The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers can be ideal for those who want to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot hoover vacuum that can also mop, this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other options on this list making it easier to navigate in tight corners and under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's quick and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, hallways, and living room in one go. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as good. The mop rotates quickly and utilizes 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a little more than other robots. This is helpful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or along baseboards. Those same front arms can also be employed to clean up larger debris, robot vacuum and mop like broken toys and fallen books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's simple to set up and performs well however, it's something you'll need to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase an extremely efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and also detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively rapid.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surfaces. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be cleaned and dried to avoid build-up and lessen the odors.

Another noteworthy feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it will make, which will affect how fast the device will move through your home. You can also turn off the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of advanced features. It's important to note that it incurs regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuums best vacuum also comes with an power button that doubles as a 'Clean' button' as well as a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent 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, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps in and out of place. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to think 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 best rated robot vacuum feature was its accurate map of your floorplan, which it uses to draw a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able capture some of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs where other robots have struggled. It was quiet and even had some lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or completing its task.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a great choice for those who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it has some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock, which serves as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two 4 liter water tanks, a cleaning sink, and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to manually start cleaning, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to turn off the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognising objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in an obstruction, such as the power cord that is draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you remove it manually. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni doesn't have an "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This can cause 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 dreamed up its sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad apparatus. It's a significant change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing appearance in a market which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
