You'll Never Guess This Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

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. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. Multitaskers can be a great option for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their list of tasks. They are equipped with impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their mopping pads for a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should choose if you want a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight spaces or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in the form of 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 be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through cleaning.

It's quick and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It vacuums the carpeted rooms extremely quickly and the hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single pass. Its 8,000pa motor is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency, while still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and utilizes 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stain. I've noticed that the front arms extend out slightly more than other robots that vacuum and mop, which is useful to maneuver around tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've tried. It doesn't create the same volume of sound while vacuuming or mopping and is quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only drawback 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 install and performs well. However, if you are buying this vacuum solely for mopping purposes, you will need to be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to purchase a highly effective, versatile and ad-hoc cleaning machine.

The device comes with an efficient cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This enables it to map out your home and find furniture and other obstacles. It can then use this information to clean methodically and efficiently. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can be used to reach many different surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. In addition the mop pads are able to be dried and washed to avoid build-up and lessen the smell.

App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to adjust the suction intensity and choose either a back-and-forth or a random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it should make, which will determine how fast the device will move around your home. You can also disable the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

This device has a fairly high price tag but comes with a large selection of innovative features. It is important to remember, however, that the device is subject to regular expenses, such as mopping supplies and regular maintenance. For example brushrolls need to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pad must be replaced every three to six months.

The robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad variety of physical automation features. The vacuum also has a power button which doubles as the 'Clean button' and a 'Home button that allows it to go back home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank, and cleans 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 a lot of time on chores then the Shark Matrix Plus is a excellent option. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home tidy with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is an all-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two components, a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped out and in and a mopping module which is equipped with an elastomer pad. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated however, they mean you don't have to think about changing disposable bags or refilling the tank with water.

Our testers found that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature is its precise floorplan map, which it utilizes when cleaning. This made it easy for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers that help to protect specific areas of your home from being cleaned with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a amazing job of collecting hair from pets. It was able capture a lot of the hair shed by our cats, and even got into some of the corners and crevices of our stairs, where other robots had struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low, and there were some nice jingles to inform you that it was starting and working towards its goal.

The app was too basic and you had to alter the modules every time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app is not able to keep 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 are looking for a smart 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 review, but it comes with some unique features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is most well-known for its enormous dock that serves as a charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dust bin as well as a 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base has a few control buttons that allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or use the dock's auto-emptying procedure. Hold down two of the buttons to toggle the child lock that is a great feature for parents who are worried about children playing with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni, like other robotic cleaner and mop vacuums uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will 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 accurate in finding objects.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't work until you remove it manually. While it was not common however, it was a gruelling experience when it happened, especially since the X1 Omni does not come with a "stuck" status alert in its application.

The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will need to manually swap between the two modes, which isn't an issue aside from the fact that the mopping pads haven't been cleaned and dried between use, which can lead to mildew or mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed its sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a significant contrast to the basic black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. And it's a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
