The best robotic mop and vacuum Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning equipment. His focus is on robot vacuums, automatic vacuum cleaner and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great navigation and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best automatic vacuum navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to its dock to replenish its battery during the cleaning.

It's efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt, pet hair, and droppings easily. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping performance is less impressive, but not by much. The mop rotates at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scraping away dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like books and broken toys.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop 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 S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up, and it works well. However should you purchase this vacuum solely to mop it is important to pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an extremely efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

It's expensive, but has many smart features. It is important to note that the device will incur periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example the brushroll has to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter will need to be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or just want a cleaner home without spending hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean house with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best robot vacuum and mop feature was its precise floorplan map, which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which help to shield specific areas of your home from being swept with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up pet hair. It was able capture many of the hair that shed by our cats, and even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots had struggled. It was relatively quiet and even had some pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finishing its work.

The app was too simple and you had to change the modules every time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robotic vacuum that is able to mop in our review, but it also has distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot vacuum cleaner, a cleaning sink and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These allow you to manually start a cleaning task or recall the robot 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 children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you free it. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it happened and especially because the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to 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 came up with its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
