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 focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to take mopping off their to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mops then this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other options which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best robotic mop and vacuum navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and robot vacuum and mop does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one motion. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by a lot. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the automatic vacuum and mop. It is simple to install, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a variety of features.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This results in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surface areas. They can reach corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. They also have a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It's important to keep in mind that it has recurring expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robot vacuum mop has an excellent Amazon rating and includes many physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as a 'Clean button' and a Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

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

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best automatic vacuum feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to keep specific areas of your home from being cleaned with 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 that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots have struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some pleasant jingles to let you know that it was beginning and finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to change the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app can't save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our review, but it has some unique features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning job, recall the robot, or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it is entangled in a hazard, such as a power cable tangled over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll need to manually swap between the two, which isn't too bad aside from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between use and can cause mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing view in a market which is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
