The best robotic mop and vacuum robot vacuum that mops (git.ringzle.com)

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning robot mop and vacuum equipment. His main focus is mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It is smaller than other models and makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that lasts for up to 170-minutes when mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's efficient and does a great 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 pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt hair, pet hair, and poop with ease. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful in tight corners or on baseboards. The same front arms can be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tried. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and performs well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely to mop, 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 cleaner with a variety of features.

The device is equipped with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the house and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This leads to an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach an array of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can be extended to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. In addition, the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also decide to disable the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device has a fairly expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of advanced features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter must 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 vacuum also comes with an energy button that doubles as the 'Clean button' and a Home button that allows it to go home after cleaning. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants an organized home that doesn't require hours doing chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean house with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, which means it is able to handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum reviews is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with a microfiber pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming, but it does mean that you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our test participants found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature is its precise floorplan map, which it employs when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect many of the hair sheds from our cats. It even got into the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app is not able to store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuum that vacuums and mops is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive of our review. It does however, have some unique features which make it worth looking into. The X1 Omni is notable for its massive dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for Best Robot Vacuum That Mops cleaning and two 4-liter water tanks. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning job or recall the robot or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Press two of the buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about children playing with the vacuum.

Similar to other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

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 ceases to function until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad except for the fact that the 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 sleek, modern-looking base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the utilitarian, black bases of competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome view in a market that is dominated by clunky boxy models.
