The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault works as a product analyst for good robot vacuum Housekeeping's Home Care and Cleaning Lab.

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the best automatic vacuum navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through an efficient.

It is very quick 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 with only one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms extend out a bit more than other robots, which is useful to get into tight corners and on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to pick up larger pieces of debris, like books and broken toys.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning that's also fairly fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching many different surface areas. This includes corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will affect the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and rug.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot of smart features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device incurs regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads must be changed every one to three month.

This robot vacuum mop is a top Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. It has the power 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 task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. It's a top-performing device, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module which is equipped with an elastomer 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 disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect certain areas of your house from being swept with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even got into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot were low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and getting its work done.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app isn't able to store multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home with a mix of 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 certain unique features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that serves as an charging base for the robot vacuums best, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base has several control buttons, which allow you to manually start cleaning tasks and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

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

This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. While this was rare but it was a very frustrating experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the positive 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, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
