The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are a great choice for those who want to cross mopping off the to-do list. They are equipped with impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some wash and refill their mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robotic vacuum that also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than other models and makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners or under furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best rated robot vacuum navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in the form of a robotic vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.

It's very fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum mop cleaner robot carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help draw out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high speed and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly cleaning up dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into tight corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be used to scoop up larger objects such as books and toys that have been damaged.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It is quieter and doesn't make more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and performs well however this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It comes with a wide array of features that make it an ideal option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the house and also detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and intelligently. This ensures an even and thorough clean and is also quick.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to reach the floor near to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent 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-and-forth or slightly more random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which will determine the speed at which it can move around your home. You can also choose to turn off the side brush to prevent damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive but has many smart features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has regular expenses in the form of mopping equipment and Best Robot Vacuum That Mops maintenance. For instance brushrolls need to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad should be replaced every three to six months.

The robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. This includes the power button that serves as a general "Clean button as well as a Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also has a multi-functional dock that automatically empty the trash bin and refills its water tank for mopping and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a busy professional or someone who just wants to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its powerful performance, smart navigation, and long battery life allow you 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 is divided into two parts which include a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module which is equipped with an elastomer pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may seem a bit old-fashioned however, they mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to draw a route when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate 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 noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were pleasant jingles to let you know that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

The biggest flaws were its lack of sophistication and the need to swap out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a pain for homes with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that can do both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in 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 cleaning and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses the 2.5-liter dust bin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

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

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

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets caught in a blockage like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

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 have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can 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 major contrast to the utilitarian, all-black bases that are used by rivals like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome sight in a space which is dominated by clunky boxy models.
