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

The best robot vacuum that mops (go now)

Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.

He tests and evaluates cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to remove mopping from their list of tasks. Some have great navigation and obstacles avoidance. Some even wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model to select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It is smaller than other models which makes it more maneuverable in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of the best navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums that mop vacuums. It has a hefty 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's extremely efficient and does an outstanding job cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It vacuums carpeted areas extremely quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room, and hallways in a single sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt, pet hair, and poop with ease. Carpet detection automatically boosts power when it comes into contact with rugs, and the two side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by much. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. 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 narrow corners or on baseboards. Those same front arms can be used to clean larger objects, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the most quiet robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't make as much noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it must use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to set up and is effective however it's something you'll have to be aware of if you're buying this robot vacuum for the sole purpose of it mopping.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo is different from other robot cleaner vacuums in its class. It is a powerful cleaning machine with a range of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and 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 effectively. This will ensure a thorough and consistent clean and is also quick.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. They can reach corners and baseboards as well as other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched out to extend to the floor, close to the walls or other fixtures. The mop pads are also washable and dry to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

App-based customization is yet another noteworthy feature. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction level and select a back-and forth or slightly random pattern. You can also set the number of passes it must make, which will determine how fast the device will traverse your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to protect your carpets from damage. rugs.

The device has a expensive price tag, but it is packed with a wide array of smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs recurring 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 12 months. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide variety of physical automation features. This includes an energy button that serves as a general "Clean' button and a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station once it has completed its cleaning task. It also has a multifunctional dock that automatically empties the trash bin and refills its water tank to mop and washes and dry its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one vacuum and mop. It is able to perform vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot comes with two modules: a dry bin and water reservoir and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping may appear a bit dated, but they do mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refilling the water tank.

The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming as well as mopping. Its best feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app lets you create 'No-Go Zones' as well as virtual barriers to prevent certain areas from being cleaned by a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able to collect a lot of the hair that our cats shed, and even made it into the nooks and crannies on our stairs where other robots that vacuum and mop have struggled. Its noise levels were fairly low and there were lovely jingles that signal that it was starting and getting its work done.

The app was too simple and you had to alter the modules each time you changed between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to hold multiple maps, which can be a hassle for homes that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good choice for people who want an intelligent robot that can perform both mopping and vacuuming.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot mop vacuum that can be found in our test, but it has some distinctive features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's main draw is its enormous dock, which doubles as a charging base and the housing for two water tanks, a clean sink and the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically eliminates.

The base has several control buttons, which allow you to manually start a cleaning task and then recall the robot or run the dock's automatic emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to switch off the child lock. This is a great feature for parents worried about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The Omni Omni like other robotic hoovers vacuums, utilizes its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will stay clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.

The X1 can be prone to become stuck when it is entangled in a hazard like a power cable 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 and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but mopping pads don't get washed or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.

On the positive side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who conceptualized its modern and sleek base as well as 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 the market that is dominated by boxy units.
