The best robot cleaner Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His main focus is robot vacuums, and mopping combinations. These multitaskers are an excellent option for those looking to cross mopping off the to-do list. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

If you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop, this is the model you should go for. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It features a 220-degree Lidar which, when combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can last longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to replenish its battery in mid-clean.

It's fast and does an excellent job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can automatic vacuum cleaner carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one motion. Its suction motor of 8,000pa makes short work of picking up dirt, crumbs and pet hair. Carpet detection increases power automatically when it encounters rugs and the two side brushes help to tease out dirt from corners.

The mopping efficiency is less impressive, though not by a lot. The mop's rotating mechanism spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stain. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful for getting into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can be used to sweep larger pieces of debris, such as broken toys or books.

Another great feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've ever tried. It doesn't create as loud of a sound while vacuuming or mopping and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The only downside is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform its mopping function and is separate from the vacuum. It is simple to install, and it works well. However when you purchase this robot vacuum solely to mop you must pay attention to this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is a powerful cleaner with a wide range of features.

The device comes with an impressive and powerful cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map the house and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and methodically. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively fast.

In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads can reach an array of surfaces. These include corners, baseboards, and other difficult-to-access spots. They also have a stretchy side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to eliminate odors and stop buildup.

Another noteworthy feature is the customization options that are available through apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction strength and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also choose the number of passes, which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rug.

The device comes with a expensive price tag, but it has a variety of innovative features. It is important to note that the device incurs periodic costs in the form of mopping supplies as well as regular maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three months.

This robotic vacuum cleaner is a top Amazon rating and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. This includes the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button, as well as a 'Home button that sends it back to its base station after completing 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 dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who wants to keep their home tidy without spending too much time on chores. It has powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life that makes it simple to keep your home clean with little effort.

The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop which means it can handle mopping and vacuuming. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping module which includes an elastomer pad. It's not the most modern thing to have separate modules for vacuuming and mopping, but it does mean you don't need to worry about changing out disposable bags or refilling the tank of water.

Our test subjects found that the Matrix Plus did a great job of 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 effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to shield specific areas of your home from being swept with mop.

The Matrix Plus also did a remarkable job at picking up pet hair. It was able capture a lot of the hair that shed by our cats, and even got into the nooks and crannies on our stairs, where other robots struggled. The noise levels were low, and there were some lovely jingles that signal that it was beginning and getting its work done.

Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the necessity to switch between the modules to switch between vacuuming and mopping. The app doesn't have the capacity to store multiple maps, which can be a pain when you live in a house that has a variety of floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who are looking for a smart device that can vacuum and mop.

The Yiko X1 Omni

The X1 Omni robot vacuum is the most expensive in our review. However, it has some unique features which are worth a look. The X1 Omni is notable 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 an 2.5 milliliter dust bin.

The base also has a number of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning and then recall the robot vacuum Cleaners best or start the dock's auto vacuum and mop-emptying process. Hold down two of the buttons to turn off a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.

Like other robotic vacuums, the Omni Omni uses 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 accurate at recognising objects.

This can cause the X1 to become stuck when it gets caught in an obstacle like a power cable tangled over a rug. It won't function until you manually untangle it. This was a rare occurrence however it was frustrating since the X1 does not have a "stuck status" alert on its app.

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

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek modern, contemporary base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals such as Roborock or iRobot. It's also an excellent choice for an industry dominated by boxy units.
