The Best Robot 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 equipment, with a focus on robot vacuum cleaners reviews vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other options and makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best rated robot vacuum navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into tight corners or along baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's simple to install and performs well, but this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on if you're buying this Robot vacuums That mop (dev.zenith.Sh.cn) vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to alter the amount of suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also select the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can even choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

This device is expensive but it comes with a lot of smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. These include a power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending much time doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot automatic vacuum and mop is an all-in-one mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping system with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan that it uses to determine a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers, which help to shield certain areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair from pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crevices of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was relatively quiet and had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was about to start or finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the need to swap between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

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 make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles 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 dustbin and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base comes with a couple of buttons for control, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock’s auto vacuum and mop-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and 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 could occasionally get caught up in an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the 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 designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for the market that is dominated by boxy units.
