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 appliances, focusing on robot vacuums and mopping combos. These multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacle avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you need to pick if you are looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner [browse around this site] that can also mop. It's smaller than other options and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 mins when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery midway through cleaning.

It's extremely fast and does a fantastic 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 sweep. Its suction motor of 8,000pa is quick at picking up dirt, droppings, and pet hair. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as impressive. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and makes use of 2.2lbs to remove dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm extends out a bit more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can be employed to clean up larger debris, like broken toys and fallen books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mop and vacuums I've used. It doesn't create as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a proprietary cleaning solution for its mopping function and is sold separately from the vacuum. It's easy to install and works well, but it's something you'll have to keep an eye on in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a wide range of features.

The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map the home and locate furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean effectively and effectively. This will ensure an efficient and consistent cleaning and is also quick.

In terms of mopping, Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach a wide range of surface areas. This includes corners or baseboards, as well as other hard-to-reach spots. They also have a flexible side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. Additionally, the mop pads can be dried and washed to prevent build-up and reduce the smell.

Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction level and select either a back-and-forth or a 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 disable the side brush in order to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it comes with a large selection of smart features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has regular expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads must be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and comes with a wide array of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also has a power button which doubles as a 'Clean button' and a 'Home' button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and wash and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good choice for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both 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 microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for mopping and vacuuming but it does mean you don't have to fret about changing the bags for disposables or refilling the tank with water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best rated robot vacuum feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly through rugs, furniture and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect a large amount of hair that our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crannies of our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels of the robot vacuum cleaner best were low and there were pleasant jingles to inform you that it was in the process of working towards its goal.

Its main drawbacks were its simplistic app and the necessity to change out the modules whenever switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't store multiple maps. This can be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some distinct features that make it worth considering. 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 4-liter water tanks. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 dust bin that is 2.5 liters.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning job or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle a child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about their 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 avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system will map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.

The X1 can be prone to get stuck if it is entangled in an obstacle like the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not have a "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad, except that mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot, and a welcome appearance in a market that is dominated by clunky boxes and clunky models.
