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 get mopping off their to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some even wash and refill their mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for an automatic vacuum and mop robot vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It uses a 220 degree lidar which, when paired with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the Best robot vacuum uk navigation and object avoidance that I've ever seen in a robotic vacuum. It has a 4600mAh battery which can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can be more efficient when using turbo). It can even return to its dock to recharge its battery mid-clean.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one pass. The motor's 8,000pa power allows it to pick up dirt, pet hair, and droppings effortlessly. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects rugs and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as good. The rotating mop spins at a high rate and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, easily cleaning up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful when you're trying to get into difficult corners or on baseboards. The front arms can be used to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

The S1 Pro is also one of the quietest robot mops and vacuums I've tested. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up and works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping purposes you must pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a variety of features.

The device has an impressive and powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the home and identify furniture and other obstacles. It then uses this information to clean efficiently and effectively. This will result in an efficient, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach many different surfaces. They can reach 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. In addition the mop pads can be washed and dried to avoid build-up and lessen odors.

Another notable feature is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the amount of suction and choose between a back-and-forth or slightly more random patterns. You can also adjust the number of passes it should make, which will affect how quickly the device can traverse your home. You can even choose to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging rugs and carpets.

It's expensive, however it has many useful features. It's crucial to note that it incurs recurring costs in the form of mopping supplies and maintenance. For example the brushroll needs to be replaced after 300 hours or every six to 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every three to six months.

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

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be a good option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time doing chores. Its powerful performance, smart navigation and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home 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. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and water reservoir, and a separate mopping module with microfiber pads that snap in and out of place. 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.

The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its best robot vacuum cleaner and mop feature was its accurate floorplan which it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture carpets, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mop.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well at picking up hair of pets. It was able capture the majority of hair that shed by our cats and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and finishing its work.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simplistic app and the need to switch between the modules to switch between mopping and vacuuming. The app cannot store multiple maps. This could be a problem if your home has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those who want an intelligent robot that is capable of vacuuming and mopping.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it comes with some distinct features that are worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable for its enormous dock that doubles as an charging base for the robot, a sink for cleaning and two water tanks of 4 liters. It also houses the 2.5-liter dustbin and the 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base also comes with a set of control buttons that allow you to start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's auto-emptying process. Press two buttons to turn off the child lock. This is a wonderful feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni utilizes its camera to identify furniture and obstacles in its path and eliminate 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 the power cord that is draped across a rug, that it gets stuck and ceases to function until you free it. This was a rare incident, but frustrating nonetheless, since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert in its app.

Another possible issue is one of the biggest drawbacks is X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between vacuuming and mopping modes during the cleaning process. You'll have to manually swap between the two, which isn't an issue except for the fact that the mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses, 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 base and mopping pad. It's a big difference from the utilitarian black bases of competitors like Roborock or iRobot. It's also a welcome sight for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
