You'll Be Unable To Guess Best Robot Vacuum That Mops's Tricks

The Best Robot Vacuum That Mops

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

He tests and evaluates cleaning equipment. His focus is on mopping and robot vacuum combinations. These multitaskers can be ideal for those who are looking to remove mopping from their to-do lists. They have impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance, and some wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.

The Eufy S1 Pro

This is the model you should select if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list which makes it easier to maneuver into tight corners and underneath furniture. It comes with a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, gives it some of my favorite navigation and object avoidance features I've seen in robot vacuums. It has a 4600mAh battery that can last up to 170 minutes when cleaning and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer on turbo). It can even return to the dock to replenish its battery halfway through cleaning.

It's fast and does a fantastic job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways with only one pass. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings with ease. Carpet detection boosts power automatically when it comes into contact with rugs, and the dual side brushes help to tease out debris from corners.

The mopping performance, though still impressive, isn't as effective. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms stick out slightly more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The front arms can also be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.

Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It doesn't create the same volume of sound when mopping or vacuuming and is much quieter than the Narwal Freo X Ultra or RoboRock S7. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it has to utilize a specific mopping solution and is sold separately. It is easy to set up, and it works well. However should you purchase this robot vacuum for mopping purposes you must be aware of this.

The Roborock Q Revo

The Q Revo stands apart from most robot vacuums that mops in its class. It is equipped with a broad array of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible, and customizable cleaning machine.

The device is equipped with an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that integrates LiDAR sensors and an RGB camera to map your home and locate furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean intelligently and efficiently. This will result in an effective, consistent cleaning which is also relatively fast.

The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad is capable of reaching many surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spots. The side brush can be stretched to extend to the floor, close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads can also be washable and can be dried to reduce odors and prevent buildup.

Another feature worth mentioning is the app-based customization options. The Q Revo lets you adjust the suction level and select an back-and-forth or random pattern. You can also select the number of passes which determines how fast it can move around your home. You can also turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and carpets.

This device is expensive but it comes with a lot of smart features. However, it's important to note that it incurs regular 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 is recommended to be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three months.

This robot vacuum that mops has an excellent rating on Amazon and comes with a wide range of physical automation features. The robot vacuum also comes with a power button which doubles as a 'Clean' button' and a 'Home button to send it home after cleaning. It also comes with a multi-functional dock that automatically emptys the dustbin, refills its water tank to mop and washes and dries its mop pads.

The Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home clean without spending too much time doing chores. It is a powerful machine with intelligent navigation, and a 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, that is, it can do mopping and vacuuming. The robot vacuum with mop is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be easily snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with microfiber pads. Separate modules for vacuuming and mopping might seem a bit outdated however, they mean that you don't need to worry about changing disposable bags or refueling the tank with water.

Our test participants discovered that the Matrix Plus did a great job at both vacuuming and mopping. Its most impressive feature was its accurate map of your floorplan that it uses to determine an outline for cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate effortlessly between rugs, furniture, and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option to set "No-Go zones" as well as virtual barriers, which can help to protect specific areas of your home from being cleaned with a mop.

We also noticed that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in picking up hair from pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair our cats shed, and even got into the nooks and crevices of our stairs which other robots struggled. It was quiet and had some lovely jingles to let you know when it was beginning or completing its task.

Its biggest drawbacks were its simple app and the requirement to switch out the modules whenever switching between vacuuming and mopping. The app can't store multiple maps, which could be a pain when you live in a house with a mix of floors. The Matrix Plus is a good option for those looking for an intelligent robot that is capable of mopping and vacuuming.

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 considering. The X1 Omni is most notable for its massive dock that serves as an charging base for the robot, a cleaning sink and two water tanks that are 4 liters in size. It also houses two bins: a 2.5-liter dustbin and an 2.5 liter dust bin.

The base has a couple of buttons for control that let you manually start a cleaning task, recall the robot or run the dock's automatic vacuum and mop robot emptying procedure. Hold down two buttons to toggle the child lock. This is a nice feature for parents worried about their children playing with the vacuum.

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

This can cause the X1 to become stuck if it gets entangled in a blockage, such as a power cable draped over a rug. It will not work until you untangle it manually. While it was not common but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen and especially because the X1 Omni doesn't come with a "stuck" status alert on its application.

The X1 Omni is unable to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming mode during a cleaning session. You'll have to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't too bad however, the mopping pad isn't washed or dried between uses. This can cause mildew and mold.

The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame), who created its sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a significant departure from the utilitarian, all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
