The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those looking to get rid of mopping off their to-do lists. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and Automatic Vacuum Cleaner refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner (Highly recommended Internet site) that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It uses 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 robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery midway through cleaning.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into narrow corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot vacuum best mop and vacuums I've tested. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping purposes you must be aware of this.

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 wide range of features.

The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and methodically. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning, while also being relatively quick.

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 places. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent build-up and reduce the smell.

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 automatic vacuum cleaner a random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a high price tag but has a variety of smart features. It is important to remember that the device is subject to recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example 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 should be replaced every three to six months.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. It has an energy 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 robot mop and vacuum task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who wants an organized home that doesn't require much time doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able to capture a lot of the hair our cats shed, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some pleasant jingles that indicated when it was beginning or completing its task.

The app was too easy and you had to change the modules each time you changed between mops and vacuuming. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a hassle for homes with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot hoover that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. However, it has distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a clean sink as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically emptys.

The base has a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will steer clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in a hazard like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you remove it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.

On the bright side, the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad apparatus. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
