The Best robot vacuum cleaner UK Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're 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 robot vacuum and mop under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery which lasts up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through an efficient.

It's extremely efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. Its 8,000pa suction motor will quickly pick up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the double side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots that vacuum and mop, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to pick up larger pieces of debris, such as books and toys that have been damaged.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't produce more noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely for mopping, you will need 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 range of features.

The device comes with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surface areas. This includes corners, baseboards and other hard to reach places. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction and choose between a back-andforth or more random pattern. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to protect your carpets from damage. rugs.

This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of smart features. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular maintenance. For robot vacuum and mop 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 robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. These include the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning task. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empties 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 who wants to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life make it simple to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum that vacuums and mops comes with two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to determine a route when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers, which can help to shield specific areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.

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

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the need to change between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our test, but it has some distinct features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock which serves as the robot vacuum that vacuums and mops's charging base and the housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that automatically empties.

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

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets caught in a hazard like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't 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 cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that 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 contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxes.
