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. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through a clean.

It's extremely fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one sweep. Its 8,000pa suction motor is quick at picking up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've 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 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 vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't create as loud of a 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 must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's easy to install and performs well however this is something you'll need 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 the majority of robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuums which mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable 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 the house, identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a 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 prevent damage to carpets and carpets.

This device has a fairly expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It's crucial to keep in mind that it has recurring costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum uk vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum cleaners best vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' as well as a 'Home button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module that includes microfiber pads. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping however it does mean you don't have to fret about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot cleaner feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair from pets. It was able capture a large amount of hair that shed by our cats and even got into the nooks and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was in the process of finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the requirement to swap out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which could be a hassle when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who are looking for a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it does have some unique features which are worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its massive dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a clean sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then 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 become so entangled with obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, mopping pads don'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 significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market that is dominated by bulky boxy models.
