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, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets, and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a bit more than other robots. This is useful in narrow corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to use a mopping solution that is proprietary and is sold separately. It is easy to install, and it works 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 machine for cleaning 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 home, identify furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This ensures an even and thorough clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach places. They also have a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and dry to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it will make, which will affect the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of innovative features. It's crucial to note that it incurs periodic costs, such as mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads should be replaced every one to three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and includes an array of physical automation features. It has a power button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and wash and drys its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its incredibly fast performance, sophisticated navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum best vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. The robot has two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of position. 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 disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able capture a lot of the hair that shed by our cats, and even made it into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, automatic vacuum cleaner where other robots struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was starting or completing its task.

Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the need to switch between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps, which could be a problem if you have a home with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for automatic vacuum cleaner those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot automatic vacuum and mop that mops in our review, but it has some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a clean sink as well as a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task or recall the robot, or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums the Omni Omni uses its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid 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 recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like a power cord 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 doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and 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 came up with its modern, sleek base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing view in a market that is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
