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 appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to get mopping off their to-do list. They feature impressive mapping and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has 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 the form of a robotic cleaner and mop vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's extremely fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by much. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and is effective however, it's something you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this Best robot vacuum cleaner UK vacuum solely for the 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 machine for cleaning with a range of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and also identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that's also fairly fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching an array of surfaces. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other difficult-to-access spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of advanced features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads must be replaced every one to three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. It has the power button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two modules which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module that is equipped with 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 out disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able to collect a lot of the hair that sheds from our cats. It even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots had struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to signal that it was starting and getting its work done.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to swap out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot automatic vacuum and mop that mops in our test, but it has some unique features that are worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that serves as an charging base for the robot vacuum best, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning job or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to detect 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 recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it is entangled in an obstacle like a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you remove it manually. This is a rare event however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue except for the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a major change 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 boxes and clunky models.
