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 mopping and robot vacuum best vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic hoover vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other options on this list making it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It is very 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 only one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. 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 much. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like books and broken toys.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest best robot hoover vacuums and mops I've ever tried. 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 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 install and is effective however, this is something that you'll need 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 the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a variety of features.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and also find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and effectively. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the intensity of its suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it has a variety of innovative features. It's important to note that it incurs regular costs in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be replaced every one to three month.

The robot mop vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that doubles 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 comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop 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 clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life allow you 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 both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two parts, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which is equipped with a microfiber pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs 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 keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting hair of pets. It was able to collect a lot of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that indicated when it was beginning or finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the necessity to switch between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. However, it has distinct features that make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its huge dock that doubles as a charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning job and then recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock, which is a nice touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot 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 will occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned 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 created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant difference from the utilitarian black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy models.
