The best robot vacuum that mops Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances, focusing on mopping and robot vacuum with mop vacuum combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. Some have great mapping capabilities and obstacle avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other options which makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and object avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that lasts 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 replenish its battery mid-clean.

It's very efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects rugs and the double side brush assists in removing debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The rotating mop spins at a high velocity and it pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily scraping away dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to maneuver around tight corners and on baseboards. Those same front arms can also be used to sweep up larger debris, like broken toys or books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest Best robot vacuum cleaner UK vacuums and mop I've ever used. 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 has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and works well however, this is something that you'll need to keep an eye on when you purchase this vacuum solely for the reason of mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and adaptable 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. It can then use this information to clean efficiently and intelligently. This leads to an efficient, consistent clean that is also quite fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surface areas. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach places. They also come with a stretchy side brush that extends to reach the floor near walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to remove odors and prevent buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the amount of suction and select between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will affect how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also disable the side brush in order to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It is important to remember, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping equipment and regular 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.

This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide range of physical automation features. This includes a power button that can also function as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home button that will take it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically empties 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 just want to have a clean home without spending a lot of time on chores The Shark Matrix Plus is a good choice. It has powerful performance, smart navigation, and a long battery life that makes it easy to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot vacuum cleaners uk 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 microfiber pads. It's a little old-fashioned to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping but it does mean that you don't have to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. It was easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers to stop certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at collecting hair from pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even found its way into the nooks and crevices of our stairs while other robots struggled. It was fairly quiet and had some pleasant jingles that indicated when it was about to start or finishing its work.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the requirement to change out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't hold multiple maps, which can be a problem when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want a smart robot that can do both vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it also has distinctive features that make it worth considering. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a clean sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock which is a great touch for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

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

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it gets entangled in a blockage, such as the power cable that is draped over a rug. It won't work until you untangle it manually. This is a rare event however it was frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert on its app.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during cleaning. You will have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, the mopping pad doesn't get washed or dried between uses. This can cause 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 huge contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for a market dominated by clunky boxy models.
