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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum cleaners best vacuum combos.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to look for. It's smaller than other models on this list, making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 minutes if 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 is very fast and does an excellent job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt, pet hair, and even droppings easily. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help draw out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is helpful in tight corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to collect larger objects like books and broken toys.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't produce the same volume of 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 utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and is effective, but this is something that you'll have to keep an eye on if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a wide range of features.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also alter the number of passes it should make, which will determine how quickly the device can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

This device has a fairly expensive price, but is packed with a wide array of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device will incur regular expenses, such as mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months.

The robot is divided into two parts that include a dry bin as well as a water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping unit that is equipped with microfiber pads. 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 the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best robot cleaner feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair from pets. It was able capture many of the hair our cats shed, and even made it into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was relatively silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finishing its work.

Its main drawbacks were its simple app and the need to swap out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive item in our review. It does however, have distinct features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its huge dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base has several control buttons that allow you to manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock, which is a nice option for parents concerned about their children playing with the vacuum.

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni will occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This was a rare occurrence, robot vacuum cleaners best but frustrating nonetheless, because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad but the mopping pad doesn't get cleaned or dried between uses. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. It's also an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
