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. This was a rare incident however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning robot mop and vacuum process. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't too bad except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between use and can cause mildew or 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 came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a big departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
