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 tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers can be a great option for those who want to eliminate mopping from their list of things to do. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for a best robot vacuum that mops vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than other options, making it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in robot vacuums. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through an efficient.

It's fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen, and hallways with just one sweep. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and robot vacuum the double side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, is not as impressive. The mop rotates quickly and uses 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms stick out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and on 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 quietest robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is separate from the best automatic vacuum. It is simple to install and performs well. However, if you are buying this robot vacuum solely to mop you must be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and intelligently. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach places. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor close to the walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.

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

The device has a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of smart features. It is important to note, however, that the device will incur recurring expenses in the form mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For instance 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 must be replaced every one to three month.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has an energy button that 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

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life make it simple to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it can handle both vacuuming and mopping. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, 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 however it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app also offers the option to set "No-Go zones" and virtual barriers that help to protect certain areas of your house from being cleaned with a mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of picking up hair from pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crannies of our stairs which other robots that vacuum and mop struggled. It was silent and also had a few pleasant jingles that signalled when it was about to start or finished its work.

The biggest flaws were its simple app and the necessity to swap out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot save multiple maps. This can be an issue if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it also has distinct features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its massive dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a variety of buttons to control the system. These let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic vacuum and mop robot emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to switch on the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

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

Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could sometimes get so entangled with an obstruction, such as a power cord draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This was a rare occurrence however, it was a bit frustrating since the X1 does not have an "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another issue that could be a problem is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during cleaning. You'll have to manually switch between the two, which isn't too bad apart from the fact that mopping pads aren't cleaned and dried between uses which could lead to mildew or 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, sleek base and mopping pad. It's a huge departure from the utilitarian all-black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an impressive sight in an industry dominated by boxy units.
