The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models, making it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under 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 obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through cleaning.
It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It cleans the carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, and hallways in one go. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and books.
The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've used. It doesn't make as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to install and works well however this is something you'll have to be aware of when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from most robot hoover and mop vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a wide range of features.
The device has a powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and effectively. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively fast.
In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. They also come with 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.
App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.
It's expensive, but has many smart features. It is important to keep in mind that the device is subject to periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three months.
This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning session. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the dustbin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum cleaner uk vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum reviews is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module which has a microfiber pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables 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. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture the majority of hair our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some nice jingles to signal that it was in the process of getting its work done.
Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the necessity to swap out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which can be a problem for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our test, but it comes with some distinct features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its huge dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.
The base also has a number of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its app.
The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between use. 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 came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
