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. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot cleaner with mop vacuum that also mops then this is the model to go for. It's smaller than other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers one of my top 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 is able to run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through a clean.

It's extremely 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 with only one sweep. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to clean dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The mop rotates at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful when getting into tight corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger debris like broken toys and books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming, and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is simple to install, and it works well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely for mopping it is important to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a wide range of features.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house, find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This will ensure an even and thorough clean and is also rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will affect the speed at which the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, but it comes with a lot 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 instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve 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 robotic vacuum cleaner has a high Amazon rating and includes a wide range of physical automation features. These include an energy button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empties the dustbin, refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean you don't have to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to draw the path to follow when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing pet hair. It was able to capture many of the hair that our cats shed, and even got into some of the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were pleasant jingles to let you know that it was beginning and getting its work done.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the need to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't contain multiple maps, which can be a problem if you have a home that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuum cleaners best is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it also has distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its huge dock which serves as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as an automatic vacuum cleaner 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot vacuums best or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes 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 laser detection systems and is four times more precise in recognizing objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally become so entangled with obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert in its app.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or 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 dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
