The best robot hoover Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those who wish to get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping capabilities and obstacles-avoiding capabilities, and some even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking to buy a robot vacuum that also mops then this is the model to go for. It's smaller than the other options and makes it easier to maneuver into tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and [empty] object avoidance that I've ever seen in 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 is able to run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery in mid-clean.

It is very efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms incredibly quickly and hardwood floors in the hallways, and living room in a single pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and poop effortlessly. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help pull away debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop rotates at a high velocity and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which can be helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever used. It doesn't produce the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a exclusive cleaning solution for mopping and is separate from the vacuum. It's easy to install and performs well however it's something you'll need to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum solely for the purpose of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

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

The device is equipped with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach areas. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is another notable feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes, which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.

The device comes with a expensive price, but has a variety of innovative features. It's crucial to remember that it carries recurring expenses in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For instance, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and mop pads should be changed every one to three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. This includes a power button that doubles 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 session. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

If you're a professional with a lot of work or just want a cleaner home without spending much time doing chores, the Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life allow you to maintain a clean home with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It is capable of mopping and vacuuming. The robot hoover and mop is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping module that is equipped with a microfiber pad. It's a bit old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its best feature was its precise floorplan which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate easily through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting pet hair. It was able to collect a lot of the hair shed by our cats, and even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots that vacuum and mop have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some nice jingles to inform you that it was beginning and getting its work done.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the need to swap between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, but it comes with some unique features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock which doubles as the robot's charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a cleaning sink as well as an automatic vacuum and mop robot 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the Robot Hoover, or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will avoid 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 can occasionally become so entangled with an obstacle--such as a power cord draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and stops working until you manually free it. While this was rare, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have an "stuck" status alert on its application.

Another issue that could be a problem is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during a cleaning session. You'll have 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 can lead to mildew or mold.

On the bright side it's worth noting that 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 big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for the market that is dominated by boxy units.
