The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He reviews and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on robot mop vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. Some have great mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robotic cleaner and mop vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 minutes if cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's extremely quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways with just one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa makes short work of picking up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by much. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever tried. It doesn't create the same amount of noise while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for mopping, and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's easy to install and works well, but this is something you'll have to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of best robot vacuum cleaner and mop vacuums that mop 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 integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house, detect furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to the walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the intensity of its suction and select between a back-andforth or more random patterns. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

The device has a high price tag but is packed with a wide array of advanced features. It is important to remember that the device incurs 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 12 months. The filter is to be cleaned every 150 hours, and mop pads should be changed every three month.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or someone who wants a cleaner home without spending hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent choice. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life make it simple to maintain 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. The robot comes with two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank of water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" and best robot vacuum That mops virtual barriers, which help to keep certain areas of your home from being scrubbed with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair of pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that shed by our cats and even found its way into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was fairly silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't save multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for 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, however it also has distinctive features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its huge dock, which serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base comes with several control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot vacuum that mops or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are concerned about their children messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path, and then avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognising objects.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni can occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as an electrical cord dangling across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. Although this is not a common occurrence, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause 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 conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot and is a refreshing appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
