5 Reasons To Consider Being An Online Best Robot Vacuum That Mops Buyer And 5 Reasons You Shouldn't

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He reviews and tests cleaning appliances, focusing on robot vacuum and mop vacuums and mopping combos. Multitaskers are a great option for those who wish to take mopping off their to-do list. Some have great mapping and obstacles avoidance. Some wash and refill mopping pads to ensure a hands-free clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should pick if you are looking for an automatic autonomous vacuum cleaner (similar webpage) that can also mop. It's smaller than other models and makes it easier to maneuver in tight corners or under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, offers some of the best robot vacuum cleaner and mop navigation and avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It's powered by a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes if mopping and sucking is set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery part way through cleaning.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It is able to vacuum carpeted rooms quickly, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one pass. The suction motor's 8,000pa is quick at picking up sand, dirt, and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it comes in contact with carpets and the two side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, but not by a lot. The rotating mop spins at a high speed and pushes down with 2.2lbs of force, effortlessly scrubbing up dirt and staining. I've noticed that the front arm sticks out a little more than other robots. This is useful when getting into narrow corners or on baseboards. The front arms can also be employed to clean larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys and fallen books.

Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuum and mop vacuums and mop I've tried. It doesn't produce the same amount of noise while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only issue is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install and performs well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely to mop you must be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums that mop in its class. It is a powerful machine for cleaning with a wide range of features.

The device is equipped with a powerful cleaning system that incorporates LiDAR sensor technology and an RGB camera. This allows it to map out the home and detect furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This results in an effective, consistent cleaning that is also quite fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach many surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other difficult to reach areas. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can be extended to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be cleaned and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce odors.

Another notable feature is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you alter the suction intensity and choose 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 move around your home. You can also choose to disable the side brush to prevent damaging carpets and rugs.

The device is costly, but has many smart features. It's crucial to remember that it carries periodic costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to twelve months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours, and the mop pads should be changed every three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner has an excellent rating on Amazon and includes a broad array of physical automation features. These include an energy button that serves as a general "Clean button, as well as a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing its cleaning task. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically emptys 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 option for busy professionals or anyone looking to keep their home tidy without spending too much time doing chores. It's a top-performing device, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that allows you to keep your home clean with minimal effort.

The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a two-in-one mop and vacuum. It can do both vacuuming as well as mopping. It has two modules: a combined dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping unit with microfiber pads that snap into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated however, they 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 and mopping. Its greatest feature was its precise map of your floorplan that it uses to draw an outline for cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture, and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' and virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.

We also discovered that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair of pets. It was able to capture an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed and even was able to get into the nooks and crannys of our stairs while other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to signal that it was starting and getting its work done.

The biggest flaws were its simplistic app and the necessity to switch out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app can't keep multiple maps. This could be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a excellent choice for those who want a device that can mop and vacuum.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it comes with some distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its massive dock which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two water tanks, a sink for cleaning as well as the 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.

The base comes with a few control buttons, which allow you to manually begin a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock’s auto-emptying procedure. Press two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a great feature for parents who are concerned about their kids messing around with the vacuum.

The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to spot obstacles and furniture in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system maps your home 10 times faster than conventional laser detection systems and is four times more accurate at recognising objects.

Unfortunately this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally get caught up in obstacles, like the power cord that is draped across a rug that it becomes stuck and stops working until you manually free it. While this was rare however, it was a gruelling experience when it did happen particularly since the X1 Omni does not come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.

The X1 Omni cannot automatically switch from mopping mode to vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You will need to manually swap between the two, which isn't too bad except for the fact that mopping pads aren't washed and dried between uses, which can lead to mildew or mold.

On the bright 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 big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for the market that is dominated by boxy units.
