The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. Some models have superior mapping capabilities and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads for a hands-free cleaning.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than other models on this list, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220-degree lidar, which when combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it the best navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to top up its battery part way through cleaning.

It is very fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted rooms extremely quickly and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in one go. The suction motor's 8,000pa will quickly pick up sand, dirt and pet hair. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance is a little less impressive, though not by much. The mop's rotating motor spins at a high rate and is pushed down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It doesn't create as loud of a sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping and is sold separately from the vacuum. It is easy to set up and performs well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely for mopping it is important to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great option for homeowners looking for an efficient, flexible and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with a powerful 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. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This ensures a thorough and consistent clean, while also being relatively rapid.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction, and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

This device is expensive but has many smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example, the brushroll will need to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to twelve months. The filter must be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.

The robot vacuum mop has a high Amazon rating and comes with an array of physical automation features. This includes a power button that doubles as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash 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 hours doing chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a solid choice. It is a powerful machine with smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

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

Our testers discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature was its accurate map of your floorplan, which it uses to create a route when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was silent and also had a few lovely jingles to signalled when it was starting or finishing its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to change out the modules when switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app is not able to save multiple maps. This could be an issue if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that can be found in our test, but it has some unique features that are worth considering. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot vacuum cleaner uk, a cleaning sink and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning, recall the robot vacuums with mop, or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the X1 Omni utilizes its camera to spot furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more accurate in recognizing objects.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets entangled in an obstacle, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. While it was not common, it was a frustrating experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its app.

Another potential downside is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically change between vacuuming and mopping modes during a cleaning session. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't 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 created its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxes.
